=== Things not in ''Pikmin 4'' === | |||
[[File:Bulbmin and young.jpg|thumb|[[Bulbmin]] are among the most reasonable things to list as absent from ''Pikmin 4''.]] | |||
{{see|Pikipedia:April Fool's Day/Things not in Pikmin 4}} | |||
Among other ideas, SupremeKirb came up with making a joke article listing things not in {{p4}}. Shortly after the team got to work on this year's joke. | |||
The article was almost not done since other April Fool's ideas were being discussed back and forth, and the basic outline for what the list should be about wasn't well defined. After all, it's very easy to just list a lot of [[wiktionary:randumb|randumb]] non sequiturs, but that's hardly any fun or interesting. Still, the team knew there was some potential there, so they kept trying different things. Over time more and more unique jokes came to the surface, and the list became a mix of things that complement the "humorous list of things not in ''Pikmin 4''" idea well: legitimate omissions from the past games, debatable omissions, stretches, omissions on a technicality, wild assumptions, oddly-specific things, things that ''obviously'' could never be in ''Pikmin 4'', things that ''obviously'' could never be in the ''Pikmin'' series to begin with, and so on. | |||
Alongside the list the structure of the article had to be carefully tweaked in order to pace the flow of jokes properly, trick the reader into making it look like a real article at first, be unexpected at every turn, and vary the kind of humor each tidbit had. This sort of list is something that can be added to almost indefinitely, but mostly because of time the page was finalized a few hours before the day, with 35 sections. If you have any ideas that work feel free to add them to the page, but ''please'' make sure they're funny and aren't just random nonsense. | |||
