pikmin bloom

wasn't quite sure where to put this thread so it's ended up here.

does anyone else play pikmin bloom?

I've become obsessed with it over the last year but never found anyone in real life that plays. You can make friends with other players ingame but there's no chat function. I love sending my Pikmin all over the world to defeat mushrooms and bring back interesting postcards though.

just thought I'd ask

Never heard of it. When I first read the title I wondered if it was something like the fish killing algal bloom that has infested waters near my city for the past 12 months.

Then when I saw it was a phone app I realised why I had never heard of it. Quite a few of us have issues with phones and avoid using them where ever possible.

I play it daily. When I went to Taipei, I got so many Pikmin from the local area and completed most of the monthly missions.

It's to do with audio processing disorder. I'm a very good communicator, even a bit of a con man in a face to face situation, but I rely heavily on lip reading and body language in order to communicate. Over the phone I can only understand every second or third word and I have to keep asking people to repeat themselves again and again.

I have a phone because you have to these days but it lives next to my computer and hardly ever gets touched. I never take it with me when I got out, I hate them.
