Currently, the Pikmin shown on the postcard after defeating a mushroom are the first 5 selected when dispatching the team. However, based on our testing, if the selection is changed—such as by altering the color filter or sorting method—the postcard does not reflect the originally selected 5 Pikmin.
Most players select 5 specific Pikmin first to match the desired postcard, then switch to power-based sorting to fill the team to 40. It would improve the user experience if the postcard still featured the first 5 manually selected Pikmin, regardless of any sorting or color filtering done afterward.
Additionally, when players manually select some Pikmin and then tap “Auto,” the system currently clears those manual selections before filling the team. It would be better if the “Auto” function preserved the already selected Pikmin and only filled the remaining spots.
These changes would make the selection process more intuitive and preserve player intention when forming teams.
