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?

Uh, to get this straight: If the atoms of a Purple Pikmin where to be that dense, it's size would shrink (considering it was a simple Red Pikmin before thrown into a candypop). It's the same with black holes. The're smaller than our sun (I think), but have far stronger gravity. And GP wasn't reffering to you as a Anonymous user, instead the person who wrote the weighth. Still, this does confuse me. I think what you said at Talk:Weight and Strength was on the right track. Just because it say "10" doesn't have to mean that this is grams or a other general mesuring unit.--[[User:Prezintenden|<b><span style="color:Gray">Prezintenden</span></b>]]<sub>[[User talk:Prezintenden|<span style="color:orange">(babble)</span>]]</sub> | Uh, to get this straight: If the atoms of a Purple Pikmin where to be that dense, it's size would shrink (considering it was a simple Red Pikmin before thrown into a candypop).

:I guess it was guessed. | :I guess it was guessed. But Blue Pikmin can throw Purple Pikmin out of the water, lifting 10g, so that kind of kills the whole thing. I really have no idea. | ||
:I get what you're trying to explain with the density stuff now: why the Purple Pikmin weigh the same amount as Red Bulborbs. | :I get what you're trying to explain with the density stuff now: why the Purple Pikmin weigh the same amount as Red Bulborbs. Firstly, I have no idea where that came from. Secondly, if true, it could so easily be that Red Bulborbs have huge stomachs where there is nothing; and a 'superdense atom' is not really relevant, as density is usually determined by how spaced out atoms are due to the intermolecular bond types and quantities. For example, ice not dense because there are Hydrogen bonds, which are longer, spacing the atoms out, increasing volume with constant mass. | ||
:...yeah. | :...yeah. That's really not relevant.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | ||
The more isotopes of an atom, the denser it is, regardless of density (or some other subatomic particle). This can be shown be liquid metal, Mercury weighs much more than water at the same density and mass. Also, hmmm. A Purple Pikmin weighs 10x more than a regular Pikmin. A Pikmin carries AT LEAST ten times its weight (if a blue weighs 1 and a purp weighs 10 and a blue can pick up a purp,) so the weight unit of carrying an object= 1 Purple Pikmin minumun or .1 Pikmin minimum. So, a Reb Bulborb weighs as much as 10 Purple Pikmin or 100 Regular Pikmin minimum. That makes more sense. SO, the unit for measuring how much 1 carrying weight is would be ≥ 10 Pikmin weight. | The more isotopes of an atom, the denser it is, regardless of density (or some other subatomic particle).

So, a treasure requring 1 Pikmin to pick up is as heavy as 10 Pikmin. Maybe Pikmin are very LIGHT, as they weigh 1/10 of a four leafed clover. A scale unit ( a pikmin on a scale) is 1 Pikmin unit, Or 1 PMU. The weight of 1 carry weight (carrying a carcass or treausre) is 10≤ PMU. The stenght of a pikmin is 10≤ PMU. easy!

:By the way, what you said about density at the start makes no sense... | :By the way, what you said about density at the start makes no sense... Anyway, that makes sense, but shouldn't be used in the articles as it'd be confusing and unnecessary. Just use numbers without units as in the game, an undefined, relative scale. But this applies only to Pikmin weight: the weight of beasts is known calculated using Doomsday Apparatus = 1kg, Purples lift 10g, others 1g, so Red Bulborbs weigh 10g, but there is no comparison anywhere with Pikmin weights.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | ||
But, alas, I have found a way to relate Pikmin weight to the carry weight of an object. A pikmin weighs .1 grams or less, 1 gram assuming that A blue Pikmin's maximum amount to carry is a purple, b/c if a blue can pick up both a purple and 1 gram, and a blue pik is 1/10 the weight of a purp, and therefore a purp weighs 1 gram, then yah.[[User:IAMAHIPO ocolor|ocolor]] 01:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC) | But, alas, I have found a way to relate Pikmin weight to the carry weight of an object.

:I don't think the Blue Pikmin being able to pick up Purples would have been considered in their weights. | :I don't think the Blue Pikmin being able to pick up Purples would have been considered in their weights. It just happens... Either way, that's still a maximum, and not worth putting on the articles.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | ||
Just to summarize: The weight a Pikmin can carry is assumed to be a gram because of the [[Doomsday Apparatus]] treasure. The "1k" label refers to the relative number of Pikmin required to carry it, but it can also be taken to mean one kilogram, or 1,000 grams. Since it takes 100 Purples to lift a 1,000 gram object, each one would have to carry 10 grams, and since each Purple is 10 times as strong as a normal Pikmin, all other Pikmin would be able to carry a maximum of one gram. Also, since Blue Pikmin are not only able to lift Purple Pikmin, but toss them out of the water, Purples must weigh one gram or less, making the weight of normal Pikmin equal to or less than a tenth of a gram, ultimately meaning that Pikmin can carry ten times (or more) their weight, which isn't at all strange for an animal of their size. | Just to summarize: The weight a Pikmin can carry is assumed to be a gram because of the [[Doomsday Apparatus]] treasure.

:"Balance" is kind of misplaced here. You can lift the Plentiful Tank by cramming all the Pikmin onto one side; if real physics would apply at this point, the thing would just topple over. You can get this to an extreme by putting one or two Pikmin on the same side of the Invigorator (not sure how heavy it is). Sadly, the games dynamics can kill most of the theories.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}} | :"Balance" is kind of misplaced here.

It's still a game. | It's still a game. If nothing is certain and there are so many unexplainable discrepancies, then maybe we should just get rid of the grammes for treasures' weights and use arbitrary Pikmin units instead.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | ||
So, couldn't we just make up a weight(like "pikin" or something) and use that?

Pikmin weights had a unit, just no exact value. Pikmin were ≤0.1 grams, while Purples were ≤1 gram. The whole gram system kind of fell apart though. Might just be best, and probably less confusing, to remove the gram units from the treasure, ship part, and beast templates, but keep the weight values on the individual articles. | Pikmin weights had a unit, just no exact value.
