I prefer the name "Pebble Pikmin" myself. First off, Pikmin are roughly a half inch tall, right? If you find a rock outside that size, you don't call it a rock, you call it a pebble. Second, there's something about the physics when they're thrown and the way they bounce and roll that tells me, that's not a rock, that's a pebble.

Thoughts? (The other 4 options in the poll were more an afterthought for me.)

Rock is fine. Otherwise, I'd rather just go for a color. Like Black Pikmin.

You've got to remember that at the size of the Hocotate captains, rock pikmin are not at all pebble-sized.

I suppose... from the captain's perspective then, I might be tempted to call a rock of that size a boulder. But probably not. It's a rock, you're right.

I still think Pebble Pikmin sounds like a better name. I didn't like it when I first conceived of it, but it grew on me.

I wish they had been Gray Pikmin with similar properties, but since they're literally rocks with Pikmin features only Rock Pikmin makes sense to me.
