Hello, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Pikipedia, a Wiki with information regarding Pikmin. The administration thanks you for registering, and has provided some useful links to help familiarize yourself with rules, regulations and other such facilities. We hope you like the place and decide to stay.
==Hey! Pikmin enemy stats==
Hi Espyo. I've noticed that nearly every single Hey! Pikmin enemy stat table isn't filled out, or is only partially filled out, so I've been wondering if pikipedia can change it. This is probably because much of the categories (Weight, max carriers, regen, and seeds (pikmin seeds) are irrelevant as none of these mechanics are used in that game. Pikipedia was should probably invent a different stats table exclusive to Hey! Pikmin enemies. For enemies that appear in hey! Pikmin and other games (bulborb, fiery blowhog), there can be 2 different stats tables for those enemies, one for the main games, and one for H!P. I was thinking we can delete the max carriers, weight, and regen categories, and replace the seeds with sparklium, which some enemies drop upon death. We can also fix the health category by putting in the number of pikmin/pikmin hits needed to kill it, since there seems to not be any health values recorded. Although this would be smaller, the stats table would be more accurate. Maybe we can even come up with a new stats like speed. -CrazyCow
:Hi. Hm, that sounds like a good idea. The enemies do have a health number, and we can get that from the game files. It's just that nobody's done that yet. Pointing down the number of Pikmin throws it takes to kill isn't as reliable, especially because different Pikmin types cause different amounts of damage (I think). I'm also not sure if any enemy regenerates. If you could confirm that, that'd be nice. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:59, 10 January 2019 (EST)


::Okey. So it seems like different Pikmin types do different damages (Reds do more, Wingeds do less). It seems like no one has really recorded the health, as the pikmin technological base wiki only supplies the internal names of enemies, and basically nothing else. Although we can measure the health using Yellow and Blue Pikmin, which mostly are referred to do "normal" damage, it wouldn't be a very accurate way to do this. However, most enemies in the game only need on hit to kill, regardless of the pikmin type, but the value of this is still uncertain. Some tables have 0 filled out in this case, while the Pikmin Fanon, another pikmin site has them filled out as 1. Oh yeah, and no enemy regenerates, as the corpses disappear and none do it like the Plasm Wraith. Perhaps we can use the technical damage used by Yellows and Blues from other games, and multiply that damage by the amount of hits to kill? Thanks for your feedback.

:::Note that the wiki on fandom has been abandoned for years, and is filled with misinformation. Other than that, the values do exist in the files, as I've seen them. It's just that they never got documented anywhere by anyone. I want to find the time to do that one day... We could measure from the number of hits of a "normal" Pikmin, but there are a few problems. For one thing, there's the human error; a person counting dozens of hits by hand is bound to accidentally miscount one or two, and the situation becomes harder if, for instance, a Pikmin decides to jump on the enemy's back. Plus, I'm sure some enemies only appear in stages that only feature certain types of non-normal Pikmin. Getting the values from the game files and setting stuff up similarly to how the mainline games's stats table works should be easy enough. I'll try to do that as soon as I can. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 18:35, 14 January 2019 (EST)
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}}


:::Okay, this is not going to be easy. Finding which files correspond to which enemies is a nightmare in and of itself. Then, we need to check if those health parameters in the files are even read by the game or not. I think this might need to be a mission for another time... &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:02, 19 January 2019 (EST)

::::Okay. I guess we can keep it the same for now and just focus on filling out the seeds dropped, which is a pretty definite value. There are also more important things to do, like cleaning those articles up, so I guess we should wait a while until we do this.

:::::Agreed! Though... while checking the game files, I could've sworn I found some fields that allow the area developers to override the seeds that an enemy can give...

==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>

Can you shoot me an email-- wait, nevermind, I found a way to the google doc through my recently accessed docs. Just so you're aware, there's no way to the list of files the wiki still needs for H!P that I can find ON the wiki.

I think I know the ones you're missing, because I've gotten these entries before. They're listed as enemies:
:That list is more or less private. Plus, it's temporary. When we only have a few of them left to go, I'll make a list on the wiki proper, but till then, we'll use the document just to get a running start. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:12, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

== Pikmin 3 beta elements ==
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>]]

Sorry for the confusion. I actually posted another message on [[Talk:Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)]] earlier.

My thoughts when testing this were: "If the glitch works for leaders and Pikmin, then it should probably work for Pikpik Carrots too, since they ''do'' count as Pikmin. There isn't any reason for the glitch not to work in the Piklopedia." {{User:Mariotime315/sig}} 16:42, 7 November 2016 (EST)

==Problem with the notes==
 
Hi Espyo. I found a difference in [[Notes:Orange Bulborb/olimargc|the notes of the Orange Bulborb]] between the GC and Wii (Europe only) versions of the game. As such, I made [[Notes:Orange Bulborb/olimarwiieu|this]]. I thought it'd work like the notes for the treasures, so I tried putting Notes|olimar=y|olimarwiieu=y|louie=y, but it didn't work. I guess I shouldn't have created this page, but I'm a bit lost as to how I can include those notes in the article. How can I include them while keeping the GC notes? Thanks!
:I'll come up with a richer system for the notes later today. Hopefully that'll be enough. You can leave the page as it is, and it'll work when I set this up. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:44, 29 December 2016 (EST)

== a couple of things ==
 
First off I was wondering if any info on that "mimic bud" I talked about awhile ago was uncovered, according to the video description
it's internal name is "NamaPongashi" if that helps any, and also out of curiousity, your name wouldn't happen to be based on a certain pink ninja chamelian would it?[[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 21:04, 8 February 2017 (EST)
:I haven't taken a look yet. BielR3 did do some research, of course, but his info isn't enough to reach any meaningful conclusions... I'll try to find the time to take a peek soon. Although if its name is "nama", that translates to "raw", or "unprocessed", so I think it makes more sense to assume that this plant is just a regular Candypop Bud before its parameters are set. So it's not an object in and of itself, it's just a "default" state for the Bud. And probably! I got my nickname when I was into Sonic, so that ''very'' likely influenced it, but I can't remember for sure. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 03:59, 9 February 2017 (EST)
 
I see, anyway on a nonrelated related Pikmin topic. Have you ever read the fanfiction by Sarsars "My adventure with Olimar"?
I just got done reading it, it's like the first Pikmin game, but several things have changed, mainly new monsters, and bosses appearance and attack pattern are different.[[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 09:33, 9 February 2017 (EST)
:I haven't. I don't usually read fanfics. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:01, 9 February 2017 (EST)
 
I know it's been awhile, but I just had a thought, if this "Mimic bud" is just a default bud, then why would it kill the Pikmin? Unless I'm missing something, wouldn't it just revert them to seeds rather then killing them? Like say, throwing reds into a Crimson Candypop bud, for example..... [[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 13:17, 25 May 2017 (EDT)
:Maybe when the Pikmin goes in, the game first kills the original Pikmin that got inserted, and then checks the Candypop's data to see what new Pikmin to spit out. If it has this data, it spits out a brand new Pikmin of the right type. If it doesn't have the data, it just doesn't do anything. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:56, 25 May 2017 (EDT)

Is the time of an edit set to a certain time zone? For me, it's 9:52 PM, October 12, and I made an edit a few minutes ago. But the contribs said that I made the edit on October 13, but it's definitely October 12 for me. It doesn't really matter, I just want to know.

I've seen that you uploaded images of amiibo in Hey! Pikmin and I'm currently adding them in the amiibo pages. However, I wanted to ask if it's possible to focus only on the amiibo, and remove the things around them, such as the navigation tabs for the treasures, enemies, or the camera icon, for example. If you don't see what I mean, just look at the pictures I've made in the [[Oversized Replica]] and [[Exhausted Soldier]] pages. It's not important, but I want to know.

:I think we should have both. Keep the unchanged screenshots somewhere in the gallery, and when it comes to images for the infoboxes at the top of pages, we should use cropped images.

== New article ==  
== Nintendo Intro ==
Should there be a new article called '''Out of Bounds'''? I have discovered at least 7 places (In ''Pikmin 3'') where it is possible to get out of bounds. If so, the article could have all the possible places to get out of bounds.
Also, is there any way that I can make a new page for me, to add things like my signature? [[File:Yellow Pikmin icon.png|link=Yellow Pikmin||x24px]][[User:Ben|<b><span style="color:orange">B</span></b>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ben|T]]</sup> 10:52, 28 October 2018 (EDT)
:Hm, that sounds like a good idea, actually! Go for it. And if you want to create a page for yourself, for you to test around things in or write personal notes, you can create a user page under your name. What this means is that you can create a page called "User:Ben/tests", replacing "tests" with whatever you want. You can create a new page by using the form on the Main Page, or by entering the URL for the page you want in your internet browser, and then clicking the button to create a page that shows up. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:57, 28 October 2018 (EDT)

Hey, Espyo!
== Moving articles ==
I was playing New Play Control! Pikmin and something weird happened. I had my Pikmin get the Gravity Jumper, when I realized that I didn’t build the bridge OR destroy any walls in the entire Forest Navel. I went to find some Bomb Rocks, when the Pikmin somehow got to the ship with the part! When I had last seen them, they were confused not knowing where to go! Was it some sort of glitch? I scanned the area, but couldn’t find any way they could have made it to the Dolphin.  So did I miss something, because I’ve only had the game for a few days, or is this an undiscovered glitch?
Thanks!

I was going through the recent changes when I saw one that was highly inappropriate. I checked their other edits and noticed they were either very rude/offensive, and most of all, very untrue.

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.

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.

== Small glitch ==
== Strategies ==


Hi, I've recorded a video some weeks ago about a glitch that happened to me when I was playing Pikmin on Dolphin. I don't know what to do with it (I don't think it needs a whole section in the Glitches article), and I wanted your opinion on this phenomenon. It's just some sliding Nectar in The Forest Navel. It already happened to me in the past (if I remember well), but it's the first time that I could record it.  
'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.

: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.

One day I watched Pikmin live streaming with many Japanese fans and some non-Japanese ones, One poor Japanese fan, Who wanted to tell "Ultra-bitter spray", but cannot speak English at all, chatted its compressed name in Romanization of Japanese (though it doesn't make any sense at all), "niga(bitter)". As you know it's morally evil in English, The atmosphere in that streaming suddenly become freaking out, and had a bad time (of course I explained what it means and told everyone). I remembered that painful memory until I edited [[Infernal Vegetable]], and thought someone will make the same mistake again, I noted. However on second thought, people who should know that are Japanese fan, but not non-Japanese speakers, since non-Japanese speakers don't have chance to even know that Japanese word... After that is exact the same with your editing note.
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)

:It's all right, don't worry about it. Your story shows that some people are a bit too sensitive. The word is very taboo, but it's not the fault of the Japanese word for "bitter". If a person is using the n-word as it is, they should be careful, and if they are saying it on purpose, that's not good. But if they're just innocently talking about the spray, it's just a coincidence. Either way, I respect that you were worried about any misunderstandings.

==Category:Map images, Category:Radar patterns, and Category:Maps==
== Pikmin Wiki ==
At the moment, [[:Category:Map images]], [[:Category:Radar patterns]], and [[:Category:Maps]] are very disorganized categories. From what I can tell, [[:Category:Map images]] is a very old category for map-type images, [[:Category:Radar patterns]] is specifically for textures of maps from the radar, and [[:Category:Maps]] is where [[:Template:File info]] places images with the type of Map. There's a lot of overlap in what types of images they cover, particularly in the case of [[:Category:Map images]] and [[:Category:Maps]]. In order to sort out this mess, I propose that [[:Category:Maps]] be merged with [[:Category:Map images]] by editing [[:Template:File info]], and all the radar textures in [[:Category:Map images]] be moved to [[:Category:Radar patterns]] (over time, as there are several), and all the non-maps in [[:Category:Map images]] be removed.

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)

It is too late at night for me to reliably work out how to make hyperlinks work given my current bout of illness, so forgive the plaintext here, but on the article for " https://www.pikminwiki.com/Glitches_in_Pikmin_3#Hard_to_reproduce ", the link next to the "Hard to reproduce" entry for "By changing from a leader that is in the Sandbelching Meerslug's fight to a leader that is elsewhere just before the boss is defeated, the game may show the defeat cutscene with the camera underground, and may then lock up. " has been edited at some point to link to a clip of an unrelated Joe Rogan podcast. I am uncertain how to revert the page to the relevant prior version, especially since the edit history seems to show a lock was placed on the page just yesterday, presumably due to other vandalism which was caught.

==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.) &mdash; '''{''[[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)


:You can just report vandalism to my user talk page like you did here. You can also undo the vandalism and I'll eventually catch it in the recent changes. If it's urgent, you can find me on the Pikcord Discord server. Now, as for that video in particular...looks like that was me :P I remember laughing hard at it back then, so I must've copy-pasted the URL to share with other people, then went to copy-paste the glitch video to put on the wiki but the "copy" part must've failed. Anyway I was able to find the intended video, so I've fixed the page. That said, I can't find any lock on the page whatsoever. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:14, February 19, 2023 (EST)
== Your typo in the Boss Beeb that has spiked balls ==


:Ah, gotcha. I read in the page-change history that a lock had been added, but it was an update summary message I didn't want to test in the state I was in, as to avoid gumming up the works.

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)

== A question about Pikcross ==
==Pikmin Fan engine on the Pikmin Fanon==
Hey anonymous user here like your fanon engine and will you add anything soon?


Hello! On the April Fool's article, it says you're the programmer for the Pikcross April Fool's game, so I figure you're probably best suited to answer this question. I come asking on behalf of the Mario Wiki if it would be fine to use the Pikcross source code for an upcoming community event, as there's plans to include Picross puzzles as part of it, and the Pikcross game engine more than meets the requirements for having an in-browser Picross engine. This would be a modified version of Pikcross, hosting its own puzzles and presumably hosting its own graphics as well, but using the pre-existing code as a basis for it.
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! &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:46, 8 January 2016 (EST)


I figured since the source code is freely linked in the article itself, it's probably alright, but I wanted to ask just in case there's any problems with attribution or what-have-you. [[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] ([[User talk:Camwoodstock|talk]]) 14:46, April 28, 2023 (EDT)
Ok thanks and I can try to do the Nintendo land stuff.
Also I've tried to email you like 4 time about ideas for the Pikmin Fan engine but it will not let me.


:Hey. I never gave the code a license, so it befalls under the wiki's standard CC BY SA 3.0. Even if I did bother to add a license I'd probably pick that. So just be sure to give proper attribution, and knock yourself out! The engine is slightly glitchy here and there, since I never had time to iron out the kinks, but it should be pretty well-documented and organized. If you come up with any improvements, please let me know so I can backport them to Pikcross. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:35, April 29, 2023 (EDT)
: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. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:09, 10 January 2016 (EST)


== the Vanilla sees ==
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.


Yeah, I can understand that, but having those sections labeled as No would be kinda implying that those abilities aren't in the game which would be misleading. hence why I added links to the relevent articles (which took me awhile to figure out how to do). was kinda meant to be more accurate then possibly implying said abilities debuted in 4 with the upgrade.[[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 20:21, August 21, 2023 (EDT)
: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 &ndash; all enemies in the game have such a texture.


:Then I'd say that, in the table, the way we describe "same but different-named" abilities, or the way you want to describe "it's a vanilla feature", or both, has to change. Can't quite think of the best way off the top of my head. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:06, August 22, 2023 (EDT)
Ok thanks for both those tips ok.


::Only thing I can think of is adding like a cite I think? (little number like  a squared) or an asterisc, I think that's what it's called * saying it's a basic feauture in said games. Though I dunno, without reference to what said ability is feels worse somehow..... [[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 23:20, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
==Louie/Drake Discovery==


:::We can well document both things in the table. I think the only problem might be to find text that's short enough. "No, but a similar upgrade called '''X''' exists" and "No, but the feature exists by default" work to document the table well, but they're both very long. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 04:03, August 29, 2023 (EDT)
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?


Dunno if it'd be possible or how it'd be done, but what about having the No, but have the No be clickable to link to the proper page/sections? [[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 03:42, November 16, 2023 (EST)
: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". &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 09:22, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Yep, that was why I said "I'll suppose its like as in Pikmin Fanon", which I was asking if the way to requestion like from Pikmin Fanon, of requesting on their userpage. If so, then I would choose to me to be renamed to "Blower Pot", following my Pikmin Fanon rename? {{User:Blower Pot/sig}}
