This page is where users suggest their ideas for [[Pikipedia:Poll|polls]], as well as comment on other poll ideas or vote on whether they like them or not. These decisions are for what polls should be asked on the wiki, not for what poll will be next. New poll ideas should start out in the "Ideas that need work" section, and once it's clear that the poll doesn't have problems and is ready to be asked, a staff member can move it to the "Ready ideas" section. Note that staff members selecting the next poll can choose ideas from either section.

***''Hey! Pikmin'' still has area design, even if it's done in a totally different way to the 3D games. It's still comparable enough in my opinion. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 03:01, August 8, 2021 (EDT)
**** I don't think it's fair to compare the design of stages from a 2D puzzle-ish side scroller to those of 3D real-time strategy games. They're naturally going to be designed differently to suit their respective gameplay styles (and limitations of the hardware.) But since Hey Pikmin doesn't have any peers in the series, there's not really anything close you ''can'' compare it to. So I'm not sure on this one.

# (Nominator:) This is more of a fun and silly poll. There are a bunch of enemies in the ''Pikmin'' series that are often considered annoying by players, and it could be interesting to have a poll on which one people find the most annoying. The options I picked are enemies commonly noted as particularly annoying. Similar polls could work for other games, though I limited this one to ''Pikmin 3'' to avoid cross-game comparisons. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 05:39, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

# (Nominator:) A simple poll to see which of the four basic [[hazard]]s people like the most.

# As per the reply to my opposition, if this poll is about hazards from a game design perspective, I think this could be quite interesting.  But it might need to be renamed to specify this.  I also am absolutely not opposed to having more options.  I guess I've been nudged over the fence and a bit into "support" territory. -[[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 11:24, November 30, 2022 (EST)

# Does one have a favorite hazard? If so it would be the least annoying one, cause the least favorite hazard would go right to the insta-kill one (Electricity). --[[User:PastelP|PastelP]] ([[User talk:PastelP|talk]]) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)
# This one feels kind of... iffy.  I'm not sure how one could really have a favorite hazard - I mean, they're ''all'' bad, right?  People would just gravitate towards whatever does the least damage and/or is the easiest to avoid.  Fire, water, and poison are also more-or-less the same thing.  Unless this poll is about people's favorite ways to kill Pikmin.  And that's simultaneously fantastic, and something that would probably never happen.  I'm open to changing my mind, but for right now I'll stick (rather lightly) to this corner.  -[[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 20:04, November 29, 2022 (EST)
#* I was originally going to word this as "Which is the best hazard", to make it clear that the question is about game design, but poll ideas in the past that have featured "the best" have often had that replaced with "your favorite" because it makes it clearer that the poll is subjective. But considering these reactions, I think that using "the best" would result in a more useful poll. Do you think it would be better if it was reworded in that way? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:59, November 29, 2022 (EST)
# Which game is this about? Becuse in my opinion, Pikmin 2's electricity is the worst hazard, but 3's electricity is almost too genius, so it's hard to vote. [[User:Mama09001|Mama09001]] ([[User talk:Mama09001|talk]]) 02:43, May 27, 2024 (EDT)

# (Nominator:) We've had boss polls in the past for ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'', so we may as well have one for ''Pikmin 2'', which also has clearly-defined bosses.

* I like the idea, but I think there's too many choices for one poll. Would it be alright to split the poll up? --[[User:PastelP|PastelP]] ([[User talk:PastelP|talk]]) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)
** I think the number of choices is fine. But if it had to be split, it could be only bosses that were introduced in ''Pikmin 2'', or only bosses that appear in ''Pikmin 1'' and ''2''. {{User:Cheepy/sig}}
*** Perhaps, but those are pretty arbitrary ways to split it... I don't think there's any way that a split could be done in a non-arbitrary way. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 15:31, November 25, 2022 (EST)
**** The poll could be split up into bosses per area (but the Empress Bulblax kinda messes that up a bit), and there could be some sort of mystical fifth poll with the winners of the other four, to find out which is the best... or maybe not.  I don't know. <br> But I'm calling it right now, if this poll makes it, the winner's gonna be the Waterwraith. -[[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 19:51, November 29, 2022 (EST)
***** A tournament-style poll series could be quite an interesting idea. To avoid having it take nearly a year, each poll could be 2 weeks long, with 3 or 4 initial rounds and one final round. But the grouping of bosses into initial rounds would be quite arbitrary and it would affect the outcome significantly. I'm not sure if there's a good way to do this. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:59, November 29, 2022 (EST)

# (Nominator:) This exact question has been asked before, in late 2018.

# (Nominator:) I've wondered what other people's opinions on this question are, so a Pikipedia poll is a great place to ask.

** The most this spoils is the location of the credits.
