Counter glitch

A weird glitch I found in Pikmin 1. I don't think anyone else will get this, but I got it. It was weird, too. I was on Day 11 in The Distant Spring, and I took my blues out for a walk to find the Smoky Progg's Egg. I attacked it with my blues, and it did little damage. Then I waited a couple seconds, and it healed itself! That's not all, though. Then I attacked again. It shook a bit and opened! The Smoky Progg was born. Then I ran to the landing site and put my blues away and got out my reds. I waited for the Progg to come. But it didn't! So I went to the egg, and didn't see it, so I set back to see if my reds were ok (They were). And when I arrived, I saw the Progg lurking under the Red Onion! I attacked it, and it killed my Pikmin. But wait! The number of Pikmin overall on the field and the number of Pikmin in Olimar's command somehow switched places, so I ended up having more Pikmin in my command than on the field. And when my Pikmin died, the overall number of Pikmin stayed the same!
