Or we could just add to the name with a colon, for example "Pikmen: Followers of the Good Captain" or something like that.

"Pikmen" Forever!
I was actually just talking to Fanewgie (who has Brawl) about this. I asked him to go to the following stages, and record the amount of the colored Pikmin plucked: Norfair, Battlefield, Rumble Falls, Lylat Cruise, and the Summit. Out of 18 Pikmin, here was the outcome for each:

Norfair: 3 red, 5 yellow, 1 blue, 5 purple and 4 white.
Battlefield: 5 red, 4 yellow, 4 blue, 2 purple, and 3 white.
Rumble Falls: 4 red, 4 yellow, 4 blue, 3 purple, and 3 white.
Lylat Cruise: 3 red, 6 yellow, 3 blue, 4 purple and 2 white.
The Summit: 5 red, 4 yellow, 5 blue, 4 white, 0 purple

Fanewgie suggests that the probability is evened and random. Though, The Summit's report seems rather sensible. Don't know what to make of it at this point. I'm sure this will be looked further-into once the American version is released.
Ooh, finally SOME information on this. I just wish the Summit would give more purples and less red, but it is definitely good information overall!

While it's a good start, anyone who has taken statistics knows that this isn't enough data to truly reach a statistically significant result. You'd need to redo this at least 100 times to get worthwhile numbers.

Great start though.

This is too weird. You like Olimar, I like Olimar! You like Colverfield, I like Cloverfield! You like chimps in suits with guns, I like chimps in suits with guns! You weren't by any chance separated from your identical twin brother at birth too, were you?
I think soul-mates describes it better.

At birth? No, no. It was around the time when I was nine. It was a warm summer day. The tiger lillys and pansies were in full bloom. My brother (Jebadiah) and I were playing a wonderful game of pickup stick ball. I had just hit a grounder up the middle. My dog (Rosco Mc Acllistar) picked it up and gave it Jeb. He pitched one more. I hit it right on to the train tracks. The Train came rushing toward the spot where my brother and the rouge ball had lain. Rushing, rushing, the train came fast. I yelled for my brother to move. Then as the train had almost met it's mark........ Jeb got out of the way. A year later he joined the circus.

My dog at age nine was named Rosco Mac Acllistar, so it must be just a weird coincidence. Oh well. :ohwell:

Yeah, oh well. Sigh, I do miss Jeb. At least he has the bears on unicycles to keep him company.

So Olimar: Amazing or Super ultra megalo extreme awesome lizard shaman megalo again amazing. I might have to go with the latter.

I concur with the "Olimar is megalo shaman amazing lizard!" comment.

And bears on unicycles = awesome. Your brother is in good hands.

I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised how well Olimar has fared on the Character poll: http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=141091&page=40

1) Sonic: 132
2) Ike: 125
3) Lucario: 112
4) Wolf: 110
5) Pit: 107
6) PIKMIN & OLIMAR!!!: 103
7) Pokemon Trainer: 95
8) Marth: 81
9) King Dedede: 78
10) Link: 75

Not bad at all. But seeing as how he appears to be one of the harder characters to master, I wonder how those numbers will change after Brawl is actually released...

I definitely think, as well as hope, that the number of people for Pikmin and Olimar will change. People will probably see how hard he is and how bad his recovery is and be turned off by him.

Yes, as petty as it is for me to feel that way, I agree that I want the player count to go down for Olimar. It would make me more special :D

Add one to that count by the way, I voted for Peach by mistake and couldn't take it back, although I clearly support Olimar.

I sort of agree with you guys. I'm happy to see that such an awesome character get his due, but I'm not too keen on playing as an overused character. Fortunately, none of my friends in Saint John seem interested in maining Olimar. :)

Same here. And it seems Wario, ROB, Game and Watch, and Dedede (my 4 other mains) won't be too overused either.

Well Dedede seems pretty high up on that list too, I plan to secondary him. Of course people's opinions will change when the game comes out and they actually get a chance to play as the character and determine if they like or dislike the play style. That may either reduce the number of people wanting to main him or increase the number.

Uh...I've had the Pikmen banner for a long time now, I thought it was just another forum member that made it. So I guess I have been part of the Pikmen for quite a while!

Yay for the Captain!
Olimar Punch!
Olimar Kick!
Show me your Pikmin!
.................................................lol random.

I personally think "Pikmin Punch!!" sounds better. Anyway, Im getting off topic.

Ive been watching more videos, and Im being impressed more and more by his playstyle, and that he has a d-air spike, yay.

I'm still seeing no different in Pikmin pulled from certain terrain, although I did see lots of purple pikmin in a match on Delfino.

I have a feeling I'm going to love his spike.. a lot. I mained Marth so it'd be hard for me to go into Brawl without any spike. Hurrah for Olimar!

You win Squirtle's seal of approval.

:):007::)
Squirtle eh?.........

:):003::)
My Venasaur seal of approval uses Solarbeam on your Squirtle seal of approval. It's super effective!


Edit: I almost forgot to tell you. I am representing the Pikmen in the War of the Clubs comic. Wish me luck, boys!

You, and me both brother.

I added two more people to the list of members; I meant to add a few more, but it was too much work for me to handle with on the Wii. Speaking of which: my computer died, so don't expect me on much. Once it's fixed, I'm planning on changing how the Pikmen will be run.
