Talk:Purple Pikmin

According to the game, a purple Pikmin weighs 10 grams, and a red bulbord weighs 10 grams. Is there any logical explainaton you guys can come up for this? Mine is that They don't really wheigh 10 grams, but the downward force they exert is 10 grams woorth, only when they are on a scale. Is this possibly plausible? Maybe some sort of chemical reaction? ocolor 17:03, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

How could a chemical reaction cause an increase in mass? Only if the air reacted too, but it would have to be (assuming that it is Earth) about 16.6dm³ of air (a cube of sides 25cm); and why would a Purple Pikmin react? ...That was really random.

The value in the article was added by an anonymous user, so I'll assume it unfounded and remove it. It has been calculated, however, that they can carry 10g, as 100 are required to carry the 1kg weight.GP
