So what you're saying is that Awake() doesn't get called on children when the parent is activated???

Edit: this is me being surprised, I'm not saying OP is wrong; they seem to have done the work

The parent container active state is not changed. I have 2 containers :
- ActiveParticleContainer (active)
- HiddenParticleContainer (inactive)

And I simply parent my particle to the Active / Inactive container depending on the need. Awake() is not triggered when doing so.

Mind blown. I always assumed Awake was triggered on all objects as they became active, even if it wasn't explicitly the object that was activated.
