I live in an area where I can obtain a wide variety of decors, however, I also notice that with the increasing number of decors that also have their rare type available, the motivation drops quite a bit.
Mainly because some of those released rare decors are already very hard to obtain their regular variant of. And for the decor types you have all the rares collected it becomes useless to obtain their decors for collection purposes.
This inspired the following idea:
A set of 8 rare pikmin requires 120 pikmin to pluck, get their decor and discard.
What if for completed rare pikmin categories you would be able to obtain joker rare points you can allocate to any category, but they will only reward you with 25% of the points? Which means that you would need 480 pikmin to complete a random category of rares. This both makes it worthwhile to pick up completed rare category decors and makes it feel more realistic to slowly complete those very hard to obtain rare category decors. And it does not change the fact that you first need to complete the regular set of those decor categories.
I am curious what you all think of this idea!
