Pure canon is all information that is undoubtedly canon; events that "really happened" in the ''Pikmin'' universe. This is mostly decided by the parties that develop the games and media related to the ''Pikmin'' franchise, meaning {{w|Nintendo EAD}} and [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

Currently, the [[story mode]]s of the main ''Pikmin'' games – {{p1}}, {{p2}} and {{p3}} – are considered canon. {{hp}} is a spin-off game due to being a different genre and using some different mechanics from the main games, but since the story doesn't contradict the other games besides some small inconsistencies, ''Hey! Pikmin'' is generally considered canon. Bonus content, such as the [[Cutscenes#Louie's Dark Secret|reward]] obtained by completing all [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|''Pikmin 2'' Challenge Mode]] levels with a pink flower, can vary in canon, but whenever it does not contradict with – and makes sense within the context of – the main story mode, it is considered canon.
Currently, the [[story mode]]s of the first three ''Pikmin'' games – {{p1}}, {{p2}} and {{p3}} – are considered canon. {{hp}} is a spin-off game due to being a different genre and using some different mechanics from the main games, but since the story doesn't contradict the other games besides some small inconsistencies, ''Hey!

{{p4}} contradicts much of the information from the previous titles, and (for the purposes of documentation within this wiki) is considered within its own equally important canon.
