In order for them to grow, you have to walk a certain distance, sort of like hatching an egg in Pok\u00e9mon Go.<\/p>\n<p>Players can feed their pikmin to make them bloom and then collect the petals, which let you create a trail of flowers as you walk for other players to see.<\/p>\n<p>The game also saves information in your journal about how much you\u2019ve walked, the pikmin you\u2019ve collected, and places you\u2019ve visited and then shows you a little video at the end of the day. You can even add notes and photos to make it more personal. An AR mode is also available for you to see the cute little guys crawling around the real world.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"75786\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/post\/75783\/niantics-pikmin-bloom-ar-game-heading-smartphones-globally-today\/attachment\/2110270814253#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/2110270814253.jpg?fit=1031%2C739&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1031,739\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2110270814253\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/2110270814253.jpg?fit=300%2C215&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/2110270814253.jpg?fit=1024%2C734&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-75786 size-large\" title=\"Niantic\u2019s Pikmin Bloom AR Game Heading to Smartphones Globally From Today\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wp-corp.qoo-app.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/2110270814253-1024x734.jpg?resize=1024%2C734&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Niantic\u2019s Pikmin Bloom AR Game Heading to Smartphones Globally From Today\" width=\"1024\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/2110270814253.jpg?resize=1024%2C734&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/2110270814253.jpg?resize=300%2C215&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/2110270814253.jpg?resize=768%2C550&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/2110270814253.jpg?w=1031&amp;ssl=1 1031w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"pre-register\"><a class=\"in-post-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/pikminbloom.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Official Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"pre-register\"><a class=\"in-post-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PikminBloom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Official Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pikmin Bloom is the AR app by Pok\u00e9mon Go creator Niantic.
