Talk:Empress Bulblax: Difference between revisions

Maybe... Just maybe... depending on the environment the bulborb matures in depends on what bulborb speices the larva develope into such as the empress bulblax "poots" out the larva and it is in a plains area it becomes a red bulborb or in a forest area it could become an orange bulborb or a red bulborb ETC. it could all depend on environment, but that brings up the problem of how empress/emporoer (spelling?) bulblaxs are born, so maybe every now and then an empress/emporoer bulblaxs are born.

::It's certainly not unheard of for animals to completely change their sexes. As for the different types of Grub-dog, they're all supposedly different species (or subspecies in the case of Bulborbs), so Emperor Bulblaxes would be born from other Emperor Bulblaxes. Empress Bulblaxes on the other hand are just Bulborbs/Grub-dogs which have undergone changes due to environmental pressures and aren't really their own species, kind of like a queen ant, although it never said that Empress Bulblaxes were the center of ''all'' Grub-dog reproduction. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

:It doesn't say that Empresses are born into the position, or that certain select Bulborbs become Empresses upon reaching maturity like a queen ant would; only if there's a dramatic change in the environment, the largest female in the pack will "...temporarily take on the role of pack matriarch." That doesn't mean Empresses are the only breeding females. Also, despite what the name might lead you to believe, Emperor Bulblaxes aren't breeding male Bulborbs, they're a completely different species and are born from, of course, female Emperor Bulblaxes; the name is just a name, like emperor penguins. Also, I'm not sure what you're trying to say about sex changes. Only non-breeding males become females, and the rest, well, they continue breeding. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

::Well, an Emperor isn't going to shift species to become a Red Bulborb, but Olimar's use of the Grub-dog family name rather than the word Bulborb in the notes for the Empress Bulblax leaves open the possibility of there being Empress Emperor Bulblaxes. Even still, it would be really unlikely for a non-breeding male to become a female and then become an Empress because males only undergo sex changes in response to the same stimulus which causes an Empress to arise, meaning that there would already be a selected Empress by the time the males got around to shifting sexes. Er, know what I mean?... {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

::::Urgh. Well, break it up into two parts. An Empress Bulblax isn't just a female Emperor Bulblax, it's a Grub-dog (supposedly any kind of Grub-dog, although it would appear that we've only seen Red Bulborb Empresses) which has undergone some huge physiological change, so even if the Emperor Bulblax species does exhibit this kind of weird behavior, male Bulblaxes which have become females don't automatically become Empresses. The second part basically said that sex changes happen at about the same time, if not after, a Grub-dog has become an Empress, so any males which have become females that spontaneously grow into Empresses would be, well, redundant, since there already is one in the herd. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

:What are you talking about... the disscussion...? {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

::The thought of an empress Emperor Bulblax. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

::::Mkay... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

Well... I can imagine that some bulborbs are not quite seperate species but focused on doing something, for example, the queen ant isnt the same as a standard ant but not a different species either, not to mention colony guards and workers, and if you still dont understand, queen bees are focused on breeding but still have a stinger, but the stinger isnt barbed, but that doesnt make it an entirely different species, drones focus on mating with the queen, after that they die(lifes little tid-bits), and then worker bees may be all female but are still the same species as the queen but have a barbed stinger.--[[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 00:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Why Blue Pikmin? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:No, because you can get Blue Pikmin when you want and then fight Beady, for example, or Empress Bulblax. Enemies just get tougher depending on which area and cave they are in. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

So basically, any thing on the last level of a cave before blue pikmin is classified as a boss? <span style="color:red;">Bk</span><span style="color:green;">archer</span><span style="color:blue;">97</span> 17:35, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

:Have you heard the boss music? Well, let me tell you that every enemy in the game that is fought with that music (or its own music) is a boss. And please don't tell me that Man-at-Legs or Segmented Crawbster are minibosses, as you can fight them without blues.  {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:OK, OK, I get it. However, you can still discover blues first and then enter the holes... {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

Snakeboss, I think MewFan128 meant BEFORE you discover blues in the OFFICIAL storyline. <span style="color:red;">Bk</span><span style="color:green;">archer</span><span style="color:blue;">97</span> 17:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Yep.That's it. Is what MewFan saying, really that confusing, Snakeboss? No offense, but I got what he said. And I think the Empress Bulblax is a mini-boss. For me, anything that appears multiple times is a mini-boss. And YES, including the Emperor Bulblax-he's easier in Pikmin 2-but I class him as a boss in Pikmin 1. Beady Long Legs, Burrowing Snagret, Emperor Bullblax, Empress Bulblax and Giant Breadbug are mini-bosses, 1. they appear a few times and 2. they're really easy--[[User:BeatOli|BeatOli]] 17:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[[File:Funny-1.gif]][[User:BeatOli|BeatOli]]

Who wants to talk about this......? there just easy to defeat.and they don't eat you.--[[User:Pikmin fan 101|Pikmin fan 101]] 19:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)pikmin fan 101[[File:PIKMIN 101.jpg]]

:Oh, no, I understood what MewFan128 was trying to tell me, I was just being stubborn. Now that I think of it, BeatOli clarified some things and I support the idea of a mini-boss, though it is still more powerful than the Emperor Bulblaxes, Beady and Giant Breadbug. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:Mmmm, no, the enemies are all right. I say it's the player. I hardly lose any Pikmin, but my brother has a really hard time killing Bulborbs. And I'm sorry to say that I beat Pikmin 1 with a walkthough that I watched some months before I got the game without knowing I would. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}
