Pikmin III Adventure / Polls and Discussion

Polls

Current polls

Pikmin III banner

Should I make a custom banner for Pikmin III? Currently, it's using the default generic green banner, because Pikmin III was intended to be a minor side project. It's become something bigger than originally planned, so I might make a custom banner for it to make it more unique, but I do wonder if a default banner might fit what I'm going for better.

Doesn't matter. Would be better to decide sooner than later though. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 14:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Pikmin III navbox

Should I make a navbox for Pikmin III? Similar to above question. I was not initially planning on making one, because this is a side project. However, I might make one since this project has come out a bit bigger than planned.

No navbox

Yes navbox

Yes. Also, if you want to make the banner and infobox to match the navbox's. You can do custom ones. – Blower Pot ^{Talk | Contributions | Fanon game}

Comments

Probably not gonna do a custom infobox, because while they DO look really cool, I don't think I'm supposed to unless there's significant changes and reasons not to use the normal ones. This is just a standard Pikmin game in its mechanics and statistics info, so I don't think I would need a custom infobox. Might do a navbox, if that's the consensus. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Archived polls

How should I reveal Pikmin III content?

Decision: I will be revealing new content as it is revealed in the Adventure updates. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Should I reveal content through the Pikmin III Adventure updates, and give the experience of what playing through the game and experiencing new features would look like, or should I just start adding new Pikmin III pages to the wiki before I reach them in the gameplay adventure?

I have 100+ pages made for Pikmin III content thus far, and I could start uploading it all now, but the initial plan was to document new content as it was revealed through playthrough updates of Pikmin III Adventure.

Playthrough updates

Feels more fun this way. Instead of just dropping a massive encyclopedia of info that you have to sift through likely out of order. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

How should I fill in the content pages?

Decision: I will be making the pages myself. It was a silly idea anyway, though it could have been cool. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Should I start filling in content pages (areas, caves, enemies, etc.) with information as it is revealed, or should I leave that up as a challenge to the users of this wiki? I was planning on making content pages myself, and as said earlier I have over a hundred of them in the works, but it could be a more authentic experience if the wiki users document information as it is revealed in the "Adventure". This second option is closer to how actual Pikmin games are documented. Pikipedia isn't maintained by the developers of the Pikmin series, it's maintained by the players of the games.

Comments

Update posts

Decision: I will use this page for polls and discussion, and the main page (which is now created) for update posts. Makes things cleaner. Also makes things less like a classic forum thread, which is a bit sad. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

Should update posts be posted to this page (the talk page) or should I put them on User:A Friendly Amprat/Pikmin III Adventure, which doesn't currently exist? My initial plan was to have all Pikmin III Adventure updates, polls, and discussion surrounding the fanon game all on this current page. This makes it more in line with a classic game forum board, which is of course the style that Pikmin III Adventure is meant to call back to. However, it might be easier to read through content if content updates are placed on a new page, User:A Friendly Amprat/Pikmin III Adventure, which this one links to, instead of it being broken up by polls and game discussion. I honestly don't know which option to go with for this one. Hence, the poll.

Update posts on this page

Update posts on separate page

Here, although you're pretty much already posting updates here. You should probably make this page the main page and make the updates page the talk page then. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 14:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm gonna change the structure up probably. The way things are currently set up probably will be changed, though it is a bit sad in my opinion to lose that nostalgic forum board feeling. I'm really undecided on whether to change things or not. I also am contemplating whether there should be a third page as well, for voting. I could have one page for voting, one for discussion, and one for story updates. Or I could combine two of these into one page, and have the other as a separate page. Or they could all be one page, like right now. I'm still not sure what to go with. –

Comments

More demo trailer scripts

Decision: I went ahead and made the sixth and final planned trailer. – A Friendly Amprat ^{(Talk | Contribs | Projects)}

You may have noticed above that I planned on making six trailer scripts for Pikmin III, based on the title screen demos from Pikmin 2. These are posted to this page, and I only got around to actually making five of them. Should I make more of these? Or should I stop revealing new content this way? I don't want to give too much away before we get into Pikmin III Adventure, but I also do want to give an idea of what this fanon game is actually like. If I end up making any more trailers, I only have one more planned, which will be on the game's collectibles. (Sprays, treasures, etc.) However, if you have any more ideas for trailers I could do, you can leave them in the comments for this poll.

Make more demo trailer scripts

Do not make any more

5 is sufficient, but one more would be welcome. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy 14:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Pikmin III Adventure stuff will start going up soon! Feel free to join the thread now and comment something if you'd like!

Fake gameplay trailers for Pikmin III are up! You can view the scripts for them here! Three scripts have been made so far, and I have three more I will be releasing today!

Two more of the three other planned scripts have been added! They ended up WAY bigger than expected, so I don't think I'm gonna be getting to the last one today. Check out the other two! They feature the main new mechanics to Pikmin III!

Alright, so due to the seeming lack of responses and a change of priorities, I'm probably gonna make this thing smaller-scale than initially planned. I'll still be making it, and going over an idea of how a playthrough could look like, but I won't be going into as much detail. This was meant to be a side project, after all.
Relating to this, I also have several project-related polls here! Check them out and leave your votes and comments!

-This game is an homage to the 2008-2010 era of ''Pikmin Fanon'' games, and as such it is styled after the kind of fanon games made in about 2009! It features returning concepts from ''Pikmin 1'' and ''Pikmin 2'', as well as many new ideas both original to ''Pikmin III'' and taken from other fanon games, as was typical for games of the time! Much of its content is also taken from my childhood ''Pikmin 3'' ideas from 2008-2012!

-{{color|<u>What about ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''??</u>|#061}} Well, those games weren't out in the early days of ''Pikmin Fanon'', so I won't be taking much inspiration from them, in favor of making a ''Pikmin 2'' direct sequel! Still, I do actually plan on including some enemies and features from ''Pikmin 3'' and ''4'', as well as ''Hey! Pikmin''! To make this fit the vibe of ''Pikmin III'', I'll be considering any ''Pikmin'' game after ''2'' to be (very high budget) fanon games, for the purpose of ''Pikmin III''! I'll use enemies and ideas from them, like I might with other ''Pikmin Fanon'' games, but I do not consider the events in them canon, as if they were just another ''Pikmin Fanon'' user's fanon game timeline.

-But, '''that{{'s}} not all!''' After all, ''Pikmin III'' is often very open-ended, with a variety of areas to explore and tasks to work toward! Since there's often multiple possible paths to follow at any given time, this ''Pikmin III'' adventure will have many interactive portions!
