Hello everyone! P2.0 here with another one of my 'what if' moment/discussion thingie I pulled from my imagination.
Today, er, tonight's topic is, cue drumroll...... PIKMIN! 
Some of you already remember these little guys, especially the standard colored ones, and possibly the new ones:
Red Pikmin: With their distinctive pointy noses, and red bodies. Able to withstand fire.
Yellow Pikmin: With them big adorable ears.
When thrown, are able to sail higher than normal, and can withstand electricity.
Blue Pikmin: The only ones who can breathe underwater. Notice their gills?
Purple Pikmin: The more burly, heavier Pikmin. Can lift objects with the strength ten standard Pikmin. And weighs just as much as ten Pikmin.
White Pikmin: Small, fast, and extremely poisonous. They can sense where things are buried, and can help move things faster than other Pikmin.
Rock Pikmin: Rock solid!
( S-sorry. ;-; ) Er, these guys can't be crushed, or skewered, and they really hurt if they're thrown into something. But they can't latch on to stuff, cuz, well...They rocks. .3.
Winged Pikmin: These guys actually have wings, and can hover/fly!
( They're so cute, GOSH! >.< ) Although they're slightly weaker than most of their kindred, they're no slouches!
And of course Bulbmin and Puffmin, but those don't count.
Anyways, where am I going with this, you ask? Well, here's the thing: What is one day you went to your backyard, and saw a single leaf, much like how Pikmin are when they've just sprouted coming up? And upon pulling it up, you discover a Pikmin! Seeing as how you pulled it up, it sees you as its master, and decides to follow you. What do you do from there? There could be an onion around, or maybe even others...

But maybe they can be taught to do that in time, then that knowledge can be transfered on down to the next Pikmin, should something happen to the first ones.
. I would also take care of the Onion if I found one! It's very important. Maybe make something like a mini ecosystem on a flower pot? A large flower pot looks like plenty of space for all the resources a pikmin needs. I would probably invest on a balcony type thing with the glass fence so that they don't fall off too.
You sound like a good owner, the Pikmin would be in good hands if you took care of them.
