Pikmin family: Difference between revisions

Pikmin extinction occurs when every last Pikmin is lost. A partial extinction occurs when every Pikmin of a type is lost, while a total extinction occurs when ''all'' Pikmin are lost. How this circumstance is handled depends on the game: in the first two installments, a total extinction will end the day immediately and prompt the Onions to produce new seeds the next day, while in {{p3}}, the Onion will produce a seed of the extinct type immediately after the last member's death. In {{p2}}, White and Purple Pikmin do not trigger partial extinction checks, primarily because of their [[Candypop family|unique method of propagation]], and lack of Onions.
