This page is where users suggest their ideas for [[Pikipedia:Poll|polls]], as well as comment on other poll ideas or vote on whether they like them or not. These decisions are for what polls should be asked on the wiki, not for what poll will be next. New poll ideas should start out in the "Ideas that need work" section, and once it's clear that the poll doesn't have problems and is ready to be asked, a staff member can move it to the "Ready ideas" section. Note that staff members selecting the next poll can choose ideas from either section.

***''Hey! Pikmin'' still has area design, even if it's done in a totally different way to the 3D games. It's still comparable enough in my opinion. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 03:01, August 8, 2021 (EDT)
**** I don't think it's fair to compare the design of stages from a 2D puzzle-ish side scroller to those of 3D real-time strategy games. They're naturally going to be designed differently to suit their respective gameplay styles (and limitations of the hardware.) But since Hey Pikmin doesn't have any peers in the series, there's not really anything close you ''can'' compare it to. So I'm not sure on this one.

# (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)

# (Nominator:) We had a poll like this when ''Pikmin for Nintendo 3DS'' was first announced, so it's worth having another one now that ''Pikmin 4'' has been announced.

* I think it may be worth slightly breaking our 2-month pattern for this poll. ''Pikmin 4'' comes out on July 21st, just 11 days before the start of a poll period. We could run this poll for the June-July period, but end it early at the release date, and start the next poll (preferably "[[#What do you think of Pikmin 4 so far?|What do you think of ''Pikmin 4'' so far?]]") on the same day. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 02:14, March 4, 2023 (EST)
** If we want to use this one, we better do it fast, because a new trailer can show up at any moment and give us new things, making this poll outdated. As for breaking up the format, I don't think we need to. This can be the April-May poll. Plus, it's not such a good idea to plop down the "What do you think" poll directly on the release day since a lot of people won't even have a chance to play it, much less form an opinion. I think giving it some weeks is better. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:46, March 5, 2023 (EST)

# This one feels kind of... iffy.  I'm not sure how one could really have a favorite hazard - I mean, they're ''all'' bad, right?  People would just gravitate towards whatever does the least damage and/or is the easiest to avoid.  Fire, water, and poison are also more-or-less the same thing.  Unless this poll is about people's favorite ways to kill Pikmin.  And that's simultaneously fantastic, and something that would probably never happen.

#* I was originally going to word this as "Which is the best hazard", to make it clear that the question is about game design, but poll ideas in the past that have featured "the best" have often had that replaced with "your favorite" because it makes it clearer that the poll is subjective.

** I think the number of choices is fine. But if it had to be split, it could be only bosses that were introduced in ''Pikmin 2'', or only bosses that appear in ''Pikmin 1'' and ''2''. {{User:Cheepy/sig}}

**** The poll could be split up into bosses per area (but the Empress Bulblax kinda messes that up a bit), and there could be some sort of mystical fifth poll with the winners of the other four, to find out which is the best... or maybe not.  I don't know. <br> But I'm calling it right now, if this poll makes it, the winner's gonna be the Waterwraith. -[[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 19:51, November 29, 2022 (EST)
***** A tournament-style poll series could be quite an interesting idea. To avoid having it take nearly a year, each poll could be 2 weeks long, with 3 or 4 initial rounds and one final round. But the grouping of bosses into initial rounds would be quite arbitrary and it would affect the outcome significantly.
