Pikmin RPG ideas needed
I'm making a Pikmin forum game, but I need ideas for level layouts, enemies, and treasure/ship parts. Yes, there will be both ship parts and treasure. I've already got 5 types of new Pikmin ready, and 11 new level names.
The new Pikmin:
Green: Mature into flowers faster when planted, flowers have 100% chance of leaving behind seeds after death, and can destroy weeds.
Pink: Have wings, and if they are the only type of pikmin on an object, they fly it back to their Onion, making deliveries much faster. They can't be thrown as high as yellow pikmin, but much, much further. However, their defense is halved.
Cyan: They can cross ice, a new hazard which would freeze other Pikmin. They can also freeze spinning platforms that are over hazards. (I'm looking for a better ability, so please post ideas.)
Orange: Basically, the defense versions of Purple Pikmin. Along with their doubled defense, they can carry bomb-rock, and are immune to quicksand and bomb-rocks. They build and destroy faster, and are the only pikmin that can build with bricks. However, their speed and throw length are just as low as Purple Pikmin.
Black: They are Bulbmin without a host. If you throw enough black pikmin on specific enemies (but not bosses.) to equal their weight, they become one and go inside the enemy. However, if there are not enough blacks on it, or the enemy is not compatible, they attack like a normal Pikmin. But, their attack and defense are REALLY weak.
New Hazards/Items: Ice, Quicksand, (Works like water, but ice is faster and quicksand is slower.) Weeds, (Block your path) Bricks, (Can be used to make stairs) Spinning platforms, (They rotate over hazards, usually Spikes.) and Spikes. (They spell instant doom for you and your pikmin.)
Levels/Caves: Mostly the reason i made this topic. I have the level names ready, but I need level and cave designs. To do this, you must make a map. Here's a map of The Impact Site from the original Pikmin for an example. 
Make sure to label enemies, parts, and treasure like i did.
Every area must have 5-10 caves, and The Blazing Volcano and The Ultimate Challenge must have 5. Also, the first of the Blazing Volcano's caves must not have any hazards, and the last 3 of the cave there require the first 5 pikmin.
Here is a list of levels and what Pikmin are discovered there, in the order you visit them.
1: The Blazing Volcano: Red Pikmin. 2: The Eastern Woods: Green Pikmin. 3: The Valley of the Mighty: Purple Pikmin. 4: The Thunderous Cliffs: Yellow Pikmin. 5: The Shady Isle: Blue Pikmin. 6: The Windy Hills: Pink Pikmin. 7: The Plains of Venom: White Pikmin. 8: The Frozen Mountain: Cyan Pikmin. 9: The Rocky Desert: Orange Pikmin. 10: The Hypnotic Forest: Black Pikmin. 11: The Ultimate Challenge: No new pikmin.
Ship Parts/Treasure: there will be 180 treasures, and 20 ship parts. I don't need any help with the parts, but man, I need a lot of good treasure ideas!
Enemies: I need a few good enemy ideas, because all I can think of are additions to the Blowhog family.
That's all. And remember: The more ideas you post, the sooner you can play the RPG!

Re: Pikmin RPG ideas needed
I'm sure you put a lot of thought into this... except one thing. If this is a forum game, then there are no levels, no images, no anything. Are you sure you wanna keep calling it that?

Re: Pikmin RPG ideas needed
It seems like too much trouble for a forum game, but it's multiplayer so it can't be a scratch project. Quite the dillema. Oh well, cya, I gotta get working on something

Re: Pikmin RPG ideas needed
here are some ideas:
Gardening Snargret
Louies Notes:
remove foot and marinate in honey and garlic, serve on a platter with various sauces to dip.
Olimars Notes:
gardening snargret
shiripedes florandes
snavian family
this creature, related to the piloted snargret, pounds pokemon into the ground with its massive foot and eats the pokemon seeds, because it only eats plants.
Stony Cannon Beetle:
Louies Notes:
remove shell and masht he tender, soft belly meat and mix in with cream cheese, dill, sour cream, and a salad dressing of your choice. great on crackers!
Olimars Notes:
stony cannon bettle
armourae chukkilanae
lithopod family
only a purple pikmin could smash this beasts shell, revealing its weak flesh, so it can be faster killed.

Re: Pikmin RPG ideas needed
Man, those ideas are GOOD! but it should be called a stony cannon beetle, and there's no armor beetle family, but there are cannon beetles. And will you map my areas?

Re: Pikmin RPG ideas needed
here are some treasures:
rubiks cube (toy set) 'impossible riddle'
steak knife (cutlery set) 'household weapon'
banana (fruit set) 'strange delicacy'

and some enimies:
sheargrub cocoon:

its extremly thick lining makes it in edible.
olimars notes:
sheargrub cocoon
coconus mandibulosa
mandiblard family
just discovered by scientists, sheargrubs form into cocoons and become shearmoths! it hangs high up, so only a yellow pikmin could attack it. after its been attacked many times, it just gives up and falls of the tree and explodes on the pikmin.
shearmoth:
louies notes:
remove wings, and fry the body until crispy. then sprinkle generously over a stir fry of steamed pikpik carrots, hocotate onions, and chunks of fried water dumples.
olimars notes:
shearmoth
mothothus mandibulosa
mandiblard family
it flys around and swoops down when a pikmin comes by.

Re: Pikmin RPG ideas needed
Trophie would go into sports set. and you need to think of the names that the ship gives them. By the way the Dolphin or the ship from Pikmin 2 are not used, this game's ship is called the SS. Porpuise.

Re: Pikmin RPG ideas needed
Vacuming Blowhog is a good idea, but I already have a sparky blowhog and a sludgy blowhog. All you other enemies are very good. And also, you don't have to do a map; just a very detailed description of the area such as 'a stick gate is directly north of the red onion. passed it is two red bulborbs" Bye, I'll see you in 7-8 hours.
