The Pikmin Type Iceberg

you forgot to include that miyamoto wanted to originally call pikmin pikeman and make olimar say “pikes should take a hike” on the game cover

I remember playing Pikmin 6 in 2047. I'd always use the Luigi Pikmin against enemies and also played as the secret captain, Evil Olimar. Good times.

It's worth noting that while Rock and Ice Pikmin are parasitic, they are still part of the Pikminidae genus like the other core Pikmin types, while bulbmin are part of the Parasiticus genus.

I would like to note that whenever the Pikmin 3 concept art talks about "building" they are specifically referring to the bridge/pot building mechanic introduced in Pikmin 3. During early development the mechanic was a lot different and instead of carrying the bridge pieces to the location of the bridge like a line of ants, they would pick up the pieces and follow the captain around kinda like they did with bomb rocks.

I always thought the invisible pikmin in pikmin 1 were pikmin who became LOST MEDIA

My personal theory about candypop buds is that when a pikmin is left in the ground for too long they evolve into candypops

Reminded me of the old purple pikmin rumour in pikmin one somehow

I never actually paid attention that Rock and Ice Pikmin were the parasitic Pikmin using Rocks and Ice for defense, and that they were called Hermikmin! Thats really cool!

Glow Pikmin hate joke is funny

0:00 "one of the most famous things about Pikmin is the Pikmin" Thank you, I never could have guessed.

15:46 I’m sorry this entire thing can be taken out of context, and this is the funniest thing

My favorite moment in Pikmin was when I threw a red pikmin in a blue candypop bud. But then, Moss came by and said, “You’ll never be a blue pikmin.” Poor fella got wrecked by facts and logic.

the amount of Pikmin types that could have been and might be is amazing there are a lot more that I originally though I knew about some scrapped ones and all of the ones we can use in game but some of these I have never seen. I feel that before they even think of adding some of these they should try and balance the old Pikmin types the balancing in each game gets worse and worse I hate to think about how awfully balanced they will be in Pikmin 5. Also would love to see more ice burg videos like this an idea I would suggest is unused content for the Pikmin series like Bulbmin in Pikmin 3 yellow bulborbs in Pikmin 2 and that weird thing that spits rocks that is left in the code of Pikmin 1.

15:31 I think that this design is used in Pikmin bloom where you feed Pikmin different types of nectar and they get different flowers

I always thought pikmin was going for a child's first claymation aesthetic but Tim Burton's makes perfect sense. Gattling groinks design finally makes sense.

This is the best video I’ve ever seen like for real this video is so underrated but so amazing

Amazing video! I love Pikmin type talk! However you missed a few. - E3 2013 Beta Rock Pikmin - Winged Pikmin were originally Orange - The Ghost Pikmin that turns your team invisible in 2 player battles. - Golden PikPik Carrots

12:09 That Pikmin design looks quite similar to the icon used when your Pikmin are invisible in Pikmin 2's Battle Mode Also, I don't know if you take video ideas, but an cool idea this video gave me is the possibility of ranking every Pikmin's "best game" (ie, Purples being 2 and Rocks being 3, particularly 3 on the Wii U, since I've read they were nerfed in Deluxe. Idk if those are accurate, but those are just random examples.) Either way, great video!

Clickbait. Expected iceberg Pikmin as seen in the thumbnail.

Great video, the white hooded pikmin was a crazy concept!
