First time beating both Pikmin 1 and 2. 2 was fun because it expanded a lot of the ideas of Pikmin 1 in elegant ways, gave you much more content, made it accessible by taking away the timer (while being a harder game than 1 in some ways), and is a debt repayment RPG which are always a good time. However, I think I liked Pikmin 1 more because it was a more focused experience and I found the underground sections to grow a bit tedious by the back half. Still, really good game!
