== "Actions" in Pikmin 4 ==
In Pikmin 4, some treasures can preform Actions, such as the Stone of Advancement opening and closing, and the Mechanical Harp playing a song. Should this be documented? [[User:GoldPikmin|GoldPikmin]] ([[User talk:GoldPikmin|talk]]) 00:42, September 12, 2023 (EDT)
In Pikmin 4, some treasures can preform Actions, such as the Stone of Advancement opening and closing, and the Mechanical Harp playing a song. Should this be documented?
 
== Update treasure names to the ones in the Switch port of Pikmin 2 ==
 
To remain consistent with the renamed enemies matching their current names, I suggest renaming the article names for certain Pikmin 2 treasures to match their new names in the Switch port. [[Special:Contributions/104.28.57.219|104.28.57.219]] 23:13, April 25, 2024 (EDT)
 
== ''Pikmin 2'' reigonal differences, version differences, and names ==
 
''Pikmin 2'''s region-based treasure differences are plenty complicated, and their coverage on the wiki currently is rather messy, especially considering the recent Nintendo Switch port that consolidates all regions. There are a few issues and potential solutions to them that have been discussed on the Pikipedia Discord server, which I will list so that they can get on-wiki discussion and feedback before possible implementation.
=== ''Pikmin 2'' on Nintendo Switch is the most recent version of the game ===
Currently, we still document treasures with priority on their appearances in the North American Nintendo GameCube and Wii versions of the game. This is inconsistent with wiki policy, and it is probably warranted to update infoboxes, move some pages, and rewrite introductory paragraphs. As for object lists in areas and caves, I propose that we have individual treasure lists for each console.
 
For lists that are unchanged across consoles and regions, they would remain the same.
* '''Treasures''':
** {{icon|Citrus Lump|v=P2S|y}}
** {{icon|Quenching Emblem|v=P2S|y}}
 
For lists with differences between consoles, they would be duplicated and marked for their respective consoles.
* '''Treasures''':
** [[Nintendo Switch]]
*** {{icon|Happiness Emblem|v=P2S|y}}
*** {{icon|Imperative Cookie|v=P2S|y}}
** [[Wii]]
*** {{icon|Happiness Emblem|y|v=US}} (US) / {{icon|Survival Container|y}} (Europe) / {{icon|Milk Lid|y}} (Japan)
*** {{icon|Imperative Cookie|y}}
** [[Nintendo GameCube]]
*** {{icon|Massive Lid|y}} (US) / {{icon|Survival Container|y}} (Europe) / {{icon|Milk Lid|y}} (Japan)
*** {{icon|Imperative Cookie|y}}
=== Japanese treasures and their names ===
The Nintendo Switch version of ''Pikmin 2'' includes Japanese names for many of the treasures previously only in the American and European versions, and many of those names are the same as different treasures from the original Japanese versions. As compiled by 2 B on [[Talk:Broken Cooking God]]:
*[[Broken Cooking God]] to [[Broken Food Master]]
*[[Lightning Bolt]] to [[Impediment Scourge]]
*[[Love and Courage Reactor]] to [[Courage Reactor]]
*[[Omegatron]] to [[Durable Energy Cell]]
*[[Proton X]] to [[Proton AA]]
*[[Universally Best Art]] to [[Abstract Masterpiece]]
*[[Yell Battery]] to [[Fuel Reservoir]]
And 4 other treasures which have similar names to existing Japanese treasures, but not the exact same:
*[[Milk Lid]] and [[Massive Lid]]
*[[Idea Assistant]] and [[Creative Inspiration]]
*[[Understood Person Symbol]] and [[Optical Illustration]]
*[[Seat of Enlightenment]] and [[Pondering Emblem]]
I think all of these should be merged. Given that Nintendo saw it fit to consider these treasures the same, it seems obvious for us to do the same. For the ones that ''aren't'' though, I believe we should use the original Japanese names, rather than the unofficial translations we have now. [[Coiny The Refined]] is not a name that's ever been used officially, but its the name of the article despite it already having an official one, ''Haisensu zenī''. --[[User:PopitTart|PopitTart]] ([[User talk:PopitTart|talk]]) 01:26, May 30, 2024 (EDT)
:I agree that most of this pages should be merged, but I'm not sure using the original Japanese name for treasures is a good idea. It would be way harder for someone to search for "Haisensu zenī" than "Coiny The Refinied" and the translation helps understand what a treasure is about way better. The fact that the translation isn't official should be stated on the articles though. &mdash; [[User:GGabryy|'''GGabryy''']]<sub>[[User talk:GGabryy|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:22, June 6, 2024 (CET)
