Although Pikmin as we see them today are just a series of funky, little guys, their original concept was a bit darker in nature.series of interviews, Pikmin creator Shigeru Miyamoto spoke alongside former series directors Shigefumi Hino and Masamichi Abe, as well as programmer Yuji Kando and designer Junji Morii on the origins of the series.
Hino revealed initially the team had planned to feature creatures with AI chips in their heads in the first Pikmin game, and players would be able to control them by assigning different chips. The concept art for this prototype was shown, and the early Pikmin would have looked like round creatures with limbs, a nose, eyes, and an antenna.As the team wanted to use a top-down camera, they needed each Pikmin to be instantly identifiable from what was on their head, Hino said.
Mori's initial sketches were drawn in a very distinct style, and he revealed at the time he was interested in the works of film director Tim Burton."I wanted the designs to not just be cute," he said,"but also give a sense of eeriness or some emotional weight," which led to him using lots of lines layered on top of each other.Nintendo
The team wanted to contrast the"bright and vibrant designs" of the Mario and Zelda series, Hino said, so they welcomed the focus on a"sober, mature, and mysterious world". The team watched experimental French film Fantastic Planet together for inspiration, and Hino joked they"all had puzzled looks" on their faces as they watched.
The cinema inspirations didn't end there, Miyamoto said, as he revealed they watched"all kinds of films for inspiration, like indie films from Europe or artistic films you wouldn't find in regular video stores". Hino also said they read The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, as it had lots of information about"the weird ecology of living things".
