Talk:Area

Could someone upload this? It's the overworld map in the NPC Pikmin 1 game. I would but my computer's broken so im using my Nintendo Wii... RWAR! ~JOSHAFile:Gozira.PNGZILLA!!!~ AND IMAFIRINMAHLAZOR!!!

That screen looks odd, NPC or PAL, Uh.. fine... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Thanks. Wait NPC? Don't you mean NTSC? If so, I think it's NTSC. RWAR! ~JOSHAFile:Gozira.PNGZILLA!!!~ AND IMAFIRINMAHLAZOR!!!

New Play Control. Because my NTSC looks nothing like that I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

I think it's just widescreen (so NPC) and sharpened.GP

But what's with the Stars being the collected treasures, is the normal in PAL? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Yes. Is it not in NTSC?--Prezintenden

In NTSC it's #/# in place of the stars, and it's in the bar at the bottom... I'll just get a picture... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

That's Pikmin 2... Wait, no, ignore that, I don't see you getting confused between the games. Sounds...fun?

Um, okay, edit number 3; now I remember why I thought you thought it was Pikmin 2: you called them treasures.GP

My NTSC Pikmin 2 copy (I scanned the "Pink Pikmin Page, 'member?) has some minor changes in appearence including a lack of stars and the picture being placed differently... if I camera wasn't busted, I'd take a picture... but even, I'm not that stupid Green... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Image Ripping

Hey, does anyone think they can rip these images from this link? I can't seem to do it and I think that they would look good on those pages.File:All.jpgPikminFile:Hairybulborb.jpg1254File:Specialpikmin.JPG

Mm, yes, Distant Spring one especially gives you a nice idea of what the level looks like, since we're lacking a good shot now. I don't think the shot gets any bigger as it is. I'll upload the DS one for now.--Prezintenden

Thanks. I think all the images will make the pages look better.File:All.jpgPikminFile:Hairybulborb.jpg1254File:Specialpikmin.JPG

...I just read a little of the page. "Monster-producing flames [...] provide some light".

Anyway, pic was added. I was hoping GP can get some higher quality image with his fancy editing add-ons, but I think that's as good as it gets. I'm not a fan of the Forest Navel pic, but since the area has so much landscape variety, I don't think it's possible to acccuratly display it on a singe screenshot. Harumph.--Prezintenden

I had no idea we were lacking general area images for Pikmin 1. I would've got some a week ago when I had Wii access; as it is, it's 9 more weeks now 'till I can again. And as for getting better images from that, not likely: Flash is disgusting. I doubt they'd upload higher-quality images than displayed, anyway.GP

Infobox

We should have an infobox for area pages. Vol (Talk)

Agreed. Bulborb63 (talk • contribs)

What could we put on it? Snakeboss14

Yeah, I can't think of a great deal of the sort of data you put in infoboxes. Number of ship parts/treasures and Pikmin species discovered there is pretty much it. GP

I can think of tons of stuff; caves, hazards, enemies, ship parts/treasures, pellets available, obstacles, useful things (like bridges and twigs), ways to get nectar (like eggs and nectar weed), etc. Vol (Talk)

Infoboxes are not really for lists of things, but for information that can be represented in a small amount of space and without many words; I think it just wouldn't fit without making the infobox quite large. If you start putting all of this sort of stuff in infoboxes, there's less and less for the article. If you were hoping to replace all the words with icons, we'll just end up with a crazy amount of icons and it'll take a while to hover over each to see what they mean. GP

That makes sense, but areas could at least have as much infobox information as caves, couldn't they? Vol (Talk)

Nav Map

I do not really know where this should go, but I was thinking maybe we could have something like this for the maps in Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2. Scroll to the bottom to see what I mean. When you click on the corresponding area, you will be taken to that area. You need to see the actual nav map in action to get what I am trying to say. --Gamefreak75

Hmm... That's actually a neat idea. I'll look into it. {Espyo^T} 13:50, 17 October 2010 (EDT)

It's using the image map extension, which we do have. I would do it, if someone would provide the pictures. Good job Espyo, didn't know you'd already done it. Vol (Talk)
