Overall uniqueness of the Pikmin?

[Banjodorf]

Today I sat wondering, "Will there be any difference in attack structure depending on which Pikmin he swings?" I thought about what each could do, and how it would change the fight.

Lets say for instance he picks up a Pikmin of each type, how would this change his attacks?

I thought of these.

Red - Medium fire damage upon impact

Yellow - Slight electrical damage (They are the only ones besides White Pikmin that to actually be made of or generate what theyre immune to, so I see this happening) as well as increased jump height.

Blue - Iffy. Possibly Ice damage, or immunity to fludd or less damage from fludd and squirtle?

Purple - No brainer - Heavy knockback with a swing
( I can see one strategy being send in 4 of the other kinds of Pikmin, grab the purple Pikmin, jump into the fray whle the other Pikmin attack the foe, and knock the hell out of the foe with the purple.)

White - Occasional Lips stick effect, given thats the closest thing to poison in the game right now.


I see this kind of thing working well for Olimar, and wold make him even more unique imo.

Tell me your thoughts on this

Maybe on Damage and knockback. I can imagine red and purple doing more damage than the others. I'm really curious about the white pikmin though.
