Hello! I'm Deeb1324354657, and I really like Pikmin! I joined Pikipedia around the end of June, and intend to be as helpful as possible to this wiki! I originated on the Pikmin Fandom Wiki, but a series of events has led me here, and I intend to remain here for the purpose of better Pikmin documentation. If you'd like to get in touch with me, send me a Discord friend request (but please notify me first on Pikipedia's server or my Talk Page) and I'd love to chat!

How I Became a Pikmin Fan

Some time between 2012 and 2014, I got a Wii U. This Wii U came with Nintendo Land, as well as a few other games. I recall taking a liking to it, particularly Pikmin Adventure and some of the other multiplayer ones like Super Mario Chase. In what was probably 2015, I went to a GameStop with my Grandpa (not sure how many people have said that before), and picked up a Nintendo Selects copy of Pikmin 3. Maybe it was because of Pikmin Adventure that I knew the IP, or I just thought the box art was cool.

On one night of 2015, I remember playing Pikmin 3, just after finding Brittany in the Garden of Hope, with my father. He is far from a Pikmin fan (despite having the same name as one of the Rescue Corps members, which I used to the best of my ability to try to convince him to play Pikmin 4; unfortunately I was not successful), but I do think we played a few days of it. It was fun! After that, I think I beat Pikmin 3 on my own (probably took me a while as I sucked at video games), and then would come back to it on occasion. It's the Pikmin game that I've completed the most, just because it's been in my life so much longer than all of the others (aside from Adventure, but that one doesn't really count), and I think I've beat it around 10 times cumulatively with both releases. I think I got Hey! in maybe '17 or '18, and played it once, beating the final boss on a vacation in Florida (not sure why I remember that).

Then, in 2020, during the pandemic, while I had to do boring online school, I would write a Pikmin fanfiction during class (hey, I still got all my work done, so it's fine). I think it got to around 20 or 30 pages (with font size 11, I'll have you know) before I got distracted and then moved to a Zelda one. I was something of a piano composer at the time, and I still kind of am, so I actually wrote music for each chapter. Or at least tried, before I discontinued it.

Fast forward to 2022, I became more affiliated with Pikmin and wanted Pikmin NPC! for my birthday. I used to read the Pikmin Fandom Wiki on the daily basis and bragged to my friends about how nerdy I was. Unfortunately, I did not know of Pikipedia at the time. I played Pikmin NPC!, and it was very fun, albeit quite difficult! I've only played a full run once, and I got 28 days. Not too great, but at least I beat it!

I then bought Pikmin 3 Deluxe some time in between that and the release of Pikmin 4. It was a cool game, and I liked the addition of Side Stories! I love how they were a more story-focused version of Mission Mode that wasn't excruciatingly difficult to get platinum medals on, and ended up fully completing them. It was also just nice to play Pikmin 3 again on a new system!

And then... the fabled, long-awaited release of Pikmin 4! I pre-ordered it, and every day in the week leading up to its release, I would randomly yell out, "Pikmin 4 is releasing in "x" days!" Surely, no one found me annoying. But yeah, then July 21st, most amazing day of the year... it came! Very cool game. Even though I still hadn't played Pikmin 2 and wasn't starved for content like the rest of the fanbase, it still felt like a godsend. Such amazing quality, such good content... and such a long main campaign! 1 and 3 were great, but they were both pretty small, so seeing a new game that took me 60+ days to 100% was incredibly awesome!

Then I got Pikmin 2 as a birthday present. Even when compared to Pikmin 4, it really holds up, and might even be my favourite! I'm not sure. I really like the gameplay of it, and while it might sound hellish if you haven't attempted it before, doing it deathless is actually very fun! It makes you to take such a different approach to the many combat challenges the game presents, and is probably why I like Pikmin 2 so much.

And that's pretty much it! I played Pikmin Bloom on the daily for a few weeks around a year ago, and sometimes I play Pikmin Adventure with friends. Thanks for reading, if you've made it all the way here!

My past on Fandom

Prior to coming here, I was an administrator on the Pikmin Fandom Wiki. I tried my hardest to keep the wiki active with a multitude of things for the community to do, and edited a fair bit as well. I foolishly saw Pikipedia as a rival rather than the site I should have been on all along for the sake of better Pikmin content. I continued to do a lot there until I joined Pikipedia's server with the intent of stopping a troll from the Fandom from going there, and ended up being enlightened on all the reasons why I'd rather edit Pikipedia instead. I was incredibly torn between which wiki to work for, and knew that anything I do would either hurt Pikipedia or hurt the Fandom. Ultimately, I made what I thought was a harmless suggestion to the Fandom's forum; move to Discord, and if that's not possible, stay there. But in the stress of everything, I forgot to consider Fandom's Terms of Service - promoting wikis not on Fandom was not allowed, nor was suggesting a fork from it - and was ultimately demoted by bureaucrat Dark Lord Revan. We had additionally quarrelled a lot and he had reason to demote me, so I do not feel as though it was unjust. The closing of that door opened new ones - like my move to Pikipedia - and I also do not think that it was a bad thing for me, as I was getting a bit tired of my administration anyway. And, I'll be honest, it really was only a bit. I worked quite hard for the community and the reciprocation (or lack thereof) was sometimes disappointing, but otherwise, it was quite enjoyable. Still, I've accepted that it is no longer my place to do such things, and I'm optimistic about my new future here.

I intend to edit solely on Pikipedia and will not contribute at all to the Fandom in the future. It feels good to work for a community that is more respected and more popular; my edits don't feel like they're going to waste in a hopelessly problematic mainspace anymore. I still respect the editors of the Fandom, but I prefer to edit here. It's a new start, and I'm happy about it.

I've almost completely left Fandom now; I still occasionally stop by the forum and monitor Recent Changes on a different Fandom wiki owned by a friend, but that's pretty much it. I believe both sides had some good things about them and both had their flaws, but I'm not going to explain all of the drama (which, yes, there was quite a lot of) in detail when there's no guarantee anyone's actually going to see it. If you want to contact me, I'd love to tell you more about this on my talk page.

To-Do List

• Add {{game help|p4|Add uses in Dandori caves}} to every Pikmin page, and then proceed to fill out the required information.
• Add as many images as possible in Category:Pages that need images. Current project: Images of treasures in the areas they normally appear in. Secondary project: Images of caves (same image style as images in L-FC gallery) that do not already have them on the page or in waiting (Crackling Cauldron, Engulfed Castle, Frozen Inferno, and Cavern for a King).
• Find results of the punching of hazard generators (more detail on the talk page).
• Fix up the See Also sections on most, if not all, of the Goo-related treasure pages on the wiki; they seem to be incredibly inconsistent. Many other See Also sections also lack consistency; investigate those as well.

Extras

• My edit count, just for easy access!
