in each pikmin game theres 2 new types. i pretty sure this is the case with 4 (i dont think oatchi replaces the 2nd type). every type has been polar opposites. purples and slow and heavy whites are fast and light weight rocks are strong and hard wings are weak if ice pikmin are cold, could this imply that theres some kind of molten/lava/fire pikmin? if thats true than reds are just useless
