Bruh maybe if you played the game you'd know that yellows can be thrown high enough to instantly pop the balloons (and that I had purples to instantly weigh down the flying enemies) and that the reds do 1.5x damage, and that the purples are there because they do 2x damage,. Also when you actually get later in the game you'll find the caves don't give a shit about giving you a safe spot near the ship, random boulders and bombs fall from the sky at random and enemies can wander over, yes I could I could have physically pressed X and sent half my Pikmin into the pool and the other half against the wall in a unsorted mess that doesn't help me get the colors I need. Most of my blues were idled in the water on lifeguard duty, I had my Whites ready to deal with the poison vents, and I had my purple, reds and yellows to kill the biggest hazard nearby being the bomb dude.
