I think that should work- idk, since it isn't *technically* official, but it also is from the have, so idk. I personally think it's better than the clay thingy. [[User:CHRISTALcLEAR|CHRISTALcLEAR]] ([[User talk:CHRISTALcLEAR|talk]]) 04:51, July 16, 2022 (EDT)

:I'm no expert editor, but from what I can tell, generally, these wikis look to have the highest quality and most recent images displayed, if you're looking to replace it, that is.  Of course, when we're talking about Bulbmin, "recent" isn't exactly a factor.  The most recent piece of official artwork is used first, as you really can't get higher quality that that, both in terms of level of detail, and amount of pixels.  After that, either the next most recent artwork is used, or the clearest and highest quality screenshot is used, depending.  After that, it's the best in-game image someone can muster.  Because we already have official artwork of Bulbmin, replacing that anywhere is something you probably shouldn't do.  It ''may'' be worth, though, to upload this to the [[Bulbmin]]'s image gallery, or at the very least, to your user page.

== Scientific names ==
The Pikmin garden wiki has the scientific names of red, yellow, blue, purple, white, rock and winged Pikmin. In case anyone wanted to add them. - [[Special:Contributions/172.91.192.76|172.91.192.76]]
:This has already been documented, in the Naming section of each Pikmin type's article. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:54, July 3, 2023 (EDT)
== Pikmin 4 Scientific Name Change? ==
Was playing the pikmin 4 demo again and found a few things out about the scientific nomenclature about a few things relating to the pikmin
1: Scientific name appears to have been updated? No longer Pikminicus but name under Pikminidae. From demo all of the available pikmin are under this so its likely for each type and we could do to change the nomenclature used to search them up and also on their pages.
2: Onions appear to be a separate family to pikmin, they're in the Candypop family now (along with Flarlic)
3: Onions are flarlic arent the same species in a weird way, the onions all seem to be under the same scientific name (Lillium pikminiporta), however the Flarlic is Bulbus lillium, switching where the lillium goes in its name to the back (possibly an error or just a translation thing or im thinking too deep into it)
(EDIT)
Onions arent currently listed on the candypop family page but I'm guessing that's down to time so im not too fussed about that
== Glow Pikmin ==
Given that Glow Pikmin are classified as ??? family in game, should they still be in the article? I suppose it would make sense for the sake of convenience if nothing else. --[[User:Anothrgamer1234|Anothrgamer1234]] ([[User talk:Anothrgamer1234|talk]]) 10:27, July 22, 2023 (EDT)
:I'd say yes, given that they act the same and their scientific names still begin with Pikminidae, like all the other types in the game. [[User:GoldPikmin|GoldPikmin]] ([[User talk:GoldPikmin|talk]]) 17:30, September 10, 2023 (EDT)
The Pikmin family article was originally just for Pikmin types, but now that they *are* an officially recognized family, it might be worth reworking the article entirely. - '''[[User:Bossclips|Bossclips]]'''
== Who voiced the Pikmin? (in the earlier games) ==
While reading the Pikmin 2 Wikipedia page, I stumbled across [https://web.archive.org/web/20210501040206/https://www.nintendo.co.jp//nom/0405/1_2/index.html an interesting Nintendo of Japan page]. I'll admit I am using a translator program, I do not speak Japanese myself. It has interesting info on Pikmin 2's development, but one thing stuck out to me. Mitsuhiro Hikino says he has been voicing the Pikmin since Pikmin 1. However, on [[Nintendo]] page on this wiki, it says that Hajime Wakai has recorded some of the Pikmin's samples. Where did we find info that says Wakai voiced Pikmin? Did he voice some but not all of their noises?

== Split ==
This article is about the Pikmin creatures you control in the series, and its name is "Pikmin family", in the same format as other [[Template:Families|family articles]]. This article is structured very differently to other family articles on the wiki, but this is fine given what it covers and the fact that it still functions as a family article. Or at least, it did function as a family article, until [[Glow Pikmin]] were added. Glow Pikmin are a type of Pikmin, but they are not in the Pikmin family, so they are also listed in the [[Unknown family]] article. This raises the question of whether there should be separate articles covering the Pikmin creatures and the Pikmin family. One issue with doing this is that the resulting articles would have a large amount of overlap, and another issue is that there's no obvious title for the article about the creatures, which is a problem given the importance of this topic. But it is worth considering that a similar thing was done with the [[Candypop family]] article, with the [[Candypop Bud]] article being split out a few months ago. Should this article be split? And if so, what should the titles of the resulting pages be? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:39, May 12, 2024 (EDT)
: I fully agree with splitting "Pikmin family in the Piklopedia" from "Pikmin, the creatures you control". The two are entirely separate concepts now thanks to Glow Pikmin, and honestly it was always pretty weird to have this family page written like a dedicated page, when all the others are more like detailed redirects. I also think that making [[Pikmin]] be about the creatures makes plenty of sense. No page is using that name, and it is pretty common for the main character to get disambiguation priority over their titular media. --[[User:PopitTart|PopitTart]] ([[User talk:PopitTart|talk]]) 01:02, July 31, 2024 (EDT)
::I agree. Another weird thing I've noticed is that [[Pikpik carrot]] is currently classified under [[:Category:Pikmin family]], because of [[:Template:Infobox pikmin]]. [[User:2 B|2 B]] ([[User talk:2 B|talk]]) 10:58, July 31, 2024 (EDT)
:::Well, That's fixed now, before, it was "<nowiki>{{infobox pikmin|something}}" while now, it's "{{infobox pikmin|something|nocat=y}}" </nowiki>
::::Alright, that was easy. I do have another question though. As mentioned above, Glow Pikmin are Pikmin, but do not belong to the Pikmin family. They are currently also categorized under [[:Category:Pikmin family]]. If "Pikmin" and "Pikmin family" are to be split, how should Glow Pikmin be categorized? The name [[:Category:Pikmin]] is already in use (though it could be moved to "Category:Pikmin series"). [[User:2 B|2 B]] ([[User talk:2 B|talk]]) 11:46, August 4, 2024 (EDT)
:::::There could be a [[:Category:Pikmin types]] for Pikmin type articles. (If the [[Bulbmin]] article is split, then the article about the Pikmin type would go in both this category and [[:Category:Pikmin family]], and the article about the enemy would only go in Category:Pikmin family.) &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 18:26, August 4, 2024 (EDT)
:We'll need to think of a good number of things to see if such a split makes sense.
:*What would the new article be named?
:**How will it conflict with the already-complex branch of articles whose names are also "Pikmin" in some capacity?
:*What would be the distinction in the material each one covers?
:*Do people that search for one expect information from the other and vice-versa?
:*Is there any information that would pertain to both articles?
:*How many articles across the wiki would we have to change? (answer: a metric tonne)
:*How should we handle other creatures and their families?
:*Should something similar be done to the likes of Bulborbs?
