nah, that's not it. It's random. you'd begin to see patterns in the pikmen you pluck if that were true.Has anyone ever tried to test time (in seconds) as a possible factor for which Pikmin you pluck? If it is, then it may be possible to selectively pluck Pikmin. Just a guess though.
Well, in actuality, computers are unable to be random, they always arrive at numbers through some algorithm or something, and so there will always be a pattern in which Pikmin are plucked. The pattern is probably spread across each set of Pikmin plucked to some very large number.nah, that's not it. It's random. you'd begin to see patterns in the pikmen you pluck if that were true.
stop getting super technical, what he meant by "completely random" is that the pluck type isn't affected by actual game factors (terrain, location, opponent, stage, etc) but instead by non-game factors (in-game clock, combined length of all names in the system, etc)Well, in actuality, computers are unable to be random, they always arrive at numbers through some algorithm or something, and so there will always be a pattern in which Pikmin are plucked.

Maybe the conditions for which Pikmin is plucked is something that's based on terrain + opponnent + current time + sound card noise + random seed generator + some other complex factors. If I get a Wii and this game, this would be something I would look into...
Of course, though, if the pattern is in fact that ridiculously complex, then there's no way this would be applicable. I'm just curious.
So the stage in which you pluck your pikmin does affect what kind of pikmin you get?I've tested it on Smashville, Battlefield, and Yoshi's Island. There have also been tests on Final Destination.
They have concluded (thus far) that the percent of plucking is:
23.3% for red, yellow, and blue.
15% for white and purple.
So far no, the picking rate has been the same.So the stage in which you pluck your pikmin does affect what kind of pikmin you get?
Offtopic- keeper, your daft punk siggy is awesome
exactly what i meant. I don't think players can predict when to pluck to get certain pikmen.what he meant by "completely random" is that the pluck type isn't affected by actual game factors (terrain, location, opponent, stage, etc) but instead by non-game factors (in-game clock, combined length of all names in the system, etc)
