Pikmin family: Difference between revisions
If the player first calls Pikmin from the Onion, and only then plucks, then that sentence is incorrect. There's no fancy way to reword it to keep this in mind, so I just removed the sentence.

In the case of ''Pikmin 2'', this scenario happens when a cave sublevel is entered, when the player exits a cave and lands on an overworld area along with the Pikmin that escaped, or when the player enters an area that already has buried Pikmin. The Pikmin here are all truly loaded outside of the player's control. The game does however follow an algorithm to decide how to place Pikmin in the area and to fill in the Pikmin list slots: | In the case of ''Pikmin 2'', this scenario happens when a cave sublevel is entered, when the player exits a cave and lands on an overworld area along with the Pikmin that escaped, or when the player enters an area that already has buried Pikmin.
