This page is where users dump their ideas for [[Pikipedia:Poll|polls]], as well as improve existing ones, or vote whether they like them or not. These decisions are for what polls the wiki should have, not for what poll will be next. Details on the process behind a poll's life cycle can be found in the [[Pikipedia:Poll policy|policy page]].
This page is where users suggest their ideas for [[Pikipedia:Poll|polls]], as well as comment on other poll ideas or vote on whether they like them or not. These decisions are for what polls should be asked on the wiki, not for what poll will be next. New poll ideas should start out in the "Ideas that need work" section, and once it's clear that the poll doesn't have problems and is ready to be asked, a staff member can move it to the "Ready ideas" section. Note that staff members selecting the next poll can choose ideas from either section.

**** I don't think it's fair to compare the design of stages from a 2D puzzle-ish side scroller to those of 3D real-time strategy games. They're naturally going to be designed differently to suit their respective gameplay styles (and limitations of the hardware.) But since Hey Pikmin doesn't have any peers in the series, there's not really anything close you ''can'' compare it to. So I'm not sure on this one.

* Depending on how this poll is received, polls for the other games could be submitted as well.  (With any changes, of course) [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 14:11, April 30, 2022 (EDT)
* Is this referring to the first game, or to the whole series? If the former, then there's [[Pikipedia:Poll/archived ideas#How do you feel about the first Pikmin game's time limit?|a similar idea above]]. Maybe they could both be merged? &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:07, May 21, 2022 (EDT)
**First game.  That's the issue with having a series and game with the same name.  I'm not too sure about the merge, though.  The questions are somewhat similar, but I feel they're still somewhat different. [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 19:33, June 18, 2022 (EDT)
*** I've reworded the poll to have "''Pikmin 1''" instead now that that name is acceptable.

# The game may be over a decade old, but as players like myself learn how to play more efficiently, they would see their opinions on the game's difficulty and time limit change (for example, I struggled to make it to the Forest Navel as a kid, but now my best run in the game is 12 days.) I wouldn't think this poll could achieve any concrete entries as many who have played Pikmin 1 in the past would probably find it much easier or even harder today. |\|TechnoMan|/| (talk) 21:13, 18 July 2017 (CDT)

* Perhaps this question could be reworked, so instead of being "What Pikmin 1/2 area would you most like to see remastered using Pikmin 3's engine?", it could be "What area would you most like to see brought back and updated in a future ''Pikmin'' game?". That way it wouldn't be so unrealistic, and could also cover ''Pikmin 3'' areas. Though, the resulting poll would have a lot of options. Perhaps some of the areas in ''Pikmin'' and their ''Pikmin 2'' counterparts could be combined in the poll options. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:36, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

==There are a few groups of enemies which are all variants of each other, such as Bulborbs, Spectralids, and Dweevils. What are your thoughts on there being multiple variants of enemies?==
* I think the re-releases are great and that ''Pikmin'' games should be re-released on more consoles.
* I think there should be more variants of enemies.
* I think the re-releases that already exist are good and there doesn't need to be more of them.
* I think the existing games have a good amount of enemy variants.
* I like the re-releases, but Nintendo should be prioritizing new games, even if it means there are fewer total ''Pikmin'' games.
* I think there should be less variants of enemies.
* I don't like the re-releases; the original games are good enough.
* I think enemy variants should be implemented differently.

# (Nominator:) I noticed that the Super Mario Wiki has polls that are much more specific than ours with much more detailed possible answers. It's hard for us to have very specific polls since we have far less content, but we can still try some polls with more complex answers like this, for more variation in the styles of poll. The re-releases of the ''Pikmin'' series is a good option for this. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 18:32, August 21, 2021 (EDT)

** I was thinking more in general, because, for Pikmin and Pikmin 2, some people prefer the standard button and stick controls, and some people refer the Wii remote's pointer.  I figured this question to be across the whole series, so I guess it is kinda redundant in the area of P3DX, but maybe some people's opinions differ between games?  Or maybe this question should be split off to ask whether they prefer the control types for each game.

Similar polls could work for other games, though I limited this one to ''Pikmin 3'' to avoid cross-game comparisons. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 05:39, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

# This one feels kind of... iffy.  I'm not sure how one could really have a favorite hazard - I mean, they're ''all'' bad, right?  People would just gravitate towards whatever does the least damage and/or is the easiest to avoid.  Fire, water, and poison are also more-or-less the same thing.  Unless this poll is about people's favorite ways to kill Pikmin.  And that's simultaneously fantastic, and something that would probably never happen.  I'm open to changing my mind, but for right now I'll stick (rather lightly) to this corner.  -[[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 20:04, November 29, 2022 (EST)

**** The poll could be split up into bosses per area (but the Empress Bulblax kinda messes that up a bit), and there could be some sort of mystical fifth poll with the winners of the other four, to find out which is the best... or maybe not.  I don't know.

Which Pikmin game has the best area design?

  • Pikmin
  • Pikmin 2
  • Pikmin 3
  • Pikmin 4

  1. (Nominator:) Each game has quite different approaches to designing its areas, so a poll like this could see what people think about each one. — Soprano(talk) 19:47, November 10, 2020 (EST)

  • Hey! and 2 seem outclassed in this poll. — Bossclips(talk) 13:14, November 30, 2020 (EST)
    • Actually yeah, H!P probably doesn't make much sense since it's in a genre of its own. Don't get what you mean about 2 being outclassed though. Should I remove H!P from the options? — {EspyoT} 13:25, June 1, 2021 (EDT)
      • Hey! Pikmin still has area design, even if it's done in a totally different way to the 3D games. It's still comparable enough in my opinion. — Soprano(talk) 03:01, August 8, 2021 (EDT)
        • I don't think it's fair to compare the design of stages from a 2D puzzle-ish side scroller to those of 3D real-time strategy games. They're naturally going to be designed differently to suit their respective gameplay styles (and limitations of the hardware.) But since Hey Pikmin doesn't have any peers in the series, there's not really anything close you can compare it to. So I'm not sure on this one. Midnight blue (talk) 18:55, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
          • Guess that's settled, no H!P. — {EspyoT} 12:04, September 5, 2021 (EDT)

  • Depending on how this poll is received, polls for the other games could be submitted as well. (With any changes, of course) Burrhead2 (talk) 14:11, April 30, 2022 (EDT)
  • Is this referring to the first game, or to the whole series? If the former, then there's a similar idea above. Maybe they could both be merged? — {EspyoT} 11:07, May 21, 2022 (EDT)
    • First game. That's the issue with having a series and game with the same name. I'm not too sure about the merge, though. The questions are somewhat similar, but I feel they're still somewhat different. Burrhead2 (talk) 19:33, June 18, 2022 (EDT)
      • I've reworded the poll to have "Pikmin 1" instead now that that name is acceptable. That said, the poll is very similar to the time limit one, so it should wait a while before being asked. — Soprano(talk) 00:14, February 1, 2024 (EST)

  • Hm, I'm not too sure about these options. Three of them are pretty much the same option. I like the idea of choosing between something like multiplayer and content sharing, but the more I think about it, the more I don't think this will work well. Everyone will want to be able to play real-time multiplayer. Something like custom stage sharing implies custom stage creation, which is an entire can of worms in and of itself. — {EspyoT} 11:51, August 9, 2021 (EDT)
    • Hmm, I see your point. This poll sounds cool but is very difficult to come up with options with. Perhaps it'll have to wait until someone has better ideas for options. — Soprano(talk) 00:00, October 3, 2021 (EDT)

  • I'll note that I only supported this poll idea after I got interested in glitches in the series, which shows that it's a bit of a weird question to ask to people who haven't really thought about glitches much. — Soprano(talk) 01:28, September 16, 2022 (EDT)

What is your favorite Bulborb type?

  • Red Bulborb
  • Hairy Bulborb
  • Orange Bulborb
  • Whiptongue Bulborb
  • Spotty Bulbear
  • Emperor Bulblax
  • Empress Bulblax
  • Fiery Bulblax

Support

  1. (Nominator:) Since we did Pikmin types, why not do Bulborbs? We dont have any polls around enemies (that I know of), so this can be cool and unique. The Bulborb is also as recognizable as the Pikmin themselves, and are part of the biggest family in the series (grub-dog). This also includes Bulblaxes and Bulbears, but we can get rid of them if there are too many options. I also think Bulborb Larvae are too similar to Dwarf Bulborbs (same with Dwarf Bulbears) even though they're technically grub-dogs. — CrazyCow October 1, 2019

    • I also like it; a "Which Bulborb type would you rather have as a pet?" question is a fun and quirky question that would get people to think. — Soprano(talk) 22:55, December 13, 2021 (EST)
  • Not much opportunity for discussion on this one other than "it look cute :)". Maybe if it was something like "which bulborb is the hardest to combat", and the list was shortened to only the more difficult ones. — Bossclips(talk) 13:14, November 30, 2020 (EST)
  • Maybe we could ask the question of which one is hardest/most annoying to fight, since I think players would have something to say about that. Midnight blue (talk) 18:45, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
    • That might not be very interesting, since the bosses would obviously win. — {EspyoT} 12:04, September 5, 2021 (EDT)
  • We'd need to decide what types of Bulborbs are included for this poll. Just regular-size Bulborbs, or dwarf-size Bulborbs too? What about Bulblaxes? — Soprano(talk) 00:14, February 1, 2024 (EST)

What would the optimal number of areas in a Pikmin game be?

  • 1 big area
  • 2 to 3

Support

  1. (Nominator:) Another fanon-style poll, asking about the number of areas in the ideal Pikmin game. It could also be phrased as "If you were designing a Pikmin game, how many areas would it have?" It may leave out a lot of nuance (such as area size), and it may have a lot of options (edit: I reduced the number of options), but it could still be a good poll. — Soprano(talk) 04:28, June 21, 2021 (EDT)

  • Now that Pikmin 4 has come out with 6 main areas, is this question still possible to ask? — Soprano(talk) 21:56, August 25, 2023 (EDT)

There are a few groups of enemies which are all variants of each other, such as Bulborbs, Spectralids, and Dweevils. What are your thoughts on there being multiple variants of enemies?

  • I think there should be more variants of enemies.
  • I think the existing games have a good amount of enemy variants.
  • I think there should be less variants of enemies.
  • I think enemy variants should be implemented differently.

Support

  1. (Nominator:) Another more complex poll idea about something people might have an opinion on. — Soprano(talk) 00:52, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

  • Might be okay for a more "bottom of the barrel" poll. Maybe the first sentence of the question can be removed, though. Or maybe like "What do you think about enemy variants? (e.g. all the Dweevil recolors)" — {EspyoT} 13:06, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

  • Analog stick
  • Motion controls

  • We currently have a poll nominee asking about control schemes specific to Deluxe, so would this question be redundant? —Midnight blue (talk) 19:16, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
    • I was thinking more in general, because, for Pikmin and Pikmin 2, some people prefer the standard button and stick controls, and some people refer the Wii remote's pointer. I figured this question to be across the whole series, so I guess it is kinda redundant in the area of P3DX, but maybe some people's opinions differ between games? Or maybe this question should be split off to ask whether they prefer the control types for each game. Burrhead2 (talk) 19:33, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
      • I think this question can still work, but it should be rewritten. Instead of saying "Do you prefer button or pointer controls?" (which is ambiguous), it should say "Do you prefer to control the cursor with motion controls or the analog stick?" There should also only be 2 options, because otherwise a lot of people would pick the neutral option. — Soprano(talk) 04:45, August 29, 2021 (EDT)
        • Works for me. Burrhead2 (talk) 15:36, August 29, 2021 (EDT)

Which is the most annoying enemy in Pikmin 3?

  • Arachnode
  • Dessicated Skitter Leaf
  • Flighty Joustmite
  • Puckering Blinnow
  • Skeeterskate
  • Swarming Sheargrub
  • Other

  1. (Nominator:) This is more of a fun and silly poll. There are a bunch of enemies in the Pikmin series that are often considered annoying by players, and it could be interesting to have a poll on which one people find the most annoying. The options I picked are enemies commonly noted as particularly annoying. Similar polls could work for other games, though I limited this one to Pikmin 3 to avoid cross-game comparisons. — Soprano(talk) 05:39, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

Which is the best-designed hazard?

  • Fire
  • Water
  • Electricity
  • Poison
  • Ice

Support

  1. (Nominator:) A simple poll to see which of the four basic hazards people like the most. The additional hazards of crushing, stabbing, and explosions could potentially be added to the list of options, though I think it would be better with just 4. — Soprano(talk) 16:46, November 24, 2022 (EST)
  2. As per the reply to my opposition, if this poll is about hazards from a game design perspective, I think this could be quite interesting. But it might need to be renamed to specify this. I also am absolutely not opposed to having more options. I guess I've been nudged over the fence and a bit into "support" territory. -Burrhead2 (talk) 11:24, November 30, 2022 (EST)

  1. Does one have a favorite hazard? If so it would be the least annoying one, cause the least favorite hazard would go right to the insta-kill one (Electricity). --PastelP (talk) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)
  2. This one feels kind of... iffy. I'm not sure how one could really have a favorite hazard - I mean, they're all bad, right? People would just gravitate towards whatever does the least damage and/or is the easiest to avoid. Fire, water, and poison are also more-or-less the same thing. Unless this poll is about people's favorite ways to kill Pikmin. And that's simultaneously fantastic, and something that would probably never happen. I'm open to changing my mind, but for right now I'll stick (rather lightly) to this corner. -Burrhead2 (talk) 20:04, November 29, 2022 (EST)
    • I was originally going to word this as "Which is the best hazard", to make it clear that the question is about game design, but poll ideas in the past that have featured "the best" have often had that replaced with "your favorite" because it makes it clearer that the poll is subjective. But considering these reactions, I think that using "the best" would result in a more useful poll. Do you think it would be better if it was reworded in that way? — Soprano(talk) 21:59, November 29, 2022 (EST)
  3. Which game is this about? Becuse in my opinion, Pikmin 2's electricity is the worst hazard, but 3's electricity is almost too genius, so it's hard to vote. Mama09001 (talk) 02:43, May 27, 2024 (EDT)
    • You've got a great point, it would definitely be necessary to mention which game to put this in. I think 2, 3, or 4 could work, preferably 4 because electricity is at its most balanced. Deeb1324354657 (talk) 22:50, July 31, 2024 (EDT)

  1. (Nominator:) We've had boss polls in the past for Pikmin 3 and Hey! Pikmin, so we may as well have one for Pikmin 2, which also has clearly-defined bosses. However, with 12 options, this would be our largest poll yet, and would take up a lot of space on the Main Page. — Soprano(talk) 19:11, November 24, 2022 (EST)

  • I like the idea, but I think there's too many choices for one poll. Would it be alright to split the poll up? --PastelP (talk) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)
    • I think the number of choices is fine. But if it had to be split, it could be only bosses that were introduced in Pikmin 2, or only bosses that appear in Pikmin 1 and 2. ~ Contributions Cheepy (talk) 
      • Perhaps, but those are pretty arbitrary ways to split it... I don't think there's any way that a split could be done in a non-arbitrary way. — Soprano(talk) 15:31, November 25, 2022 (EST)
        • The poll could be split up into bosses per area (but the Empress Bulblax kinda messes that up a bit), and there could be some sort of mystical fifth poll with the winners of the other four, to find out which is the best... or maybe not. I don't know.
          But I'm calling it right now, if this poll makes it, the winner's gonna be the Waterwraith. -Burrhead2 (talk) 19:51, November 29, 2022 (EST)
          • A tournament-style poll series could be quite an interesting idea. To avoid having it take nearly a year, each poll could be 2 weeks long, with 3 or 4 initial rounds and one final round. But the grouping of bosses into initial rounds would be quite arbitrary and it would affect the outcome significantly. I'm not sure if there's a good way to do this. — Soprano(talk) 21:59, November 29, 2022 (EST)

  1. (Nominator:) This exact question has been asked before, in late 2018. However, I think it's worth asking it again, as Pikmin 3 Deluxe and Pikmin Bloom have been more popular than previous games and so may change the poll results significantly. Ideally this question would be asked before the release of Pikmin 4, though we could also ask it a few months after that game's release. — Soprano(talk) 22:37, December 2, 2022 (EST)

When do you consider Pikmin 2 beaten, rather than completed?

  • When I repay the debt/see the credits
  • When I beat the final boss
  • When I collect all the treasures

Support

  1. (Nominator:) I've wondered what other people's opinions on this question are, so a Pikipedia poll is a great place to ask. Considering that the game's credits play not far into it, probably means that by the strictest definition, the Wistful Wild is post-game content, and some people may see it that way.

  • Would this be too much of a spoiler for the Main Page? — Soprano(talk) 01:27, December 22, 2022 (EST)
    • The most this spoils is the location of the credits. If you know anything about Pikmin 2, you'll know that there's a debt, and if you play long enough, you'll find that you won't be able to do everything before repaying the debt. And most games have a final boss. Burrhead2 (talk) 09:13, December 22, 2022 (EST)
  • This poll might be able to be renamed to something like "when are you satisfied by completing Pikmin 2?" or something. — {EspyoT} 16:17, January 2, 2023 (EST)

  1. (Nominator:) This would be quite a meta poll, using a set of questions on an external website to inform a question on this website. An article about the Pikmin Bloom Flower Personality Quiz was recently created, and it would be interesting to see the results people get. However, it would considerably increase the effort required to participate in the poll, and I'm not sure how we'd link to the quiz website in Template:Poll. — Soprano(talk) 02:15, January 13, 2023 (EST)
