Niantic's AR games are renowned for their innovative ways of encouraging physical activity, and Pikmin Bloom's latest update might just take the cake—or should we say, pasta? In a move that blends the digital and culinary worlds, the game is introducing the peculiar Pasta Decor Pikmin, available exclusively at local Italian restaurants.
This isn't a clever ploy to get you dining out, but rather an inventive twist on the classic Pikmin formula. By visiting your nearest Italian eatery, you can discover seedlings for these unique Pasta Decor Pikmin, which sport an array of pasta-themed decorations. From familiar favorites to more exotic varieties, these Pikmin promise to add a dash of Italian flair to your collection.
While the concept may seem bizarre, it's precisely this quirkiness that could draw players out of their homes and into local eateries. The added foot traffic might be a welcome surprise for restaurant owners, provided they're prepared for the influx of curious Pikmin enthusiasts.
To join in on this pasta-themed adventure, you'll need to update your Pikmin Bloom app. It's a small step to take for the chance to enjoy some pasta perfection in your virtual garden. So, lace up your shoes and head to your local Italian restaurant to find those seedlings!
