You don't need to do all that. Why do you have to have a story reason anyway? Oh, okay. I use the power of "imagination" to imagineer a reason right now!
They get weaker and die off when you have too many because.... THE ONIONS REGULATE THE ENERGY OF THE PIKMIN, BUT CAN ONLY MANAGE SO MANY AT ONCE! It's the best I could do in 3 seconds okay? So sue me! There, now you can set up a "food limit" type of situation without making them NEED to search for food all the time. Still, even if they did have to search for food, it wouldn't be much of a stretch from the process of gathering food normally.
But the thing is ABF you CAN go exploring as much as you want and just go back after you reset! Here's the deal, the time limit is VERY superficial in Majora's Mask. Once you complete a task up to a point where you get an important item, you can reset and go STRAIGHT to exploring the next thing you wanted to do using that item. Now if I really DID loose everything during a time reset (like you seem to be saying is the case, it's not), I would find that annoying too, but that's not what happens.
Oh yeah, the GCN card DOES have a limit of 128 files total on the card. That's just nuts. You would think they would be caught up with the rest of the world by now. They COULD have just recycled a FAT type system like Sony's memory cards if they couldn't figure out a decent file system on their own... Sheesh, they could do some base level security to prevent some files from being movable or copiable there too (though all files should be movable, there is NO reason they shouldn't be at least that, though I can obviously see why some might not be copyable).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
