Added a snippet on the Candypop Buds with a maximum Pikmin requirement. Thanks to Grassdigger asking me to check, we've learned that Pikmin sprouts don't count!

Violet Candypop Buds spit out [[Purple Pikmin|purple]] seeds when Pikmin are tossed in. This Candypop Bud makes its first appearance in ''Pikmin 2'', and is the only way to obtain Purple Pikmin. Many Violet Candypop Buds and Queen Candypop Buds can be found on sublevel 8 of the [[Subterranean Complex]], making it the ideal location for growing more Purple Pikmin. | Violet Candypop Buds spit out [[Purple Pikmin|purple]] seeds when Pikmin are tossed in.

{{todo|Check what happens if you bring 20 Purple Pikmin with you to the cave, but then one dies in the first sublevel -- will the next sublevels have the Candypop Buds?}} | |||
Some [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s and [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s will only appear if the player has less than 20 of the equivalent Pikmin type. If the player has 20 or more of that Pikmin type, the Candypop Bud will not spawn, and no other object will take its place. This can be seen, for instance, in the second sublevel of the [[Citadel of Spiders]]: the Violet Candypop Bud always appear in dead ends, and if the player is over the maximum Pikmin requirements, there will be an empty dead end in the sublevel. | |||
Interestingly, only the Pikmin inside the cave and the Pikmin inside the [[Hocotate ship]] count toward this limit. This means that Pikmin sprouts in an overworld [[area]], including the area the cave is in, will not count. | |||
The following sublevels have Candypop Buds that do not appear if the player has 20 or more of the equivalent Pikmin type: | |||
* [[Violet Candypop Bud]]: | |||
** [[Emergence Cave]], sublevel 2 | |||
** [[Frontier Cavern]], sublevel 1 | |||
** [[Hole of Beasts]], sublevel 2 | |||
** [[Citadel of Spiders]], sublevel 2 | |||
** [[Glutton's Kitchen]], sublevel 2 | |||
** [[Shower Room]], sublevel 2 | |||
* [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]: | |||
** [[White Flower Garden]], sublevel 3 | |||
Since the only Candypop Buds affected by this are in early sublevels, this limit likely exists to stop players from easily obtaining a large number of Purple Pikmin or White Pikmin by repeatedly entering and leaving the same cave. | |||
