Wild Pikmin: Difference between revisions

It is unknown how these Pikmin were propagated but several possibilities are implied, such as [[Olimar]] and/or [[Louie]] having previously visited the area and may have left them behind, or that Pikmin have learned to become self-sufficient. There are also certain [[Sprout#Pikmin seed|events]] which can naturally produce a seed as well as [[Smoky Progg|creatures]] able to uproot the sprouts.  All games' versions of [[Challenge Mode]] either start the player with a set number of Pikmin or sprouts available to pluck, but these are not counted here as they are not part of any game's main Pikmin count.

Wild Pikmin are never encountered in ''Pikmin'' as all 3 Onions in the game initially sit dormant and must be activated before the first Pikmin seed is produced. However, the good [[ending]] of the game implies that wild Pikmin become more common as they are able to fend for themselves thanks to [[Olimar]]'s leadership.
