Over the past few years, I’ve developed a peaceful little routine to make up for time spent cooped up inside working on sunny days: after I’ve closed my laptop for the day, I throw my sneakers on, openon my phone, and go for a long walk to clear my head and plant virtual flowers with the 'min.developer Niantic and Nintendo as another “go outside and touch grass” app, and I’ve been playing it pretty regularly since then.
There are frequent events that serve as motivation for reaching certain step count goals or planting a particular number of flowers, including some with community involvement. And, there's the prospect of collecting themed Pikmin who wear special decor outfits.is currently teasing some upcoming Cheese Decor Pikmin for next month, and I’m going to work extra hard to try and get them.
