What's your favorite aspect in the Pikmin series?

• Area design
• Enemy design
• Collectible design

No opposers, see comments for supporters

Comments

• Proposal by L3re7z. I think we need more options than those three. They should only be related to the gameplay aspects, otherwise most people would pick graphics or gameplay, if we were to list "graphics, gameplay, music", etc. Plus, they should be balanced in terms of likable things. Like, if on top of those three we add "HUD design", nobody will vote for it because it's nothing special. — {Espyo^T} 16:01, 23 February 2015 (EST)

Would you like caves to return?

• Yes, same as they were in Pikmin 2.
• Yes, but without being random.
• Yes, but only one sublevel.
• Yes, but radically different.
• No.
• It's indifferent.

• Out of all of the nominations, I like this one the best. Seems more creative than just "What is your favorite area". ^Talk

• What would make an Arctic area different from Valley of Repose and Distant Tundra? I would remove this option. --En Passant (talk) 16:14, 28 July 2015 (EDT)

What do you do when Pikmin die?

• I ignore it, regardless of how many died. Making new Pikmin is easy.
• Depends on the status of the Pikmin. I don't care about leaf Pikmin, have considerable concerns for bud Pikmin, and cannot stand losing a flower Pikmin.
• If a lot of Pikmin die, restart the day and play better. Otherwise, keep on trucking.
• I don't really feel upset if a Pikmin dies, but I do reset anyway.
• I absolutely cannot allow any Pikmin dying and I get really upset when it happens. I immediately hammer on the reset button when a Pikmin dies.

1. (Nominator:) This is always a hot topic, I feel like. It's also very general that applies to the entire Pikmin series, plus dealing with loss of units is a very real issue in the games. RandomYoshi^{Talk to me!} 17:41, 1 October 2015 (EDT)
2. The 'depends on the status' option is kind of weird, but sure. GP

1. (Nominator:) Everybody loves to see the Pikmin involved in the real world. We came up with the idea for this poll while discussing the natural environment one. We should definitely add more options. — {Espyo^T} 12:39, 1 August 2015 (EDT)
2. GoldenTriforce (talk) 12:52, 1 August 2015 (EDT) It seems like it makes sense for a game that probably takes place on an abandoned Earth to have some manmade areas.

Comments

• While the question itself is good, it needs more options. Also, just my two cents, a city and roman ruins are rather poor examples just due to how large they are and how small of a scale the Pikmin games are on. It would be more appropriate to focus in on smaller parts of those two, and doing so would also provide more choices for the queation. -Scittery Leaves 23
• This definitely needs more options. Nvortex (talk) 18:04, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

2. It's actually a refreshingly original poll; most of the other polls are speculatory or ask "What's your favorite x from y?" My only concern is that that doesn't cover all the control schemes, but we can discuss that on IRC. ~PikFan23 00:02, 27 May 2016 (EDT)

1. (Nominator:) This probably needs better options than just love or hate.

1. (Nominator:) An obvious poll because of the diversity between each sector. (one is a poison swamp, one is abandoned ruins, etc.) It also suggests what kinds of environments fans would enjoy for a future Pikmin game.

1. (Nominator:) An interesting poll as these characters could easily be alternate skins of Olimar, such as with Alph. We don't have any Smash related polls (that I know of) so this could be an unique one. The only problem is I think we already had a favorite leader poll, and this is kind of similar. But this is asking what would coolest to see fighting in smash, which is more specific. — CrazyCow October 13, 2019

Comments

• Since this poll has several options, and people's opinions on each might be varied and not just a simple favorite, I suggest that this poll use a version of approval voting instead of the standard 'pick-your-favorite'. People would select their 3 favorite new additions, and the result would probably be more representative of people's opinions, as well as not requiring people to pick a single favorite from 6 good options. That would make the question "What are your 3 favorite new features in Pikmin 3 Deluxe?" — Botanist_(talk) 18:25, November 17, 2020 (EST)

1. (Nominator:) We had a poll like this when Pikmin for Nintendo 3DS was first announced, so it's worth having another one now that Pikmin 4 has been announced. However, with only a short trailer so far, it's hard to come up with options for it... — Soprano_(talk) 01:28, September 16, 2022 (EDT)

  • More specific options have now been added. — Soprano_(talk) 02:14, March 4, 2023 (EST)
• I'd remove the option about the fact that it even exists, because it's a bit of a cop-out feel-good hype answer. Doesn't really give any interesting insight. I'd also rephrase it as to not make it sound like we know of the upcoming changes. — {Espyo^T} 16:17, January 2, 2023 (EST)
• I think it may be worth slightly breaking our 2-month pattern for this poll. Pikmin 4 comes out on July 21st, just 11 days before the start of a poll period. We could run this poll for the June-July period, but end it early at the release date, and start the next poll (preferably "What do you think of Pikmin 4 so far?") on the same day. — Soprano_(talk) 02:14, March 4, 2023 (EST)
  • If we want to use this one, we better do it fast, because a new trailer can show up at any moment and give us new things, making this poll outdated. As for breaking up the format, I don't think we need to. This can be the April-May poll. Plus, it's not such a good idea to plop down the "What do you think" poll directly on the release day since a lot of people won't even have a chance to play it, much less form an opinion. I think giving it some weeks is better. — {Espyo^T} 11:46, March 5, 2023 (EST)

  • Hm, on one hand, I feel like it makes sense to include it, but on the other hand, I feel like that'd be the majority of votes.

How do you feel about the first Pikmin game's time limit?

• It's very stressful and short.
• It's not stressful, but it is short.
• It's stressful, but fair.
• It's nothing special.
• It's too forgiving.

Question reworded to "How do you feel about Pikmin 1's time limit?".

Support

1. (Nominator:) On the Pikmin Discord, we were discussing why some people find the time limit to be "hard". It occurred to me that we can just ask the community at large. With these options, I'm mostly trying to gauge the stress factor and the time constraint's fairness. We can probably add more options to further gauge what players find "hard". — {Espyo^T} 10:35, 13 June 2017 (EDT)
2. I think this is a good poll idea because it requires some thought and answers a useful question. Pikmin's time limit is controversial, and I think a poll like this would be interesting for that reason. — Soprano_(talk) 19:43, November 10, 2020 (EST)

Oppose

1. 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)

• Is this really such a good idea as it is? The S.S. Dolphin doesn't speak (although Olimar mentions it does, we never see it), and the S.S. Drake only spits some info about collected items. Only the Hocotate ship and the S.S. Dolphin II actually have any personality, and the Hocotate ship blows the other one out of the park, no contest. Maybe we should change the poll to be about the ship's exterior design? — {Espyo^T} 16:24, September 19, 2021 (EDT)
  • Yep, changing the poll to be about exterior design makes a lot of sense. I originally intended the question to be about comparing the different aspects of the ships, like the way the S.S. Dolphin adds new parts and the Hocotate ship's personality, but I realize that it's awkward to compare different attributes. Exterior design will make for a more interesting poll. — Soprano_(talk) 20:29, September 26, 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)
