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.
This page is where users dump their ideas for [[Pikipedia:Poll|polls]], as well as improve existing ones, or vote whether they like them or not. These decisions are for what polls the wiki should have, not for what poll will be next. Details on the process behind a poll's life cycle can be found in the [[Pikipedia:Poll policy|policy page]].

*** I've reworded the poll to have "''Pikmin 1''" instead now that that name is acceptable.

# 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)

# The game may be over a decade old, but as players like myself learn how to play more efficiently, they would see their opinions on the game's difficulty and time limit change (for example, I struggled to make it to the Forest Navel as a kid, but now my best run in the game is 12 days.) I wouldn't think this poll could achieve any concrete entries as many who have played Pikmin 1 in the past would probably find it much easier or even harder today. |\|TechnoMan|/| (talk) 21:13, 18 July 2017 (CDT)

*** ''Pikmin 4'' recontextualizes the question quite a bit. But I guess it would still be possible to ask.

* My original title for this was "How many main-series ''Pikmin'' games have you played?", but I changed the last word to "beaten" for more clarity; it could cause confusion on what is meant by "played" in this context; does playing a few Bingo Battle matches at a friend's house count, or does completing the game count? Ultimately, I meant the latter, so I altered the title to this. Maybe another poll can be made such as "How many main-series ''Pikmin'' games do you own?", but I doubt that'd be too interesting, or at least not as interesting as this one, and would very likely be mutually exclusive with it.

# (Nominator:) Since we did Pikmin types, why not do Bulborbs? We dont have any polls around enemies (that I know of), so this can be cool and unique. The Bulborb is also as recognizable as the Pikmin themselves, and are part of the biggest family in the series ([[Grub-dog family|grub-dog]]). This also includes Bulblaxes and Bulbears, but we can get rid of them if there are too many options. I also think Bulborb Larvae are too similar to Dwarf Bulborbs (same with Dwarf Bulbears) even though they're technically grub-dogs. &mdash; '''[[User:CrazyCow|CrazyCow]]''' October 1, 2019

** I think anything that can be classified as a Bulborb to at least some people should be made an option, to encompass all opinions. This then brings the conundrum of lack of space, but perhaps we could combine similar options into singular entries. Maybe this would be a good list (just a prototype, as it could very likely use some edits):
*** Albino Dwarf/Dwarf/Red/Jumbo Bulborb
*** Hairy Bulborb
*** Dwarf Orange/Orange Bulborb
*** Whiptongue Bulborb
*** Bulborb Larva
*** Dwarf Bulbear/Spotty Bulbear
*** Dwarf Frosty/Frosty Bulborb
*** Empress Bulblax
*** Emperor/Sovereign Bulblax
*** Fiery Dwarf/Fiery Bulblax
*** Snow Bulborb (maybe this can be combined with the first entry due to its lack of almost any unique qualities)
*** Moldy Dwarf Bulborb
:: Like, this is pretty comprehensive, and is relatively concise (still pretty massive). I'm sure it's flawed, but it's probably a good starting point for what to include in the poll? <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 16:48, October 5, 2024 (EDT)
*** I don't like the idea of combining multiple Bulborb types into the same option. People could have pretty different opinions of the Dwarf Orange Bulborb and Orange Bulborb, for example. I think for this question to work we have to limit its scope. If it only included grub-dogs of around the same size as the basic Bulborb, it would include the (Red) Bulborb, Fiery Bulblax, Frosty Bulborb, Hairy Bulborb, Orange Bulborb, Spotty Bulbear, and Whiptongue Bulborb. I think this is a reasonable number of options. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:27, October 6, 2024 (EDT)

***** The other thing that needs to be decided is what order to put the options in. Should they be in alphabetical order, or the order they were introduced to the series?

****** I think introduction order is best, but that has a key flaw; ''Pikmin 2'' is nonlinear, so you could encounter either the Fiery Bulblax, Hairy Bulborb, or Orange Bulborb first - well, no, not necessarily; let me think. In ''Pikmin 2'', Orange Bulborbs are only found in caves that require Yellow Pikmin to access (or are in Wistful Wild), with the exception of the Snagret Hole, but that requires Blue Pikmin or the use of glitches. Blue Pikmin are behind an electric gate, so Snagret Hole therefore cannot be reached without Yellow Pikmin, or glitches, but I think it's safe to say the vast majority of people won't be using glitches on their first playthrough (we'd be looking at first playthroughs because that's when people would encounter them first, just for complete clarification). Then there's the issue of the Wistful Wild; they can be found there, and in two of the area's caves. I'm not sure if the debt can be paid off without using Yellows or Blues (and without using enemy corpses), but I'm fairly sure it can't be, as the vast, vast majority of the Perplexing Pool would be inaccessible, the non-tutorial part of the Valley of Repose would be inaccessible, and a fair amount of the Awakening Wood wouldn't be accessible (this is just my thoughts from some quick research and my memory, so I'm not 100% sure it's correct), which restricts the player from getting ''quite a lot'' of Pokos. Why do Yellow Pikmin matter here, you ask (you probably already know, you're the second-in-command on the most comprehensive Pikmin internet database to ever exist) - the Fiery Bulblax has to be fought (or at least seen, maybe there's a way to get past it without killing it but I don't recall that being possible sans-glitches) for Yellow Pikmin to be discovered, and Yellow Pikmin have to be discovered for Orange Bulborbs to be encountered (unless the player goes out of their way to grind enemies for hours so they can repay the debt). So it's essentially undeniable that the Fiery Bulblax will be found before the Orange Bulborb would be, as well as the Hairy Bulborb, as it is in caves that require Blues (or are in the Wistful Wild). So we can be certain that Fiery Bulblaxes are the first-encountered new-introduced Bulborb in ''Pikmin 2''. As for what goes next, it's not certain the player will encounter either one first, but Hairy Bulborbs require Yellows and Blues to be discovered, but Orange Bulborbs only require Yellows to be discovered (again, they can both be found in Wistful Wild, but this is much less likely and shouldn't really be taken into consideration), so I think Orange Bulborbs should go first. In summary: I believe the order should be (Red) Bulborb, Spotty Bulbear, Fiery Bulblax, Orange Bulborb, Hairy Bulborb, Whiptongue Bulborb, and Frosty Bulborb.<br>As for whether or not we should call it the "Red Bulborb" or the "Bulborb"... hmm. Both sides have good reasons for themselves; they are called Bulborbs in the most recent entry in the series, but just calling them Bulborbs would make them a tad less distinct from the other entries, which *could maybe* cause a bit of confusion. I don't know; I think the vast majority of people would know what we mean if we just say "Bulborb", especially since it's been officially called that for the last eleven years, and it's likely that those who've played the games where it wasn't called that would know the difference. "Red Bulborb" offers complete and utter eradication of any chance of misinterpretation, but "Bulborb" is more official and still makes perfect sense.<br>Additionally, maybe there can be an "Other" option, just so the people who'd prefer types that are left out can have something to pick? <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 18:40, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
******* Alternatively, we could just use Piklopedia order, which would put the ''Pikmin 2'' types in the order Hairy Bulborb, Orange Bulborb, and Fiery Bulblax. I also agree that using "Bulborb" instead of "Red Bulborb" is a better idea. I don't think there should be an "Other" option because it's better to limit the poll to just a few comparable types. Between the introduction order and the alphabetical order, I think the alphabetical order looks slightly better, but that's just my opinion. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 19:19, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
******** It seems to come down to subjectivity; I think it's nice that both start with "Bulborb" at the top, but I generally think in a linear manner, so having one introduced in 4 with two 2 ones on the side is less favourable to me. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 20:22, October 6, 2024 (EDT)

*** I mean, what does the first sentence really add? If anything, it just makes the topic a bit harder to understand, considering its wordiness. I think "What do you think about enemy variants?" with the example in parentheses that Espyo wrote is perfectly fine (perhaps it can say Bulborb variants instead, as Bulborbs appear with variants in more games than Dweevils do, so less-dedicated fans would know more about their variants; the only way someone would not know what this is asking is if they've only played ''Pikmin'', which is unlikely because most newer fans play newer games). It perfectly explains what it's asking, and essentially just converts the first sentence into a more concise example. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 17:28, October 5, 2024 (EDT)

** It's definitely not bad; most of these enemies can be pretty irritating. I do think the Dessicated Skitter Leaf is only a big pain in deathless runs, but its camouflage definitely justifies it here regardless of the playthrough type. Why is the Flighty Joustmite on here, though? I've heard maybe one or two content creators voice their distaste for it, but to me it's literally just a Joustmite with wings, but arguably easier due to its incapacitation when its proboscis gets stuck in the ground; wait for that to happen and throw some Pikmin at its backside, the end. That placement makes very little sense to me.<br>On the topic of adding more, do you think it'd be fair to add the Mysterious Life Form? The fact that it gives chase can make it kind of pesky (though I suppose it's possible any annoyance it might bring is overshadowed by the terror it can cause). How about Phosbat Pods? I don't personally have any issues with them, but maybe their repetitive enemy spawning might be thought of that way... eh, on second thought, probably not. I'd say the Puffy Blowhog can be kind of irritating, but it's not nearly as bad as it is in the first game, so I don't think it needs to be on there. The last two I might think about considering are the Swooping Snitchbug (though, like the Puffy Blowhog, it's much worse in 1 due to its ability to wander) and the Waddlepus, as they both can disjoint your squad a bit, but otherwise, I think the list is fine. That was just me going through the list of all enemies in that game to check for possibilities; do you have anything to say on those? <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 18:37, October 5, 2024 (EDT)
* I think this poll runs into the issue of too many possible options, as in my opinion as Pikmin 3's enemy cast is filled with annoying foes. From ones that are hard to hit, to ones with utterly unfairly fast shake-offs, there's a lot to go around. Some ones that I'd nominate are the Waddlepus, Puffy Blowhog, Water Dumple, Medusal Slurker, and Toady Bloyster, and if all those are included, the number of options inflates drastically. There's also the issue of this being a very subjective topic; one that I don't think really works with Pikipedia's poll format. -[[User:Gulliblepikmin|Gulliblepikmin]] 19:28, October 5, 2024 (EDT)

# (Nominator:) An interesting poll as these characters could easily be alternate skins of Olimar, such as with Alph. We don't have any Smash related polls (that I know of) so this could be an unique one. The only problem is I think we already had a favorite leader poll, and this is kind of similar. But this is asking what would coolest to see fighting in smash, which is more specific. &mdash; '''[[User:CrazyCow|CrazyCow]]''' October 13, 2019

# (Nominator:) Bosses are an integral part of every main-series ''Pikmin'' game, and there have been polls asking one's favourite boss for other games in the series, so I found it surprising that there hasn't been one on this entry. ''Pikmin'' has a fairly diverse selection of bosses, as well as an amount of them that isn't unprecedented for a poll, so I don't see why this question shouldn't be asked. There isn't too much more to this; I'm quite frankly surprised it hasn't been suggested earlier, unless there's some big flaw I'm failing to acknowledge. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 00:13, October 6, 2024 (EDT)

* This is my first poll suggestion; how might we go about sorting the options? I know it's not too big of a deal, but I listed them here alphabetically. I was going to list them in the order they might be encountered, but quickly realised that isn't constant through all playthroughs, so I think an alphabetical listing is optimal, but I'd like to hear other means of/the standards for listing the options if anyone has anything to say! <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 00:13, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
** An alphabetical list is probably the best way when there isn't an official order. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:27, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
* The problem with this question is that there isn't a single definition of what counts as a boss in ''Pikmin''. Different people count different enemies as bosses, so someone looking at the poll could wonder why an enemy they consider to be a boss isn't an option, and someone else could wonder why an enemy they don't consider to be a boss is an option. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:27, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
** I just used the list in [[:Category:Pikmin 1 bosses]], but I see how that might be a bit confusing. Looking at the list of enemies right now, here are my thoughts on the ones not listed as bosses:
*** Breadbug: Maybe someone could call this a boss, but I've always just thought of it as a rare enemy. There's only one, but it hardly poses a threat to Pikmin; I doubt many people would think this is one, especially if they know the series well.
*** Bulborb/Fiery Blowhog/Puffy Blowhog/Spotty Bulbear/Water Dumple/Wollyhop/Yellow Wollyhop: All of these enemies are the beefier, tougher ones out of the game's selection, but there are multiple of them wherever they appear, so I'd find it hard to mistake any of them for a boss.
*** Dwarf Bulbear/Dwarf Bulbear/Male Sheargrub/Shearwig: These all have strength in numbers, but definitely couldn't be thought of as bosses due to their small size.
*** Female Sheargrub/Honeywisp/Iridescent Flint Beetle/Wolpole: All of these are harmless or actively serve to help the player, need I say more?
*** Swooping Snitchbug: These are really just nuisances and hardly pose a threat in terms of Pikmin casualties.
*** Pearly Clamclamp: This is really the only one that I could see being thought of as a boss. Aside from the Goolix and Mamuta, it's the only enemy in The Impact Site, and can be fairly threatening. However, there are multiple, so I've never really thought of it as one.
:: Of course, criteria for what people think of as bosses differs from person to person, but I think a general thing is a more difficult enemy that is used sparingly by the devs and always serves to impede the player from reaching what they protect. The Breadbug, a Puffy Blowhog, and a Pearly Clamclamp drop a ship part, but the latter two aren't the only ones of their kind that appear in their areas, and also either can't directly harm Pikmin or can't harm them unless they're directly attacked, which isn't incredibly threatening like a boss should be. This leaves the Breadbug, which I have never lost a single Pikmin to, and even in the instance where Pikmin are in danger of being lost to it, they can be very easily recovered as the Breadbug is dragging whatever they're carrying to its hole. That's the only entry I think could really be perceived as a boss, but its page here considers it an enemy, as does the majority of the community, to my knowledge. I know that list was ''not'' necessary, but I just wanted to comprehensively address the possibility of there being confusion. This obviously won't change anything about the actions of the participants of the poll, but does it make it a bit more acceptable for use?<br>I just realised that the Mamuta might not be collectively thought of as a boss, however, which might cause confusion. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 11:44, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
