*The entries for the [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]] and the [[Volatile Dweevil]] on the [[Piklopedia]] point out that the creatures have an associated [[Poko]] value of 1 and 0, respectively. These values provide no useful information to the player, given that Ravenous Whiskerpillars cannot appear [[Cave|underground]], and Volatile Dweevils cannot be retrieved to the research pod. It is possible that they could at an earlier point in development, and that this value is a remnant of that time; other moot values, such as the Poko count of a [[Pellet Posy]] are displayed as "----", further confusing matters.

*In ''Pikmin 2'', Pikmin [[carrying]] an object while under the effects of an [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]] will keep carrying the object at the same speed if the spray's boost ends while they're still carrying it.

*In ''Pikmin 2'', [[the ship]] does not distinguish between a [[Pikmin extinction]] in the previous day and one in a cave, so if the player loses all Pikmin of one type by use of [[Candypop family|Candypop Buds]] and goes to the surface, the ship will state that there was a Pikmin extinction "yesterday".

There are some inconsistencies regarding the kind of materials and objects Hocotatians have and do not have in [[Hocotate|their home planet]]. At the very least, these constitute as mysteries, given that it is not know how comparable the objects and elements in Hocotate are to their real world counterparts.

This description was exaggerated, given that Hocotatians are familiar to the likes of light bulbs, given the [[UV Lamp]]'s existence.

===Oxygen===
===Oxygen===
Oxygen is known to be poisonous to Hocotatians <ref>"''To make matters worse, my atmospheric sensors indicate this planet's environment contains high levels of poisonous oxygen.''" &ndash; Olimar [[Olimar's monologs in Pikmin 1|monologing]] in ''Pikmin''</ref>. There are times, however, where Hocotatians are known to interact with oxygen gas with no adverse effects.

*On [[Louie's Notes]], he mentions several plants and vegetables on his cooking recipes, although most of these ingredients need to be cultivated with oxygen. It could, however, be the case that Louie is referring to using the treasures obtained on [[PNF-404]] as the ingredients.

This could be referring to the feathers on its head, if not for the fact that it addresses ''blue'' feathers specifically.

*Page 23 of the English ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' instruction manual details how it is possible to slow down a [[Red Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] by holding onto its feet with Pikmin. "Holding" is spelled as "holdung", however; a trivial mistake to make on a [[wikipedia:QWERTY|QWERTY keyboard]], given that the '''U''' and the '''I''' keys are quite close to one another.

*One of the [[2-Player Battle#Advisories|advisories for 2-Player Battle]] says that the player can hold up to four roulette spins. This is technically correct, but misleading, as the player can actually store five powers &ndash; the four queued ''spins'' plus the current power on standby.

Waaah!''" &ndash; Louie in [[Mission Mode]]</ref>. It is currently not known if Louis is his real name, and Louie is a nickname, or if this is the result of a mistranslation or typo.

*At a few times during the course of ''Pikmin 3'', characters may say the expression "now I think of it", when referring to something they have realized. The most common expression is actually "now '''that''' I think of it", leaving the existence of this version a mystery. There is no official stance on the fact that "now I think of it" is inept for these situations, so whether this is an alternate, but valid wording, or actually a mistake is up for debate.

*One of Alph's voyage logs in the European [[Region|version]] has him mention the [[Captain Charlie|Captain]]'s sleeping nightmares. In it, he writes "the Captain cried out "Elizabeth!" several times while his was sleeping." The "his" in the sentence should be a "he".
