Forum:Strange Onion combining in Pikmin 3

i always wondered why they made the onions at the end of the day form together to make a multi-colored onion in Pikmin 3, i also wondered why they made these "tenticle thingies replace the legs of the onion in Pikmin and Pikmin 2" leave a comment on my page if you agree.

 * Well, on a gameplay note, I guess that it would be for efficiency. This kind of thing was already seen in Pikmin 2, however; remember how you would get Purple and White Pikmin from the Ship? Also, Pikmin 3 seems to have redesigned graphics which are noticeably more cartoonish. The stilt-like legs of the original Onions went well with the first two games' more realistic style, but a rounder, more curved design works better and is softer on the eye inPikmin 3.


 * Since you've got five Pikmin types, you'd have five Onions in your landing site, which would be a lot. So Nintendo made it "simpler" by merging it into one big Onion... though this causes problems when you're trying to make Pikmin of one type. And about the tentacle-like legs, they kinda look like roots. I guess it's just a graphics redesign.
