'''Pikmin extinction''' occurs when every single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] of a given type is lost. There are two types of extinction: a total one, which is declared when all Pikmin are lost, and a partial one, which happens when there are no Pikmin of a certain type in the area. | '''Pikmin extinction''' occurs when every single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] of a given type is lost.

If they do not treat the Pikmin given to them with care, they will be easy prey to all manner of enemies and could quickly lead to another extinction. To prevent this from happening, the safest place to [[Propagate Pikmin quickly|grow Pikmin]] after an extinction is [[The Impact Site]] in the first ''Pikmin'' game, and in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' the [[Awakening Wood]] is safe so long as one does not stray too far from the landing site. | ||
