==Orange or green?==
I am still not convinced the Pikmin inside the Bulborb is orange, the motion blur the throwing cursor etc surely are all orange because of the Bulborbs orange body. The stem also seems to be part of the bulborbs body which the Pikmin has stretched over itself, the only part of the Pikmin exposed to the environment is its leaf which it needs to photosynthesis or whatever Pikmin do with it.

The trail and cursor are orange, but the leaf-glow and blip on the radar (I think?) are green. Personally, I think if you were to dissect a Bulbmin, you'd find nothing but a sinewy bundle of root-nerves tangled around inside the poor host. Really, what use is skin if you spend your entire life attached to the nervous system of another animal? Albeit, most endoparasites still have a shell or skin, but they live ''inside'' their hosts, not as ''part'' of it. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

Actually, I really do think the Pikmin inside it is green, and to explain the cursor and the streak when thown, yellows leave a yellow train, reds leave a red, and their streak is the same color as their skin, the cursor also changes to match the pikmin color, bulbmin are orange on the outside, why, if a white spot was right where the pikmin stem was, people would argure that the pikmin is white. And idle pikmin always release a color that they are, the radar shows what color the pikmin are, except for burried pikmin (which also show green).[[User:Learner|Learner]] 18:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

if you really think about it the leaf is green soo it would show green, and the bulborb is orange soo it would show orange soo it could be an entirely different color besides orange/green.

Most likely the Orange and Green colors are meant to represent immunities. As Green and Orange are combinations of all other colors. Red-Yellow-Blue=Orange/Green. As for Poison...

You can keep thinking which one it is, Green or Orange, until Nintendo confirm what colour it is. We should not mention colour at all. If we vote for a colour and claim it is that colour on the article what would happen if Nintendo confirmed it as a different colour! as Chozo says we should represent ''fact'' not ''fiction'' [[User:Loafy the Breadbug|Loafy the Breadbug]]

I think Beady long legs eat using "mouths" (is that how you would say it) on their feet. Some bugs have similar structures on their feet that can "taste". So (unrelated) would they be able to taste their feet too? I wonder if their feet are sweet. (PS if anyone gets that reference I will do something that will be decided upon on a later date) --[[User:Louie G.|Itsa me! Louie G.]] 21:43, 6 June 2012 (EDT)

My theory on the whole smoking then exploding thing is so that no one and nothing can find it's weakness. Exept I also think that the pikmin 1 bll is a machine because when you kill it, oil comes out.[[User:Masta pikmin]]Fear da blue pikmin!!!! 03:17, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

the BLL isnt machine... it makes wax secretions that explain all the aforementioned oil and everything. same with raging probably. But, woouldn't Groinks be on the list? though it'd be cool to have pikmin that shoot grenade thingies.

I was in Frontier cavern sublevel 5 I think and I threw a Bulbmin into a Violet Candypop bud, but the trail it left was ''purple''. Glitch? [[User:Loafy the Breadbug|Loafy the Breadbug]]

The only thing I can think of is splitting this article into two articles; one for the Adult Bulbmin, and one for the Juvenile.

== Proving the damage dealt by Bulbmin. ==
:Hey, Espyo... there's some sort of to do that says to prove whether the attack power is 5 or 10. Now, I'll admit, that does seem like a fair point to bring up, but how does one go about finding out this invisible number of Bulbmin attack strength? Count how many hits it takes for 1 Bulbmin to slay a Dwarf Red Bulborb? I had a little formula in mind for this process, if so, and I'm assuming that Pikmin [[maturity]] does not matter in the least:
1 Bulbmin Number of Hits to fell a DRB [Dwarf Red Bulborb] = X '''(This applies to them having 10 for attack strength.)'''
1 Bulbmin Number of Hits to fell a DRB = Y '''(This applies to them having 5 for attack strength.)'''
:I think I might have a way to differentiate the two: throw in one White/Yellow/Blue Pikmin at the DRB and count the number of times they hit the Breadbug before it falls since these three have an attack strength of 10. Then, toss in a Bulbmin and count the number of hits it takes for one Bulbmin to fell a DRB. Here's my second formula for that:
If X is = Number of hits it takes for a White/Blue/Yellow Pikmin to fell a DRB, then Bulbmin have 10 for an attack strength.
If X is > Number of hits it takes for a W/B/Y Pikmin to fell a DRB, then Y is true and they have 5 for an attack strength.
:If their attack strength is 5, then wouldn't that make them the weakest of the Pikmin family, applicable to Pikmin 2? If so, that would probably be worth a mention in Trivia.--[[User:TheTruth23|TheTruth23]] ([[User talk:TheTruth23|talk]]) 08:29, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
::Well, don't worry too much about that. These values are easily obtained with memory reading. Like, checking what address holds the HP value of an enemy, letting a Bulbmin pummel once, and checking the HP after. I'm not sure if the "first hit causes double damage" rule applies to Pikmin 2, but that can be checked easily too. Anyway, this is best done with Dolphin, so if you don't have it, ignore it and somebody else will take care of it one day. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:05, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
== How does one Bulbmin? ==
In Pikmin, there are so many weird creatures. But the bulbmin really confuse me. How did a bulborb get infected by a Pikmin? Maybe more light will be shed on the concept. What are your theories? Maybe a parasite Pikmin? Maybe an enemy of great power fused them together! So, can you guys help me?
:It's really a mystery. I hope they expand on it in Pikmin 4. If it is a parasite Pikmin, it might have infected other enemies too. What if that's even the central plot of Pikmin 4?

== Split ==
Currently, this article describes 2 quite different things: the enemy Bulbmin, and the Pikmin type Bulbmin. These things have the same name and are the same species, but they behave very differently, and force this article to be both an enemy article and a Pikmin type article. Considering this, should they continue to be described on the same page, or should this article be split? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:18, January 7, 2023 (EST)
:I think it's fine the way it is. But if this page were to be split, how would it be satisfactorily named? The main page could become a disambiguation page, and link to <nowiki>[[Bulbmin (enemy)]]/(adult)]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Bulbmin (Pikmin)]]/(juvenile)]]</nowiki>, but that's not too great. It's certainly better than the unlikely alternative, which is making <nowiki>[[Bulbmin (disambiguation)]]</nowiki> and having either the adult or the juvenile be the focus of the <nowiki>[[Bulbmin]]</nowiki> while the other gets the short end of the stick title-wise. {{User:Cheepy/sig}}
