Talk:Pikmin (video game)

message: It is not yet known as of Wednesday, January 9th, if one of Pikmin and Olimar's special moves is to pluck a Pikmin from the ground.  On a related topic, the character's SSBB name is Pikmin and Olimar, and not Captain Olimar.  Thank you. Glotnot (talk) 02:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

message: 'The second step is in selecting the appropriate numbers and colors of Pikmin needed to complete the tasks, and then executing them.'
What does that mean?
It means that you first choose the Pikmin needed to accomplish the tasks, and then you excecute those tasks. - Zorio 21:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I proposed this article for deletion but the tag was taken down. I was wondering if anyone here can prove that this topic is article-worthy and, if so, to improve it. Otherwise I'll put it up for deletion. —EdGl 23:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free. I've appointed myself captain of Pikmin articles, and I don't want to keep this one free of cruft. I have my hands full enough with the articles we have, especially Enemies of Pikmin. I don't think this one's notable enough, though. The only reason I created the enemies of Pikmin article is because almost every week, someone would make another article on Bulborbs or Snavians or Snitchbugs, and each of these articles was of low quality and little content, so I unified them into a more list-like arrangement like we have now. However, to date, this is the only time someone has created an article on Pikmin treasures. Since I've had to revert the Enemies article about 100 times between when I created it and now, I would conclude that this info is in much less demand and is therefore not notable. Feel free to nominate it for deletion. However, please tell me if you do so, so I can monitor the process. If it's kept, I guess I'll have to add it to the list of Pikmin articles I have to watch. Thank you for the notice, however. RyanGerbil10 (Drop on in!) 17:16, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure thing. Unfortunately, this guy is putting a lot of work into this article, and I would hate to see it go to waste. Stuff like this makes me less of a deletionist. :-) I'm not a gung-ho deletionist. Maybe I'll wait until another deletionist comes across this article. —EdGl 15:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: In the article, it says how this planet can't be Earth because it has silicon-based life. But it doesn't explain how life is silicon-based and not carbon-based. Not everyone here is a scientist. I think it should be explained how they know it. --70.44.119.165 19:00, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Olimar has nothing that separates him from the game, so there is no reason for an article. The other two are bloated with trivial information and game guide material. The basic information is pretty much already described in the two game articles, and any extra stuff (listing every minor enemy) can just be thrown out. TTN 13:05, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only way wildlife can possibly exist as an article is to have various paragraphs describing them as a whole. There would be no single mentions at all, and it would require development and reception info. That is unlikely for it, so it is better suited as a subsection in the game articles. You can always transwiki the content to one of the various video game or Nintendo wiki's if you want to keep it intact. TTN 17:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

text: TTN, you have to merge everything even HERE? Jeezus. General Banzai 06:15, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Oh, by the way, I think Olimar meets the notability guidelines for his own article, but as it's late y'all will have to wait until I get home from work tomorrow. RyanGerbil10(C-Town) 06:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Yeah, remove the merge. The only one who's actually for it is TTN, and he's kinda left this area right now... Also, IMO, the Wildlife of Pikmin article is pretty good now. General Banzai 22:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is it assumed that the planet on which the game is set is Earth? All I can see in the article that suggests this is that the planet has an oxygen-rich atmosphere.
