:A scientific name is a combontation of something's ''genus'' name (generic name) followed by its ''species'' name (specific name). ''Pariciticus'' is the Bulbmin's generic name, where ''pikminicus'' is its specific name. [[Wikipedia:Scientific classification|Scientific classification]] works kind of like a tree, where the ''species'' would be the tip of the branch. To put it into perspective, humans (''Homo sapiens'') are in the same family as orangutans (''Pongo pygmaeus'' and ''P. abelii''), gorillas (''Gorilla gorilla'' and ''G. beringei''), and our closest relatives, chimpanzees (''Pan troglodytes'' and ''P. paniscus''), but of course have different scientific names, since we don't belong to the same genus. You're right, though, it's very possible that the colored Pikmin have "pikminicus" in their scientific names (they could all even have the same specific name if they belonged to different genuses), but we can't say anything of the sort until they're named by an official source. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} (By the way, be sure to click the link.

:What, are you a creationist or something? Why on earth would stating so offend someone? I'm actually amazed that what I said offended you as if it were racist or something. You don't ''have'' to believe in common ancestors, but it's a bit surprising that you're trying to argue anything on this page when the entire classification system being used is based on common ancestry. Even if you don't like the idea of us being related to other animals, humans are still classified as being a part of the same family, so it's a valid example. ...And Prez wasn't scolding you or anything, talk pages are for personal comments, but what you said wasn't related at all.

Look it up. Creationists believe, in a nutshell, that God created all life-forms in the beginning exactly as they are today, whereas evolutionists believe that life changed and adapted to different environments over time. You can believe in God ''and'' evolution, and you can believe in creationism without God. It has nothing to do with Jesus or grace, just with genesis. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | Look it up.

::The beetle's whistle attracts and pacifies them, but they attack as soon as it stops. Also, I think it's worth noting that Pikmin don't immediately attack Olimar as soon as he picks them out of the ground, before he can whistle at them.

:Olimar commands the Pikmin with his whistle, we can see that. The problem with Olimar commanding the Pikmin via radio signals is, besides the obvious unlikelyhood of any animal evolving the ability to pick up super low-freq radio waves, that unless the Pikmin had some way of interpreting complex commands, the orders he gives them could be no more complex than those he could with his whistle. I think the fact that Pikmin sing when in a swarm indicates that Pikmin use sound (in addition to visual and possibly chemical signals) to communicate with one another and keep the swarm organized. As for the antenna beetle, well, it fits pretty perfectly into both ideas, but Olimar's notes do mention its roar. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | :Olimar commands the Pikmin with his whistle, we can see that.

:Well yes, when I meant frequencies I was talking about Olimar's whistle, as that's how he gives the bulk of his orders, but then again it's possible his whistle is a subset of his radio which is why it can only be "heard" by his pikmin and other crewman.

I just think that the pikmin see Olimar as a parental figure and that they are attracted to him and/or Anntenna Beetle because of the sound frequency,and that they attack enemies and carry things simply by instinct. also, on their own, the pikmin were found hunting minor enemies, and the only reason they can kill boss-type enemies when they are controlled by a captain is because that would be an organized attack. as a reason the whistle doesn't bother enemies, maybe pikmin have some sort of frequency-detecting organ that enemies dont. As to why pikmin do certain other things,I'm with GP on that one. -random creepy guy | I just think that the pikmin see Olimar as a parental figure and that they are attracted to him and/or Anntenna Beetle because of the sound frequency,and that they attack enemies and carry things simply by instinct. also, on their own, the pikmin were found hunting minor enemies, and the only reason they can kill boss-type enemies when they are controlled by a captain is because that would be an organized attack. as a reason the whistle doesn't bother enemies, maybe pikmin have some sort of frequency-detecting organ that enemies dont.

I have a better idea, maybe the onion and the pikmin are different species, you know, the onion releases the pikmin before Olimar because maybe it knew that he would breed pikmin. The nutrients from enemies and pellets feed the onion, the onion keeps a fraction of the nutrients, while it releases pikmin due to mutualism. Both the pikmin and the onion benifit from a mutualism relation; pikmin get a safe place to go everynight and a source of where more pikmin can be released, the onion gets nutrients from the chrystalized pellets and from fallen prey that the pikmin bring and with the onion in control of the nutrients, it should absorb some fraction of the nutrients, and with differently colored pellets, their compisition differ with colors in materialistic structures that ditermine the pikin the onion releases. Each certain color of the pellets have different composite structures but while attached to the stem of the plant, the attached location has a special material that can determine whether it is a single color, or a special color changing pattern. It would make the most sense. Many creatures of this alian plannet exibit symbiotic relations with other species. Wow, that sounds like something Olimar would say.

:Another thought on my Candypop theroy. It's possible that Pikmin have the ability to draw in moisture and nutrients through their arms. Or, they wrap themselves up in a Flower Petal cocoon while they change form, like caterpillars. Their arms would grow like roots, and then they would emerge, bury themselves, and grow into a Candypop. They would then begin a gradual decline of awareness until they're caught up in nature, awakening only when a pikmin is tossed into one of it's flowers. For Candypop Pikmin would be eternally growing, getting new flowers, thus explaining the many candypop flowers. | :Another thought on my Candypop theroy.

I have a new idea on the Bulbmin. It mentions how Bulborbs are capable of a colony existance, like ants or bees. Now, logically, the ruler of the Bulborbs would be those bigger than them. Since the Pikmin have merged themselves with Bulborbs they pick up that trait and that's why they follow the big Bulbmin.
