==Weight==
According to the game, a purple Pikmin weighs 10 grams, and a red bulbord weighs 10 grams. Is there any logical explainaton you guys can come up for this? Mine is that They don't really wheigh 10 grams, but the downward force they exert is 10 grams woorth, only when they are on a scale. Is this possibly plausible? Maybe some sort of chemical reaction?

Whu do we assume that pikmin weigh one gram? Ants can lift 10x their own so maybe pikmin weigh less.

:We stopped using grams as the unit of weight because in-game values and real-world values just didn't add up. Also, I think we did come to the conclusion that Pikmin can lift at least ten times their own weight, meaning that normal Pikmin weight around a tenth of a unit and Purple Pikmin weight about one. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

Guys, what you're not comprehending is that there are two separate weights, one for Pikmin, and one for treasures. i.e., the scales and the treasure weights are completely different units.

:I saw the notes you took on your page. Seems convincing, but I have to ask: how did you test this? In a normal playthrough, Pikmin trip like once every hour. Did you just play for 50 hours straight or what? You should elaborate on these details, so that others can decide if the experiment is biased or not, and so that they can recreate it if they want to. I'm not saying I don't trust your result or skills. I'm actually pretty excited we can get closure on this. I just mean that, in order to get a convincing answer, we have to make sure that the experiments run aren't missing anything. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:17, 16 October 2016 (EDT)

Purple Pikmin are so cute

Wahhhh.
I bet they will appear in Pikmin 4 white Pikmin too
Right?-CaptianOlimar321
::If you want to speculate about Pikmin 4, please do it somewhere that isn't this wiki. There's a Discord for that. -[[User:Gulliblepikmin|Gulliblepikmin]] 01:32, December 12, 2022 (EST)
== Weird sentence ==
The article says "These Pikmin possess the strange ability to anchor extra-dimensional entities such as the [[Waterwraith]] to the current dimension for a brief period due to the gravitational waves that are emitted when they are thrown." Is there any source for any of this? The Pikmin Garden Piklopedia just says the Waterwraith becomes purple and opaque after a strong impact, so to describe it as some strange trait of the Purple Pikmin doesn't seem right. [[User:2 B|2 B]] ([[User talk:2 B|talk]]) 08:24, December 12, 2023 (EST)
:This looks like a synthesis of two different statements. Olimar's Piklopedia notes for Purple Pikmin say that their impact creates gravitational waves that warp spacetime. His voyage log for the Waterwraith says that it might show itself if you hit it with a gravitational wave. Combining these notes, the above seems like a correct conclusion. I'm in favor of keeping it. [[User:CortexCPU242|CortexCPU242]] ([[User talk:CortexCPU242|talk]]) 09:41, December 12, 2023 (EST)
