Last time I was here, every enemy page had a "How to Kill" section. For some reason I can't imagine, most of them now read "Killing Strategies." It just sounds...weird, and quite honestly, the first time I read it I thought it referred to strategies used by the enemy to kill Pikmin. Somebody obviously did it intentionally though, so instead of just undoing it I'd like to discuss what the community thinks of it and if we can find a better alternative. I vote for just "Strategy." Simple, sweet, and doesn't doesn't make us sound like a bunch of bloodthirsty hack-and-slashers. —Jimbo Jambo 18:01, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't make much sense to me. They technically die as seen when their spirit flies out of their corpse. Maybe replacing the word Kill with Defeat may make it better.--FREAK ~GameGame Freak Logo.png Freak~OUT!
Feel free to revert them, BNK decided to change most of them entirely on his own. Miles. 13:26, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure 'how to kill' is best, though, 'cause you can't kill them all - what do you put for, say, Ravenous Whiskerpillar? You get inconsistencies. Using 'defeat' in its place does make a bit more sense, but 'how to X' seems a bit informal to me, and I expect that was the reasoning behind BNK changing them. I guess I'm for 'how to defeat' if there are no other ideas. GP
I still vote for "Strategy," unless we don't want to sound so...strategic. —Jimbo Jambo 05:30, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


Preposition from Revan

Instead of "How to kill", make a "Strengths and Weaknesses" And make it more encyclopedic. Such as "This creature has a large mouth and can gobble many pikmin in one bite, but it is slow and easy to surround and evoid" -Revan 21:40, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

It may not work for some enemies. I think it should still be kill, but maybe changing it to defeat will make it "more suitable". --FREAK ~GameGame Freak Logo.png Freak~OUT!
