There are 71 messages in all, with a few of them categorized as [[unused content in Pikmin|unused content]]. In-game, the log chosen depends on the activities that happened that day. For example, if Olimar discovered a new mechanic about the Pikmin, he'll write about that, and if not, he might write about any new enemy he found that day. If there is nothing of interest to write about, Olimar will write a miscellaneous journal entry, reminiscing about life on his [[Hocotate|home planet]] and about his chances of survival. | There are 71 messages in all, with a few of them categorized as [[unused content in Pikmin|unused content]].
