I've been doing some reaserch recently, and I think that the green pikmin wouldn't be able to get off the ground if they are really weak. I mean, think about it, there wingspan would have to be twice there body hight, there lungs would have to be three times larger, there heart would have to be supereffective, and the mucile structure would have to be so light and strong, it would make a purple pikmin pround. So, I think we should ether beef them up, change them, or drop them next wars.

I'm with Fang on this one. If you technically want to get scientific about it, we shouldn't be using pikmin at all. We're playing a game that involves spiders that repeatedly burst into flame, so science isn't our biggest priority.

Yeah, the albino elephants that spew fire and water kinda kill the realism too. No I think the greens are fine.

Do a little research on the Burrowing/Pileated Snagret too, and you'll find that the way they burrow into the ground like that is entirely unrealistic. Or the way Wollywogs hover in the air for a few seconds before dropping, or plenty of other things--It just doesn't make sense to pick this out.

I can prove the albino elephants, flaming spiders, and floating frogs, but you snagged me on the snagrets. Anyway, we should try to get non-canon as close to realtiy, even if the game it came from is not. But, if I will get a grilling, I'll drop it.

We have plants with eyes. We have flies with improbably large bellies. We have arachnids that are expert marksmen. We have pigs that fly and blow wind. We have mushrooms that glow. We have caterpillars that shoot rocks. We have lobsters that could stub your toe by rolling onto it. We have ghosts that use 2 stone pillars to get around. We have creatures that burn themselves and sleep at the same time. We have ladybugs that can shoot out their mouths. We have tiny men that can turn you into stone. We have stone people that like flowers. We have leaves that can walk. We have termite queens that like to roll around. Most of all, WE HAVE A THREAD THAT WOULD HAVE A MUCH BETTER AFFECT IN THE COUCH.

Alright, alright. I think Rocky gets the point.
This game isn't based off of realism.

I can explain everything but the plants with eyes and the ghosts. But you have a point, Petro. We could move this to the couch. The results could be interesting.

Wait, before this thread is over, I want to see Rocky explain those things.

The horse fly is unproportanatly large to the rest of itself, as are most other bugs, due to the small sizes they do not need advanced equliberiem, as size is not realtive.
A specialized fish is an expert marksman, and accounts for the refraction of light on the surface of the water, so who is to say that an Arachnid cannot posses the same skills, with fewer obsticals?
Ok... No flying pigs, but the Blowhogs have a set of bladders specialized to ether ignight methane fluid using flint that is instinct of the species to find, or by using similar methane bladders as a modification for flight. I don't see the blowhogs as pigs.
Many mushroom speices are bioluminesant.
Insects can use tools, to some degree. The Orb Weaving Spider can use twigs in there nets to aid in structural sounding.
You have to be jokeing, some lobsters can be the size of you head. If you freeze them, you can lose a few toes.
Not fire exactly, but most birds have relitivily acidic puke, lots of insects have "Spicy" venom in there skin as well.
See above for marksmanship bugs/fish.
We can paralize almost any animal and keep it alive indefinatly.
While silicone life forms have not been discovered, who is to say if they have semi-sentiance or not.
The Walking-stick bug. Case closed.
Natural termite queens have little mobility, but ant queens can have workers make rafts to traverse water or land, and they roll into it.

And Humans have stomach acid. Fire is a natural element that does not exist inside creatures, and any creature on Earth would likely perish if they are caught on fire. Besides, a ton of animals and insects have venom they inject anyway, being on their skin shouldn't make a different.

That was to corolate with the bulblaxes being enflamed.
