This page is where users dump their ideas for [[Pikipedia:Poll|polls]], as well as improve existing ones, or vote whether they like them or not. These decisions are for what polls the wiki should have, not for what poll will be next. Details on the process behind a poll's life cycle can be found in the [[Pikipedia:Poll policy|policy page]].
This page is where users suggest their ideas for [[Pikipedia:Poll|polls]], as well as comment on other poll ideas or vote on whether they like them or not. These decisions are for what polls should be asked on the wiki, not for what poll will be next. New poll ideas should start out in the "Ideas that need work" section, and once it's clear that the poll doesn't have problems and is ready to be asked, a staff member can move it to the "Ready ideas" section. Note that staff members selecting the next poll can choose ideas from either section.

* Hey! and 2 seem outclassed in this poll. &mdash; [[User:Bossclips|'''Bossclips''']]<sub>[[User talk:Bossclips|''(talk)'']]</sub> 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? &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 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. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 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. [[User:Midnight blue|Midnight blue]] ([[User talk:Midnight blue|talk]]) 18:55, August 28, 2021 (EDT)

* Depending on how this poll is received, polls for the other games could be submitted as well.  (With any changes, of course) [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 14:11, April 30, 2022 (EDT)
* Is this referring to the first game, or to the whole series? If the former, then there's [[Pikipedia:Poll/archived ideas#How do you feel about the first Pikmin game's time limit?|a similar idea above]]. Maybe they could both be merged? &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:07, May 21, 2022 (EDT)
**First game.  That's the issue with having a series and game with the same name.  I'm not too sure about the merge, though.  The questions are somewhat similar, but I feel they're still somewhat different. [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 19:33, June 18, 2022 (EDT)
*** I've reworded the poll to have "''Pikmin 1''" instead now that that name is acceptable.

* Perhaps this question could be reworked, so instead of being "What Pikmin 1/2 area would you most like to see remastered using Pikmin 3's engine?", it could be "What area would you most like to see brought back and updated in a future ''Pikmin'' game?". That way it wouldn't be so unrealistic, and could also cover ''Pikmin 3'' areas. Though, the resulting poll would have a lot of options. Perhaps some of the areas in ''Pikmin'' and their ''Pikmin 2'' counterparts could be combined in the poll options. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:36, August 26, 2021 (EDT)

==So far, all of the main series ''Pikmin'' games have been re-released on a later console. How do you feel about this?==
* I think the re-releases are great and that ''Pikmin'' games should be re-released on more consoles.
* I think the re-releases that already exist are good and there doesn't need to be more of them.
* I like the re-releases, but Nintendo should be prioritizing new games, even if it means there are fewer total ''Pikmin'' games.
* I don't like the re-releases; the original games are good enough.

The fact that there are 2 "yes" options and 1 "no" option could be seen as encouraging vote-splitting though. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:36, October 8, 2021 (EDT)

* Hm, I'm not sure... I think every fan alive would like to see them be back in Story Mode; I have not once the opposite opinion. And an option for not having an opinion already exists in a way &ndash; it's not voting in the first place :P &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:51, October 9, 2021 (EDT)
* We currently have a poll nominee asking about control schemes specific to Deluxe, so would this question be redundant? &mdash;[[User:Midnight blue|Midnight blue]] ([[User talk:Midnight blue|talk]]) 19:16, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
** In the Pikcord, I've seen a few people against the idea of Purple and White Pikmin returning. (I'd probably vote for that option, or the redesign option.) And the "no opinion" option was taken from the cave poll from a few years ago; I wouldn't have included it otherwise. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:48, October 9, 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. [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 19:33, August 28, 2021 (EDT)
*** Hm, the other poll's option was more about people wanting to voice their opinion, but being pleased with either outcome, as opposed to just not having an opinion. But yeah, in retrospect I don't think the cave poll's option made sense either. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:19, October 11, 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. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:45, August 29, 2021 (EDT)

**First game.  That's the issue with having a series and game with the same name.  I'm not too sure about the merge, though.  The questions are somewhat similar, but I feel they're still somewhat different. [[User:Burrhead2|Burrhead2]] ([[User talk:Burrhead2|talk]]) 19:33, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

# (Nominator:) We had a poll like this when ''Pikmin for Nintendo 3DS'' was first announced, so it's worth having another one now that ''Pikmin 4'' has been announced. However, with only a short trailer so far, it's hard to come up with options for it... &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:28, September 16, 2022 (EDT)
# Great idea for a poll, but perhaps it's best to wait until we know more of the game. Perhaps by the time the next trailer / infodump comes. —[[User:Veldhuis94|Veldhuis94]] ([[User talk:Veldhuis94|talk]]) 03:38, September 16, 2022 (EDT)

* I'd remove the option about the fact that it even exists, because it's a bit of a cop-out feel-good hype answer. Doesn't really give any interesting insight. I'd also rephrase it as to not make it sound like we ''know'' of the upcoming changes. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:17, January 2, 2023 (EST)
* I think it may be worth slightly breaking our 2-month pattern for this poll. ''Pikmin 4'' comes out on July 21st, just 11 days before the start of a poll period. We could run this poll for the June-July period, but end it early at the release date, and start the next poll (preferably "[[#What do you think of Pikmin 4 so far?|What do you think of ''Pikmin 4'' so far?]]") on the same day. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 02:14, March 4, 2023 (EST)
** If we want to use this one, we better do it fast, because a new trailer can show up at any moment and give us new things, making this poll outdated. As for breaking up the format, I don't think we need to. This can be the April-May poll. Plus, it's not such a good idea to plop down the "What do you think" poll directly on the release day since a lot of people won't even have a chance to play it, much less form an opinion. I think giving it some weeks is better. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:46, March 5, 2023 (EST)
