I love this game, sure the story may not be as good as the original black & white but it's bursting with charm, great music & visuals for the system, fixed the iffy gameplay quirks of the first game (like the linear world progression), jam PACKED with content during and post adventure it's about all I could ask for in a pokemon game and sadly in my opinion it's the last great game before the series sunk to mediocre, water-downed rpgs with the jump to 3D with X and Y but at least they went out with a bang and hopefully some day Gamefreak will as care much as the DS era of pokemon again and then I'll welcome back the series with open arms but until then.

Stupidly additive and fun, beautiful game in the audio and visual department, story's fun (louie you bastard), the quality of life improvements are great and for me personally the length was perfect not too short like pikmin 1 and not too long and padded out like 2, also the mission and bingo battle modes are even better than 2, The only things I didn't like are that it's a bit too easy and since it's a little more story focused than the other games it is more linear but still yeah pikmin 3's pretty damn fantastic I love this series man.
