Hmm, well you haven't really pointed this discussion in any particular direction so I'm going to do my best to see what you mean by this.
I guess the reason so many people link them together is just because their names are so similar. Pikmin and Pokémon. Because really when you consider what each game is, they don't have that much in common. Pokémon is a variety of monsters of all different shapes and sizes you capture, breed and battle against one another. Pikmin is a species of plants you grow in 5 different colours that you horde and throw at larger enemies. Granted, you battle in both, but in Pokémon you pit one against one (or two against two) and use a variety of moves, the battle swaying depending on stats/types etc. In Pikmin you just simply throw as many as you can at one enemy. So aside the name I'm not really seeing that much of a connection.

it is called pikmin. it is a game where basically you are hit by a meteor and crash land on a planet inhabited by creatures who you name pikmin and they stay inside of what you call an onion and basically you and the pikmin need to find all of your ship parts ( or just 29 and not all 30) also it is fun in number 2 because you get 2 captains and 2 new kinds of pikmin
