I feel for Pikmin fans regarding the main series. There was only 3 years after the first Pikmin to 2nd, but it was about 9 years from the 2nd to the 3rd, and then about 10 years from the 3rd to the 4th.
There were some ports, Hey Pikmin in 2017, and Pikmin Bloom in 2021. But these are not even remotely the same as new core titles releasing.
Hopefully Pikmin 5 takes 6 years or less after 4, so there could be another Pikmin in the 2020s and less of a wait.
Pikmin 4 will likely make its July release, but I would not it put it past Nintendo to delay the game a few months or even into December if they need to polish it a lot more.
