* I feel like that people aren't going to remember how many days they completed ''Pikmin'' in their first run... Maybe a better poll would be asking about the fewest days that they completed ''Pikmin'' in? IMO, a low-day run makes more of an impact than their first run. {{User:PikFan23/sig}} 20:07, 18 July 2015 (EDT)
** I don't know... Casual players (I assume the vast majority) won't really care for low-day runs. I've played through ''Pikmin'' several times, but I still remember my first time: 23 days. I'd say the first time really sticks with you, but I'm all ears for different opinions. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 08:12, 19 July 2015 (EDT)
*** Hmm... Yeah, most probably won't be going for a low-day run. Looking at the stats for ''Pikmin 3'', not a whole lot of people got all fruit, and even then, those who did took like 40-50 days. (Also, regarding the marsh thing, I don't know how it disappeared...? I don't even remember doing anything to it...) {{User:PikFan23/sig}} 04:26, 20 July 2015 (EDT)
* I first played Pikmin after the sequel, so my first record was fairly impressive. My first run of Pikmin 2, on the other hand... look, the instruction manual didn't make it clear the log-things were bridges, OK?

===Comments===
* Well, you've got basically until E3, at the latest, if my memory that "the game is basically ready" or something along those lines is true. We might see a Nintendo Direct and see it earlier, or they might pull a Detective Pikachu and announce it out of the blue. Depending on how long polls last, I don't see this one surviving long.

* In September they confirmed it was almost  ready and what else are they doing? Making Pokemon Layton and reporting a game (AGAIN). Pikmin 4 should be done by now. [[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 15:12, 1 February 2016 (EST)
*Im pretty confident that Pikmin 4 will be announced before this poll goes up, but if it doesn't, I think the chance to have it as a poll would still be good. Also 3DS and New 3DS should stay seperate as they would be two very different games in design/implementation due to the New 3DS's faster processing speed.[[User:GoldenTriforce|GoldenTriforce]] ([[User talk:GoldenTriforce|talk]]) 18:02, 5 February 2016 (EST)

*Even if Nintendo reveals the console during the poll's lifespan, I don't think that invalidates the poll. For starters, I think this is something fans really want to be vocal about. If in the end, one week after the poll is up, Nintendo reveals that the next game's platform will actually be mobile devices (''knock on wood''), the question still stands: "what platform would you LIKE it to be on?" &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:27, 30 January 2017 (EST)
* This poll could be reworded in a way like "If you could release Pikmin 4 on any platform, what platform would it be on?", making this independent from any official reveals or technical difficulties, so you could have "Switch", "3DS", "Wii U" and "Smartphone" (Nintendo mobile games are the rage right now) as options.

# Not many fans will know about the unused features. Of course, this can help bring attention to them, but the fans's feelings will still be limited regardless. Then, there's the fact that we still don't know much about the unused content and mechanics. There's still a lot left to discover right now, and even the contents in this list aren't entirely known. The "false" Candypop Bud might just be how the Candypop Bud works internally, if it is not set up properly, as opposed to being a new object that was meant to kill your Pikmin. The Bubble Blowhog could just be a new version of the plain old Watery Blowhog. The poison geyser is already an old thing, so I can't see how that one would be exciting whatsoever. I'm just not feeling this poll at all. Maybe one day in the distant future, when unused P3 content is much better understood, and more popular. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:38, 30 January 2017 (EST)

* While an unused features poll would be fun for nerds like me who explore unused content and mechanics, I doubt the "average" Pikmin fan/player will even know about any of these things. I have to agree with Espyo that I think it would just be too obscure to get many responses from the community.

# (Nominator:) A friend of mine suggested this.

===Comments===
* I like this idea. This is the first time (as I know of) that the poll has been based off the wiki, and not the games, which does add more variety. It may even help us make better April Fool's jokes by reflecting back on old ones. My only opposition is I think only editors and frequent readers of the wiki (which is pretty hard to measure) will probably vote or understand what it even is. However, it might encourage readers to actually read April Fool's articles, and then they might vote. Still, I'm not sure if readers will care enough to read all the articles at once just to vote. Regardless, I would like this happen and it would be fun to see! &mdash [[User:CrazyCow|CrazyCow]] 21:03, 7 April 2019 (EDT)
** Well, only the avid readers will even pay attention to the poll in the first place, I'd say. For the others, I hope it sparks their curiosity enough to go check them out. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:57, April 8, 2019 (EDT)

Plus, giving them a way in which to passive-aggressively point out Miyamoto lied, and how he lied, isn't exactly the healthiest thing we could do in this community.
