I think total enemy counts should be added as a column for enemy stats. I'm apprehensive to implement this, as I believe some of the enemy counts for areas and caves are inaccurate. For example, the page for the Wistful Wild doesn't list Ravenous Whiskerpillars in it's enemy count list, despite the area having the aforementioned enemies. Could this be due to an error with the read values from the internal game files being wrong (namely TekiInfo sections)? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ladishchap • (talk) • (contribs)

Well, most counts on the wiki are wrong or incomplete. Even cave sublevels have a warning about how they're being read wrong. Progress is being made to rectify that. That said, for Pikmin 2, the numbers will never be correct, since the random sublevel generation can generate a variable number of some enemies. And even then, all games have side modes, and enemies that respawn in story mode. Finally, counting everything just for a final stat might not be that interesting. If somebody really wants to do that, and count everything properly with the help of the game's files, there might be a spot somewhere on the wiki for it. Otherwise, I don't think so. — {EspyoT} 17:16, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
