Up to 100 Pikmin can be outside at a time. This includes wild Pikmin of colors you haven't discovered yet.
Pikmin can get flowers in three main ways:Allowing Pikmin to stay in the ground for a long time eventually gives them flowers.Having Pikmin out in the field eventually causes flowers to sprout.Drinking sap immediately causes Pikmin's flowers to grow.Flower Pikmin are much faster than leaf or bud Pikmin, and will carry things faster.
Unlike the first Pikmin, Pikmin 2 does not involve a time limit. Thus, the game has a more relaxed pace than its predecessor.
The fastest time anyone has ever beaten Pikmin is nine in-game days.
No, they did not exist at that time. Only red, blue, and yellow Pikmin are available in the first Pikmin game. There are only white and purple Pikmin in Pikmin 2. They have no Onions, and can only be found by tossing any Pikmin into purple or white Candypop Buds. These flowers can only be found in underground caverns, which were not present in the original Pikmin. The flowers disappear after a certain amount of uses, and thus only certain amounts of purple and white Pikmin can be attained at one time.
As of November 2015, there are three Pikmin games available: the original Pikmin for Nintendo Gamecube, though another version is available for the Wii; Pikmin 2, also for Nintendo Gamecube and also with another version for the Wii; and Pikmin 3, exclusively for Wii U.There is also a Pikmin-based mini game called Pikmin Adventure in Nintendo Land for Wii U, and Captain Olimar, the main character for the first two games, is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with Alph, one of Pikmin 3's main characters, available as an alternate costume for Olimar.Pikmin 4 is currently in production and near completion, though nothing else is known as of yet.
Unknown, maybe working with seven different types of Pikmin at the same time would make the main story too complex.
Just keep defeating enemies and bringing them and pellets into the Onions, and you will eventually get 900 Pikmin. There is no practical reason for having this many Pikmin, though.
No there is not a Pikmin that will give you more or additional Pikmin.
Yes. Captain Olimar is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and he uses all five of the Pikmin that had been created at that time in his attacks. Red Pikmin cause fire damage, Yellow Pikmin cause electrical damage, Blue Pikmin cause regular damage, Purple Pikmin cause considerable damage, and White Pikmin cause poison damage.
No. White Pikmin made their first appearance in Pikmin 2.
Pikmin 3 is a real time strategy game, and will be the third game in the Pikmin series. So far, all we know is Olimar and Louie are gone, which Mr. Miyamoto said the reason was a secret, suggesting the story might have something to do with that, and then we have the new Rock pikmin, the five old pikmin, and the confirmed but unknown new pikmin later in the game. An unconfirmed pink pikmin can be seen briefly in the beginning and end of the trailer.
In Pikmin for the wii you need have a group of pikmin by you then press 1 and the pikmin will carry you back to their onion.
