The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature | The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature Picture Book}}) is an in-game list of all the [[Enemy|enemies]] and [[plant]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that the player has come in contact with throughout their exploration. The player can access the [[Menu/Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard|Piklopedia's menu]] by pressing {{button|gc|l|wii|padl}} when on the [[Menu/Area selection|area selection menu]]. | ||
This catalog also keeps track of how many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have been lost to each enemy, how many of said enemy the player has defeated so far, and how many [[Poko]]s the enemy is worth. For fields that cannot be counted, four dashes appear instead. On top of that, it also contains [[#Notes|notes]] written down by Olimar and Louie. Selecting the slot of a creature that has not been seen yet will just produce static on the main "screen", and their grid slots will show their Piklopedia number, instead of their icon. | This catalog also keeps track of how many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have been lost to each enemy, how many of said enemy the player has defeated so far, and how many [[Poko]]s the enemy is worth.

Both [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]] write some notes about every entry in the Piklopedia. These notes are merely for fun and for world-building, and rarely contain any information useful for gameplay. Only the notes of unlocked entries can be seen. The comments written by both return in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] of {{p3d | Both [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]] write some notes about every entry in the Piklopedia.

Louie's recipies tend to mention ingredients in an out-of-universe sense; that is, they often involve real-world foods regardless of whether this makes sense from the perspective of someone from Hocotate. Either the plants of Hocotate are more similar to Earth's than one might expect given the difference in climate, or Louie's notes have been localized into Earth terms for the pleasure of gourmets from all worlds. | |||
