:All right, but the one about Breeding Ground not spawning the right objects may need some discussion. The game fails to spawn objects all the time, sometimes [[Mistake#Missing important objects|important ones]]. Also, the fruit icons one needs to be studied more. The link in bold doesn't take the reader to anywhere with more information. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:29, February 7, 2022 (EST)

Here are a few more I've thought of over the last few months:
*...that the '''[[Hey! Pikmin planet|''Hey! Pikmin'' planet]]''' has no sun to orbit around?
*...that the image of '''[[Koppai]]''' in {{p3}}{{'s}} opening cutscene is actually an edited picture of Earth?
*...that {{p2}}{{'s}} pre-rendered '''[[cutscene]]s''' take up a majority of the storage space on the disc?
*...that '''[[ultra-spicy spray]]''' slightly decreases the [[Combat|damage output]] of [[Purple Pikmin]] in {{p2}}?
*...that the '''[[Thoroughbred Statue]]''' is found in a room shaped the same way as the treasure?
*...that in the [[GameCube]] version of {{p1}}, walking in a cardinal direction relative to the camera '''[[Mistake#Olimar's movement|is slightly faster]]''' than walking diagonally?
*...that {{p1}}{{'s}} [[enemy reel]] has the '''[[Swooping Snitchbug]]''' in the wrong place alphabetically?
The third and fourth of these should probably be confirmed before adding them to the Main Page. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 22:19, October 1, 2022 (EDT)

== Adalent's Suggestion (I only have one rn) ==
...that despite [[White Pikmin]] appearing in [[Mission Mode| ''Pikmin 3'''s mission mode]], [[Poison|poison]] never appears as a hazard?
Adalent 22:20, July 18, 2023 (EDT)
:I don't think that's really trivia. Poison resistance isn't the only attribute of White Pikmin, and ''Pikmin 3'' focuses on their other attributes. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 05:45, July 19, 2023 (EDT)
== Pikmin 4 trivia ==
* ...that the '''[[Olfactory Sculpture]]'''{{'s}} flame can harm Pikmin like any other [[fire]] source?
* ...if you're inside some '''[[Ice|frozen]]''' enemies mashing {{button|switch|b}} to escape like the game says does not do anything?

...that several treasures including the [[Slapstick Crescent]], the macarons in the [[Sweet Tooth Series]], and the [[Personal-Injury Plank]] are directly based on [[Decor Pikmin]] from {{pb}}?

== Soprano's new suggestions ==
Starting a new section since the old one is long and it's been a while since it was last used. Here's some trivia points:
*...that the flame of the '''[[Olfactory Sculpture]]''' is an actual [[fire]] hazard?
*...that [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] can pick up '''[[Scrummy Bone]]s'''?
*...that '''[[Winged Pikmin]]''' in {{p3}} move slightly slower if there are more than 66 Pikmin in the field?
*...that the image created by the '''[[Memory Fragment Series]]''' is the cover of ''{{w|Nintendogs|Nintendogs Dachshund & Friends}}''?
*...that all 30 '''[[fruits]]''' in {{p3}} are also in {{p4}}?
*...that '''[[Ice Pikmin]]''' are recommended Pikmin types in all but one [[area]] in {{p4}}?
*...that it is possible to jump over some small ledges in {{p3d}} by '''[[Charge|charging]]''' while running towards them?
*...that nearly 90% of the music samples in {{p}}{{'s}} [[Music in Pikmin|soundtrack]] come from the same two synthesizers, the '''[[Assets used in the Pikmin series#Audio|Kurzweil K2500R and Roland SC-88]]'''?
*...that the background of the [[area selection menu]]s in {{p1}} and {{p2}} come from '''[[Assets used in the Pikmin series#Stock photography|real photographs of Hokkaido, Japan]]'''?

== Mistake ==
I noticed one of these trivia points has a mistake. I'm talking about the one that says "...that the Shaggy Long Legs and Baldy Long Legs share the internal name and Japanese name of the Beady Long Legs, respectively?". Baldy and Beady have different Japanese names, but Baldy's article once mistakenly listed its name as being the same as Beady's. This is an older trivia point, though, so should it be changed or kept as is? [[User:2 B|2 B]] ([[User talk:2 B|talk]]) 08:35, January 2, 2024 (EST)
:If a trivia point has a mistake and isn't easy to fix, it's fine to remove it entirely. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 22:31, January 2, 2024 (EST)
== Draven's suggestion ==
Did you know that the only Pikmin game where the music continues to play during the countdown to sunset is Pikmin 3? {{unsigned|Draven}}
:This is not true, as the music plays during the countdown in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''. In fact, ''Pikmin 4'' is the only game where it doesn't. That could make a trivia point, but I don't think it's interesting enough for this template. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 22:31, January 2, 2024 (EST)
Here’s a better one I just found - When a swooping snitchbug picks up a purple Pikmin, it will immediately fall to the ground! [[User:Draven|Draven]] ([[User talk:Draven|talk]]) 14:22, January 3, 2024 (EST)
:I don't think this is true in most games, just in ''Pikmin 4''. But if the game was specified, this could be a good trivia point. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 03:12, January 5, 2024 (EST)
The hidden murals in ''Pikmin 3'' remain visible during side story missions
[[User:Draven|Draven]] ([[User talk:Draven|talk]]) 12:48, January 7, 2024 (EST)
:I don't think this is notable enough for this template. Also, for a trivia point to be used here, the fact needs to be documented on an article. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 16:15, January 7, 2024 (EST)
