==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. [[User:CrazyCow|CrazyCow]] ([[User talk:CrazyCow|talk]]) 18:14, 13 January 2019 (EST)
::Oops I meant "fandom" not fanon sorry [[User:CrazyCow|CrazyCow]] ([[User talk:CrazyCow|talk]]) 18:23, 13 January 2019 (EST)

:::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)

:::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... If this value is not definite, then documenting that will be a problem as well. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:21, 19 January 2019 (EST)

== Quick question ==

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. [[User:Amnesiacjournal|Amnesiacjournal]] ([[User talk:Amnesiacjournal|talk]]) 10:32, 22 September 2017 (EDT)
: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 posted a question regarding a video I found in the Pikmin 3 unused Content talk page, with a pikmin eating candypop bud, do you think you can find out if it's real, P.S. I have the name of the video and the publisher on the talk page.[[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 10:22, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

Hello, should the Names in other languages be in its own section down at the bottom of the page or should they be a subsection to Naming? I'm wondering because I've seen both. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] ([[User talk:Raltseye|talk]]) 10:19, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
:Hi. It should be a sub-section inside the naming section. I'm currently in the middle of cleaning up all naming sections, and I haven't gotten to that part yet. Rest assured, I'll take care of it in the following days. Sorry for the confusion! Also, our [[Pikipedia:Policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines]] sometimes explain how we should try to organize pages, so you can check there if you're ever curious. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:37, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

==Piklopedia Deaths==
Sorry for the confusion. I actually posted another message on [[Talk:Piklopedia]] earlier. For the Hermit Crawmad, the glitch I was referring to was the glitch that kills a small Hermit Crawmad when you walk into it while it is petrified. 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)

== Duplicates? ==

Are there any differences detween these two that I don't see?

==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)

Hey, this is IAMAHIPO_ocolor- I'm worried about people searching for that name if anybody found it who I know in real life and finding my old user page which is just the cringiest thinf I've ever read.

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.

: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.

== Undiscovered glitch? ==

Hey, Espyo!
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!

Hello
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. Some pages, like Alph’s, were completely messed up. I’m fixing as many as I can, but there are a lot of stuff wrong. Is there any way that they can be banned? The username is 172.58.56.130.

Hi, I've recorded a video some weeks ago about a glitch that happened to me when I was playing Pikmin on Dolphin.

== Apology for my edit of Infernal Vegetable ==

It was all my fault of editing unnecessary description of Japanese pronunciation. If I may make excuses, that edit was an act according to my conscience.

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.

I apologize you and all editors adding unnecessary description that relates to sensitive area. -[[User:PortableSunset|PortableSunset]] ([[User talk:PortableSunset|talk]]) 09:43, March 18, 2021 (EDT)

: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. But thankfully it's not that complex, and we can just keep the Romanization as it is without any issue. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:53, March 18, 2021 (EDT)

==Category:Map images, Category:Radar patterns, and Category:Maps==
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.
