Hey! Pikmin enemy stats

Hi Espyo. I've noticed that nearly every single Hey! Pikmin enemy stat table isn't filled out, or is only partially filled out, so I've been wondering if pikipedia can change it. This is probably because much of the categories (Weight, max carriers, regen, and seeds (pikmin seeds) are irrelevant as none of these mechanics are used in that game. Pikipedia was should probably invent a different stats table exclusive to Hey! Pikmin enemies. For enemies that appear in hey! Pikmin and other games (bulborb, fiery blowhog), there can be 2 different stats tables for those enemies, one for the main games, and one for H!P. I was thinking we can delete the max carriers, weight, and regen categories, and replace the seeds with sparklium, which some enemies drop upon death. We can also fix the health category by putting in the number of pikmin/pikmin hits needed to kill it, since there seems to not be any health values recorded. Although this would be smaller

Quick question

Can you shoot me an email-- wait, nevermind, I found a way to the google doc through my recently accessed docs. Just so you're aware, there's no way to the list of files the wiki still needs for H!P that I can find ON the wiki. Amnesiacjournal (talk) 10:32, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

That list is more or less private. Plus, it's temporary. When we only have a few of them left to go, I'll make a list on the wiki proper, but till then, we'll use the document just to get a running start. — {Espyo^T} 11:12, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

Pikmin 3 beta elements

I posted a question regarding a video I found in the Pikmin 3 unused Content talk page, with a pikmin eating candypop bud, do you think you can find out if it's real, P.S. I have the name of the video and the publisher on the talk page.Pikmin Theories (talk) 10:22, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

Yes, I saw. I didn't reply with anything because I never got around to investigating that. It will be added when more information is known. — {Espyo^T} 09:13, 26 September 2016 (EDT)

Names in other languages

Hello, should the Names in other languages be in its own section down at the bottom of the page or should they be a subsection to Naming? I'm wondering because I've seen both. --Raltseye (talk) 10:19, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

Hi. It should be a sub-section inside the naming section. I'm currently in the middle of cleaning up all naming sections, and I haven't gotten to that part yet. Rest assured, I'll take care of it in the following days. Sorry for the confusion! Also, our policies and guidelines sometimes explain how we should try to organize pages, so you can check there if you're ever curious. — {Espyo^T} 10:37, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

Okay thank you for starightening that out for me. --Raltseye (talk) 11:27, 31 October 2016 (EDT)

Piklopedia Deaths

Sorry for the confusion. I actually posted another message on Talk:Piklopedia earlier. For the Hermit Crawmad, the glitch I was referring to was the glitch that kills a small Hermit Crawmad when you walk into it while it is petrified. My thoughts when testing this were: "If the glitch works for leaders and Pikmin, then it should probably work for Pikpik Carrots too, since they do count as Pikmin. There isn't any reason for the glitch not to work in the Piklopedia." — Mariotime315 ^{Let's-a go!} 16:42, 7 November 2016 (EST)

Duplicates?

Are there any differences detween these two that I don't see? Otherwise they're duplicates and one of them should be deleted.
File:Pikmin 3 area selection menu TW.jpg and [[:File:Pikmin3FullMap.png]]. --Raltseye (talk) 18:27, 12 November 2016 (EST)

The first one was created on purpose to show off the Koppaite text that appears if you have the Tropical Wilds. The second one just seems like a generic "full map" screenshot. I guess the second one can be deleted. — {Espyo^T} 18:40, 12 November 2016 (EST)

Okay, good. ~ Raltseye (talk) 18:54, 12 November 2016 (EST) ~

Problem with the notes

Hi Espyo. I found a difference in the notes of the Orange Bulborb between the GC and Wii (Europe only) versions of the game. As such, I made this. I thought it'd work like the notes for the treasures, so I tried putting Notes|olimar=y|olimarwiieu=y|louie=y, but it didn't work. I guess I shouldn't have created this page, but I'm a bit lost as to how I can include those notes in the article. How can I include them while keeping the GC notes? Thanks!

I'll come up with a richer system for the notes later today. Hopefully that'll be enough. You can leave the page as it is, and it'll work when I set this up. — {Espyo^T} 11:44, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Okay. Thanks. Marty (talk) 11:47, 29 December 2016 (EST)

a couple of things

First off I was wondering if any info on that "mimic bud" I talked about awhile ago was uncovered, according to the video description it's internal name is "NamaPongashi" if that helps any, and also out of curiousity, your name wouldn't happen to be based on a certain pink ninja chamelian would it?Pikmin Theories (talk) 21:04, 8 February 2017 (EST)

I haven't taken a look yet. BielR3 did do some research, of course, but his info isn't enough to reach any meaningful conclusions... I'll try to find the time to take a peek soon. Although if its name is "nama", that translates to "raw", or "unprocessed", so I think it makes more sense to assume that this plant is just a regular Candypop Bud before its parameters are set. So it's not an object in and of itself, it's just a "default" state for the Bud. And probably! I got my nickname when I was into Sonic, so that very likely influenced it, but I can't remember for sure. — {Espyo^T} 03:59, 9 February 2017 (EST)

I see, anyway on a nonrelated related Pikmin topic. Have you ever read the fanfiction by Sarsars "My adventure with Olimar"? I just got done reading it, it's like the first Pikmin game, but several things have changed, mainly new monsters, and bosses appearance and attack pattern are different.Pikmin Theories (talk) 09:33, 9 February 2017 (EST)

I haven't. I don't usually read fanfics. — {Espyo^T} 10:01, 9 February 2017 (EST)

I know it's been awhile, but I just had a thought, if this "Mimic bud" is just a default bud, then why would it kill the Pikmin? Unless I'm missing something, wouldn't it just revert them to seeds rather then killing them? Like say, throwing reds into a Crimson Candypop bud, for example..... Pikmin Theories (talk) 13:17, 25 May 2017 (EDT)

Maybe when the Pikmin goes in, the game first kills the original Pikmin that got inserted, and then checks the Candypop's data to see what new Pikmin to spit out. If it has this data, it spits out a brand new Pikmin of the right type. If it doesn't have the data, it just doesn't do anything. — {Espyo^T} 13:56, 25 May 2017 (EDT)

Template:Foreignname

Hello! Just wanted to ask if I could add Polish to this template since Captain Olimar has been called Kapitan Olimar in a facebook post? Also I want to ask if its okay if I rearrange the order if the names in alphabetical order. --Raltseye (talk) 14:56, 5 June 2017 (EDT)

Hey! This is the official Nintendo of Poland page, is it? I think that's fair. Feel free to edit it, but I think changing it to alphabetical order might not be a good idea. Having it ordered from the most "canon", most English language, to the least canon or popular one might make more sense, for reader convenience, for instance. This'll have to be a decision that needs to be discussed later, I'd say. — {Espyo^T} 19:14, 5 June 2017 (EDT)

Fair enough! Where in the list should Polish be then? --Raltseye (talk) 19:19, 5 June 2017 (EDT)

I think at the end would make sense. At least for now. — {Espyo^T} 14:02, 6 June 2017 (EDT)

I put it after Russian but before Arabic. --Raltseye (talk) 14:13, 6 June 2017 (EDT)

Sounds good! — {Espyo^T} 15:07, 6 June 2017 (EDT)

(reset indent)Hello! I was wondering if I can rearrange the languages in the following order:
Dutch
French
German
Italian
Spanish
Polish
Portuguese
Russian
This is an order that has been implemented on Inkipedia and ARMS Institute and follows the order; the first five is be the languages that the games are in and then the rest, all in alphabetical order. --Raltseye (talk) 08:41, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

I talked to the other admins, and we all agree that order will work well. Except, of course, Japanese should be the very first one. Feel free to change it, then! — {Espyo^T} 09:04, 24 June 2017 (EDT)

But of course. It's done now. Thanks! --Raltseye (talk) 13:17, 24 June 2017 (EDT)

Names in other languages

Hello there! Note that I have compiled the names for the treasures found in the demo and other stuff on my userpage. You are very much free to use them. --Raltseye (talk) 20:05, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

All right. I'll be busy doing other things, so if you want to get a head start and write them on the articles, feel free. — {Espyo^T} 03:56, 2 August 2017 (EDT)

Only one of the articles have been made and that name has been added. Just wanted to let you know so that when you or anyone else creates those articles they can just move the names from my userpage. Or I can just do in afterwards. --Raltseye (talk) 04:18, 2 August 2017 (EDT)

Can you delete my old userpage?

Hey, this is IAMAHIPO_ocolor- I'm worried about people searching for that name if anybody found it who I know in real life and finding my old user page which is just the cringiest thinf I've ever read. I tried to reset my password, but used the wrong email so at the very least I need to wait 24 hours. Could you wipe my userpage (and if possible, all instances of iamahipo_ocolor so that google doesn't cache it? I know there are probably a lot of embarassing comments on other's talk pages...) Forgotpassword hipo (talk) 00:09, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

I can wipe your userpage, though it will still show up in the page's history. I can't do anything about your messages, since, for one thing, removing them would disrupt the conversations, and secondly, there's a ton of them. Do you want to take your chances with the password recovery, do you want me to wipe just your page, or do nothing? You could also just own up to it... I mean, we all did cringy stuff as kids. — {Espyo^T} 07:58, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

Obstacles in Pikmin 3

Hello. I've seen that there are numbers of obstacles listed in Pikmin 3 Mission Mode and Bingo Battle, but not in Story Mode. The obstacles are shown in Story Mode, but not the amounts. Should they be added to "Objects" in the Pikmin 3 areas? Signed, If so, I could easily add the number of obstacles. --Ben (talk).

Hey. Yeah, ideally, all articles should have all of the obstacles and their amounts. As for what objects should be in what sections, we have a guideline for this here, though not all articles are following it. — {Espyo^T} 19:40, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

Which articles are not following it? --Ben (talk)

I don't know off the top of my head. Could be any article from the Pikmin areas, Pikmin 2 areas, Pikmin 3 areas, Pikmin 2 caves, Pikmin 2 Challenge Mode levels, Bingo Battle levels, Pikmin 3 Missions, or Pikmin 3 Bingo Battle stages. — {Espyo^T} 08:55, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

Also, what do you use to take pictures on Wii U? I want to take pictures of Pikmin 3 to upload here, but don't have anything to take them with. --Ben (talk).

You can find a tutorial here. Since Miiverse has been discontinued, you'll have to use method #2. — {Espyo^T} 07:45, 17 September 2018 (EDT)

To be deleted

Hi, i'm from DK Wiki/Super Mario Wiki. I plan to continue editing after cross wiki editing even though I'm not a huge expert on Pikmin. Anyway, just wanted to let you know there's files in this category that can be deleted. Results May Vary (talk) 13:34, 23 September 2018 (EDT)

Hey, nice to have you around. Sure thing, I'll take a look and delete them when I'm next available. — {Espyo^T} 14:06, 23 September 2018 (EDT)

I'm just going to warn you--it's a lot of stuff... Results May Vary (talk) 22:43, 23 September 2018 (EDT)

For me, that's more good news than bad :D It means more can get done at once. — {Espyo^T} 04:05, 24 September 2018 (EDT)

Time

Is the time of an edit set to a certain time zone? For me, it's 9:52 PM, October 12, and I made an edit a few minutes ago. But the contribs said that I made the edit on October 13, but it's definitely October 12 for me. It doesn't really matter, I just want to know. B^T

Ah, it most likely is. Go to your user settings (same place where you change the signature), but go in the Appearance tab. There, you'll find the timezone option. Just change it to your preferred timezone, and it should show the edit times right for you. Also, unrelated, but check out the signature comment I made on your talk page. — {Espyo^T} 07:48, 13 October 2018 (EDT)

Amiibo images

I've seen that you uploaded images of amiibo in Hey! Pikmin and I'm currently adding them in the amiibo pages. However, I wanted to ask if it's possible to focus only on the amiibo, and remove the things around them, such as the navigation tabs for the treasures, enemies, or the camera icon, for example. If you don't see what I mean, just look at the pictures I've made in the Oversized Replica and Exhausted Soldier pages. It's not important, but I want to know. Hugik (talk) 15:09, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

I think we should have both. Keep the unchanged screenshots somewhere in the gallery, and when it comes to images for the infoboxes at the top of pages, we should use cropped images. You don't need to worry about taking photos of them because I'm working on getting the treasures and enemies in an emulator. Once I do, I'll be able to take high-quality screenshots of them all. — {Espyo^T} 16:04, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

OK, I'll put the unchanged images in the gallery section of each page. Thank you ! Hugik (talk) 12:18, 18 October 2018 (EDT)

New article

Should there be a new article called Out of Bounds? I have discovered at least 7 places (In Pikmin 3) where it is possible to get out of bounds. If so, the article could have all the possible places to get out of bounds. Also, is there any way that I can make a new page for me, to add things like my signature? B^T 10:52, 28 October 2018 (EDT)

Hm, that sounds like a good idea, actually! Go for it. And if you want to create a page for yourself, for you to test around things in or write personal notes, you can create a user page under your name. What this means is that you can create a page called "User:Ben/tests", replacing "tests" with whatever you want. You can create a new page by using the form on the Main Page, or by entering the URL for the page you want in your internet browser, and then clicking the button to create a page that shows up. — {Espyo^T} 10:57, 28 October 2018 (EDT)

Plot sections

I've noticed that for each area of Hey! Pikmin, there is a plot section. However, I was wondering if those parts are needed in all pages, because a lot of areas don't have any importance to the plot of the game. So, should we remove those sections in the pages where they're useless or should we keep them ? Hugik (talk) 08:09, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

Those sections were added automatically with the blank skeleton for Hey! Pikmin area pages. If an area has plot relevancy, like First Expedition, then sure, we keep it. Otherwise, the section is meant to be deleted. — {Espyo^T} 10:13, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

Ok, nice then ! I'll deal with those sections as soon as possible ! Hugik (talk) 10:32, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

Also, completely unrelated : I made a custom signature, however I don't know how to make it appear. I looked in the FAQ, and I searched for the "Nickname" field, but I didn't find it, so I'm a little lost... Hugik (talk) 10:43, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

It should look like this with the "new signature" field filled in with your code. https://imgur.com/gallery/AnXlzFg And you should get a preview of it were my signature is. --Raltseye prata med mej 10:52, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

Thank you so much ! I'm Hugik, big fan of Pikmin (and Super Smash Bros.). 10:58, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

No, worries! Although, now your talk page link disappeared :P --Raltseye prata med mej 11:04, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

Now it's here ! ;D I'm Hugik, big fan of Pikmin (and Super Smash Bros.). Talk ? 11:09, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

Nice! :D --Raltseye prata med mej 11:23, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

Undiscovered glitch?

Hey, Espyo! I was playing New Play Control! Pikmin and something weird happened. I had my Pikmin get the Gravity Jumper, when I realized that I didn’t build the bridge OR destroy any walls in the entire Forest Navel. I went to find some Bomb Rocks, when the Pikmin somehow got to the ship with the part! When I had last seen them, they were confused not knowing where to go! Was it some sort of glitch? I scanned the area, but couldn’t find any way they could have made it to the Dolphin. So did I miss something, because I’ve only had the game for a few days, or is this an undiscovered glitch? Thanks! V64 (talk) 22:24, 28 December 2018 (EST) V64 (talk) 22:24, 28 December 2018 (EST)

Hey there! Yeah, that does sound odd. Since you have the Wii remake, can you go back to the same day and try to recreate what you did? If you can replicate it, we might be on to something. Otherwise, who knows what could have happened... — {Espyo^T} 07:32, 29 December 2018 (EST)

Okay, I tried it, and I got an interesting result. The Pikmin made it back to the ship without delay OR any walls being destroyed in the process. So, when the Pikmin were confused for the minute I watched them a glitch, or do I just have dumb Pikmin?

Thanks again, V64 (talk) 21:34, 30 December 2018 (EST) V64 (talk) 21:34, 30 December 2018 (EST)

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think that if the game is a bit overloaded, it keeps the Pikmin in a "stuck" state for a couple of seconds while it tries to figure out what path they should take. I have vague memories of seeing this one day, I think. Even though it sounds unlikely, I suppose that's the most reasonable explanation so far. — {Espyo^T} 07:58, 31 December 2018 (EST)
