Captain Olimar (Pikmin)

Captain Olimar is the main character of the Pikmin franchise. He is a very small astronaut who winds up on a strange planet, and encounters plant creatures that he names Pikmin.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Olimar acts as the leader and commander of the Pikmin, and uses them to find different items and defeat certain enemies.
 * 2) Throughout the games, he writes several journal entries/monolouges about the game, including onions, pellets, and the Red Bulborb.
 * 3) His love of Pikpik Carrots is what he named the Pikmin after.
 * 4) Even when Olimar is alone, he can still battle enemies with a weak punch attack.
 * 5) He is notable as being the one who discovers every type of Pikmin to date.
 * 6) Olimar is also the first Hocotate Freight employee who discovered the planet where the Pikmin live.
 * 7) In the later Pikmin games, he teams up with not only his Pikmin, but also Louie, Alph, and Brittany to do more treasure hunting.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Olimar is pretty vulnerable and weak on his own.
 * 2) * He also cannot progress through the planets without the Pikmin to help him.
 * 3) Olimar isn't playable for most of Pikmin 3, the protagonist role going to Alph.
