-Hey, that’s pretty good with the FNAF idea. However, since FNAF isn’t a Nintendo game, so I don’t know how well it would go over. I’ll bet one of the admins could figure this out though.

+::When the joke is about a Pikmin version of something else, there's usually a specific reason as to why that game or movie was picked. With Color Splash, it was because the game's mechanics were very controversial to the fans, and if something like that happened to the Pikmin series, it'd be just as controversial. With Pik-Min, it was to tie in with the other wikis's Marvel Cinematic Universe jokes, and because out of all Marvel franchises, Ant-Man is easily the most Pikmin-like. With Hotel Pikmin, the intro to Hotel Mario was picked because it's an iconic meme.
+::Simply making a Pikmin game out of Odyssey directly wouldn't be interesting or funny to the reader, since there is no reason for having picked that game, and there are no clear connections. As for FNAF not being a Nintendo franchise, that's not a problem. We've made a joke with a Marvel movie, which isn't even related to video games, so using FNAF is fine. Plus, these jokes aren't real products, of course, and they're just parodies and goofs, making it next to impossible for companies to claim copyright infringement. They probably don't want to bother either, since they're minor jokes, and it would be bad PR to attack jokes like that.
+::That said, there's more of a reason to use FNAF (like you said, because of all the scary stuff), but there are still very few connections. Maybe it could work, but it'd need serious discussion and consideration, in my opinion. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 19:07, March 15, 2019 (EDT)
