The following are approved polls that aren't used yet, but will be one day. Until then, they sit here. The process behind what polls get decided is detailed in the policy page. Please do not edit or vote on these polls, since they have already been approved. You may comment on them, though.

What is your favorite Awakening Wood cave?

  • Hole of Beasts
  • White Flower Garden
  • Bulblax Kingdom
  • Snagret Hole
No opposers or comments

  1. (Nominator:) Fairly obvious question. Although it's not very fun, it's still one of those "must have" polls. Suggested here. — {EspyoT} 09:19, 9 June 2018 (EDT)
  2. Well, it's an interesting question to ask I think. I'm Hugik, big fan of Pikmin. Want to talk ? 05:23, March 13, 2019 (EDT)

Do you prefer to control the cursor with motion controls or the analog stick?

  • Analog stick
  • Motion controls
No opposers

Support

  1. (Nominator:) I tried to see if this was suggested before, and I didn't find it. It seems like something everybody has an opinion on. Do people prefer the Gamecube controls or Wii remote controls? Burrhead2 (talk) 13:08, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
  2. A good question. — Soprano(talk) 18:21, August 29, 2021 (EDT)
  3. — {EspyoT} 12:04, September 5, 2021 (EDT)

Comments

  • We currently have a poll nominee asking about control schemes specific to Deluxe, so would this question be redundant? —Midnight blue (talk) 19:16, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
    • I was thinking more in general, because, for Pikmin and Pikmin 2, some people prefer the standard button and stick controls, and some people refer the Wii remote's pointer. I figured this question to be across the whole series, so I guess it is kinda redundant in the area of P3DX, but maybe some people's opinions differ between games? Or maybe this question should be split off to ask whether they prefer the control types for each game. Burrhead2 (talk) 19:33, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
      • I think this question can still work, but it should be rewritten. Instead of saying "Do you prefer button or pointer controls?" (which is ambiguous), it should say "Do you prefer to control the cursor with motion controls or the analog stick?" There should also only be 2 options, because otherwise a lot of people would pick the neutral option. — Soprano(talk) 04:45, August 29, 2021 (EDT)
        • Works for me. Burrhead2 (talk) 15:36, August 29, 2021 (EDT)
        • Agreed with the non-ambiguous approach. — {EspyoT} 12:04, September 5, 2021 (EDT)

How do you feel about the first Pikmin game's time limit?

  • It's very stressful and short.
  • It's not stressful, but it is short.
  • It's stressful, but fair.
  • It's nothing special.
  • It's too forgiving.

Support

  1. (Nominator:) On the Pikmin Discord, we were discussing why some people find the time limit to be "hard". It occurred to me that we can just ask the community at large. With these options, I'm mostly trying to gauge the stress factor and the time constraint's fairness. We can probably add more options to further gauge what players find "hard". — {EspyoT} 10:35, 13 June 2017 (EDT)
  2. I think this is a good poll idea because it requires some thought and answers a useful question. Pikmin's time limit is controversial, and I think a poll like this would be interesting for that reason. — Soprano(talk) 19:43, November 10, 2020 (EST)
  3. --PastelP (talk) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)
  4. Although the game's old, I feel this has the potential to be interesting. -Burrhead2 (talk) 20:07, November 29, 2022 (EST)

Oppose

  1. The game may be over a decade old, but as players like myself learn how to play more efficiently, they would see their opinions on the game's difficulty and time limit change (for example, I struggled to make it to the Forest Navel as a kid, but now my best run in the game is 12 days.) I wouldn't think this poll could achieve any concrete entries as many who have played Pikmin 1 in the past would probably find it much easier or even harder today. |\|TechnoMan|/| (talk) 21:13, 18 July 2017 (CDT)

Comments

  • There's a lot of options, I'm not sure we really need that many for this question. "It's nothing special" especially seems unnecessary. — Bossclips(talk) 13:14, November 30, 2020 (EST)
  • The question should make it very clear that it's talking specifically about the first game, not the series in general. — Soprano(talk) 04:45, August 29, 2021 (EDT)
    • Agreed. — {EspyoT} 12:04, September 5, 2021 (EDT)

Have you gotten all Platinum in Pikmin 3's Mission Mode?

  • Yes!
  • No, but I'm still trying
  • No, and I'm not going to try

Support

  1. (Nominator:) It'd be a nice way to gauge how hardcore players are for Mission Mode. — {EspyoT} 10:27, 1 April 2018 (EDT)
  2. I agree. This sounds like a good poll. --Ben (talk) 00:16, November 18, 2019 (EST)
  3. Relevant — Bossclips(talk) 13:14, November 30, 2020 (EST)
  4. --PastelP (talk) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)

Oppose

  1. I think this question would have too many cases where people would be unsure (1-player or 2-player? Original or Deluxe?), and so it probably wouldn't get very interesting results. — Soprano(talk) 17:38, December 21, 2020 (EST)

Comments

  • It's worth noting that Pikmin 3 has separate medals for 1 player and Co-op mode in Mission Mode, and I'm not sure if there's a graceful way for a poll to account for that. Midnight blue (talk) 18:27, August 28, 2021 (EDT)


What do you feel about glitches in the series?

  • I reproduce them a lot!
  • I'm always trying to find them!
  • I like seeing them be found and investigated.
  • I think they're dangerous.
  • I don't know of almost any glitch.
No opposers

Support

  1. (Nominator:) A niche topic, but with broad enough answers that could poll all audiences. I definitely recommend everyone suggests better answers, though. — {EspyoT} 16:10, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
  2. --Ben (talk) 00:34, November 25, 2019 (EST)
  3. I think this poll is pretty interesting, though it could use better options. — Soprano(talk) 03:01, August 8, 2021 (EDT)

Comments

  • There's a few too many options again, but an interesting topic. — Bossclips(talk) 13:14, November 30, 2020 (EST)
  • What about "I read about them, but avoid using them myself?" 1337Walrus (talk) 06:45, December 1, 2020 (EST)
  • I feel like "how do you feel about glitches" is a bit too vague of a question, since you could get a lot of similar (but different enough) answers to it. However, I'm not sure how you could make the question better. Midnight blue (talk) 18:37, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
  • I'll note that I only supported this poll idea after I got interested in glitches in the series, which shows that it's a bit of a weird question to ask to people who haven't really thought about glitches much. — Soprano(talk) 01:28, September 16, 2022 (EDT)

Which Pikmin game has the best area design?

  • Pikmin
  • Pikmin 2
  • Pikmin 3
No opposers

Support

  1. (Nominator:) Each game has quite different approaches to designing its areas, so a poll like this could see what people think about each one. — Soprano(talk) 19:47, November 10, 2020 (EST)
  2. — {EspyoT} 14:54, November 11, 2020 (EST)
  3. -Burrhead2 (talk) 19:39, June 18, 2022 (EDT)
  4. --PastelP (talk) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)

Comments

  • Hey! and 2 seem outclassed in this poll. — Bossclips(talk) 13:14, November 30, 2020 (EST)
    • Actually yeah, H!P probably doesn't make much sense since it's in a genre of its own. Don't get what you mean about 2 being outclassed though. Should I remove H!P from the options? — {EspyoT} 13:25, June 1, 2021 (EDT)
      • Hey! Pikmin still has area design, even if it's done in a totally different way to the 3D games. It's still comparable enough in my opinion. — Soprano(talk) 03:01, August 8, 2021 (EDT)
        • I don't think it's fair to compare the design of stages from a 2D puzzle-ish side scroller to those of 3D real-time strategy games. They're naturally going to be designed differently to suit their respective gameplay styles (and limitations of the hardware.) But since Hey Pikmin doesn't have any peers in the series, there's not really anything close you can compare it to. So I'm not sure on this one. Midnight blue (talk) 18:55, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
          • Guess that's settled, no H!P. — {EspyoT} 12:04, September 5, 2021 (EDT)

Do you own any Pikmin merchandise?

  • Yes, a lot.
  • Yes, a little.
  • No, but I want to!
  • No, and I don't want to.
No opposers

Support

  1. (Nominator:) A simple merchandise-related poll. — Soprano(talk) 18:32, August 21, 2021 (EDT)
  2. — {EspyoT} 13:06, August 26, 2021 (EDT)
  3. --PastelP (talk) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)

Comments

  • Would an answer along the lines of "I want to, but I can't get any" be viable? There doesn't exist a lot of official Pikmin merch, and a good portion of it has only ever been released in Japan. —Midnight blue (talk) 19:08, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
    • Hm, on one hand, I feel like it makes sense to include it, but on the other hand, I feel like that'd be the majority of votes. Folks in countries where merch is sold don't read Pikipedia much, I don't think. Then again, people can just buy exported merch online... I really don't know. — {EspyoT} 12:04, September 5, 2021 (EDT)

Which ship has your favorite exterior design?

  • S.S. Dolphin
  • Hocotate ship
  • S.S. Drake
  • S.S. Dolphin II
No opposers

Support

  1. (Nominator:) We haven't had a poll about the ships before, and it could be interesting considering all the ships are quite unique. — Soprano(talk) 02:17, September 19, 2021 (EDT)
  2. — {EspyoT} 12:38, September 30, 2021 (EDT)
  3. I'd love to see talk about the exterior design, but could the gold Hocotate ship be counted separate from the standard Hocotate ship? --PastelP (talk) 15:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)
    • It's probably not a good idea to mention the gold Hocotate ship in the poll because of spoilers. — Soprano(talk) 15:31, November 25, 2022 (EST)
  4. -Burrhead2 (talk) 19:45, November 29, 2022 (EST)

Comments

  • Is this really such a good idea as it is? The S.S. Dolphin doesn't speak (although Olimar mentions it does, we never see it), and the S.S. Drake only spits some info about collected items. Only the Hocotate ship and the S.S. Dolphin II actually have any personality, and the Hocotate ship blows the other one out of the park, no contest. Maybe we should change the poll to be about the ship's exterior design? — {EspyoT} 16:24, September 19, 2021 (EDT)
    • Yep, changing the poll to be about exterior design makes a lot of sense. I originally intended the question to be about comparing the different aspects of the ships, like the way the S.S. Dolphin adds new parts and the Hocotate ship's personality, but I realize that it's awkward to compare different attributes. Exterior design will make for a more interesting poll. — Soprano(talk) 20:29, September 26, 2021 (EDT)
