These ones do have noses, so i suppose that is a question worth thinking about next week or something... But, if any can, they all can, or... *Head asplodes*. to many theroum to evaluate. compute. compute. Overload. {{User:rocky0718/sig2}}

:The nose isn't a nose it is a weapon, plants can't smell, or taste... or see, hear, probably can't feel, I'm gonna go watch mythbusters in a while yay. I like vanilla. NO NON-SEQUITOR ATTACK!

:Smell like we smell, or just smell as in picking up chemical information from the environment? I think people have proposed before that Pikmin communicate with chemical signals, and while there isn't actually any hard evidence to suggest this, I wouldn't put it past them. If they were to be able to smell like we do though, they would need lungs for a start, and I'm not sure they have them. Also, Crystal, speculating a bit much about the nose being a weapon, aren't you? {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

::Wait, Olimar didn't say that...? Hmmm... wait but, it was on the artical somewhere, *Asplosion* '''I'm''' [[User:Crystal_lucario|<b><span style="color:Blue">~Crystal</span></b>]][[Image:Redpikminsprite.jpg]]<b>[[User talk:Crystal_lucario|<span style="color:Black">Lucario~</span>]]</b> '''And I approve this message.'''

:::I think somebody else tried adding it, several times. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

::::I agree. it looks kind of sharp! {{User:EvilLouie13/sig.}}

:::::Yeah Jj you're probably right... I have the memory and attention span of a rat... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

== its not a nose.... it just hapens to look like one ==

crystal is on to something there but to put it in more proper terms the "nose" is not a "nose" rather it is a thorn. the pikmin would still be able to pick up chemical senses but it would just be through a different area and no you don't need lungs to pick up chemical signals.

this would explain why red pikmin do more damage. furthermore i would even venture to guess that it might have something to do with their immunity to fire. --[[User:Foutlet|Foutlet]] 01:17, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

:No it isn't... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

May well not be a nose; it's just what people call it 'cause it's where our noses are.  But there's nothing to say it is or isn't (unless Olimar made a note on it?  If so, who knows if he's right?).  Doubt it's related to immunity to fire; it's just a pointy thing on their faces.  That's likely related to their skin/whatever it is they have.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

I think it's a thorn to, and the extra damage comes from them stabbing the enemy their on with that thorn.

:I was thinking it was more of a thorn or other sharp object than a nose.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}} 02:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== On the topic of lungs ==

They can drown, yes? and blues survive with gills yes? water not being through skin, as roots-the blues would need all-over gills. They'd drown too, perhaps?
Other Pikmin can go through water a bit, so long as it it shallow yes? And whistling saves. So yes, lungs are there.

== Attack Power ==
How much attack power do red pikmin have? About 1.5 or 2 times the attack of a yellow, blue or white pikmin? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:1.5.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::Thanks. And purples? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:::2.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::::They look much more powerful. I suppose it is because they deal more damage when you throw them, or if not, the squashing sound, earthquake and stunning. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:::::Yeah, the stun and damage they deal on landing really increases their overall effectiveness.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::::::Interstingly enough, I don't think it goes for enemies, but [[White Pikmin]] are faster at cutting down [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] than yellow or blue Pikmin. They simply attack faster, and each attack iss equal to a blue or yellow Pikmin. I wonder if they attack enemies faster though... {{User:IAMAHIPO ocolor/sig}} 08:44, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I couldn't try the pellets thing, but I don't think they attack any different than a blue or a yellow. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

== It is a nose ==

I just played a new file of Pikmin a few days ago, and yes, it is officially a nose. [[The Ship]] said so. I can't remember exactly when, but it is early in the game. If you want to see it for yourself, make sure you haven't discovered White Pikmin yet.[[User:Falcoz|Falcoz]] 06:09, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

:Speculation... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

whatever...[[User:Falcoz|Falcoz]] 19:46, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

:Indeed {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

Yeah, the ship's speculating.  (Not sarcasm, BTW.){{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
