*The entries for the [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]] and the [[Volatile Dweevil]] on the [[Piklopedia]] point out that the creatures have an associated [[Poko]] value of 1 and 0, respectively. These values provide no useful information to the player, given that Ravenous Whiskerpillars cannot appear [[Cave|underground]], and Volatile Dweevils cannot be retrieved to the research pod. It is possible that they could at an earlier point in development, and that this value is a remnant of that time; other moot values, such as the Poko count of a [[Pellet Posy]] are displayed as "----", further confusing matters.

*[[The ship]] does not distinguish between a partial [[Pikmin extinction]] in the previous day and one in a cave, so if the player loses all Pikmin of one type by use of [[Candypop family|Candypop Buds]] and goes to the surface, the ship will state that there was a Pikmin extinction "yesterday".

*Until ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', [[Louie]] was always known by that name. In that game, he is still given the name Louie, but when under attack by an [[enemy]] in [[Mission Mode]], he refers to himself as "Louis" <ref>{{transcript|Louis here... Waaah!|Louie in [[Mission Mode]] while under attack}}</ref>. It is currently not known if Louis is his real name and Louie is a nickname, or if this is the result of a mistranslation or typo.

*At a few times during the course of ''Pikmin 3'', characters may say the expression "now I think of it", when referring to something they have realized. The most common expression is actually "now '''that''' I think of it", leaving the existence of this version a mystery. There is no official stance on the fact that "now I think of it" is inept for these situations, so whether this is an alternate, but valid wording, or actually a mistake is up for debate.

There are some inconsistencies regarding the kind of materials and objects Hocotatians have and do not have on [[Hocotate|their home planet]]. At the very least, these constitute as mysteries, given that it is not known how comparable the objects and elements in Hocotate are to their real world counterparts.

*On [[Louie's notes]], he mentions several plants and vegetables on his cooking recipes, although most of these ingredients need to be cultivated with oxygen. It could, however, be the case that Louie is referring to using the treasures obtained on [[PNF-404]] as the ingredients.

* [[Captain Olimar]]'s main trophy is about his appearance as a fighter, which is actually a dual trophy for Olimar and Pikmin.

The Pikmin have never traveled through space, meaning this title should only be applied to Olimar.

It is not elaborated what either of these two sources mean, either in ''Brawl'' or any ''Pikmin'' game, but it can only be assumed the flowers are actually the [[Pellet Posies]]. However, there are no grasses that can contain pellets in any ''Pikmin'' game. The only grasses that can provide anything similar are [[nectar weed]], which contain raw [[nectar]], not the crystallized pellets. The Japanese name for the Pellet Posies, {{j|ペレット草|Peretto Kusa}} does translate to "Pellet Grass", but the fact that there's a distinction between the "flowers" and the "grass" indicates it is a mistake nonetheless.
