[edit] More info needed

Considering how much additional information for this game is covered in this article, Pikmin series and Pikmin (character), I don't think there's a whole lot more to add to it, so I'm removing the stub tag. If anyone disagrees, feel free to change it back. --ADeveria 13:13, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

The article itself needs information. -- A Link to the Past 13:15, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Probably, yes. But since what is there right now already does a decent job at describing the game, I wouldn't say it's a stub anymore. --ADeveria 13:22, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Are you saying that Pikmin 2 can't be expanded? -- A Link to the Past 15:20, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Like I said, it probably can. Just because it's not a stub, doesn't mean it's complete. I believe it's now entered the realm where the tag {{expansion}} is more appropriate, if anything. --ADeveria 15:53, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

go to[1] for more information on pikmin I'm a user on that wiki so I can help you if you kneed it. --24.76.3.106 17:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Racism

I heard someone say that this is a racist game. You are a like a white 'plant'ation owner and are using the native, colored, people to do your work. They say that pikmin are just blacks, slaves, and Olimar is the slave driver.

This is highly unlikely, because nintendo probably wouldn't release a game about enslaving cute little creatures. Also, it appears that the pikmin CHOOSE to follow Olimar and Louie arround. I agree.

You mean something like Pokemon? They'd never release that!

[edit] Pikmin types

Anyone besides me noticed that the descriptions of Pikmin types seems more like a guide on how to get them and what they do, as may be found in a magazine walkthrough, rather than encyclopedic information? I have edited the white pikmin details to add some more information but if anyone else agrees with me im more than happy to rewrite the other pikmin details.

this is my first discussion thingy...sorry if i seem completely ridiculous here in something i have done, but i find the instructions very confusing... Vimescarrot 20:30, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree about more than just the Pikmin types. This article is bloated almost to the point of a poor gamefaqs.com guide. There's good information here, but there's also stuff that's just excessive. Wiki game pages should not contain walkthroughs, at least not so prominently. Phil Bond 15:34, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Past?

It always struck me as though the planet is a future earth. If that were true, then the waterwraith would have to be a human. So is it earth after an atomic war?

The Waterwraith may have once been human, possibly "knocked out of the space time continuum" by an atomic war, but it also might be: a creature from another dimension, an alien creature or a supernatural entity

The waterwraith is more like a interdimentional creature that takes a half form of water when you see it if you havn't noticed when you hit the waterwraith it takes a solid form. --24.76.3.106 17:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps the waterwraith is an evolved human being. Human Beings may have evolved to a point were their body is almost completely water. The reason they can still move around, is because they might have been able to harness psychic abilities when they evolved. This is just a theory though. Also pikmin does appear to take place in the future, because of the precense of normal (and sometimes decrepit) human items, but with no humans.

Maybe we're living on Mars when the Pikmin Trilogy started.--Sonic,Pikachu,and Snorunt 22:25, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ship's Name?

I haven't played Pikmin 2 for a while, so I can't remember if Olimar's rocket had a name (I don't mean the Dolphin, I mean the one in Pikmin 2). If it does, could someone put it in here? RememberMe? 17:42, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the ship actually got a name in the game, though most fanfiction writers call it the Pod.

I believe it was called the Pod. Max38 —Preceding comment was added at 21:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Note on The Key

It should probably be noted about "The Key" (the one for Challenge Mode); it's a key from Yoshi's Island/Super Mario World 2/Super Mario Advance 3.

[edit] Good Article status

Everybody, i think we can totally get this article to Good Article status if we reformat and cite the existing work

i'll be working a lot on this article for a while, so help me out with this article and post me a message if needed --3000zebs-(talk to me) 02:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

could anyone add the information that Pikmin 2's playability is much smoother and pikmins grow quicker when beeing in the earth? i'd do myself but my english is bad, i'm only able to understand it well. thx

[edit] What Do I Do?

Okay, so I got all the treasures. I saw the ending cinematic, but they're still on earth even tough all the treasures have been collected. So, what do I do now?

Sorry, this page is only for discussion on editing the game's article. I'd suggest finding some gaming forum to discuss the game. --ADeveria 12:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

But everyone else was discussing the game.

I suggest that someone post what happens after you collect the treasures. --BlooWilt 23:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC) Well to answer your question...YOU BEAT THE GAME now get on with your life -

Go to GameFaqs.com.[[User:SxeFluff|--SxeFluff 02:29, 7 October 2007 (UTC)]] 21:34, 7 October 2007

[edit] Movie? Yeah right!

In the reaction section, it says IGN gave this game a 10.0 and that Nintendo plans to make movies on both games. This is so ridiculously wrong and should be changed right now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.10.172.69 (talk) 21:10, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

Okay, I fixed it

[edit] URL

The URL does not work. I suspect that the writer intended the domain to end in ".co.jp". I will change it now. In its present state, the URL is listed as http://www.nintendo.jp/p/c234/.

[edit] Sequel

Have any plans for a sequel been announce? --User:Entei-Anubis

I believe it was somewhere on IGN that Miyamoto hinted at a pikmin 3. Not a for sure hint, but a "It's in progress" hint.Max38
Found it. It's in progress, this is just the quoteMax38

[edit] Renewal of Pikmin Liscense

Yeah, Nintendo just renewed the copyright on Pikmin. While this doesn't completely mean that there WILL be a sequel, it heavily points to that. Does anyone feel that this should be mentioned anywhere? General Banzai 22:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

WP:NOR. If you've got proof, you might note it in the article, but you can't indicate to a possible sequel, in my understanding, unless, of course, a reputable source speculates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirby-oh (talk • contribs) 23:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

For renewal, it's listed on the Pikmin Return's fansite: http://www.pikminreturns.com/content/view/36/1/

And it's also listed in sites such as: http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/09/nintendo-tradem.html
http://gonintendo.com/?p=24290
http://www.cubed3.com/news/8525/1/

So it should be added for certain.

(03/29/08) Olimar & Pikmin appears in Brawl, so the the renewed copyright may simply have been for that reason. Having Pikmin in Brawl doesn't exactly kill the chance of another sequel, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.16.189.196 (talk) 13:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1889... not 1989...

Nintendo was a card company in 1889, not 1989. Someone keeps reverting my edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.105.113.180 (talk) 01:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Where do you think the day limit should go?

I know how long the day limit is, but I'm not sure where to add it... Can someone direct me in the right spot, please? Max38

Nevermind, I stuck it in there. Max38
