Welcome! If I'm not wrong, you already created your account here... Wait... Yeah, you came here in 4 september, 2023, at the 12:08. Also, you was seeing this wiki so many years ago? That's amazing! Well, 2009 was like one year after this wiki was made I think. Anyways, if you don't know how to edit (...or you do...?), I recommend you to see the policies and guidelines. But if you have questions about this wiki, ask King Boo, which is the bureocrat (I hope I wrote it right) of this wiki. Finally, sign your messages with ~~~~, or you can make your own sig user subpage like "User:A Friendly Amprat/sig", cause apparently, here user pages apparently act as templates. Happy editing! – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Hi there! Yeah, I made my account last year, though today was the first day I actually started making pages. Indeed, I started my Pikmin Fanon adventure all the way back in 2009. It's incredible how time flies... And I'm so happy to see this wiki still thriving all these years later. It's kinda surreal after all this time to actually be contributing to the wiki instead of just reading every page I can get my paws on. I'm still figuring out how the formatting on this wiki works, and I'll make sure to ask if I have any questions. I'll probably make a signature soon, because that sounds important.

I've created my signature! (I started with the formatting of yours as an example, I hope you don't mind.) – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

That's fine, peoples take the source from other stuffs, which is usually if they are new. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Seeing more of your fanon game idea evolutions from 2023 to 2008. I also had many Pikmin series ideas, Pikmin ideas, that I did on a drawing free APP lots years ago, all those were forgotten forever, but those I remember were a normal Pikmin which was tan (aka skin-tone cause I didn't knew the color's name) which had just no resistances or anything, though its color was made as the Bulbmin idle on their Pikmin 2... Again?, then a smaller Pikmin which was orange (I forgot its actual color but anyways), or even a giant Pikmin which was maroon, those were my most notable ones. Of course, none those I decided to add into my game, cause well, they wouldn't be much interesting I think, and neither the normal Pikmin due to the Walking Golden Pikpik Carrot, due to what I call as the "unoriginality rule", which there can't be 2 Pikmin with a too similar purpose. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Those are some cool ideas! The giant Pikmin sounds like it could be really unique and interesting. Yeah, I had a ton of ideas for Pikmin fangames over the years. The one with the coolest new Pikmin is definitely Leaves of Soil. Of all the ideas I've had for Pikmin games in the past, that one's probably the most likely for me to write about on this wiki, well other than Pikmin: Antarctic Survival which I'm currently working on. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Actually, I plan to reference those old ideas in my new customization setting, but I would add those to story mode at least, for you know, there's like 7 Pikmin in there, and 11 in total, so I would add them for other game modes, cause I got an idea of the giant Pikmin being able to carry Pikmin or even leaders like a platform to reach higher places, which sounds interesting, and the small Pikmin could pass through small tunnels... But there's already the Slime Pikmin, however... So I'll make those are reskins for them. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Customization... sounds cool. Wait, it says you're making it on April Fools' Day? Uh-oh... – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Don't worry, it'll won't be a fake/joke addition, at least it'll be permanent and not a event feature. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Welcome! Wow, you really fleshed out a lot of stuff in a short time, haha. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:22, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Oh yes, I'd also like to ask you about your game's subcategories of creatures, main protagonists, and tyrants, since they don't really match up with the rest of the game content categories, and I would prefer consistency in wiki content. Perhaps you could change main protagonists into characters and merge creatures and tyrants into enemies? If you really insist on letting the categories as they are now, I'll let it go. Also, I wanted to say that Antarctic Survival seems like a neat game, just skimming over its content. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  15:16, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi! So the main protagonists are characters, but they're more significant than most of them. Think like how in Pikmin 4, you have a bunch of different characters, but the Rescue Corps characters are much more significant compared to the other castaways. I could get rid of the main protagonists category if it's a problem, and just have a characters category for all of them. As for tyrants, they're a special kind of enemy; they're bosses, but they're major area bosses, similar to the main bosses of Pikmin 3. Meanwhile, other boss creatures in Antarctic Survival are lesser bosses and you'll typically have multiple different kinds in an area, like the Burrowing Snagret and Shaggy Long Legs in Pikmin 3. Meanwhile, the reason I use the term "creatures" rather than enemies is that while most of them start as hostile enemies, they'll end up being converted to your side and join as characters, with "creatures" being a summary term for this. I totally agree that this game doesn't match up with the rest of the game content categories. That's because Antarctic Survival is a spinoff title, with very different gameplay mechanics compared to main series Pikmin games. If it's a problem to have more unique subcategories, I could merge them into the main types of categories. However, I feel like the traditional "enemies" category doesn't really fit well for the mechanics of a spinoff title like this. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

The way the wiki goes about it, characters are still characters, no matter how minor. The same logic applies to bosses, that being bosses are still bosses, no matter if they're minor or major. I guess what could be done is moving "main protagonists" to just "characters", "tyrants" to "bosses" (and place it in the "creatures" category as a subcategory), and maybe just leave the "creatures" category as-is for the reasons you said. I think that sounds fair. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  15:01, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

That makes sense, and I can definitely put the protagonists into characters category and tyrants into bosses category as the main form of categorization. However, I do notice that some bosses like the Plasm Wraith have additional categories such as one for "final bosses" and some for its elemental categories. Would I be able to make special categories like this for specific creatures in Antarctic Survival, as long as I place them into the main categories as well? This way, I could have a tyrants category but not have it as the main form of classification. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I dunno. I wouldn't want a general "tyrants" category because then it would just be a duplicate "bosses" category. The "final bosses" category has its purpose, and so do the categories in enemies by characteristics and enemies by hazard. I wouldn't want too many more categories in the "enemies by characteristics/hazard" categories than there are already. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:29, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I won't make any new types of categories besides the "creatures" one, that sounds reasonable. I plan to make a new category for "Mist enemies" though because it's a new sort of hazard across many of my games, including Antarctic Survival. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Sounds good. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:26, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I took care of moving the categories around as we discussed, and it just occurred to me that most creatures in your game will be in both the "creatures" and "characters" categories for your game, with the obvious exception of the Iridescent Flint Beetle. Hmm...~ Cheepy-Cheepy  15:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not even sure if I need a "characters" category, for that reason. I'll have to think about it more, I suppose. It's probably going to be a bit before I do any more creature / enemy / character pages anyway. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Sounds good. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:02, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm thinking I might just remove the "Pikmin: Antarctic Survival characters" category, as it seems redundant. I'll only use the "Pikmin: Antarctic Survival creatures" category for now, and think about if any other categories are desired going forward. Can I just go ahead and remove the characters category? – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Sure thing. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:50, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

I have a clarification question regarding capitalization of the term "Awakened" or "Awakening". I noticed on the Porquillion page that all instances of the word "Awakening" were converted to lowercase. In Pikmin: Antarctic Survival, the term "awaken" can have a specific meaning referring to the process of a creature becoming injected with the game's awakening essence and subsequently becoming a usable character once the process is complete. The reason I use capitalization for this word is for clarity, because lowercase "awakening" can also just mean waking up from a slumber. I find it is more clear if "Awakening" is capitalized when referring to this gameplay mechanic. I also capitalize "Awakening Essence" for the same reason, as it is a proper title of sorts for the liquid substance that spreads Awakening. Is there a reason not to capitalize it? I capitalize it whenever I use it in an article, and I'd like to keep the Antarctic Survival articles consistent. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

It's just that I don't believe awakening has to be capitalized, regardless of the context, and neither does awakening essence. If you insist, then again I'll let it go. Though, maybe you could use the term "enlightenment" instead? The reason I say that is because, in another writing project of mine, creatures classified as monsters sometimes undergo a process called enlightenment, where they gain self-awareness and slightly more intelligence and can form communities, much like awakening in your game. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  15:01, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

I'll have to think about this more, I suppose. I certainly find it easier to read with "Awakening" capitalized, but if this is an unpopular opinion I can try to make all instances of the term lowercase. I just want to keep it consistent, and not have it capitalized in some places and lowercase in others. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

You can capitalize "awakening" if you want, I just personally wouldn't prefer it, but I can put up with it. And I completely understand wanting consistency, always striving for it myself. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:29, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Pseudoactinidia perniciosa – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Ah, I was just acknowledging a certain name you gave a Mockiwi in your game, not that I mind~ ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:27, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Re:Order of fangame sections on pages

As Darryl said on my talk page in response to your message, yes, the sections should be in alphabetical order. "A" and "The" are typically ignored, but that's nothing you have to worry about for your game. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:31, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Merge

Okay seeing all the aristocrabs is cool and its easier to see them all but I dont think I read the Brute aristocrab desc very clear so it just sounded like it was only scaled up. Though I guess I can see the similarity. All of the tough aristocrabs all in the same place. Seems fair enough. We can have it with the brute. I'm fine with it. – Preceding unsigned comment added by Ek1047 (talk • contribs)

Yes, it is a stronger, two-clawed aristocrab (better saying, all aristocrabs have two claws but one is smaller, for this one both are the same size). So it fits there. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Re:About using other users' creatures

In the past, it was recommended to ask a user for permission to use something they made purely out of politeness. During "The Reform", such as it was, of the policies and guidelines, this was changed because all but a small few users from the past went permanently offline. Now, all concepts that can be shared between games are there for anyone to use freely. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:06, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

I see. I noticed you changed the 3000-NORB page and removed references to the Overlord from Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. How does this differ from other forms of using content between games? Is it because the Overlord is a plot-important character rather than a creature? Antarctic Survival blurs the lines between characters and creatures, so I'm not sure at what point it is disallowed to use ideas between games like this. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I didn't think I changed the 3000-NORB all that much. And I removed the Overlord's notes because he is a character rather than just a regular old enemy, and I'm not sure how much Soundwave would like a character he made being... well, honestly, inaccurately portrayed in a game that he not only doesn't appear in but was made in kind of a "what if" scenario. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  15:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, it's fair to remove that. I just wanted to make sure I knew what the distinction was there, and I guess him being a character and not just an enemy is probably what it is. I will make sure to ask users for permission regarding their characters that are shown with dialogue and personality and characterization, before I use any characters like this in Antarctic Survival DLC packs. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Yeah, unless you plan on adding fanmade characters, you should be fine. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  15:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Regarding this... is there a chance of the Grimacing Cremblub being used in Antarctic Survival? It'd definitely be a creature from the caves. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:36, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

It will not be used in the base game, but will likely be a tyrant if I create a Pikmin: Wide World DLC pack for Antarctic Survival. I was actually thinking of asking you if I could create one for Wide World, but I might not do it anytime soon because I have other content packs I plan on making first. I think a Wide World content pack could be cool because Wide World is one of my favorite fangames on Pikmin Fanon. So, if you're okay with it, I'll probably make a Wide World DLC eventually. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Oh, well, of course it would have to be DLC content. And I would love if you made a PWW DLC pack! And I'm glad you think so highly of my proudest Pikmin creation. Just wait until its sequel, which also features DLC content packs, comes out, heheh. On that note, I guess I should pump out some enemy article sections after I refine the content I already published. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:07, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I'll plan to make a Wide World DLC then! I'll add it to my DLC page as a planned pack but I probably won't be working on it for quite a while, as I'd rather focus on base game content first. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Wonderful! I can't wait to see what all you'll use. And that's fine, I have things to work on in my game as well, haha. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:30, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Question

How does the Pikmin work in your game? Are them like mini characters, or maybe helpers, that are resistant to certain hazards (let me guess, here Bulbmin will be resistant to every hazard? At least apparently, cause everyone still makes Bulbmin like that even after Glow Pikmin that I'm not even surprised anymore)? – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Pikmin are in the process of being added into the game and aren't fully decided yet, but the plan is that Pikmin will be able to be Awakened and become settlement residents like other creatures. As characters, Pikmin are planned to be a generally hiveminded species, and individual Pikmin won't have names or their own personalities. However, there will be some individual Pikmin who don't fit this trend, having their own names and personalities. These Pikmin will be considered "defective" by other Pikmin due to their abnormal behavior. Of course -- you don't have to follow any of this when designing a Pikmin character, and you can make a Pikmin character however you want, like you would make any other creature into a character. This is what I plan on the lore for Pikmin being, though. I will be writing some more information about this in the near future when I begin to detail how Pikmin work in Antarctic Survival. And yeah, Pikmin will be immune to the hazards they normally are, and have the same properties and abilities that are expected of their colors. Bulbmin are undecided, and I'll probably make them resist some hazards, but not every one. Which hazards specifically they resist have not been fully fleshed out yet. Glow Pikmin are planned to still resist every hazard (except gloom), but these Pikmin are alien in nature and actually cannot be recruited to the Diamond Settlement due to their bizarre nature. They do have a very important role they will play in the story, but this has not been revealed yet. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Re:Category question

You're fine categorizing them that way. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Amprats- Rats or dogs?

Hehe, I've heard a debate going on across the fandom about whether Amprats are rats or dogs, it's kind of a funny question. I originally thought they were dogs, until I saw that they were in the numbouse family, loll- Though this debate has mostly died down... What do you think of amprats? (Personally, I say they're really cute) CJ-Does-Pikmin (talk) 16:03, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Those dogs rats are cute, at least until they get electric, but when I first saw them I thought this... Thing, was strange-looking, but also has the colors of a dog in my logic, so I thought they were dogs, but well, when there had no piklopedia, I had no idea what they were until Pikmin 3 Deluxe, where they readded the Piklopedia. At first I thought they were harmless until they shake their fur and suddenly reveal their mouth. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

I found the electricity to be cute. And cool! I mean, it makes sense. Static electricity is created when two things harshly rub together and part chemicals, causing a short burst of electricity. In fact, for them to make enough electricity to be seen in yellow is near impossible, but it's probably just the whole comical setting of Pikmin rather than actually realistic, though it makes sense in gameplay to see it, that way you don't lose too many Pikmin to it without knowing. I'm not sure if it's setting, gameplay, or both now- CJ-Does-Pikmin (talk) 16:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Amprats have always been based on rodents. They're not based on dogs at all. It's amusing that I'm not the only one who made this mistake, but in retrospect they don't really look like dogs other than some front views I suppose. Their paws, tails, and especially faces under the fur are very rodent-ish. Even in Pikmin 3 before Deluxe, they were called "Amprats" not "Ampdogs". This didn't stop me from calling them "Dograts" for years but I don't do that anymore because it was silly. I love Amprats, and they're definitely rats, hence the name. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Yeah I getchu CJ-Does-Pikmin (talk) 21:00, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

For some reason, I had suddenly the idea to do a numbouse based on sewer rats seeing AFA saying that they were rats... – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Yo, that's epic! I had an idea of a "Sewer Amprat" for Pikmin Quest back in 2015 but it never got that developed, so seeing one fleshed out is really cool to see. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Oh, yeah. I usually never did a numbouse original to my game, due to me not wanting to make elemental variants of enemies meant to do something like the other but the opposite or another elemental reskin. But until I got a idea to make a very aggresive amprat. (I'm busy making stuffs now its april fools, before everyone else gets active) – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

April fools

Good to see peoples joined too! I planned to be the first to do a april fools for the wiki, and for a game, so I had many stuffs planned, so we have... The Amazing New Update!!. But actually I saw many persons also did. Like, I got doing pages for all the time ago as long as I saw I'm in 1st april, so I would surprise peoples when they came back. I had plans already, but I told nobody so not to spoil it. Also, about your Red Boloroborp and the edit on Red Bulborb, I'll undo the Red Bulborb one, and convert your joke page into a user subpage when 1st april passes, based they are kinda spam and vandalism, but based they were for april fools, I'll keep them. Also, did you do its artwork? You do pixel art now? – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

So, actually, the pixel art was made by my sister. She's the one who came up with "Boloroborp". I do draw some pixel art stuff, but this one wasn't me. And yeah, I want to remove this stuff once April Fools' is over, because it doesn't really fit the A Friendly Amprat brand, and it's a bit all over the place. I actually wanted to do something higher effort, but didn't have the time this year... Maybe next year. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

It's one of the highest-quality joke articles on the site. Great work! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:55, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Which one? AFA's one I guess you are talking about?

Well yes, but yours is great too, hence why it was featured in the news. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:08, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Happy April Fool's Day! This year, our prank is saying that it's still 2023 in the news. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Also, I like The Amazing New Update a lot more than my Boloroborp. It clearly had a ton of thought put into it and it shows. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Yes, I didn't made it only to be silly, I made it to have a story and be larger than others. Also, I have a better idea, maybe put on the news a prank of a fake thing, I have no other idea after this part. Or maybe the main page could be changed, but I presume you cannot do a entire mediawiki css in one day for april fools.– Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Yeah, I'm much more focused on moderating the wiki than fooling around, anyway. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:24, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm making a whole bunch of fanon games that it's kind of overwhelming but I'm absolutely going to keep doing it, even though it's kind of unhealthy, it's fun and I'm going to keep doing it and and and and and and- ~ CJ-Does-Pikmin (talk) 00:34, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Haha, I have a bajillion Pikmin fanon games. Though I'm avoiding making articles on any of them on this wiki, I want to focus on my main project and not split my attention. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

CJ simply appeared out of nowhere – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Okay, based you may be going to remove it, I'll immortilizate and reference this masterpiece as a skin for customization setting also added in April Fools' Day but not a joke but instead a very cool and big feature. And the Piglin (but as how I see), and a mentions of a "Oloromor", which it a nod to Red Boloroborp's name, which is... That way I guess. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Yeah, I'd like to delete Boloroborp, it was a silly April Fools' prank but it's a bit spammy for my liking to keep it anywhere after April 1. Plus, there's some inappropriate jokes in it (at least the original version) which aren't really right for this wiki. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I think it should stay. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Eeh, I'd really rather it doesn't, for the reasons I mentioned earlier. It isn't really something which fits with my normal "Amprat brand", which was sort of the joke but since April Fools' is over now... At the very least I'd rather it be removed from the news, because I don't really want it being one of the first things people see of mine on this wiki, since it's nothing like the kind of content I want to make due to the inappropriate and low quality nature. The Amazing New Update deserves to be in the news because it's a genuinely awesome idea and makes a great April Fools update for a hypothetical Pikmin fan game. Red Boloroborp on the other hand is something I threw together in like an hour as a brief April Fools joke, parodying a lot of stuff relating to this wiki. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

If I felt the same way about things I made, I would have deleted Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs long ago. I honestly think it's worth keeping. It's a good joke, one that had much effort put into it, and it'll get a good laugh out of the people who have read the Red Bulborb's page in its entirety. One silly page won't ruin what people think of your serious content. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I actually really liked Attack of the Breadbugs. Despite its silly premise, it never really struck me as a joke game. And it's a lot higher quality than a single article that I threw together in about an hour using text replacement. The Boloroborp page doesn't really work without the crude humor, which obviously isn't allowed on this wiki, so the new version of the page doesn't follow my original vision anyway. We can keep it if you want, I just don't think it's really that good, and I'd rather not it be the first thing everyone sees of my content because of the main page. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

To elaborate a bit further, something I consider is that I started reading Pikmin Fanon articles when I was eight years old. At that age, there are a lot of things that would have upset or offended me, mainly regarding more inappropriate or adult jokes, and especially swear words. I'm not like that anymore, but I want to be thoughtful of other people who might be in the situation I was then, and I don't want to scare them off from the wiki with my inappropriate page. I've cleaned it up now and removed the swear words and innuendo, but they're still there in the page's history. Honestly, the page isn't nearly as funny without them, which is another reason I didn't plan to keep the page around. Part of what made my joke page funny to me was how it didn't fit in Pikmin Fanon at all for a variety of reasons, as parts of it were a parody of low quality and inappropriate edits. Thus keeping it on Pikmin Fanon means either keeping this off-beat page, or changing it to be more in line with the rest of the wiki, which sort of defeats the purpose of the joke. I've updated it now to make it something that wouldn't have upset me at eight years old, but at this point the page doesn't follow my original vision. Also, I actually did archive to my own computer the original version of the page, which I saved as a html file and plan on keeping in case I want to look back at it and laugh at the dumb inappropriate humor later. I just don't think this page belongs in any context other than on April Fools' Day. Still, if you all really want to keep it and still find the new "sanitized" version funny, I guess that's fine, I just wasn't planning on that. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I see. Well, I'd still like it to be kept, even if it is against your wishes. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

I mean, the Red Boloroborp holding me at gunpoint and forcing me to keep it on the wiki even after April Fools is pretty in-character for the Red Boloroborp. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I'm here

Hey A Friendly Amprat! I'm here. Talk to me other things. ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Yoooo Leo! What's up dude! I see you found my talk page! What do you want to talk about while we're here? Have you ever come up with a new Amprat enemy for Pikmin? – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Yes! Create a new page, little dude! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

So, What's his name of this enemy? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Oh, I don't have a new Amprat enemy, I was asking if you had ever come up with one. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Hmmm.... Oh! I know! Wanna make a enemy from a new family type? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Oh an enemy in a new family? Yeah we could do that... I have some ideas for creatures in reptile-inspired families because there's basically none of those in the Pikmin series right now. Like a lizard enemy or turtle enemy, something like that. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

So, what's his family's name? Think. ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

How about, "Tumbling Shellsnapper"! It's like a turtle but with much longer legs, and it's known to throw itself down slopes and tumble down to crush whatever is on the slope with its shell! It will eat Pikmin that it can't crush, like Rock Pikmin. It also eats Pikmin if there's no slope to slide down in its shell. And because of the shell, only its head and legs can be attacked by Pikmin. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

What happens when you defeat it? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

When you defeat it, it roars and withdraws into its shell, which is the carcass that the Pikmin can carry. If you wait too long to carry the shell back to the Onion, it revives and comes back out of its shell, like how Gatling Groinks revive in Pikmin 2. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

What games appears this enemy? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Oh, I don't have a game for it yet! You could use it for one of your games if you want. I might also put it in my current game as a DLC creature. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Now let's start making this enemy! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

You mean, like a page for it on the wiki? – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Yes! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Oh! I forgot something. What areas appears this enemy? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I don't have areas for it yet. You could come up with some for it if you'd like. I've created a page for it: Tumbling Shellsnapper. You can edit it if you want to. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Please, add the image and the scientific name! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I'm not really good at drawing, so I might ask my sister to make an image for it. I haven't thought of the scientific name yet, but I'll add it when I do. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

So, add the image on the page! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I do not have an image yet. Hopefully I will soon. Oh, by the way! Check out some messages that the other users want you to see, if you haven't yet. It would be nice to respond to them, so they know you got the message. --> User talk:Leoasiago#Bureaucrat <--> User talk:Leoasiago#Staff again <--> User talk:Leoasiago#Show preview <-- – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I'm back (Part 2)

I'm here back, A Friendly Amprat! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Yo. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

What's up today? Is it your birthday? Or... we can make another enemy on the wiki? – Preceding unsigned comment added by Leoasiago (talk • contribs)

Why are you not talking? – Preceding unsigned comment added by Leoasiago (talk • contribs)

Oh, I didn't want to respond until I knew you were done editing my talk page. I don't really have much to say either, I'm currently a bit busy in real life. It's not my birthday (that was a few months ago) and yeah, I'd be down to make a new enemy, but you gotta start it. What family should it be in? – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Hmmm.... I don't know. Can you help me? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Oh! I know! We can make a new family like the Grub-dogs that we can make the Grub-rats!

The informations are these: Grub-rats are some species like Grub-dogs that they are like rats. They are so fast and very common to see in the games, and they are so weak. ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

A Friendly Amprat, where are you? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Ooh, grub-rats. I like that. We already have grub-cats, grub-hogs, and the like, it would be cool to have another similar family. (Probably grub-cats are the natural predator of grub-rats) Also, sorry that I'm not on much, I don't really have the free time to be on the wiki all the time unfortunately. So if it takes me a long time to get back to you, thats why. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

What enemies you think to add on this family? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I would honestly stray from making more grub-dog family variations. Could just put it in the same family as the amprats. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:19, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, they'd be Numbice, but they're "grub-dog mimics" similar to how some Breadbugs are. I imagine they'd have little whiskers and mouse ears, and long tails, but other than that they have a grub-dog body type. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

So, What's the first enemy on the Grub-rats family? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

How about "Red Mini Bulbouse". A Numbouse mimic of the Red Bulborb that is similar to a Dwarf Red Bulborb but a bit smaller and much faster. They're sensitive to loud noises because of their big ears, so if one of them is running toward you you can drive it away just scaring it off by whistling at it. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Cool name! Can you make the image and their informations? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I don't have time to do so right now, I gotta get back to work so I won't be on Pikmin Fanon for a while. But, I will make a page for the Red Mini Bulbouse later today, when I'm not busy. For now, Amprat out. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Bye bye A Friendly Amprat! Now i'm going home! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Hey A Friendly Amprat! I'm back! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Uhmmm... Who's here?? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Uh-oh, Everywone is gone! Where are you! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Like I said, I'm busy right now, so I'm not able to be online much. Sorry! – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Umm, A Friendly Amprat, can i go now to bed when i see you to make the "Red Mini Bulbouse"? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

You can go to bed if you want. I'll make the page for the Red Mini Bulbouse when I have free time. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Uhhh, Ok A Friendly Amprat, I don't wanna go to bed. I see you when you're finished. So, bye! I'm seeing you later when you're finished! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Are you finished? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Haha, no, sorry, I don't get off work for another five hours. I'm on a short break right now, and I'll try to get the Red Mini Bulbouse started, but I don't know if I'll get far. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I can help you! You can make it like this.

`{{infobox info`

`|name=Bulborb`

`|image=P4 Red Bulborb.png`

`|size=80px`

`|caption=Appearance in Pikmin 4.`

`|icon=P4 Red Bulborb icon.png`

`|name=Oculus kageyamii russus`

`|family=Grub-dog`

`}}`

You can see also it on the edit source menu! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Now, A Friendly Amprat, see on the edit source menu the enemy's info and then copy it! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Thanks! I've made the page for the Red Bulbouse! Take a look! You can add some more if you want. Now I'm gonna get back to work for the rest of today. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Pikmin III

I'm curious to know what your Pikmin III would be about, and yeah, it was a good time you didn't edit your userpage, but it you want to use templates for user pages, you can always use them whenever you want. Well, it is similar to Pikmin 2... Again?, where it was also a sequel to a game of like 18 years ago if I'm not wrong, but improved in that case. But yours is based on older games and on your old concept, mine just appeared there for fix all things peoples didn't like from the Pikmin series (at a critical point on Pikmin 4, stuffs such as less difficult, Puffstool but worse, White Pikmin unnessecary nerfed while Purple Pikmin got buffed too much, and stuffs) or and to remove things considered OP or UP (Underpowered), or just unoriginal, and add new stuffs. So your Pikmin III sounds that it based on more stuffs, in first place, everything you made were larger than mine, and each Pikmin: Antarctic Survival Awakened creature had a name with a interesting origin (such as Groovy Long Legs), which I never did ones as much as yours usually. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Pikmin III is going to be smaller-scale than Antarctic Survival, but I still plan on making it a full-length Pikmin game idea. I don't plan to work on it nearly as much as Antarctic Survival since that's my main project, but I thought it would be fun to work on something new and more "traditional Pikmin gameplay" to spice things up, because I was getting tired of just writing creature descriptions. As for my userpage, yeah, I'll update it periodically over time but I don't plan on making it super fancy like some people have it on this wiki, just making it a repository of my Pikmin game concepts. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Usually, I avoid to make two games. Like, if one is too much, imagine two. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Heh. Hopefully it isn't too much for me. It helps that their gameplay is very different and they're very different types of games in general. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I'm back (Part 3)

Hey A Friendly Amprat! I'm here back! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Where are everywone to make another enemy? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I don't think anyone is online right now. I'm online, but I don't have time to make an enemy right now, sorry. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Hello! I'm here. A Friendly Amprat. Are you not busy? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I'm here! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I'm back (Part 4)

Hey A Friendly Amprat! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Yo, do you want to make another enemy? I'm thinking we should do a Dweevil this time! Or maybe a Heavil, like the Skutterchuck. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Ok! So, what is it? A boss or an enemy? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I'm here! A Friendly Amprat, i said you that what's the new Dweevil type's name. So what's his name? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I'm back (Part 5)

Hey A Friendly Amprat! I'm here back again! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I'm here back! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Hello A Friendly Amprat! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Hello! I can't make an enemy right now, sorry. Maybe you can make one this time? I have to go to work. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I'm back (Part 6)

Hey A Friendly Amprat! I'm here back again! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

If this keep going every day, this talk page will soon be flooded with more sections like those than anything else. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Okay, this is getting out of hand, it's fine, I'll just archive old talk page sections like a lot of the other users on this wiki do. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Yeah, like, this talk page has monstrous 41,491 bytes, for you know, this is larger than the total amount of bytes from Pikmin: Antarctic Survival. Most were from the welcome, april fools, and the first two I'm back sections. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

I have confusion.

I am not sure where else to post this, so I just decided to put it on my user talk page. For some insane reason... People online are SELLING Pikmin Fanon. How is this happening!? – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

• Ebay link??

• Better book...

• AMAZON?????

I have no idea, and how many time were those around, all say they are from Pikcanon-NOT, so they must be really old, but the question is; were they really made by Pikmin Fanon users? Well, it is very strange anyways. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

What the– These must be REALLY old. I'm not sure anyone even remembers about them anymore. Might be for the best... ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I will be the maniac like the fake moss plush and buy it. >:D ~I’m PikminKart SuperCircuit, and I know the Pikmin Comic schedule! 19:55, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey A Friendly Amprat! I'm here back again! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

Hi! I saw the Scratch thing before you removed it. That's really cool! You're learning to use Scratch way younger than I did... I didn't start using it until I was like 15 I think. It's a pretty cool site. Want to be Scratch buddies? – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

I know about Scratch, but I never used it really, but sounds simple to make games and stuffs. And the many things people say, like "It looks like a Scratch project" or something. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Scratch is a great way to learn programming concepts. I used it for years and then took the knowledge I learned to professional programming languages like Python and C. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Monster Sewerat pack

I made one for Monster Sewerat, Mad. It was the only pack I finished. But I may do Gerald's pack too later, and maybe Mystical World as the last (based it'll be the longest of all the previous). You can see it here. Mad is basically a amprat like Billy, but more like a sewer rat, and those aggresive ones. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Very nice! It's really cool to me that my game is getting fan content made for it. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Re:Cleanup regarding objectivity policy

Yeah, those pages don't follow the modern guidelines because they haven't been updated. A lot of pages are like that yet. And you bring up some good points in your thoughts on the current policies, and honestly some of them I agree with. One such one is that modern Pikmin Fanon feels impersonal or robotic at times, which it does, but that's a result of what the more encyclopedic writing style calls for. I guess I just prefer that style of writing over something more casual, or with the innocent charm of a kid. I also appreciate that you realize why our policies are so strict; back before I reformed them, it was a free-for-all. And games can definitely have walkthrough/guide-style subpages, there's nothing against it. And I... guess I can accept the use of the word "you" in them, since they are guides. I like to think that Pikmin Fanon already has a "what-if" element to its writing, but with me as chief of editing, it's ultimately up to me to allow or deny something new that comes up. I'm admittedly pretty stubborn, so it takes some effort to make me bend, but if someone brings up a problem and we discuss it I usually accept it. And I don't mind the Amprants, just look at how I go on and on in my PWW-related content, haha. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I write in the encyclopedic manner as well, just look at my pages. As a kid I would write "you" in my stuff, but I generally don't really have that style in my writing anymore. I'd use it if I made a fake walkthrough for a game, but generally it's personal preference for me. Though I do sometimes feel like my writing comes off as stilted and awkward with the lengths I go to to avoid "you" and similar words. The encyclopedic writing style has benefits, I do like it in a lot of ways, but at the same time it doesn't feel as "Pikmin Fanon-y" as the more casual writing style of the early days, this is a creative fan content site and not an encyclopedia. And yeah I was there for the pre-reform era in the mid-late 2010s, it was a mess. Don't feel like you have to change anything, like I said I just wanted to express some thoughts I'd formed regarding this. I still love modern Pikmin Fanon, I've been around 15 years and I'm hoping for another 15 more. If there are ever discussions regarding policy updates, I'd give my thoughts there as well. For now, I'm gonna keep following things as they're set up now. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Uh,,,, Cheepy-Cheepy? A Friendly Amprat? What? ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I have no idea, all I know is that some sort of roleplay started. Which included King Boo and PKCS. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Oh no! A Red Pikmin appeared! Let's defeat him, A Friendly Zapibara! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

I use Take Down! Super effective! ~ Leonardo ^{Contributions | Fanon game}

(Take Down is a normal-type move and therefore is not super-effective against any type.) ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

What's the plans with the caves in Hinsburg's game? I hope you plan on expanding them. If not, they should probably be merged into the areas' main pages. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:39, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
