==[[Captain Olimar]]==
He's the main character and has a great article so why not?

# C'mon guys, this is Olimar! Who cares if he's been featured before, he's the main event! I support. [[User:Mikeburnfire|Mikeburnfire]] 20:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)Mikeburnfire

#Okay, I'm actually going to oppose.  Firstly, it's a bit predictable, not exactly a novel feature.  Secondly, for one of the main articles, half of it is a retelling of the story of both games.  It needs some reorganisation at the very least.  Finally...we can't all support everything, as it'd be impossible to choose one.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} 18:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

==[[Burrowing Snagret]]==
A fairly popular enemy, but not as common as the Red Bulborb, for example. Also, it is a boss, but not very spoilish. I think the article is well written too. [[Special:Contributions/67.172.252.52|67.172.252.52]] 01:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

#Me too.  It's long enough and well-written.  Could get a better image and have most of the first bit moved to 'how to kill', though.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

==[[S.S. Dolphin]]==
Okay, think, this was the entire reason Pikmin 1 was started. If The Dolphin hadn't have any pieces blown apart, Olimar would just have blasted off again. Their would be no Olimar meeting Pikmin and the series wouldn't even exist. [[User:Pik kid|Pik kid]] 16:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

#That isn't that great of an artical, it looks like it should be on GameFAQ's and needs major fixing so it isn't purely a guide, and KB72 you should give us reasons... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

#{{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}} It's a good article, but it's not fit to be featured.
# {{User:Loafy the Breadbug/sig}} I don't think it would be very good just to feature Pikmin and Creatures. Instead have something like an Area or Treasure.

#[[User:James92498|-~-~-James92498-~-~-]] ([[User talk:James92498|talk]]) 19:59, 24 July 2012 (EDT) Real name: James. I chose this article just in case if there are a few Pikmin fans out there who haven't been on the internet in a while, but then decide to go on Pikipedia, they would see that theres a new Pikmin game right on the front page. they'd probably be all like, "WHOAH! I've been outside having a life so much, that I didn't even know there's a new Pikmin! Sweet!". Plus, who didn't see this coming; 8 years of waiting, no information during that time, and finally Nintendo decides to unvail it first in their e3 presentation! Sign your name for support!

#— '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:24, 25 July 2012 (EDT) It's just a small stub with random tidbits of info for now. Not mention-worthy, specially not something we want on the main page. This article will be featured in the future, no question about it, but for now, leave it be.
# <span style="font-family:times;color:#080">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|G]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050">P</span>]]'''''</span> - as Espyo.
#{{User:PikFan23/sig}} Per above.
#[[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]])- Yes, it's not exactly high quality as it is now. Plus, it really doesn't have much information yet. It's just made up of hints that the developers dropped and a few elements of the game. This article should only be considered once Pikmin 3 is released and we're able to play the game and know about all of it's elements.

==[[Puffy Blowhog]]==
I nominate the page [[Puffy Blowhog]] to be featured. It is a very neat and tidy article, has lots of information, an image, and info on any glitches there might be involving blowhogs. It is also very detailed, and everything about it just seems ''right''. I have also just fixed it up, giving it much better sentence structure, and it now sound even more fluid to read than it did before. On top of that, the [[Burrowing Snagret]] article has been featured for almost a year, and we will need to find a replacement featured article instead.

===Support===
#[[User:Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] ([[User talk:Los Plagas|talk]]) - Nominator.

===Oppose===
# <span style="font-family:times;color:#080">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|G]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050">P</span>]]'''''</span> - Doesn't read great, not particularly well-organised, not very long, and the images aren't the best.  A good enough article, but not worth being featured, IMO.

===Comments===
It's pretty well organized, but it's so short... If there are other articles that would be better highlighted, I'd prefer one of those. Otherwise, I can support this nomination. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:18, 8 February 2013 (EST)

I'm going to side with Espyo on this one. I'm neutral on it. --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}

The introduction alone is a mess. I think the information isn't that bad but it needs a lot of rewriting first.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

# I'm changing my support of this one to opposition, as the saved game selection menu is just not notable enough to be featured. It has an interesting section, but the article as a whole is just not very interesting.

# This seems like an awfully specific and niche thing to have as a featured article.
