Winged Pikmin

Pink Pikmin are a new type of pikmin featured in Pikmin 3. They were only seen during Nintendo's E3 2012 press conference and during the game's trailer. Not much is known about them at this point, but they can fly using small wings, have strikingly large heads topped with a violet flower, appear to be smaller than most Pikmin, and appear to have two bushy, violet antennae above where their eyes should be. Due to being present only in the trailer, it is assumed that Pink Pikmin and their gameplay uses will be "officially" revealed at a later date. It's also possible that Pink Pikmin are merely a decoration in the scenery. Two of them can also be seen faintly at the very start, in the backround along with 3 red pikmin.

A woman at the E3 showfloor was providing information on Pikmin 3, and was confronted about the Pink Pikmin. She stated that she was not permitted to confirm or deny their appearance in the game, but that there will be more new Pikmin other than the Rock Pikmin, which will be announced and shown at a later date.

Trivia

• In the Good Ending of the original Pikmin game, several multi-colored onions were seen flying high up in the planet's atmosphere. Interestingly, five of these onions were pink.
