** In the Pikcord, I've seen a few people against the idea of Purple and White Pikmin returning. (I'd probably vote for that option, or the redesign option.)

==Which is the most annoying enemy in ''Pikmin 3''?==

* Flighty Joustmite
* Puckering Blinnow
* Skeeterskate
* Swarming Sheargrub
* Other

# (Nominator:) This is more of a fun and silly poll. There are a bunch of enemies in the ''Pikmin'' series that are often considered annoying by players, and it could be interesting to have a poll on which one people find the most annoying. The options I picked are enemies commonly noted as particularly annoying. Similar polls could work for other games, though I limited this one to ''Pikmin 3'' to avoid cross-game comparisons. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 05:39, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

# I think a question like this is too vague for a simple poll. To one person, ''enemy A'' may not be a nuisance, but to another, ''enemy A'' may be a nuisance. Then, some enemies are annoying for different reasons; the Sheargrubs are annoying because they stop you from carrying back fruit, and the Flighty Joustmites are annoying because they are ~awkward to defeat(?), so it's hard to compare them fully and fairly. Then there's the issue of what enemies would be here? There's '''a lot''' of enemies that could be counted as annoying (not including bosses). All in all, this type of question seems more like a discussion-based one, rather than a poll question and I don't think its suitable. &mdash; '''[[User:Chazmatron|Chazmatron, signing off!]]''' [[User talk:Chazmatron|(TALK)]] 23:50, 20 March, 2025 (GMT)

* Is the enemy selection for this poll good? &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 00:14, February 1, 2024 (EST)
** It's definitely not bad; most of these enemies can be pretty irritating. I do think the Dessicated Skitter Leaf is only a big pain in deathless runs, but its camouflage definitely justifies it here regardless of the playthrough type. Why is the Flighty Joustmite on here, though? I've heard maybe one or two content creators voice their distaste for it, but to me it's literally just a Joustmite with wings, but arguably easier due to its incapacitation when its proboscis gets stuck in the ground; wait for that to happen and throw some Pikmin at its backside, the end. That placement makes very little sense to me.<br>On the topic of adding more, do you think it'd be fair to add the Mysterious Life Form? The fact that it gives chase can make it kind of pesky (though I suppose it's possible any annoyance it might bring is overshadowed by the terror it can cause). How about Phosbat Pods? I don't personally have any issues with them, but maybe their repetitive enemy spawning might be thought of that way... eh, on second thought, probably not. I'd say the Puffy Blowhog can be kind of irritating, but it's not nearly as bad as it is in the first game, so I don't think it needs to be on there. The last two I might think about considering are the Swooping Snitchbug (though, like the Puffy Blowhog, it's much worse in 1 due to its ability to wander) and the Waddlepus, as they both can disjoint your squad a bit, but otherwise, I think the list is fine. That was just me going through the list of all enemies in that game to check for possibilities; do you have anything to say on those? <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 18:37, October 5, 2024 (EDT)
* I think this poll runs into the issue of too many possible options, as in my opinion as Pikmin 3's enemy cast is filled with annoying foes. From ones that are hard to hit, to ones with utterly unfairly fast shake-offs, there's a lot to go around. Some ones that I'd nominate are the Waddlepus, Puffy Blowhog, Water Dumple, Medusal Slurker, and Toady Bloyster, and if all those are included, the number of options inflates drastically. There's also the issue of this being a very subjective topic; one that I don't think really works with Pikipedia's poll format. -[[User:Gulliblepikmin|Gulliblepikmin]] 19:28, October 5, 2024 (EDT)
** That's fair, it is quite subjective. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 23:20, October 5, 2024 (EDT)
** Yeah; I can see how this question doesn't really work as a poll. It's more suited for a discussion. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:27, October 6, 2024 (EDT)

# Asking any multiple choice question with blowhogs (family) is a bad idea, becuce there's some types that does/doesn't count for various Reasons, like the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#blowhog|Blowhog (species)]] only being in Pikmin adventure and not blowing something, the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Telescoping Pumphog|Telescoping Pumphog]] not having "blowhog" in their name, and the [[Tusked Blowhog]] not being in the Blowhog family.

# I’ve had to switch to the opposition. [[Pikmin 4]] introduced about a bajillion Blowhog varieties, ruining this poll. I still like the concept, but with the addition of the [[Titan Blowhog]], the taxonomically impossible [[Tusked Blowhog]], and the frigid trio of the [[Snowy Blowhog]], [[Icy Blowhog]] and [[Blizzarding Blowhog]], the [[Blowhog family]] has become a lot less cool, and especially a lot more cold. *laugh track* &mdash; [[User:Aostrele|'''Aostrele''']]<sub>[[User talk:Aostrele|''(talk)'']]</sub> 9:50, January 11, 2025 (GMT)

* Asking about the appearance of the Blowhogs is an interesting idea to make the poll more unique, but I'm not sure if this group of enemies is the best for this type of question.

# (Nominator:) Simple poll asking a simple question. It's not really been done before and it is spring season, so the series is fitting for this month.

* Other treasure series could work, though ones with a lot of entries and ones that appear in both ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'' should be avoided: so the [[Sweet Tooth Series]] would be difficult, as it's present in both games; the [[Soulful Musician Series]] would be too long (13 unique treasures). All of the ''Pikmin 2'' treasures that have regional differences will be awkward to implement as well. The more "bundle-like" treasure series aren't the best for this either, like the [[Memory Fragment Series]], [[Three Generations Series]], [[Assembled Courage Series]] etc. &mdash; '''[[User:Chazmatron|Chazmatron, signing off!]]''' [[User talk:Chazmatron|(TALK)]] 23:27, March 20, 2025 (GMT)
* I like the idea of polls about favorite treasures in series, but I don't think this is a good series for this type of poll. This is because all of its treasures are also fruits in ''Pikmin 3'', so someone could answer based on how the treasures appear in ''Pikmin 3'' as well as in ''Pikmin 4''. There are a few series though that don't have fruits and also meet the other requirements you say, so polls about those series could work. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 05:56, September 21, 2025 (EDT)

# I think this is a good question to gauge the current popularity of this mode, and it's pretty relevant too. I don't know if a "maybe" option would be a good idea, though, because it's kind of too general and takes away from the statistic of how many people care about playing this mode, at least in my opinion. Besides, it asks "do you ''plan'' to", so someone could easily say yes and then change their mind and not actually play it, or vice versa. Perhaps it could be replaced with an "I don't have ''Pikmin 4'' but I want to do x", so that way people who don't can vote, but I don't know if we often have options for not having the game for other polls. Overall, I like the idea! <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 18:20, October 23, 2025 (EDT)
