The other species article (since deleted) had things added from the above page. Those were competition entries DO NOT add them here. I've only posed the link here because it's fun to read.

I don't think the species names of the Pikmin are entirely accurate. I checked both games' in-game text, both manuals, the official Pikmin site, and never found scientific names listed. Google searches just came up with encyclopedia pages similar to this, just with somewhat less credibility. Whoever came up with the names probably just took the scientific names of [[Candypop Bud]]s and changed the genus name to ''Pikminicus''. I hate to be a spoil sport, but if the names don't come from an official source, they probably shouldn't be listed on the pages... {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | I don't think the species names of the Pikmin are entirely accurate.

Oh, right, wanting to rename this comes from the technicalities of terms used in real-world classification? In that case, I know nothing, so sure; would enemy families be called species, then (not that articles are titled that way, but the term's often used in their opening paragraphs)? If not, what makes them families and not species like this? Aren't, say, the Wollywogs as similar to each other as the Pikmin colours? | |||
And just a small thing, if the page gets renamed, either ''Pikmin (species)'' or ''Pikmin species'' is fine, just make sure to have a lower-case ''s'' on ''species''.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | |||
