[[Pikmin]] live in pods called [[Onions]], which bear similar resemblances to the earthly vegetable, which Olimar named after for the Hocotatian onions. Each onion is a specific color; red, blue, and yellow, are the most well known Pikmin Onions. Each Onion is home to the Pikmin of the same color, and those Pikmin will never enter a foreign colored Onion. Onions propagate more Pikmin by having them carry the carcasses of dead creatures or by carrying [[Pellet|pellets]] to the Onions. | |||
The number of Pikmin that are allowed on the field is 100. This is due to limit the processor load of the Gamecube's CPU, and to make the game more challenging. Why this limit exists, however, is not explained in the game itself. It is merely [[Ship's Log|noted]] by Olimar, and he himself may possibly not know why. | The number of Pikmin that are allowed on the field is 100.
