When Pikmin gets a movie, this video might be what either Dreamworks or Illumination use for information on how they can implement toilet humor into the movies. The would probably have Louie go inside an Onion for a toilet gag (Illumination made the minions, creatures with slapstick humor and are destructive as a group (sort of like Pikmin), and the Nintendo parks have Pikmin cameos, so Universal definitely have Pikmin plans).
Honestly did not expect this video to be as "Game Theory"-esque as it did (by that I mean taking actual scientific information and applying it to a funny videogame question)
I know it doesn't really fit the flow of the video but there's actually real world precedent for animals taking on plant traits. The green sea slug can photosynthesise after essentially kidnapping and assimilating photosynthesising organelles and genes. So ants with this adaptation would be a plausible explanation.
I suddenly came to the realization that when the Pikmin themselves say "Pikmin" they're basically acknowledging the name that Olimar gave to their species, these plant fellas are smart
As a Biologist who's favourite video game is Pikmin 4, I LOVE how this video deeply connects with my interests. I'd like to comment my take on what type of organisms Pikmin are: As long as Olimar statement is true and they did evolve from the roots of a plant, that should be definitive proof that they belong to the plant kingdom. What I would theorize here is that the "neural networks similar to those of a brain" could be an extreme case of convergent evolution, with plants evolving so heavily that they developed a new system of its own similar to animals, but with a completely different evolutionary origin (this phenomenon is seen for example with insect wings compared to bird wings). Also, plants sweating is kinda common tbh. The issue here is that a change so deep seems pretty rare in nature and considering how different each Pikmin type is to one another, the evolutionary process of these beings just seems crazy. What if an ancient advanced species helped the Pikmin evolve, like how humans manipulated watermelons? (yeah ancient watermelons are creepy) or what if it was something like a punctual mutation that somehow didn't get the species killed? (beacuse of... radiation?? idk) I really don't want to start a theory on a youtube comment lol. Awesome video!! 🌸🌿🍃🌼🌱
I never played or watched Pikmin but the idea of some ancient aliens on Pikmin planet selectively breeding them is terrifying. What purpose did they do it for. Did they eat Pikmin? Where did they go?
@@LimeRaven I mean the planet is Earth, so the obvious suggestion is that they were engineered by humans. Furthermore, the house in Pikmin 4 is far too intact for it to have been uninhabited for more than a few years...
By pointing out the lack of obvious orifices, you've got me thinking... No not that! Even without mouths, Pikmin still manage to vocalise somehow 🤔 Does their jabbering and even screaming occur entirely inside their bodies? Am I just imagining that they sound kinda muffled now because of that thought, or was that always the case?
In the Pikmin shorts they almost have like, a squeaky toy element to their voices! It's very bizarre. Although, still haven't entirely ruled out all orifices 👀 We could have a musical toot situation on our hands 😧
The mourning dove makes a squeaking sound when it flies, but it’s not a vocalization, it comes from how the wings move and the bones. So maybe when the Pikmin run fast, their bodies make that hmmm hmmm?
Congrats on the collab! I will forever see Pikmin as Plant Ants from now on lol I cant unsee it! Great job foreshadowing/priming with Formicidae and tying it back to ants in the end. As for the plant facts, I dig it!
Gives me early Game Theory vibes and I mean that in a good way. Great job taking a silly video game themed concept and tricking me into learning stuff about the real world!
Maybe pikmin are insects with a sybiotic relationship with the onion. They have plant bits growing from them like the cordyceps fungus but in a mutually beneficial way for both organisms. The pikmin insects get a safe place to live, and the ability to photosynthesize, and the onion is cared for by the pikmin.
This is such a fun video and the level of research here to teach us all about these lil guys is amazing. Shout out AV and Schaffrillad Porductions for their hard work on this! I loved the "oh noses" lol
An important functionnof stomata is to serve as an output of water vapor, as it keeps xilem flowing. A lot of the water scapes through stomata, to the point that a big group of plants can create whole clouds and rains, so it would not be a surprise if the water droplet produced as an excess of digesting nectar would be absorbed in order to hidrate the body and to scape through the stomata for xilem flow purposes. What an amazing video and colab, btw. I totally did not expect it and I loved it!
One point I feel needs to be brought up is that in Pikmin 2 you can see they have skeletons when they get electrocuted, which implies that they are absolutely not plants because plants don't have bones
Ah, this is the third video I'm watching from this channel, and I can start to understand the underlying educational aspect. Applause, I think it's a really good job, especially for the kids that are currently in or around "first basic biology class" age
This is why I love this game series, so much thought goes into each and every creature and how they function which I havent seen any other game do! I LOVE IT
The Onions could be considered a type of myrmecophyte plant which evolves in a way to have cosymbiotic relationship with small colony insects often wasps or ants by creating housing and a food source. The ants or wasps protect the plant from predators of the plant and may produce nectar in return. Good examples are whistling acacias which house ants inside their branches in bulbs to protect them from giraffes. Some species of figs (luckily the common ones aren't) are pollinated by wasps that live in their flowers and fruit. The frass the ants make also serve as fertilizer to some plant species which could lead creedence to the poop inside the onion theory LOL.
Wait, hear me out! If Butterflies leave behind a mist when they fly... Look at what happens when you throw a Pikmin! They leave behind a trail of something sparkly... like maybe water particles that sparkle in the sun? So they pee every time you throw them!
I NEED more scientific breakdowns in my fictional content. Like this scratches an itch in my brain I didn’t know I had Also shout out to the Pikmin writers for making it so realistic
I love Pikmin and they are by far my favorite example of alien evolution through analogies we can understand. Plants already move a fair bit as it is, but Pikmin move around a lot more than plants, and while they have convergently evolved plenty of traits that animals have, its implied that they didn't just evolve them, but stole fragments of genetic code from creatures fed to the onion to develop new traits on the Pikmin themselves. They're not animals, they're not plants, they are truly something in between
I'm sorry but the thought of dozens of Pikmin collectively evacuating their bowels in relief the minute they get back in their onion at the end of the day is the funniest visual to me
The Piklopedia has always been one of my favorite things about the Pikmin series, besides its gameplay. It’s so cool to see a fictional ecosystem analyzed in a semi-realistic manner.
So for a time I was served a lot of silk moth Shorts on YT and they had frequently inadvertently covered themselves in poop before they were cut out of their cocoon. 10:45
@@goombanna So after your response I looked into it more because I wondered what on Earth I'd seen silk moths doing if it's not pooping. Firstly I couldn't find a straight answer because it was kinda like yeah no they don't poop, but he's a video of them pooping. I *think* as a moth they kinda do one final poop if you can call it that, a "gut dump", but actually they're ejecting their digestive system because they don't need it anymore?? Gross and interesting, but of course if you're filming and they do that on or in front of you - you say "Ew poop" and not "Ew guts", hence my confusion 😅 Thanks for inspiring a journey I didn't think I would go on haha.
Writing this before watching the video; my educated guess would be no. We know that pikmin are a weird mix of plant and animal, and since the only thing we see them eat is nectar, which they only seem to do to bloom their flowers, I would hazard a guess that pikmin mainly gain nourishment through photosynthesis via their leaves, buds, and flowers. Perhaps the flowers are better suited for photosynthesis, and this is why flower pikmin are faster and stronger than their leaf counterparts? But if my photosýnthesis theory is correct (I have only really played the fourth game and just watched playthroughs of the first and second game, so I am very much a noob when it comes to pikmin knowledge), then unless plants have some sort of exctretment process I don't know about, then I would say that pikmin don't poop.
What bugs me about the Pikmin binomial nomenclature is that Pikmin is a perfectly fine name for a genus. Just look at the western lowland gorilla for comparison, lmao. Also I'm pretty sure the family names are supposed to be common names? Still slightly lazy because a lot of families only have one genus in them when they reallly should have more. People complained about the Horned Cannon Beetle being near identical looking to the Armored Cannon Beetle but that's actually how different species in the same genus typically look like in real life Anyways 9/10 needs more ranting about the Doomsday Apparatus
Perhaps the onions aren't merely a 'container' for larva but are themselves a kind of carnivorous plant, digesting food brought by the pikmin into a nectar the pikmin themselves can digest?
So basically, if we’re playing with Cladistics on, Pikmin are explicitly plants. But they are plants that have evolved such an extensive convergence with animals that I’d be willing to accept an argument they should have a kingdom all to themselves. They definitely aren’t animals, though.
Based on everything discussed, it seems pikmin (and their onions) might just be symbionts. The onion being a different species from the pikmin that lives in symbiosis with them, and the pikmin themselves could be a symbiont! Like a species of ant who was once parasitised by a plant, but later developed a mutualistic relationship that evolved to symbiosis, and the onion could be where these ants used to nest, until they evolved their second sybiosis (alternativelly, the onion could have something like parasitic spores or seeds that, once the ants were infected, led them to build a colony inside the onions instead of under the ground and later became symbiotic). The bulbman could be an example of this parasitic plant infecting a bulbord and the green pikmin could be a species of pikmin that reverted to living underground without an onion (or they bury their one). I think this could explain their mix of extremelly specialized plant and animal traits without them needing to evolve so many new traits from scratch (or maybe it is just a bizarre case of convergent evolution between pikmins' and ants' lifestyles)
My one follow up question would be - If Pikmin evolved from plants, event o gain features commonly associated with animals to be something Other Than Plants, wouldn't that still make them considered plants evolutionarily speaking? In the same way birds are considered dinosaurs because they evolved from dinosaurs even though they're something other than dinosaurs as well.
What is the lifespan of a Pikmin? Maybe they’re doing the mayfly and the ones we see the next day are the next generation. Figure how fast they grow. We only see daytime. This is great!
I think Glow Pikmin poop the argument that their ghost doesn't really make sense seeing how they can reproduce. Unless of course the reproduction is gathering materials to summon more ghosts and not traditional reproduction as an animal or plant would do
First of all, the subject is actually called "PikMINology" according to the Data Files found in P3. Second, I genuinely googled "do plants poop" and I hate you both for compelling me to do that.

But I would love to know what entry in Pikmin 3 says they eat animals! I’d like to check that out!

Pikmin also prey on creatures, hunt and eat according to the Gildamandwee and Breadbug and Giant Breadbug logs, I feel like if they meant to say it was food for the onion they would've stated so through language
Thanks for having me! Glad I could put my Pikology Degree to good use!
In pikmin 4, when pikmin drink nectar, sparkles come out of their flowers pop out

In the same way birds are considered dinosaurs because they evolved from dinosaurs even though they're something other than dinosaurs as well.
This is a silly question to ask, after all we all grew up with the same lesson about life. "Everybody poops".
