Yes and no. That is a real image, but you can't get them naturally in the game. The guy who took it used an Action Replay hacking device to change the default colors of all his Pikmin to black. —Jimbo Jambo

Oh that helped alot i just want to use black but you have to hack it.-crazy9090

Well, you're not missing too much. It's really just a change in their skin color, they don't gain any special powers. Although, if you want to try it anyway, you can always buy an Action Replay. You can probably find a fairly cheap one on Amazon or eBay. They also have one for $30 at Codejunkies.com. Aside from getting black Pikmin, you can probably find all sorts of neat codes online. —Jimbo Jambo

The Pikmin's Onion color also changes when these codes are activated, but nothing else happens. (As Jimbo Jambo stated). Me_just_in20:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
