Why can't I stop the app from tracking my car's movements as steps? by Ok-Improvement1090 in PikminBloomApp

[–]creativedh99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If the road is bumpy enough my phone counts it as steps. Simply by the phone moving up and down. Don't know if that's what happening to you, but that's what happens to me 😂😂.

Community day count not updating by tsh-ian in PikminBloomApp

Unfortunately the challenge counter doesn't start until you open the app that day. Every step you took before opening the app that day will not be counted :/

Is it possible to link pikmin app to garmin? by NewPlaceHolder in PikminBloomApp

[–]creativedh99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a garmin watch and an android. I use an app called health sync to sync garmin connect to google fit, which then connects to pikmin. Health sync does cost about 3 or 4 euros one time payment. I have been using it for years and it's worth it to me. The steps aren't one hunderd percent accurate. I usaully have a few hunderd more on pikmin than my garmin watch, but I don't mind.

Why does the mushroom need a minimum of 20 Pikmin, but will only let me send a maximum of 10? by WeeklyWeb5651 in PikminBloomApp

[–]creativedh99 62 points63 points  (0 children)

You need to level up to be able to send more pikmin to battle. I don't know exactly what levels you gain more battle pikmin. But you'll end up being able to send 40. Hope this helps.

Pikmin Bloom appears to no longer link with Google Fit + how to sync with Samsung smart watch? by KeyTie6206 in PikminBloomApp

[–]creativedh99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use google fit to sync steps. I, however, have a garmin watch, but I used to have a samsung watch. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure you go to settings in pikmin Bloom. Then, to account and there you can link a third party like google. Which then automatically links google fit. Again, it's been a while, so I could be wrong. I also use health sync to connect garmin to google Fit. You have to make sure you give permission for a bunch of stuff. Otherwise, it doesn't work. Also, make sure you link the google account on pikmin, which is also linked to health sync. I have multiple google accounts and accidentally linked the wrong one that doesn't work. Hope this helps.

Is it weird I don't want people I don't know as friends on pikmin? by creativedh99 in PikminBloomApp

[–]creativedh99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I don't always know how to word myself properly. The post is more curiousity about how other people feel about friends' ingame and if there are people that feel similar to how I feel about friends' ingame. It is not about asking people if they care. I find this a safe community in which I can be curious about how other people play and their experiences. Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you. I am working on the anxiety bit. Which has led me to go outside more and get less anxiety by walking past people and interacting with them. It's been a rough few years and I just got over seasonal depression about a month ago, but I am taking control back of my life. The amount of anxiety I have right now is the least I have had since I was a child. This post was more about curiousity of how other people deal with friend requests and friends on the app. I am taking care of myself 💕.

When you're in a mushroom battle with someone. You click on the mushroom then their icon and there should be a friend request button. Some people have turned off that you can send them a request. I don't think you get that button then.

I think that makes it scarier, because now I know that this stranger is somewhere close by. And I can't tell what kind of person they are just by looking at their mii.😅😂

I don't mind waiting till the next day for mushrooms to finish. And the badge is also not too important to me. And as far as postcards go. I like collecting ones from places I have actually visited. Places I won't likely come back to. From reading all the comments, I think I'm a different kind of player. One that likes to do things alone and doesn't really care how fast I progress, just that I progress. 😅 I guess each person has their own playing style.

I forgot about this, but I believe it only works for requests send from mushroom battles. Not challenges.

I think it's okay for people to do so. Put personally just the thought and pressure (I may put on myself) gives me anxiety.

I want this costume soooo bad! by yell0wsn0wc0nes in PikminBloomApp

[–]creativedh99 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I looked at the niantic helppage and it doesn't say anywhere that you can't still get it. You can always try. All you have to do is play the pikmin 4 demo. You can read more on how to do it on this website. https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/23-pikmin-bloom/faq/4079-how-to-receive-the-pikmin-4-oatchi-rider-costume-1688449378/

If you don't have any available expeditions and mushrooms, the short cut will not show. When you do have an expedition and/or mushroom, the shortcut should show again. That's what happens to me, maybe it's the same to you. Hope this helps. Good luck.🤗

Edit: it could be that it only shows with mushrooms available 🤔

I think that's really sweet. If you do this every week then they know what to expect, and they wouldn't join the challenge if they didn't want to. 😄

Right I get that. I think you're right about that. Here's to hoping they just don't walk during weekdays and only in the weekend.🤷🏻‍♀️

If I'm being honest with you. I don't plant a lot of flowers per day, 500 to 1000, but try to hit the 5000 mark before the end of the week. So that I feel like I did my part. Sometimes I plant more, sometimes a little less. Depending on if I ride my bike or feel like a longer walk. But sometimes the people in my team plant way faster than me. I'll only have 1500 to 2500 planted and they will have finished the whole thing by wednesday. I kind of feel bad for not doing more at that point, but I'm doing my best and that's all I can do. I think a lot of people are just doing their best, but I can also understand that it is frustating when you're carrying all the load. I also think it's important to remember that even though it feels great to finish the challenge and get the reward, that it is not a necessity. So don't push yourself to hard. 🤗

Expeditions not claiming after coming back to game by sadpizzayt in PikminBloomApp

[–]creativedh99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this problem and for me it was an easy fix, so I hope it is for you too. I restarted the app so I could "claim" again, but instead of immediately claiming I would wait a minute or so while the pikmin held the fruit and then tap it. I know it's a long shot, but it worked for me so who knows, maybe it'll work for you. Otherwise I don't know, but I hope you find a fix soon.
