Yes, I believe that pikmin would qualify as a strategy game and a lot of it has to do with the gameplay style of both of the games. In the first game, it was all about using your time wisely, having your pikmin travel across the land during that certain amount of time collecting ship parts in that amount of time. Creating a plan on how to get the most ship parts on that day and how to keep pikmin deaths to a minimum. Another aspect is how you can split your pikmin up into different squads an make them do different tasks, this way of play was used a lot more in the second game when two captains was brought into the mix. The caves in second game involved a lot of strategy. When I played the game I would usually take on of the captains and use him as a scout to see what the floor layout and what traps or enemies were on that floor, and then i would make a plan revolving around that layout.
