Hey guys, the New Play Control Pikmin Prima guide calls them Bramble Gates and Stone Walls. -PikminExpert 
Is Prima official? If so the article needs to be rewritten ('-_-) Last Onion
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make up names like that. Maybe Stone Walls isn't the right name, but Bramble Gates makes sense. -PikminExpert
- ...I fail at reading. Right, I guess this makes sense, then, but that would mean every instance of 'gate' on the wiki needs to be replaced. Can we get some proof that Prima guides are official? I've never seen them, don't think they're sold here. And stone wall, since it's not in the guides, isn't worth calling that, certainly not worth capitalising. I'll change it to 'stone gate', since the others are called gates, and they are gates, really.GP
It says stone wall in the guide, but I don't think that's the official name.
-PikminExpert
I did some research and I learned Prima has some relationship with each game's developers, and sometimes they work directly with the developers to make the guide. So they seem official. And about changing every gate into Bramble Gate, I think if you see one, change it. I don't think we should look at every article to see if it needs to be changed. -PikminExpert
- Half of what they say is errors or unnofficial! Prima couldn't even get the names for the SSBM character's moves... I'm ~Lonely
Turret~ And I approve this message.
We should stop debating if Prima is official or not cause everyone else but you is fine with Bramble Gate, Crystal. -PikminExpert
- I honestly preferred the generic "gate" since it's not given any other name in the games, but meh. I wonder if they'll be named in Pikmin 3.GP
Do they even call it gate in any of the games? Bramble Gate is the only name for it that I've seen. We should leave it how it is now and not change any other articles because of it. -PikminExpert
And the User has spoken.;-_- I'm Redpikmin
Flamethrower And I approve this message.
- I honestly don't care what Prima calls them. If they are referred to nothing but these two definitions through the whole of the game, then I could see reasoning to change it. But we're talking about a guide here that we're not even sure if it's official or not. I vote against changing it, as it's not only unnecessary to do so (as GP said, a gate's a gate, really. If fruit was intended to grow on it really isn't that important), and we can give no convincing arguments.--Prezintenden
- I'd still mention it on this page, like in the first sentence, saying it's a known alternative name.GP
Do White of Purple Pikmin have any special adantage when breaking doors? And by the way, I sometimes get the feeling that the black gates in Pikmin 2 are weaker than whites.

Snakeboss, I tested, and purple/white don't have any advantage, and whites aren't stronger than blacks ( unless you count a abouveground white gate vs. a underground black). As for the aurgument up there Prima is unofficial.--

Electric Fences
I've just always assumed the metal gates are just as durable as the normal white gates, but is that correct? And did we have any HP info on gates in the ISO data?--Prezintenden
- Anyway, underground, gates are much weaker, obviously, and HP is set on a per-sublevel basis. Above ground, every specific gate has its own HP; black is always highest, white usually lower than electric; electric is always 16000. HP could go in the article, I guess?GP
- Yeah, amazing find there, Greenpickle.
- <_<
- And, uh, why exactly is that odd? It's just the amount of damage needed to knock it down... Miles. 02:35, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
- ...
- Uh, anyway, I spent about 20 minutes in Paint earlier, and edited the maps with the amount of HP each gate has. Important to note is that this is the amount of damage it takes to lower the gate 1 level, which mean the total HP for each gate is actually triple these amounts. Miles. 21:05, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
I think poison gates and the different colors of stone gates should get their own bullet pointsMRPANTS 08:22, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Edits, edits everywhere
There are thousands of edits on the number of white gates on this page. Someone who really knows what he's talking about should disambiguate. We need to specify if the white gates are all types of white gates, or simple white gates, to avoid having these edits. {EspyoT} 12:13, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

- "White gates", in those list, are those without poison. I thought it'd be obvious we wouldn't list the same gate twice, and would want to list poison gates separately. GP:
Should we list gates that only appear Pikmin 1 challenge mode? 
Loafy the Breadbug
Guess I should get started then. Should I make a new section for them or include them in the ordinary locations but put something next to it like (Challenge Mode only)? Loafy the Breadbug
- Depends. If the Challenge Mode exclusive ones are almost all the same as story mode ones, you should add them to the regular list, but with a note next to it. If they defer much, it's best to just put them in a new section. {EspyoT} 17:14, 30 April 2011 (EDT)
Just checked, and there's actually only one truly exclusive gate and its in the Final Trial. Some have been removed and some have been changed (Some Metal gates are now normal wood and some normal wood gates are now metal.) How exactly should I put that in? Loafy the Breadbug P.S should I include exclusive bridges in the bridge article?
- Just add it all to a separate section, then someone else can merge them in if need be. And yes, bridges should be treated the same. GP
Done. I think it might need to be edited and perfected a bit, because I don't think its very good. Kind of hard to word it. Loafy the Breadbug
