==Technical name==
What is it and where are you getting it from?  Also, before making major changes to a major template, it's a good idea to discuss it.
Note of the changes I just made:
*reduced amount of code for 'Appears in'.
*names are never not applicable: changed defaults to 'unknown'.
*unbolded scientific name - why was it bold?
*made links black again - this is for aesthetic purposes, considering how the skin's green clashes with the infobox.
*changed location defaults to 'none'.
*(re-)capitalised Challenge Mode (as in-game).
*de-italicised Pikmin 1/2 instances: I've always thought there are (bound to be) so many of each on the wiki that these two particular game names shouldn't be capitalised, for consistency with 1000s of uses already around if nothing else.  I've been meaning to bring this up one day, to decide either way...
*changed 'Pikmin' to 'Pikmin 1' - there was a discussion about this, and the outcome favoured Pikmin 1 in most places.  I should really get around to adding these things to [[Help:Editing#Pikipedia Standards]] and giving it its own article.
*your changes to the category inclusion put Bulbmin in cat:Pikmins; fixed that, plus some optimisation.
*added Pikmin 1/2 plants/enemy cats.
*removed some whitespace that crept in, pushing down the first paragraph on articles.
Use section:
*bolded mandatory parameters.
*italicised parameter names.
*simplified those multi-parameter fields so they only take up one line.
*removed part saying to use 'N/A' for no attacks: wouldn't you use 'none' or 'N/A' as applicable (that is, for enemies/plants)?
pikmin/pikmin2/plant parameters are a nice idea and make more categories automatic, which is always good (obviously broken until all infoboxes are updated).  I don't like the documentation being inconsistent with that of other templates now, but I guess you need more space here.
I think we should hide a few of the fields for plants (attacks, .{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
