Category talk:Harmless enemies

Just a question, where is the Arctic Cannon Larvae in this page? It can't directly kill Pikmin can it? Pikmin fan Ford4385 reporting for duty! (talk) 06:33, 10 March 2015 (EDT)

Looks like it really is missing. Sure thing, I'll add it. — {Espyo^T} 11:20, 10 March 2015 (EDT)

Ok it's there now. Thanks! Pikmin fan Ford4385 reporting for duty! (talk) 16:08, 10 March 2015 (EDT)

The picture of all the harmless enemies should either be taken down, or stated "as of pikmin 2" Pikmin fan Ford4385 reporting for duty! (talk) 19:17, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

I'm not a fan of the images to begin with, but yes, you're right. I've added a TODO note. — {Espyo^T} 05:58, 24 March 2015 (EDT)

Ok perfect Pikmin fan Ford4385 reporting for duty! (talk) 08:49, 24 March 2015 (EDT)

I think we should just remove images like this. They don't serve much of a purpose IMO, are difficult to verify and update, and there's no policy about what categories should have them. They're just going to become annoying larger as new games come out. The one on the enemies category page is going to be massive once it's updated. GreenPikmin (talk) 11:04, 24 March 2015 (EDT)

Exactly. I'll get around to deleting them in the next few days. — {Espyo^T} 12:10, 24 March 2015 (EDT)

New harmlessness

As far as I can tell, some returning enemies in Pikmin 4 are newly harmless. It doesn't seem like Breadbugs kill Pikmin when burying treasure, and the Giant Breadbug's charge attack also seems harmless to Pikmin (but not captains). The Puffstool also seems to be unable to harm Pikmin at all. Do these get the category? --GopyXP (talk) 02:35, July 27, 2023 (EDT)

I'd say we can categorize them in both categories. If I want a complete list of enemies that cannot harm Pikmin, I can make use of this category, and within each enemy's article, I can filter more intently by game if I want. It's much better than the list being incomplete. — {Espyo^T} 16:19, July 27, 2023 (EDT)
