Not sure if it fits, but I always thought pikmin was hard to pin down into a genre.

I disagree. Pikmin is a real time strategy game with puzzle elements. I think that descriptor fits well

Has real time strategy for sure, but also adventure/exploration elements.  More so than Warcraft or Starcraft.  Especially Pikmin 4.  

Most RTS, at least the ones I've played, the player commands the units to fight and is a spectator.  Pikmin has full control over the battles with skill bring required, certainly with boss fights.  Always felt a bit action genre to me.

I do agree that Pikmin is RTS dominant but has a bunch of secondary genres tossed in.
