- This has been discussed in the Discord channel several times, but a name has never been agreed upon. The key problems are that there is no word to describe all the alien creatures from the different planets in Pikmin 4 collectively, and that it's not certain what type of writing system it is. Terms suggested for the first word of the title include "Hocotatian", "Koppaite", "Giyan", "alien", "intergalactic", "interplanetary", "interstellar", "secret", "galactic", "Pikmin", "space", and "unnamed". Terms suggested for the second word of the title include "text", "alphabet", "script", "cipher", "language", "writing", and "font". — Soprano(talk) 16:55, December 18, 2023 (EST)
