{{Forumheader|Watercooler}}

I saw a picture of black pikmin in the community portal then clicked to be deleted was this picture forged or real? for give me if I'm stupid [[Image:http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/91/defaultjm2.jpg]]

:Yes and no. That is a real image, but you can't get them naturally in the game. The guy who took it used an Action Replay hacking device to change the default colors of all his Pikmin to black. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

Oh that helped alot i just want to use black but you have to hack it.-crazy9090

:Well, you're not missing too much. It's really just a change in their skin color, they don't gain any special powers. Although, if you want to try it anyway, you can always buy an Action Replay. You can probably find a fairly cheap one on Amazon or eBay. They also have one for $30 at Codejunkies.com. Aside from getting black Pikmin, you can probably find all sorts of neat codes online. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

The Pikmin's Onion color also changes when these codes are activated, but nothing else happens. (As Jimbo Jambo stated). {{User:Me_just_in/sig}}20:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Not necessarily. Mine cannot change that colour. Although, most do have more code options. How do you think I managed to squeeze 599 Pikmin out of a single day?--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

:Then you're probably not using the right codes. ''6V60-YTGK-VPUXK KRJ5-EW06-8445A'' supposedly turns Red Pikmin black. There are a bunch more [http://www.cheathappens.com/show_cheat.asp?ID=12586 here]. I'd guess that most of them work with Pikmin 2 as well, but you'll have to see for yourself.
