ill never forget my last pikmin experience and I havnt gone back to it since, the pain is too much. I was playing pikmin 2 and I was in one of the caves early on in the game and came across a giant slug as the cave boss. I was kicking it's ass but the all of a sudden, my hundreds of pikmin fighting him from all angles got crushed when he decided to just roll over. seeing all the pik-ghosts go up to the sky was enough for me. a sad day
