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. I am rocky0718 and i PWN

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! I'm ~CrystalRedpikminsprite.jpgLucario~ And I approve this message.
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? —Jimbo Jambo
Wait, Olimar didn't say that...? Hmmm... wait but, it was on the artical somewhere, *Asplosion* I'm ~CrystalRedpikminsprite.jpgLucario~ And I approve this message.
I think somebody else tried adding it, several times. —Jimbo Jambo
I agree. it looks kind of sharp! Crab sprite.jpgEvilLouie13
Yeah Jj you're probably right... I have the memory and attention span of a rat... I'm ~LonelyRedpikminsprite.jpgTurret~ And I approve this message.

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. --Foutlet 01:17, 18 May 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.
