Never really saw the appeal in Pikmin. I'm not a big RTS fan in general but Pikmin just seemed too simplified for that even. Plus I really only like the RTS games that involve like building a base and stuff.
And I tried playing the first one a bit but I lost interest.
Back when it first came out, a console 'RTS' that looked that nice and ran that smooth was SUPER rare, and hence SUPER interesting. Now it's just like whatever; same as Mega Man Legends 3, I doubt it would live up to the combination of hype and misguided nostalgia.
