Sorry, Hudson. I was simply throwing out ideas for an imaginary Pikmin sequel. They're examples of what EAD could do in place of having a mandatory time limit.
Idea 1: One Sweet World
Like Metroid Prime, the sequel could be one huge interconnected world. This would require warp points for ease of travel.
Idea 2: Time Continuum
Like Zelda:Oot, there could be no sectioning-off of days. Time would flow steadily from day to night to day. However, nighttime would be really dangerous.
Idea 3: The Journal
I really liked the journal, and Idea 2 kind of ruins Pikmin 1's Journal system. To keep the journal intact, entries would be made when discoveries are made, not at the end of each day.
Idea 4: For Treehuggers Only
This is where I think I lost people. The idea is that the environment is dynamic, like the environment on earth. There is a food chain, and if you mess with the food chain, you can ruin the environment. For example, if you cut down all of the pellet flowers, there won't be enough food for the polka-dotted bug waddlers, and so they'll die off. And like on Earth, if one species dies off, there are repercussions for the environment.
I'm sorry for being unclear...I will try harder.
