Title: Nintendo actually made a new breed of flower...
Post by: Eiksirf on December 11, 2001, 09:12:12 PM
No punchline, they actually made a flower.

They had it made so it looked like a Pikmin, and that\'s what they\'re naming it.  It has a scientific name, but it will commonly be known as the Pikmin flower.

Living Pikmin flowers will actually be available for purchase in April.

Not quite. I just don\'t think anyone past puberty would post such a childish statement.

So am I right? Are you 12?

Bah!! I have the right to make any statemnet I choose, just like you have the right to like or dislike it. And don\'t worry so much about me, if your so intrested in how old I am click on my profile.
That\'s my nickname for Nintendo(fit\'s quite well IMO) if you don\'t like it tuff. I hardly think it has anything to do with my age. It\'s more of a taste thing really. Enjoy your flowers and Pokemon, it\'s just not my style. :)

lol, Sorry to hammer you so much on your "flower" discovery. But it is a rather interesting tidbit and I didn\'t know that.

But what\'s up with all the Pikmin flower info? :laughing:

Did I ever say you couldn\'t make that statement? Have they not covered reading comprehension with the kids on the short bus?

I don\'t know.  Just thought it was neat.  Certainly *cough* innovative. :)

I don\'t know how it could possibly be successful at advertising Pikmin, but it\'s still pretty neat.

I just like the fact that there\'s a new breed of flower and Nintendo is the reason why.

Like I said though that is pretty kool since I didn\'t know that.

Are there any Pikmin flowers in the game??

Or are those strange grass blade creatures named after the flower???

I heard Miyamoto (a.k.a. God :laughing:) , say that he got the idea for the game by "gardening".

I think, "gardening" means, smokin\' up on the ol\' peace pipe.

Oh c\'mon give me abreak, is this supposed to be funny? Haha:laughing: There you happy now?? I found it hilarious:rolleyes: Look just drop this non-sense, who cares if I like nintendo, Pikmin, or even you. Hell I could care less what you think about me, cause I sure as hell could care less about you. It\'s not going to hurt my feelings with your lame ass (supposed to be funny) cuts. Haha:laughing: there I\'m still laughing about it.

Just drop it, I can continue this war of wits if you like, but I can see you are unarmed.... Oh what a lame cut, almost as lame as yours:rolleyes: Give me a freakin break.........

is how its ok for you to make stupid cuts at Nintendo - thats what they are actually named in case you didnt know then when he takes cuts at you

and also if you dont care then dont reply to him - easy as that now isnt it

Well that\'s funny cause I don\'t remember cutting Nintendo, They have stated they are aiming towards the kids, so how does NINKIDIO cut them if thats what they want to do?

Second, if I were cutting on Nintendo, thats alot different than cutting on an individual. Just because he doesn\'t like what I say doesn\'t give him the right to make a wise crack towards me. That\'s the main problem, I think some of you have the mentality that (man he doesn\'t like the console I like, So lets cut on him and make it right:rolleyes: ) Whatever makes you happy guys:yawn:

I must admit, that after reading all the threads in here, I don\'t get the big deal... Nintendo is the console most aimed at children.  Who cares if people therefore call it ninkidio.
My last nintendo system was a 64, and perfect dark was the last purchase, after goldeneye.  Nintendo doesn\'t make enough games that appeal to me anymore, but I\'m sure some adults like their games.

To sum up my rambling.  Nintendo.  Ninkidio.  The loser console.  The best console.   Who cares?

Exactly. People get too uptite about defending they\'re systems or systems the like. You say one thing about it and then they blow up like a hamburger in Kabul.

Actually, if you\'re going to name Nintendo some childish remark, try something better than Ninkidio. Heck, even the good \'ole Kidtendo would work. Ninkidio just sounds stupid.

Oh well. Gotta go unlock some stuff in Smash Brothers.

You\'re right.  Some people should stop provoking people and just enjoy the d*mn games.

I only provoke you when I\'m bored. But I don\'t like the gamecube because I don\'t like the games coming out for it. PS2 and X-Box have the games I like and thats\' why I\'m probably getting the X-Box soon.

I\'m gonna admit it. I like all the systems out, the PS2, yes, is my personal preference, but they are all good systems. I wish that Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sega can just make one universal system and the world would be a much kooler place.

Yeah Titan.  That statement wasn\'t aimed toward you or anything.  I enjoy debating with you when I\'m bored.  It\'s pretty stupid and pointless but it\'s fun.
