Humans are always like “ooh, pikmin are soooo cute!!!” Did you know that pikmin were responsible for 18% of species extinction in 2025 alone? Segmented crawbsters (an important habitats builder) are now an endangered species due to rapid pikmin territory expansion. Not so cute now huh? Maybe do your research next time.

I wonder if anyone in the Chain are worried about the Butterfly Effect?
Because it's one thing to meet Heroes that came before and after you in the Timeline. It's one thing to meet people of the Past and simply not hand over a History Book that contains spoilers for that person's future.
It is a completely different thing for Wild to be going around through the Eras before him taking samples of the flora that no longer exists in his Era!
This man is time traveling and collecting extinct species of plants and possibly bugs with the plan to take them back to his home Era to study them and hopefully make them grow there too!
Even if it doesn't break the timeline, what does such a thing mean for the flora and fauna of Wild's Era?? Will these new flowers become an invasive species? Will Wild reintroduce Mosquitoes without the general population knowing how to make bug spray?
Are the other Links even aware of what Wild is doing??
This is just some thoughts I've had recently... If anyone has answers or HCs regarding this type of thing, please feel free to share!

We may be able to bring it back from extinction. We found some infertile eggs in their breeding grounds.
