The Bulborb Theory (Pikmin 4) 

I love eating PNF404 wildlife😋😋

Assuming this is all true, if Pikmin, Onions, Candypop Buds etc. were all just simply left behind when the humans booked it, it's very posisble that they could've evolved to be much smaller than originally as well. Maybe about the size we see them in Pikmin Bloom and similar experiences.

The fact that the spiders specifically the man at legs/titan dweevil have weapons made me think it *BACKFIRED* and killed all of humanity, and the rest were left were the others (Koppaites, etc.) (Pun intended, agree with rest of the theory)

I feel like grub dogs are a case of convergent evolution. There’s clearly an evolutionary pressure to be bipedal, and it’s a lot easier to lose legs than develop into a species that starts as grubs and are birthed by one massive queen.

I think Bulborbs are mammals and once all had hair. Why? Because the hairy bulborbs are, well, hairy. I think all bulborbs had hair and lost it over time. They might a relative of dogs or rescue pups. Of course, the hairy Bulborbs are still hairy. But they are a whole different species of the Bulborb. I think this Bulborb just has a diffrent skin pattern and kept the hair from the older Bulborbs. It kept the hair because it makes it warm in the cold, while the other Bulborb's stayed in warmer areas and had no need for hair. That's why lost it and that means that Bulborb's were once creatures in cold area's like Distant Tundra or Valley of Repose. This is my theory about the ancient Bulborb's.

Cool video, love the theory, here are my thoughts while watching: 3:19 Potentially. It looks like a Shih Tzu, which is already a pretty small dog, the main difference being that it's bipedal and also maybe biologically immortal? You discuss the bipedalism later, but you seem focused on comparing it to an "average dog" when paying attention to what breed it most closely resembles would be a pretty good research route. 9:00 The larger Bulborbs and Blowhogs are specifically due to hormonal abnormalities or polyploidy - Jumbo Bulborbs never fully mature and cannot reproduce, and Titanic Blowhogs suffer from a shortened lifespan due to their fire breath putting more strain on their organs. 9:45 Read its Piklopedia page, the spider's body gets co-opted by a machine midway during its life, turning it into a cyborg. It's not even pretending to be natural, the machine and the spider are essentially two different entities. 10:05 Are you saying hoarding behaviors don't appear in nature? The TItan Dweevil a) isn't a cyborg, it just uses tools, and b) isn't even related to Arachnorbs, it's a Dweevil, and bugs hiding under or picking up objects in order to mimic them, build a nest, or some other purpose aren't super uncommon. 10:14 SHOW ME ITS GUN, _PLEASE._ I SEE NO GUN HERE. The objects it carries are: a water faucet, a gas canister, a portable stove, an old precursor to the vacuum tube... and Louie. None of them are fully integrated into its body. 10:17 Part of that can be chalked up to game design - it's a Final Exam Boss, of course it's going to have all of the hazards. The Piklopedia also mentions that Titan Dweevils don't _only_ collect those four treasures, they collect lots of things and prefer shiny objects. I will be honest, everything you said about the Titan Dweevil and Man-At-Legs sounds like you had a conclusion and then squinted at them until they fit that conclusion. You could have gone in a different direction with Man-at-Legs that supported this theory without disregarding the Piklopedia, like how the fact that multiple of them exist means that it isn't a freak accident of a gun robot latching onto a spider and instead there is something _making_ whatever armaments are hijacking these arachnorbs. 12:20 Great dissection of _why_ Pikmin separate out what they carry, love the speculative explanation here. I diagnose you with "didn't do enough research and/or observation". I prescribe some Piklopedia, taken once ocularly each [unit of time] for [duration]. My thoughts on the arachnorbs in regards to this theory are that their ancestors went in a wildly different direction with the materials they consume and use to make up their bodies, since more "conventional" materials were either now hazardous or hard to come by, so those that could succeed using alternative sources of nutrition and structural support were more likely to survive and propagate.

already know this is gonna be a banger

I don't know man I'm pretty sure spiders will evolve to have firearms

In Pikmin 3, Olimar states that Rock Pikmin and Winged Pikmin are new. Either the Onion can also evolve, and thus make new types, or those types have always been around, and just never found. Also in 3, why does the Onion fuse together? It didn't happen in the first 2.

Something you didnt mention but could add to this as well is that they instinctively follow your characters and seem to havs zero self preservation

Dude I had no idea Pikmin had theorizing, I haven’t touched this series in a long time. I subbed!

My theory is that PNF 404 isn’t future Earth, it’s an alternate timeline. Humans lived among the creatures of the Pikmin world, so they got annoyed as the creatures bit and burned them. So, they created the Pikmin, tiny humanoids to protect their homes against the creatures, like living mouse traps.

Bulborbs remind me of Mr. Krabs, the size, and color scheme. *Change my mind* (I'll let you know what I think after I finish the video later)

I've been wanting to get back into Pikmin ever since I started with Pikmin 2 on my 10th or 11th birthday. Finding your channel makes me want to even me. I love theory crafting You get a sub from me my friend

I came here for the Pikmin theory, but never expected to hear Hunnid P. 😂

Ooh, green screen. I like it.

I always imagined the man at legs to be some kind of assassination machine due to it being like a highly mobile spider like thing with a machine gun that is always dormant making itself small enough to be easily hidden and only activating when it’s been found

My man is Jesus Christ 😂

Very cool

Wahooo I’m 13 minutes early

the 🐐 is back

Wait. Hold on. What if the pikmin arent man-made, but actually an invasive species from the Hey!Pikmin planet

I dont agree with the onion being man made bc if you look inside a cell you also might think is a machine with inteligent design
