The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature | The '''Piklopedia''' ({{j|生物図鑑|Seibutsu Zukan|Creature Field Guide}}) is an in-game list of all the [[Enemy|enemies]] and [[plant]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that the player has come in contact with throughout their exploration. The player can access the [[Menu/Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard|Piklopedia's menu]] by pressing {{button|gc|l|wii|padl}} when on the [[Menu/Area selection|area selection menu]]. | ||
This catalog also keeps track of how many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have been lost to each enemy, how many of said enemy the player has defeated so far, and how many [[Poko]]s the enemy is worth. For fields that cannot be counted, four dashes appear instead. On top of that, it also contains [[#Notes|notes]] written down by Olimar and Louie. Selecting the slot of a creature that has not been seen yet will just produce static on the main "screen", and their grid slots will show their Piklopedia number, instead of their icon. | This catalog also keeps track of how many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have been lost to each enemy, how many of said enemy the player has defeated so far, and how many [[Poko]]s the enemy is worth.

Both [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]] write some notes about every entry in the Piklopedia. These notes are merely for fun and for world-building, and rarely contain any information useful for gameplay. Only the notes of unlocked entries can be seen. The comments written by both return in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] of {{p3d}}, almost verbatim. | Both [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]] write some notes about every entry in the Piklopedia.

Olimar's notes focus on giving information about the creature, including its habits, biological features, and mysteries. They can be read by picking an entry and pressing {{button|gc|x|wii|+}}. His notes are always available as long as the entry is available. | Olimar's notes focus on giving information about the creature, including its scientific name, habits, biological features, and mysteries.

Interestingly, Louie references ingredients found on Earth (cultivated in oxygen).

These ingredients could not possibly be known by Louie, as Hocotate has a severely different climate. A possible explanation would be that Hocotatian plants often have similar appearances to those found on Earth, meaning that Louie would be using the names he is familiar with for a completely different plant. | ||

*The [[Bulborb]] icon used to represent the Piklopedia within the [[area selection menu]] is unique and does not seem to be exactly derived from any particular Bulborb variant in ''Pikmin 2''. Peculiarly, when examined very closely, the icon seems to be derived from the model of the juvenile [[Bulbmin]] (as evidenced by its completely black eyes, leg coloration and proportions, and white spot placement) with the leaf stem removed. Interestingly, the internal name for the texture is <code>chapy</code>, whereas the internal name for Bulborbs is usually spelled <code>chappy</code>. | *The [[Bulborb]] icon used to represent the Piklopedia within the [[area selection menu]] is unique and does not seem to be exactly derived from any particular Bulborb variant in ''Pikmin 2''.

*According to Olimar's notes on the [[Shoot]] in the Japanese version, the team's reports on the planet's wildlife are based on information obtained using "portable scanners", with the hope that researchers will become interested in studying it. | |||
