Also, the glitches you mentioned are interesting, but they aren't really easily reproducible, so they don't really meet our criteria for glitch articles. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | |||
: | :About your suggested screenshots of enemies - you realise the Smoky Progg has a non-reel one further down the page?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | ||

==Voyage Log== | |||
Not to make you feel uncomfortable, but I'd like you thank you for doing Olimar's voyage logs. I spent hours and days last winter doing data entry for the treasure and enemy notes, so I know how it feels. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | |||
:Gee... Thanks. It really is a sort of complicated process, but nonetheless, fairly easy. What you searched yourself was probably some very hard work as well. As for the journal entries themselves, I really believe Nintendo made 60, seeing as the page currently has 53, and I strongly doubt that they made a number as weird as 53 for entries. I'll try to find them all as time passes by. <span style="color:grey;">[SRB2]</span><span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup> | |||
::Not so much hard as tedious, but yeah. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | |||
I think I know the ones you're missing, because I've gotten these entries before. They're listed as enemies: | |||
: | *Puffstool (I got the message before, but I can only remember his drawing of it, no descriptions) | ||
*Beady Long Legs (He points out that the center orb is the "sole weakpoint") | |||
*Burrowing Snagret (His drawing has an arrow that shows where you have to attack) | |||
*Armored Cannon Beetle (He talks about clogging up the airhole) | |||
*Wollwog ("There is a troublesome creature by the water...") | |||
*Candypop Bud (Talks about how it changes Pikmin colors.) | |||
*Goolix (The picture shows Pikmin staring at the Goolix with a question mark. This might be #60 and the last entry.) | |||
*Breadbug (this one's not a definite. But if it is, then this is #61...) [[User:Portal-Kombat|<span style="color:blue">Portal-</span>]][[User_talk:Portal-Kombat|<span style="color:orange">Kombat</span>]] | |||
:Thanks! I've been trying for ever to get those entries, but it's just very hard... I won't give up until I find all 60, though. I added the ones that were missing to my user page. Thanks again. <span style="color:grey;">[SRB2]</span><span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup> | |||
I think this is how I got entries for the enemies while playing Pikmin: | |||
*Do a little bit of damage | |||
*Take a little bit of damage | |||
*Maybe lose a couple Pikmin | |||
*Go to Sunset (Pretty much ensures that nothing else will happen that day to give you a different entry) | |||
This isn't 100% accurate, but it's probably the best way to get the entries. Good luck! (Note: I think that the Breadbug one IS REAL. The picture shows the Breadbug fighting over a pellet with a Pikmin.)[[User:Portal-Kombat|<span style="color:blue">Portal-</span>]][[User_talk:Portal-Kombat|<span style="color:orange">Kombat</span>]] | |||
---- | |||
OK, I'm really gonna need some help if I am to complete the Voyage Log. | |||
*Burrowing Snagret: I tried | |||
**Getting hit by hit | |||
**Throw a Pikmin at it | |||
**Swarm it | |||
**Let some Pikmin get eaten | |||
: | **Swarmed it when it's head got stuck (maybe Olimar points out that it's head gets stuck at times). | ||
And still haven't got it! What else can I do? Any suggestions? | |||
*Candypop bud: Not much to do, but I tried: | |||
**Throwing 10 Pikmin of the same color, and plucking them | |||
**Throwing 10 Pikmin of different colors and plucking them | |||
**Throwing so many Pikmin, it wilted | |||
**Running around it pressing '''A''' :S | |||
No result... I really don't think there's any other thing I can do with it... Suggestions? | |||
*For the other enemies, I'm going to have to try repassing the game, and examining them before I kill them (Beady Long Legs, Puffstool, Breadbug). <span style="color:grey;">[SRB2]</span><span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup> | |||

== Olimar's Monologues == | |||
You probably already know this, but if Olimar takes enough damage so that he almost dies you'll get a monologue. Interestingly enough this stops you from dying from an attack that would have normally killed you!

:: | :Yeah, I knew. Just today I was getting hurt by a fire geyser, and died >_> I then remembered that there is this monologue... I tried later to recall it, but I was to busy trying to complete in 10 days, so I can copy the file to another slot, and on that slot, spend the rest of the 20 days always examining an enemy to see if I can get it's voyage log entry. <span style="color:grey;">[SRB2]</span><span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup> | ||
::Fire's really deadly stuff in Pikmin 1. You're trying to beat it in 10 days? My record's 12. Anyways don't kill the enemy you're examining. Otherwise you probably won't get the notes.

I also heard the "Whooooo" once instead of the classical "Pikmin" in the beginning of the game. It should be random, and with a very low probability of hearing other sounds.

==Follow Up on Japanese Cave Names == | |||
I've been meaning to link you to this for a day or 2, I made a very hacky BMG extractor that hopefully works with every game. [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56043942/Programs/BMG2TXT/bmg2txt.py Here] is a link to the script, it's python (it should work with either version) bmg2txt.py file.bmg (-v -e -c) - the v is for verbose, it doesn't do much right now but it does print some more debug stuff, -e is for extract, and -c is for printing the 1A system arguments/commands, and order of those 3 arguments doesn't matter. | |||
[https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56043942/Programs/BMG2TXT/Pikmin2Eng.txt Here] is the english version, [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56043942/Programs/BMG2TXT/Pikmin2EngCom.txt here] is the english version with commands, [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56043942/Programs/BMG2TXT/Pikmin2Jap.txt here] is the japanese version, [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56043942/Programs/BMG2TXT/Pikmin2JapCom.txt and here] is the japanese version with commands. Haven't gotten my hands on a PAL version tho, but it should work just as well since all I'm doing is seperating the entire DAT1 section into individual bytes, parsing them to either remove, or format the output of commands, and do some newline checks. It's quick and hacky but it works. I can attempt to see what differences there may be/translate it based on english since they're probably almost exactly the same, if you don't want to. Also, you're on your own to figure out what the commands are :P ~[[User:NWPlayer123|NWPlayer123]] 5:14PM 5/31/2014 (MST) | |||
Thanks | :Wait, I'm confused now... Exactly what are the BMG files? I don't remember coming across any BMGs when I messed about the Pikmin 2 ISO... — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 06:45, 1 June 2014 (EDT) | ||
::BMG files are what Nintendo uses to archive and sort text, it's used in games like SMG1, MKW, this, and IDK what else. I found it in pikmin2 > message > mesRes_engUS.szs/whatever other language is there. There's also another one in that folder already extracted but I haven't looked at it yet. You can find a link [http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/BMG_(File_Format) here] for more info on the other sections and such. If you really cared about the internal names from the messages I could try to set up a full extraction, but for now, that's all the visible text data in it. ~[[User:NWPlayer123|NWPlayer123]] 10:29AM 6/1/2014 (MST) | |||
:::Ah, of course. Last time I checked the message folder was ages ago, and I could've sworn they were all one huge text file (pretty sure I opened the .bmg files with Notepad++). I was thinking of making a script to somehow sort the mess inside, but now I don't need to. I don't think the message IDs are really needed, as long as they're in the same order for each language. Thanks for this, I'll take a look at it soon! — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 12:37, 1 June 2014 (EDT) | |||

Hey Espyo. I see you're a big editor on Pikipedia, and I'm pretty sure you're an admin here, if I'm correct. I used to be a former editor on this wiki, but I soon moved to the Pikmin Wikia. You've probably heard of us. Anyways, we can't help but notice that you seem to be the only active editor on this wiki. And that's not all. The things you've been doing for this wiki are things that we at the Pikmin Wikia are unable to get at the moment, such as Ripping textures for all Pikipedia Icons, or make HD maps of the areas in ''Pikmin''. Now, I'm here, on behalf of all Admins on the Pikmin Wikia, and all the other big editors, such as myself, to ask you of something. I would like you to meet the Admins of our Wiki, so we could have a quick discussion, regarding the future of our two wikis. Our admins have requested to talk with you, since you seem to be the most active editor on this wiki. This isn't a direct message for you to come join our wiki, and you might not even want to join our wiki. However, if you feel comfortable, the admins request that they could at least get to meet you and talk things out. The conversation will most likely happen on Skype, so if you agree to sit down and talk to our Admins, I will inform you of all Skype details needed. If Skype can't work out, we will surely find an alternative. Thanks for reading this message (I know it's pretty long), because I know you're a busy guy. I hope to hear back from you soon. | |||

:I accept to discuss on Skype, although IRC could work even better. In fact, I've been wanting to talk this out for years now, and I'm glad that this is something the admins of wikia want as well.

I've noticed a couple of things that didn't get merged at all, especially things regarding the Blonde Imposter from Pikmin 3. Like, that fruit's whole page didn't make it here. There's probably some more stuff that never made it here, too.

:At first I thought you meant stuff that I didn't merge when I manually combined two pages; I explain why [[User talk:Espyo/Pikmin Wiki welcome|here]]. But yeah, I see what you mean. In the case of Blonde Imposter, it's [[Blonde Impostor|here]] – I (European) have checked with [[User:PikFan23|PikFan]] (American), and no version of the game calls it Impost'''e'''r. An imposter is a tax, an impost'''o'''r is a fraud. So I changed the article's name; we didn't have an article on the golden kiwi in Pikipedia. As for other pages, they're probably in other places, with different names. But if you see any other page that you really can't find, let me know, and if it really doesn't exist, GP can import it.

== | == Strategies == | ||
I | 'Ey, Espyo. Pertaining to your comment saying that it's okay to use "you" in battle strategies, I'd like to clarify something that is important to Pikipedia as a whole in order to be as professional as possible. Your use of second person was not inappropriate, and you did a nice job catching it, but when we think of battle strategies for enemies, the sections can be broken up. There is generally an objective, informative part, that explains facts to keep in mind while fighting that apply to anyone, and a subjective part, which describes specific strategies that may work for some but not others. The objective part should use third person, as it is meant to be a formal statement(s), while the subjective should contain second person, as it makes it easier to follow for readers. | ||
I plan to reorganize the battle strategy sections in the fashion I just describe, likely breaking them up into paragraphs accordingly, and I figured it would be best to let you know, as the most active participant on Pikipedia. Feel free to give your feedback on this. Thanks in advance. | |||
-Scittery Leaves23 | |||
:That's actually a funny coincidence! I was just talking to [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]] on the chatroom about how we need a consistent guideline for enemy articles. We're planning on having a section that details the creature's behavior, including its attacks (and stuff like shaking Pikmin off), in an informal, objective, and non-strategy-like fashion. Further down the article, the strategy section would refer to the player as you and contain only information useful for a player, on what to do to beat the video game enemy. I was thinking we need an information box for enemy strategy sections too, with a warning that this section is a guide, it's subjective, etc. I'll post the policy today in just a few minutes, so let me know what you think, too. I definitely understand your view, and like it, but hopefully this new article layout policy will solve all problems. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 18:34, 23 November 2014 (EST) | |||

Hey there Espyo, | |||
I recently downloaded all the online-use quality promotional and character artwork for Pikmin 3 from the Nintendo UK Assets Library. But before I started uploading them en masse I thought I'd ask 1) if they're wanted or if they've already been uploaded, or 2) what categories, templates, etc you would like placed on them, or 3) if you'd rather I dropboxed them to you or another user so you can deal with them on your end.

Hi again. So the Assets Library has somewhere in the ballpark of about 150 Pikmin 3 screenshots available for download on the website, but 1) I don't know what they're of, or what kind of quality you'd be getting, and 2) I know you have the ability to take whatever screens you want already. SO my question is: should I bother downloading them and dropboxing them to you? I honestly don't think I have the patience to upload 150 images one at a time but if you'd like them I could download and dropbox them to you, and then you can sort through the ones you want, if you're interested. Otherwise I'll stick to promo art. [[User:Embyr 75|Embyr 75]] ([[User talk:Embyr 75|talk]]) 15:07, 16 December 2014 (EST) | |||
:Hey. Hmm, best case scenario, they're high quality images – something like 1080p. But that honestly doesn't matter a great deal. You could try uploading just one or two, just so we can't say we don't have anything about them, but honestly, they wouldn't be very useful on the wiki. Don't waste your time.

:It should, but it isn't because Wikia won't let us close it. They don't care if this splits the community and their efforts. They just want money. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:46, 30 May 2015 (EDT) | |||

The photos are scrambled! The photos of the Pikmin 1 beetle are in the Pikmin 2 sections, and vice versa. Shouldn't there be a gallery? http://www.auplod.com/u/opulda57102.png 11:01, 12 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:It doesn't matter much. The beetle looks the same in Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2. We should have a gallery, but we don't have enough images for one. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:14, 12 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
== Thank you! == | |||
Thank you so much for all your help so far on the music articles Espyo! I'm not the greatest at formatting pages like this; the way you've redone it makes a lot more sense! Currently I'm working on recording the boss fight cues in ''Pikmin 2'' so we can display the dissected music in the article and confirm what triggers what cue. Thank you again! [[User:Scruffy|Scruffy]] ([[User talk:Scruffy|talk]]) 17:05, 13 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:No, thank YOU for your incredible work on the articles so far! I absolutely adore how they ended up, and they're not even complete yet! Feel free to improve my page designs even further, of course. And good luck with the rest! Let's both keep working to make these articles excellent. Oh, and as for the boss cues, they're already detailed on the [[Music]] page. Is there something extra that's missing? — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:12, 13 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
::Well, I read the [[Music#Pikmin 2 boss theme|part in the music article]] about the four different short themes that play for the bosses' short attacks, and that got me thinking that I could stream audio from the game, find and extract the shorter boss themes in Audacity, and then post them here. The main boss theme, the "preparing for long attack" theme, and the "boss defeated" theme are all on YouTube, but I can't seem to find a good recording of those short little stingers of music without sound effects heard over them. So I figure I could make my best effort to record them alone, and I'd make sure to be thorough about it. {{unsigned|Scruffy}} | |||

::::Okay, I've uploaded the files and I'll insert them in the article later today, hopefully. Also, I wanted to ask you about ''Pikmin 3'''s music page. There are YouTube links for a good amount of the tracks in ''Pikmin 3'', but I found a website with a huge majority, including the small cutscene themes. The problem is, they are rips from the game, and since the sound effects cannot be turned off, you can hear sound effects in the cutscenes. I know this wiki wants only pure audio when it comes to music, so I was just wondering if I should add in the links at all when I get to ''Pikmin 3'', or just stick to YouTube videos where there is less audio but it's clean, or a combination of the two. [http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/pikmin-3 This is the link to the website]. [[User:Scruffy|Scruffy]] ([[User talk:Scruffy|talk]]) 10:33, 15 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
:::::All right, good luck. I'd say that, at least for the time being, we can focus on just having any way of showing people what the song is, even if imperfect. So yeah, link to the clean track when possible, but when not, use a version with sound effects. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:54, 15 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
==Pikmin wikia stealing photos?== | |||
I've checked their edits and it looks like they took our HD Olimar photo, and maybe some [[Hermit Crawmad]] photos (i'm not sure about that one though). Is that bad? http://www.auplod.com/u/opulda57102.png ([[User talk:CyborgKing0|talk]]) 06:13, 9 July 2015 (EDT) | |||

==Pikmin 3 infobox track== | |||
Hi, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could design a separate infobox class for the area tracks in ''Pikmin 3''. I tried to design it in the sandbox, and I couldn't seem to get it to work. All it needs is the same old title and link, and then an afternoon version, a sunset version, and a "weather" version (for rain or snow). Or if you'd just like me to list these links without an infobox, just let me know. Either way, thank you very much for your help! [[User:Scruffy|Scruffy]] ([[User talk:Scruffy|talk]]) 08:18, 11 July 2015 (EDT) | |||
:No problem! I changed it. Let me know if you need any more or if you'd like it organized in a different way. Chances are that if I have to change the template again, I'm radically changing the way it's designed internally, because it's a bit of a non-flexible nightmare at the moment. So if you have some track that, for instance, has a sunset version without an afternoon version, the current layout won't work. You can check out the new parameters on the [[:Template:Infobox track|documentation]]. If you can think of a better alternative for "precipitation", let me know. (I didn't feel like over-complicating the template even further by having it distinguish between rain and snow. Though again, if I have to change it in the future, I might as well do that too.) — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 08:35, 11 July 2015 (EDT) | |||
::That's perfect! All the area tracks have all three extra versions, so this will do fine for now. And "precipitation" is perfect for this! Thanks again! [[User:Scruffy|Scruffy]] ([[User talk:Scruffy|talk]]) 08:41, 11 July 2015 (EDT) | |||
== Your typo in the Boss Beeb that has spiked balls == | |||
For the Beeb that has spiked balls, it's Greater '''Studded''' Beeb, not Greater '''Bladed''' Beeb! Why would you think that Beeb is Greater Bladed Beeb? [[Special:Contributions/73.151.171.171|73.151.171.171]] 21:53, 8 December 2015 (EST) | |||

== the | ==Pikmin Fan engine on the Pikmin Fanon== | ||
Hey anonymous user here like your fanon engine and will you add anything soon? | |||
Also adding to the Beeb/Baub/Studded/Bladed thingy i have all 200 trophies in nintendo land so i can get any Pikmin adventure info. Its also the only Nintendo land game i play anyway. | |||
:Hi there. Yeah, I'm always working on the engine, so sit tight, and eventually you'll hear more news. As for Nintendo Land info, feel free to add any information you see is missing! — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:46, 8 January 2016 (EST) | |||

Also I've tried to email you like 4 time about ideas for the Pikmin Fan engine but it will not let me. | |||
: | :My inbox is working fine, so I don't know. But you can post the ideas here or on the Fanon wiki, if you want. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:09, 10 January 2016 (EST) | ||
Ok so well here, i think you should add more ship than the hocotate one. Also a Steam user found a unused Bulborb enemy for Pikmin 3. | |||
It has a Brown face like the Whiptongue or a Snowy Bulborb and has white spots and a white back. It also has Yellow eyes. Overrall, it looks like a whiptongue based skin for the Red or Orange Bulborb. | |||
:Remember: the engine is just that, an engine. Pikmin fans are the ones that are meant to create content for it, and this includes ships. What I do is that I include some example content with the engine so people can play around, and I chose to include the Hocotate ship, because why not. It should be easy to create any other ship, either for me or for any other person that uses the engine. | |||
:As for the Bulborb, that is just a myth. I checked the game files along with other Pikipedia folk, and we reached the conclusion that that "white" texture is just a special texture the game uses for the lighting and such – all enemies in the game have such a texture. | |||
Ok thanks for both those tips ok. | |||
== | ==Louie/Drake Discovery== | ||
Didn't you discover Character D/Drake to be Louie in the games files indicating that Louie was the 4th playable character in Pikmin 3? | |||
:Not really. All main characters in the game are called "Player", followed by a letter. PlayerA, PlayerB, and PlayerC are the three main leaders, PlayerD is Louie, and PlayerE is Olimar. It makes sense for the game to treat Louie and Olimar like regular characters because they appear as bubbles on the day selection screen, you can play as them in Mission Mode and Bingo Battle, etc. Other than that, there is absolutely '''no''' information in the game about the mysterious long-haired purple-looking fellow that fans nickname "Character D" or "Drake". — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 09:22, 11 January 2016 (EST) | |||
Well i was lied to. Anyone who sees this tell DazzReviews that Character D still existed. | |||
