I think it's an interesting question. I think Pikmin for the most part would be seen as pests, but they're pretty interesting in their own right, and would probably draw some interest from botanists and gardeners as well as antfamists...or whatever. I can definitely imagine people growing small clusters of Pikmin in pots, or utilizing them in the garden to remove bugs which are particularly damaging to crops, so long as they can be kept out of the house, kind of like wasps, only prettier and stingless. As for Bulborbs, it's kind of hard to say. They seem more like eating machines than an animal which can be domesticated, but then again, they really only eat tiny things, which doesn't make them very different from animals like frogs and anteaters. They're also nocturnal though, but I suppose they could be bread/trained to be more active during the day, and there are also a few species which are naturally diurnal. As pets I don't think they'd be as mainstream as cats and dogs, probably about as common as snakes and lizards. Then again, there's a good chance that Bulborbs would be the sort of animal that would just bite you if you tried to pet it, so I'm not really that sure how suitable they would be as pets. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | I think it's an interesting question.

That is a pretty cool idea!Aren't [[Empress Bulblax]]es supposed to be like a Termite queen?So imagine having one of those hiding in your wall just like a real termite queen, constantly giving birth to [[Bulborb Larva]]e.And little kids would want pikmin to live with them, where they could steel stuff.A [[Titan Dweevil]] could ignite your house.Imagine Walking to the bathroom or kitchen at night and a [[Raging Long Legs]] drops down right in front of u and scares the heck out of u?Or what if you encounter a [[Man-at-Legs]] ? | That is a pretty cool idea!Aren't [[Empress Bulblax]]es supposed to be like a Termite queen?So imagine having one of those hiding in your wall just like a real termite queen, constantly giving birth to [[Bulborb Larva]]e.And little kids would want pikmin to live with them, where they could steel stuff.A [[Titan Dweevil]] could ignite your house.Imagine Walking to the bathroom or kitchen at night and a [[Raging Long Legs]] drops down right in front of u and scares the heck out of u?Or what if you encounter a [[Man-at-Legs]] ? | ||
But then again it would be kind of cute to live in a world where you come home and pikmin are battling with your dog?Plus, I've always wanted a pet [[Mamuta]] to take care of my moms garden?And I'm pretty sure that the military could use [[Gatling Groink]]s and Man-At-Legs.They could also be used as Gaurds for houses that get robbed or vandalized.Overall, I think Pikmin in the real world is a good idea! | But then again it would be kind of cute to live in a world where you come home and pikmin are battling with your dog?Plus, I've always wanted a pet [[Mamuta]] to take care of my moms garden?And I'm pretty sure that the military could use [[Gatling Groink]]s and Man-At-Legs.They could also be used as Gaurds for houses that get robbed or vandalized.Overall, I think Pikmin in the real world is a good idea! | ||

::::::::About global warming, my belief is that very little of it is caused by us, and what is is negligible. There's the consideration of things like sunspots, Milankovitch cycles, the way the oceans absorb/release CO<sub>2</sub> upon temperature fluctuations, ocean currents, to take into account, things which have a far greater impact on the earth's climate. People also don't realise that, seeing as ice ages, as such, don't have specific boundaries, but are continuous, and many short and long cycles of changes in temperature exist within each other, we are actually in an ice age right now. There's also a lack of realisation of just how unstable the earth's climate is, and how much it has changed in the past; and that this appears to be one of the calmer times.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | ::::::::About global warming, my belief is that very little of it is caused by us, and what is is negligible.

:::::::::Note to Crystal: global warming is not a myth. Its impact on our lives is debatable, but it has happened many times in the past, and, as the average annual temperature around the globe rises each year, it is happening now. Also, faith-based meaning religious arguments which cite scripture rather than, you know, other stuff. Anyway Green, I wouldn't go as far as to say that our CO2 emissions alone are going to boil the planet in a matter of years, but I believe that what many people are arguing is that we've set into motion a sort of snowball effect which gets exponentially greater as certain changes, like melting ice caps, make way for even more heat absorption/retention. There's no question that it can and probably would eventually have happened without our help, but looking at temperature increases within the last hundred years, it seems likely that we contributed to it. You've probably heard that before though, and since I know so very little on the subject, it's not something I particularly want to try and debate. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | :::::::::Note to Crystal: global warming is not a myth.

::Nobody said it was likely for any given universe to harbor creatures such as Pikmin, but what you have to understand is that that the behavior of tiny subatomic particles isn't governed the simple rhyme and reason we see in larger scales. You can never say for sure that particle A will move to point B, you can only assign a probability the possibility that it will, which basically means that anything conceivable, even stuff which you wouldn't think possible, ''is'' possible, and ''does'' happen in some far-off parallel reality. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | ::Nobody said it was likely for any given universe to harbor creatures such as Pikmin, but what you have to understand is that that the behavior of tiny subatomic particles isn't governed the simple rhyme and reason we see in larger scales.
