:I've seen the demo video, but I think they names should stay as they are. For one, shock is a verb, not a noun; you don't say "That wire has shock running through it." Also, while the poison hazard ''is'' in the form of a gas, "gas" by itself does not necessarily imply poison, since even the atmosphere is made up of different gasses. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | :I've seen the demo video, but I think they names should stay as they are.

I think 'electricity'/'poison' are more accurate descriptions, and they're used everywhere else anyway. <s>I'm not clear on the extent to which they're used in the game</s>I am now clear why the edit was made, but I'd say they be reverted to what they were before if only to remain in-keeping with the rest of the wiki's articles and the Pikmin community in general. And the demo thing is likely only using those words for effect, since they're more punchy, more appropriate for advertisement.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | I think 'electricity'/'poison' are more accurate descriptions, and they're used everywhere else anyway. <s>I'm not clear on the extent to which they're used in the game</s>I am now clear why the edit was made, but I'd say they be reverted to what they were before if only to remain in-keeping with the rest of the wiki's articles and the Pikmin community in general.

I agree, but with your Noun-verb point, electricity-shock they might go together, like: Shock is the most dangerous hazard, as the electricity running through it kills pikmin instanly. Poison-gas, I think that you could only interchange these words, but could also combine them into poison gas, which is more descriptive than just gas. {{User:Killerbreadbug72/sig}} | I agree, but with your Noun-verb point, electricity-shock they might go together, like: Shock is the most dangerous hazard, as the electricity running through it kills pikmin instanly.

I'm not really sure things like enemies and bottomless pits should count as "hazards." I mean, yes, they are hazardous, but do they really fit in this article? {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | I'm not really sure things like enemies and bottomless pits should count as "hazards."

:I think they should be there, since hazards are anything that can harm Pikmin. I see what you mean, but then the article would have a different name to be specific to elemental hazards. I see it more as a list of ways Pikmin can die or captains can come to harm than hazards in that sense.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | :I think they should be there, since hazards are anything that can harm Pikmin.

::"Hazards" is usually used to describe fire, water, electricity, and poison, but yeah, like I said, everything else there is indeed hazardous. I wouldn't have thought that being eaten by a monster or falling to one's death really needed explaining, but meh. Still though, I think they should be separated from the other hazards, like by putting them under an "Other hazards" section, which opens with something like "Fire, water, electricity, and poison aren't the only things that can harm Pikmin. Among the games various other hazards are..." I think explosions would fit under there too. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | ::"Hazards" is usually used to describe fire, water, electricity, and poison, but yeah, like I said, everything else there is indeed hazardous.

:His reason was provided in the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/index.php?title=Hazards&diff=35075&oldid=35071 edit summary], and he's right, that probably is the wrong place for it. I believe we had a page about enemies sometimes speeding up at sunset, but it may have been deleted for there not being enough to say about it, but I don't actually remember. Perhaps we should made a "Sunset glitches" article to describe all of the glitches that happen at the end of the day. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 19:28, 29 January 2009 (UTC) | :His reason was provided in the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/index.php?title=Hazards&diff=35075&oldid=35071 edit summary], and he's right, that probably is the wrong place for it.

Hey, in Pikmin 1 Olimar can punch the fire geysers and it looks as if he's dealing damage. Is he? I haven't tried it, but maybe you can put them off. <span style="border:2px dashed #FF0000;background-color:yellow">[[ | Hey, in Pikmin 1 Olimar can punch the fire geysers and it looks as if he's dealing damage.

The summary says that hazards are non-living traps. Why, then are enemies in the article? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}} | The summary says that hazards are non-living traps. Why, then are enemies in the article? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}} | ||
