Pikmin Bloom is gearing up to release one of the most peculiar updates in its growing list of AR adventures—and this time, it’s bringing pasta into the mix. That’s right, the new Pasta Decor Pikmin are here, and they’re ready to spice up your walks with their uniquely delicious style.
In true Niantic fashion, this latest update encourages players to get moving—but instead of chasing PokéStops or scanning landmarks, you’ll be heading to your local Italian eatery. These restaurants will serve as hotspots for finding new seedlings, giving players a chance to grow their very own Pasta Decor Pikmin.
Each of these quirky Pikmin arrives dressed in various types of pasta, some recognizable and others more unusual. Whether it’s spaghetti, penne, or something entirely out of the noodle norm, these new additions bring both charm and a touch of culinary creativity to your in-game squad.
It’s definitely an unexpected twist, but that’s what makes it so intriguing. While the idea of players flocking to neighborhood Italian restaurants might raise a few eyebrows, it could also mean more visibility (and maybe even business) for small eateries. And let’s face it—stranger things have happened in mobile gaming.
Boy, this stuff is good
Honestly, I think this feature will work precisely because of how bizarre it is. It's the kind of offbeat idea that Niantic fans have come to expect—and love. It may not make perfect sense at first glance, but that’s half the fun.
Of course, before you start mapping out your route to the nearest pizzeria, don’t forget to update the app. Only then will you be able to track down these flavorful little companions.
So lace up your shoes, grab your phone, and hit the streets in search of those all-important seedlings. You never know what other surprises await around the corner.
