Talk:Pikmin 2

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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  is more appropriate, if anything. --ADeveria 15:53, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: More info needed

message: 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!
Pikmin isnt racist because when Olimar first discovers them for the first time, he freaks out and runs, then the Pikmin follows him the Pikmin are trying to be helpful and they kinda need Olimar to help them survive  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.23.25.249 (talk) 01:11, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Racism

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  Pikmin types 

message: 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)

message: 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)

thread_title:  What Do I Do? 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Movie? Yeah right! 

message: 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)

thread_title:  Reception of Wii version please? 

message: 1) "In Pikmin, Pikmin that were following Olimar would complete a task without being instructed to in any way. An example would be if Pikmin that were following Olimar left him to help some other Pikmin carry a pellet, even though the necessary amount of Pikmin are carrying the pellet already and Olimar needs the Pikmin for another task. This was fixed in Pikmin 2."
In Pikmin 2, Pikmin do not automatically go and complete tasks. While this may count as fixed, I believe the article should make this clearer.
2) "The controls are also improved."
I thought that peoples opinions weren't supposed to go into wiki pages? Just bringing this up.
3) "The game then centers on finding Louie, exploring the planet, and collecting treasures."
Finding Louie is only a short section at the start of the game. You won't spend the entire game looking for him; I think the article should clarify that. 220.244.228.153 (talk) 14:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  A few things in this article that bother me... 

message: Check the Cave section for inaccurate data; it says day does not pass because of a strong magnetic field, but that's ridiculous.  The reason time doesn't pass is because the Sun (for the Sun-Timer) cannot be seen underground.   The "Magnetic Field" thing is not sourced, so I think it was vandalism or simply someone adding their own random guesses.  I believe I know of an OFFICIAL source to cite for the "Cannot-see-the-sun" reason for no time passing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.233.227.21 (talk) 20:05, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree this was a conflict, and I agree that it should be solved with a discussion like I directed you to do early on. A controversy it does not make, however. I boldly edited the redundancy out as should have been done according to wikipedia policy. It was you that reverted unreasonably, since my edit was also perfectly fine and to which you cannot deny.

I'm merely pointing out that Interqwark is mistaken that you discuss first, reach a consensus, then edit. If that were the case, nothing would get done. Thousands of articles have no participation. As for argue... while you are referring to the negative connotation of the word, that is literally all you can do to try and reach a consensus. Leitmotiv (talk) 02:28, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: You fail to see that the past discussion has nothing to do with the new edit warring by you of blinding reverting, where you are suggesting we need consensus. When new evidence is supplied, we can be bold. Especially if that was evidence someone remarked was needed before. You are the only one here not in any current discussion. You're just blind reverting without discussing it, per your own advice. Leitmotiv (talk) 21:53, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Provide that evidence here for evaluation. That is how a discussion and consensus work. If I missed it here on this talk page, then point it out. Discussions here have no time limit, so your point about "current" discussion is invalid. The conversation died out because it was left to you to open an RfC if you felt that your edit was valid, as everyone else disagreed with you about asserting your edit. This page has a record of editors objecting to this very same edit, so not sure how you could argue that this is not the same conversation about the same thing. †Basilosauridae❯❯❯Talk 22:06, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
