I'll use this table to figure out, once and for all, what happens in every extinction-related scenario, in every game.

Loose notes
What a mess this is...

Well, nothing happened then. The Onion will only eject a seed 1) the day after the extinction 2) if there are no Pikmin of that type planted somewhere on the area 2016-07-28 20:58:42	@Espyo	right 2016-07-28 20:58:45	@Espyo	that's good info to add 2016-07-28 20:59:30	Marty2000	For Pikmin 2, entering a cave and leaving it is considered as "a new day" (it's the same behaviour as P1, except that you can enter and leave the cave to have an Onion eject a seed, instead of ending the day) 2016-07-28 21:02:07	@Espyo	right 2016-07-28 21:20:41	Scruffy	So in /Pikmin/, there's an extinction cutscene only if you begin a day an area with no Pikmin of one type and there are no Pikmin buried there? 2016-07-28 21:24:38	Marty2000	Yes 2016-07-28 21:26:21	Scruffy	Cool, so that means it may not necessarily be an extinction if Pikmin are buried in a different area, but the game treats it as an extinction

 Espyo: "Outside, 99 Yellows + 1 Red in the area, swap your last Red for a Yellow." In P1, if you land in the same area, the red will appear in the Onion  Same in P3 (tested yesterday) ...  I have a single Yellow Pikmin awaiting its death and a White Pikmin ready to bring a corpse to the Red Onion  by bringing a corpse to an Onion, the Onion will eject seeds  it's only possible if the Onion ejects seeds  A Mamuta/Snitchbug can't bury 100 Pikmin, only 99, but the Onion can make the 100th  Ok, no Yellow Pikmin left, 100 Red Pikmin buried.  The Yellow Onion ejected a seed!  it didn't appear IN the Onion  like in the other games...  One of the buried Pikmin gets sent back to its Onion, I suppose

In this ^ case, P2 removes the buried Pikmin farthest from the Yellow Onion.

P1's extinction log entry triggers are simple: If in a given day, you got the cutscene with the on-screen "Pikmin extinction!" text, then that night's log will be about the total extinction. If at the start of a given day you got the cutscene where affected Onions spit out seeds, then that night's log will be about the partial extinction. You can also get the partial extinction entry on the day after a total extinction. Also, you only get these entries once per playthrough.

P3's extinction log entry only triggers if you let all Pikmin die via sunset.

Does the P3 Onion creating a Pikmin inside thing have a cutscene?
