>Pikmin get their name from the musings of the stranded Captain Olimar from the original game. While reflecting on his encounter with the Pikmin and his situation of being stranded on an alien world, Olimar needed something to call his newfound companions. > >Since they reminded Olimar of a special type of vegetable from his home planet of Hocotate called a [b:Pikpik Carrot], he decided to name the Pikmin after them. > >The real-world inspiration for Pikmin is a little different from Captain Olimar’s. Originally, the diminutive creatures were called [b:“ippiki”. In Japanese, this means “one small animal”]. During the development of the first game, Programmer Colin Reed mistakenly heard the name of the creatures as “Piki” and the nickname stuck, for a time. Over the course of development, Piki slowly became “Picky”. > >Once the team sat down and decided to settle on an official name, they landed on Pikmin, which they thought sounded a little like the phrase, [b:“pick me]” and the word [b:“vitamin”], a fitting choice since Captain Olimar must pluck them from the ground. Since these temporary names were floating around during Pikmin’s development, you can sometimes find variations of the “Piki” name in the game’s files
