I'm going to point out it is A FISH on land (Or fish like) does it really matter where it gets its ammo? ~Crystal

Probably the same place it got the gun that fires said ammo. —Jimbo Jambo

Wait, don't things that are fish-like have to be in some small way comparable with fish...?G P

Errr... it's ugly like a fish...? ~Crystal

A start, at least...--Prezintenden

<Quote> Gatling Groink is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is a large biomechanical creature resembling a rotund goldfish with forward-facing eyes and what appears to be a windshield in between them, two legs, a mechanical tail, and a mouthplate which covers a cannon that fires mortar rounds. Aside from what can be observed, very little is known about this strange creature.</Unquote> There... ~CrystalLucario~ 11:28, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Random much? ~Crystal

Look, you guys, it's a "FISH TANK"! Get it? =D ---So sayeth LE the Creator. 16:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

The first time I thought this thing I was fighting two at a time in Subterranean Complex. I got destroyed but I won the fight and barely had enough Pikmin left to finish off the Man-at-Legs. Portal-Kombat

I lol'd at "fish tank." —Jimbo Jambo

Lulz, fish tank... I actually get the meaning of the joke! I'm ~Lonely Turret~ And I approve this message.

Nice joke, whats next? fish sniping towers? ;)

Dumb fish tank... kill all blues while in cave... no more blues left to get treasure out of water... -_- NIN10dude

Sped up glitch

that should be called The "Spaz Attack" Glitch. What? it happened to a snagret at night. (P.S, i left pikmin under the bridge that day and i was at the forest area.) I'm Redpikmin Flamethrower And I approve this message.

P.S.S, i think the gatling groinks in Pikmin 3 Should be under water and there should be gatling groink empresses (And larvae)I'm Redpikmin Flamethrower And I approve this message. Sorry!

Gatling Groink Empresses giving birth to Gatling Groink Larvae? NO THANKS :P (runs into bathroom to puke into toilet, opens lid and Ultimate Chimera jumps out of toilet AAAAAAAAAAAAAA game over) Portal-Kombat

I don't think having a underwater boss fight or a underwater arena would be such a good idea. Because the way the controls are now I think swimming would bring up some problems. Also I don't think throughing pikmin in water is even possible. maybe it would just be better too have an empress GG to be amphibious, with a watery arena. it'sa--76.67.5.111 20:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Death

When the Gatling Groink dies, he sort of explodes. Does that kill your Pikmin? Snake boss14

No the explosion doesn't kill or even harm your Pikmin.--Gamefreak75 22:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I never saw them killed, but the exlosion looked dangerous. Snake boss14

The explosion is always cool... I wonder how it comes back to life, maybe because it's biomechanichal it can repare any damage... Or maybe the explosion could be caused by a part of its body that ruptures when taking too much damage, this knocks it momentarely unconsious... hmmm... what do you guys think? it'sa-PK king Thats right, I'm back

Mmmmm, possibly the first one. Because after all it resembles a robot. Snake boss14

true,but I think it looks like some sort of frankonfish creation. Or a windup toy with some spare parts. it'sa PK king

Possibly. Snake boss14

New Play Control! differences?

I was playing Sniper Room some days ago when I observed an interesting fact: Pikmin which are in your squadron do not die. Is this also true for the GameCube version, or is it a modification/change? RandomYoshi^{Talk to me!} 10:56, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Marking ideas.

Maybe Nintendo could make a band called the Gatling Gronk Brothers?

Japanese Name

Current interpretation of "タマコキン" is "Ball Child Goldfish", but I think the interpretation of "タマ(玉, ball)" is wrong. There are many words which have same "タマ" pronunciation.

玉: Ball
弾: Bullet, or "エネルギー弾(energy projectile)"
珠: Orb
球: Sphere, but it usually pronounce as "キュウ", so this is definitely inappropriate.

According to this, I suggest "タマ(弾, bullet)", cause Gatling Groink is the enemy which spreads energy projectiles. PortableSunset (talk) 07:36, March 10, 2021 (EST)
