Articles about games in the ''Pikmin'' series should have the following sections, in the following order, except when not possible or not applicable. On top of these, the "usual" article content policies and guidelines make sense here too, like the [[Template:Infobox game|infobox]] and the existence of a gallery. | {{shortcut|P:GAME}} | ||
Articles about games in the ''Pikmin'' series should have the following sections, in the following order, except when not possible or not applicable. On top of these, the "usual" article content policies and guidelines make sense here too, like the [[Template:Infobox game|infobox]] and the existence of a gallery. Remakes are mostly identical to the originals, so their articles should focus on the differences instead. Secondary games, like the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] shouldn't really follow these guidelines. | |||
The opening paragraphs (before any section) should give an introduction to the game, and should also mention the following points: | The opening paragraphs (before any section) should give an introduction to the game, and should also mention the following points: | ||

Plot connections with other games. Start with games from the series, and only add games outside the series second. This section should only give a very brief highlight of how the game's plot is related to other games. In other words, it shouldn't explain that the Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin 2'' are shaded a similar tone to the Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin'', but it should explain how the plot starts right after Olimar's return from ''Pikmin''. It should also serve as a way for readers to understand if they need to play a different game first before this one, so they don't miss out on any plot. | Plot connections with other games.
