| Are the different colours sub-species or separate species of the same family? I would have thought separate species which mean an article title like Pikmin (family) or preferably just Pikmin would be more suited to the page. [[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 01:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

| :I second that. I think this page should go the way of the [[Breadbug Family]]. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

| ::I never really thought of this like a family of creatures before, but I suppose it is. I think it should be moved to Pikmin Family too.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

| :::I might not have either were it not for the Bulbmin's notes. By the way, sorry about the Red Pikmin thing. I didn't read your revision and I thought "Above Average" was another result of two years of the page being edited by the general public that was just copied into the template. Weird things can get written under those circumstances. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

| The other species article (since deleted) had things added from the above page. Those were competition entries DO NOT add them here. I've only posed the link here because it's fun to read. [[User:Discordance|Discordance]] 18:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

| I don't think the species names of the Pikmin are entirely accurate. I checked both games' in-game text, both manuals, the official Pikmin site, and never found scientific names listed. Google searches just came up with encyclopedia pages similar to this, just with somewhat less credibility. Whoever came up with the names probably just took the scientific names of [[Candypop Bud]]s and changed the genus name to ''Pikminicus''. I hate to be a spoil sport, but if the names don't come from an official source, they probably shouldn't be listed on the pages... {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

| | |
| :No, your right. These are made-up names. I rather ignored it, since they would most likely be the name given to the Pikmin if they would have them. Momentarily, I see no reason to keep this.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

| Actually, the scientific name for a [[Bulbmin]] is '''''Pariteus''' Pikminicus'',

| :Actually what? We know the scientific name of Bulbmin already, but it doesn't tell us anything about the names of the colored Pikmin. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}
| |

| :A scientific name is a combontation of something's ''genus'' name (generic name) followed by its ''species'' name (specific name). ''Pariciticus'' is the Bulbmin's generic name, where ''pikminicus'' is its specific name. [[Wikipedia:Scientific classification|Scientific classification]] works kind of like a tree, where the ''species'' would be the tip of the branch. To put it into perspective, humans (''Homo sapiens'') are in the same family as orangutans (''Pongo pygmaeus'' and ''P. abelii''), gorillas (''Gorilla gorilla'' and ''G. beringei''), and our closest relatives, chimpanzees (''Pan troglodytes'' and ''P. paniscus''), but of course have different scientific names, since we don't belong to the same genus. You're right, though, it's very possible that the colored Pikmin have "pikminicus" in their scientific names (they could all even have the same specific name if they belonged to different genuses), but we can't say anything of the sort until they're named by an official source. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} (By the way, be sure to click the link. You sound like you're into this kind of stuff, and where better to start than scientific classification?)

| First of all, I don't beleive in evolution from apes. That kind of offended me. Second, oh, I just got them mixed up. Big deal, MARIO ROCKS! LUIGI ROCKS! MARIO, LUIGI, AND PIKMIN ROCK MORE!

| :''since we don't belong to the same genus''
| |
| | |
| Yeah... He (I assume from the name?) never said we evolved from apes. However, it is most likely that both apes and humans have the same ancestors from which we and they descend from.
| |
| | |
| Also, I am most certain that it is ''Parasiticus''. Unlike ''Pariteus'', it really is a Latin word.

| What's up with your "personal comments/quotes" anyway? I'd find it best if you would show your, uh, ''passion'' on your own page.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

| Once again, I don't think that i'm allowed to state what I beleive in in case it offends other users, but let's just say that I don't beleive in us being even close to monkeys, apes, ect. Also, that was the first personal quote i've made here.[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[Image:Yoshi's Crunch.jpg|30px]] 21:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

| :What, are you a creationist or something? Why on earth would stating so offend someone? I'm actually amazed that what I said offended you as if it were racist or something. You don't ''have'' to believe in common ancestors, but it's a bit surprising that you're trying to argue anything on this page when the entire classification system being used is based on common ancestry. Even if you don't like the idea of us being related to other animals, humans are still classified as being a part of the same family, so it's a valid example. ...And Prez wasn't scolding you or anything, talk pages are for personal comments, but what you said wasn't related at all. I could say "I LIKE GARLIC ON PASTA," but that doesn't contribute to the discussion. It's just kind of...weird. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

| That depends, is a Creationist a person who beleives in one God who rules the world with truth and grace and sent Jesus down to die for us and made the world and-[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[Image:Yoshi's Crunch.jpg|30px]] 21:56, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

| Look it up. Creationists believe, in a nutshell, that God created all life-forms in the beginning exactly as they are today, whereas evolutionists believe that life changed and adapted to different environments over time. You can believe in God ''and'' evolution, and you can believe in creationism without God. It has nothing to do with Jesus or grace, just with genesis. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

| hey people, not trying to be picky but isnt pikmin both singular and plurle? i mean when you say "pikmins", dose it realy sound right?[[User:Rocky0718|Rocky0718]] 00:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)rocky0718[[User:Rocky0718|Rocky0718]] 00:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :It is, but in that case it was both plural ''and'' possessive. I dunno though, you're still right. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}
