Is there a way for me to get multiple types of pikmin in the future, or change your main pikmin type?

There's two ways for Pikmin types to be earned: -Finding random Onions in maps. Those won't appear too frequently, but if you find one, it will merge with your current Onion at the end of the day, giving you that extra Pikmin type! -Buying a random Onion color upgrade. This one isn't implemented yet, but you would be able to purchase a random (read: not the one you have now) Onion type for a price. I'm still debating how much it should cost, and whether I should have it increase with each purchase. And whether to offer non-random Onion colors, and whether to make those pricier than the random Onion color purchases... you get the deal But as for all things relating to the game, I'm open to suggestions on the pricing, and for potential ideas for getting new Onion types! -BAV

Will people be able to trade Pikmin? I've been wanting to do that for a while.

Trading is an interesting idea, but I wouldn't want it to allow people to give one another instant access to all 5 starting types either... If I were to have a trading system, I'd have it be so you couldn't grow more of those Pikmin until you got the Onion of the corresponding color.

Maybe you should have candypop buds in levels/stores too. It'll be a cheaper way to change the color of some of your pikmin. But if you don't have an onion with that new color, you can't grow any more of that type of pikmin until you find/buy it's onion, and you'll have to keep them in your ship until then (like the purple and white pikmin)

Candypop buds were definitely always planned to be added, although that was mainly for getting Purples and Whites. I haven't really thought about having buds of the other colors, obviously limited to maybe 5-10 Pikmin per bud. And selling them could make for an interesting power-up item. I'll have to consider those ideas, definitely. Thanks for the suggestion!
And as for Pikmin, I would say that if you don't have the Onion type, the Onion would simply not be able to spawn Pikmin of that type. The Pikmin could still lodge in there canonically, the Onion is simply incapable of spawning more Pikmin of that type until the correct Onion color is found and has merged with the Onion.

Alright, I've listened to your suggestions, and I've now made available some ways to gather different Pikmin types! Go see The Shop at the Captain's Colony for more details. -BAV
