Let's take a moment to appreciate how unique this series is.
I was just thinking how there are next to no games that are similar to Pikmin. Technically, it could fit into the real time strategy genre, but even in that entire genre I cannot think of a game that captures the essence of Pikmin.
The fact that the game is so unique helps me to appreciate it so much more than I already do. It also would make it even more tragic if the series were to be discontinued since there's no game that compares to it.
That's why I hope Pikmin 4 is still coming one day. Not just because I really enjoy the series, but also because it feels like we would lose an entire genre.

Agreed. I like Pikmin a lot more than other similar games due to the unique combination of its elements. Its uniqueness also adds a bit of niche value to it, which is why Nintendo doesn't bet as hard on it as other "standard" series, like Mario.
Hasn't each release been pretty successful though? Not, mario odyssey or BOTW successful of course, but still?
then again, even if I loved a game or a series of games and they were successful, that does not mean that follow up titles *need* to be made.
..... gimme that Pikmin 4 though.
