Thank you Some of you, probably more than I know, have noticed I've been gone during the weekends. That is because I've been having to tend to other things in my life and so I've had less time to focus on the wiki. That said, I do keep a watchful eye on Pikmin Fanon no matter where I may be. I'd like to give a heartfelt "thank you" to everyone who has looked to keep the wiki in top shape in my absence, by welcoming users, correcting issues with their edits, and so on. Really–thank you! ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:08, 5 December 2023 (UTC) Regarding the Enemy Removal Boxes I don’t exactly have time to make a template for the Enemy Removal Box, I already have way too much going, I’m Dealing with School, I’m Stressed, I just wanna do things the easy way. The Thing I’m most bitter about is that even with the note saying that it took hours to make the box, yall still removed the box. Now I’m not trying to be greedy or rude but please keep the boxes next time. ~ Salem P.S. I already posted this to Darryl Omg about the situation, and another thing at 1:10 where I live i’m going to re-add the boxes so please don’t get mad at me for this ~ Salem A Little Existential Question Hey, I'm loving my work on this wiki quite a lot. My preformance has boosted exponentially since Pikmin 4 released and this year has been one of my most prosperous. However, there has been one looming dread relating to this wiki, more specifically you. You have became such a vital component, both in terms of my personal endeavors and general wiki stuff too. Most notably is that you fix stuff you see as flawed, such as inconsistent enemy icons. Basically, in the advent of you retiring, who could fufill these needs relating to minor tweaks and stuff? Should I just try to consult another staff member? I ask this because questions like these tend to be the biggest momentum killers for me, and I wish to see myself realising the trilogy I have planned. Aside from that, happy Thanksgiving, of course! --CarrotStilts1 (talk) 23:44, 22 November 2023 (UTC) I see. That does make me feel quite a bit better about all this. Thank you so very much. --CarrotStilts1 (talk) 15:43, 23 November 2023 (UTC) Question Can the thing for the caves be made as a template, well, it sound simple: Theme: Music: Treasures: Enemies: Vegetation: Obstacles: Others: In that this could be made as a template then i think, becasue well, each of those stuffs could have... Well let me put a example. *'''Theme''': {{{theme|}}} *'''Music''': {{{music|}}} *'''Treasures''': {{{treasures|}}} *'''Enemies''': {{{enemies|}}} *'''Vegetation''': {{{vegetation|}}} *'''Obstacles''': {{{obstacles|}}} *'''Others''': {{{others|}}} In that case there are other stuffs from those, such as the ship parts and fruits replacing the treasure one and stuffs, so maybe those could be made as optional parameters, as well, those parameters that aren't the theme and music could be put as with the **. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game So my friend With all those new enemies and families in Pikmin 4 how many new ideas can be made with them because it would be cool to see how new fanmade members would be like with creatures like the Porquillion? – I'm Captenluigi2, and you can now play as Mario! Mamuta Larva I want to add a normal Mamuta Larva as an enemy in Pikmin: Interstellar Cryptid for the Salt Lick Reserve cave, but currently the page name is designated to a redirect to the "wanted enemy article" page for project clean up. I don't want to stick my nose into important, if mildly out of date, wiki projects. How do I go about this? --CarrotStilts1 (talk) 19:43, 20 December 2023 (UTC) Early Year Blues Hey Cheepy! I hate to say it, but my production on this wiki has been crawling ever since I finished the Autumnal Undergrowth page. It's cool that I've been keeping my interest in the series high enough to regularly contribute to this wiki ever since the fourth game released, but it might be waning now. This happened last year around the same time as well, so I'm sure I'll grow back into the spidit soon enough. I still keep my tabs on this wiki open and am still developing things behind the scenes with treasure images and stuff. Moreso, I've been working on my plans for Familial Bonds as well. There's this one thing I might need your help on sorting out with, but I'll get to it when I get to it. Let's hope I don't completely burn out! --CarrotStilts1 (talk) 03:18, 18 January 2024 (UTC) Question Hello. So, I added sparklium to Pikmin 2... Again?, I thought on making it a currency, but based sparklium was for much stuffs on Story Mode (but it is still under construction, I may change and/or improve it later, but I don't think I'll remove it, probably), I thought on making a blue sparklium, which would be like raw material maybe? To get this purpose instead. Though, I think this would make it much like, those games with those stuffs to by skins and etc, so I'm not sure if it would be great to add. What do you think? This may be the first question about my fanon "spin-off" game Pikmin 2... Again?. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game I found out Cool! I found out how to send messages! I Just wanted to know if the pages for cactus and phantom pikmin can return. Meaning:basically they are still on the spiky/ghost pikmin category but there's also the Page with only the pikmin. Thanks for reading IF you are Reading! --Luke the tree (talk) Question Is there a way to stop someone ruining a Page? --Luke the tree (talk) i'm not dead!!! yippee! yeah i'm not dead ! check out my userpage!!1!!11!-thecoolereshu237 (btw this was rushed cause by the time i am writing this i'm supposed to come off) Carapace pikmin Can i use the carapace pikmin from the pikmin 3 concept art for my game? Just asking :3 --Luke the tree (talk) Wait what I was adding some enemies to the piklopedia and "everything" broke. --Luke the tree (talk) Re:Arf arf Thanks for the compliment! I chose the name because Roacher sounded kinda like Bowser, and I wanted to go off the logic of Oatchi being named after Yoshi. Even though Bowser isn't an ally like Yoshi, I initially imagined Roacher as looking like a Doberman and having a spiked collar, henceforth I wanted a fittingly scruffy-sounding name. And I'm excited to see how space dogs get implimented in Wide World 2, alongside their feline counterparts as well! --CarrotStilts1 (talk) 19:52, 6 February 2024 (UTC) Break Im taking a two week break. I don't have time to write now. Luke the tree (talk) pik 2 so...i am going to take a break to think about new enemies designs. Almost everything is ready for pik, so im working on pik 2 stuff. im not saying that everything about pik is done since i didn't even created some captains and a lot of enemies are missing in the piklopedia. sooo... i will work on this stuff alongside pik 2. see ya! Luke the tree (talk) i will work on both fanon games but i will mainly work on pik. i already have some pikmin and enemies ideas in mind for pik 2. also, i am italian. can you tell me wich word is correct?:mustached,moustached,moustachioed. Luke the tree (talk) burrowing snuffin can i use the burrowing snuffin for pik? i didn't created it so i would like to know if i can. oh wait maybe i should ask PurpleHeadache if i can use it. Luke the tree (talk) Thriving utopia I've been thinking that I should move the page to "thriving utopia" instead of Crumbling Kingdom. The page is a mess, I've mostly just been trying to throw all of my ideas onto it and then I'd sort them into relevant sections from there. I'm glad you liked the maps I made, too. I hope your day is going well! I'm doing a lot on and off the wiki, but I really do love it here! There are so many ideas, so many cool things here! Thanks for your help, g'bye!! -- CJ (talk) Editing <3 I love this place, and I want it to stay perfect. It's great here, truly... I wanted to get some help with editing... Do you have any ideas on where to start? Thanks so much for the help! I'd love to help out here and make it stay perfect... Any bit counts, am I right? CJ | Talk | PTF Rename request again ...I'm thinking to rename to "Blower Pot", so it is a more original name, based well, mine is basically just the Brawl Stars "Darryl" but with a "Omg" on the end, so I prefer to make a more unique username instead of this. Well, I will keep this username on some other sites and wikis, but I would like to chance my username to "Blower Pot" in Pikmin Fanon, and which so would also happen in Fanon Wiki too I'll presume. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game Re:Userpage I do think it was a subconscious choice to put it at the end of the list due to its size. It's a fun game, after all. I really like the comedy expressed in the notes (the Waterwraith's in particular had the perfect four-way dynamic between The President, Marie, Louie and the Dolphin Lander) and the use of the otherwise underrepresented New World creatures like the Capstalk and Crystal Kettlebug is always welcome. I can't wait to see where you take it and the post Pikmin 4 sequel! This kinda reminds me of that discussion we had around the time I first joined the wiki. --CarrotStilts1 (talk) 22:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC) So I just wanna say cheepy-cheepy is #1 mod Dabebo921 (talk) Naturally. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  14:35, 6 March 2024 (UTC) Order of fangame sections on pages Hi, thank you so much for helping clean up my pages! I noticed that you moved my Antarctic Survival sections around a bit on some pages, like the one for the Arctic Cannon Beetle and Mamuta. Is there a specific order that the fangames are supposed to follow? I figured that since my game was a spinoff title that deviates from the typical Pikmin formula, it belonged at the bottom, but you moved them closer to the top. Where should I put my fangame sections relative to the other fangame sections? – A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project) It is in alphatical order. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game About using other users' creatures Hello, I have a question regarding using concepts from pages made by other wiki users in a user's own fangame. Specifically I am curious about whether it is allowed to use enemies and Pikmin on this wiki in a fangame, even if the fangame creator did not create the original enemy or Pikmin type. I was considering creating DLC/expansion packs for my own game, Pikmin: Antarctic Survival, which would feature recruitable creatures and Pikmin that are not from the mainline Pikmin games but instead originate from fangames on this wiki. Do I need to get a user's permission before using their enemy or Pikmin type in my own game? What if the user no longer uses this wiki, so I cannot ask them? I assume I don't need permission for something like the Acidic Dweevil which is a somewhat common concept, but what about a more unique enemy type like the Peach Bulborb or Chia Jellyfloat, or even a creature in a completely new family like the Curdew? What if the creature has important story significance, like the Grimacing Cremblub or Complex Parasite? I love the ideas on this wiki and would love to make crossover content with them, but I don't want to commit a violation of intellectual property or seem like I'm stealing ideas. – A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project) 100 Days of Something-or-Another I've still been thinking about 100 Days in spite of its abandonment. Obviously it's gonna be ported here and touched up to a modern standard some day or another, but more importantly I've been thinking on the possibility of going back and revising some stuff for accesibility. It might be multiple years out of date, but I truly do love some of the ideas I came up with for the game, and I still have memories of what else I wanted to add. In short, I'd like to ask if I could take porting its contents in my own hands. Is that cool with you, or would you rather a bot or user of higher power do it instead? I'd love to integrate it back into modern Pikmin Fanon culture, but if I must wait, that's possible too. --CarrotStilts1 (talk) 18:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC) Thank you Cheepy! I didn't know there WAS a timeline page, that's actually really useful! I learn so much every day on here, thank you so much for helping me with this, cheepy! CJ-Does-Pikmin (talk) 23:07, 26 March 2024 (UTC) Category question Hi, I have a quick question regarding enemy categorization. For the mist enemies category, I was going to put creatures in that category that can use mist in one or more of my games, and are from the official Pikmin games. However, I realized that it might be confusing to add a new hazard that doesn't even exist in the official games to categorize official enemy pages. Should I refrain from putting canon enemies into this category and rework how I use the category, or is it just me who feels like doing this might be a bit odd? Also, some enemies like the Arctic Cannon Beetle don't even always use mist in my games, and it's specific to the one in Antarctic Survival, so that confuses things further. – A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project) About the bloodbath joke… The joke i did in the Bloodbath page was a joke and was not meant to be taken seriously. It was a random idea i had. ~I’m PikminKart SuperCircuit, and I know the Pikmin Comic schedule! 21:23, 31 March 2024 (UTC) I know, but the thing was, this wiki is for Pikmin games, not Geometry Dash, and the page is pretty much just a description of the level, not mentioning anything about Pikmin, except for that infobox, but only having the sicentific name. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game it was a joke and was intended to be removed, but it was a early April fools joke. ~I’m PikminKart SuperCircuit, and I know the Pikmin Comic schedule! 23:05, 31 March 2024 (UTC) I see. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  13:06, 1 April 2024 (UTC) Probably, if you just did it during 1st april I would know it was for april fools not a random joke version out of nowhere. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game Question When 1st april, will you start cleaning pages up? Well, I'm gonna presume that you didn't cleaned other pages much but the one that weren't jokes, such as the Monster Sewerat. So I'm gonna guess it is to keep them as the joke, right? – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game I wanted to today, but I don't have all day to be on Pikmin Fanon. ~ Cheepy-Cheepy  16:20, 1 April 2024 (UTC) Enemy03 So, I saw there had a Enemy03, does it counts as separate unused enemy, or it is counted as early Spornet, well, it has no face apparently, so I'm asking if it should be made as a own article or not. But based on the logic, you would probably add it to the eyebulb family, and Soundwave would do it for their game in a instant. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game Question How do you improve icons? ~I’m PikminKart SuperCircuit, and I know the Pikmin Comic schedule! 22:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC) Reskins I saw you changed the "reskin" to "skin", but actually, they are really called reskins, which refers to how they are the same Pikmin on how it acts, but with a different design, animations, and sound effect. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game ...Also, what do you think about customization, what I recently added? Well, it is under construction but I'm gonna guess it would be cleanup up, lots of those descriptions would be probably... But I wonder if you liked it, well, not everyone ever did such stuff on this wiki, originally, there had no customization, but just a mode where you could turn your Pikmin into Walking Pikmin, until I expanded this. And this was before april fools, when I was planning what I could do. – Blower Pot Talk | Contributions | Fanon game Cleanup regarding objectivity policy I've started a cleanup project on Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator and I noticed that most of the pages made for that game do not follow the modern objectivity policy due to being made before the policy was created, namely that they use the word "you" to refer to the player or reader and are generally written in a more casual and non-professional manner. Should these be changed? I could start running through these and rewrite them, but I feel like getting rid of Portal-Kombat's iconic style would actually detract a lot from the pages, and it would be a laborious task to rewrite all of the pages anyway. – A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project) Honestly, I have mixed feelings on the objectivity policy anyway. Not that it changes anything what I think of course, but to give my two cents, I feel like it doesn't make as much sense to apply it to a wiki about fan-made Pikmin content made for fun, compared to applying it to a wiki which is used to record information about an actual real topic, which can be used for research and documentation purposes. Pikipedia needs to be professional because it is a formal encyclopedia encompassing all Pikmin content, which is used as a resource for all information relating to the game which is needed for any purpose, whether that be as a guide for stuck players, a repository for some information or statistic relating to a creature, or an up-to-date collection of recently revealed Pikmin information. It is kept formal and objective, because it covers a professional and objective topic, namely the Pikmin franchise of games, and all related topics. Meanwhile, the same reasoning cannot really be applied to Pikmin Fanon. Pikmin Fanon was born in the late 2000s as a passion project by a bunch of Pikmin fans who wanted a place to document their Pikmin fan content, collected from the Pikmin Wars forum, user pages on Pikipedia, and other fan sources of Pikmin content during the massive Pikmin content drought which lasted all the way to mid-2012 when Pikmin 3 was finally revealed. It was never meant to be a formal documentation site in the same vein as Wikipedia or Pikipedia, but rather as a place where anyone could make their own ideas of what Pikmin could be into reality. The original Pikmin Fanon projects like Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator and Pikmin: The After Years were created by young Pikmin fans who wanted to share their game ideas with the world, and didn't care so much about how their information was presented, as opposed to just being able to write about these ideas for fun. Looking back at the old Pikmin Fanon pages, especially the historical versions of them before the modern era collection of edits, there's a level of nostalgia and innocence found in those pages which is very much emblematic of the internet of the late 2000s, and is something that has been lost in some cases with the strict rules we now have that are based on the Pikipedia standard. I feel like these policies are not nearly as appropriate for what Pikmin Fanon is, and what it always has been since I started reading it in 2009. Modern Pikmin Fanon at times feels clinical and impersonal, as if it is made as a professional endeavor rather than as a hobby by a group of video game fans of various ages and backgrounds. Fan game creation in its essence is an innately passionate and personal experience, and this feels like it goes directly at odds with the objective and detached style of writing which pages now use, which gives off a bit of an odd and inconsistent vibe. Of course, I fully understand why Pikmin Fanon's policies are the way they are. A wiki without standardization like this could become quite disorganized and messy with all its users pulling it in different directions, so strict guidelines are needed to keep it from devolving into a chaotic and haphazard mess of pages and categories with completely different formats. I think that strong guidelines, while some things about them bother me, are ultimately beneficial and necessary to the flourishing of the wiki, which is why I always make an effort to bring my pages and other pages I edit in line with the quality standard that I, and this wiki, want to uphold. Still, I feel like the policies being almost exactly identical to those of Pikipedia is not the best way of doing things, as Pikipedia in its nature is a very different sort of experience, diametrically opposed in some sense to what Pikmin Fanon is. At times, it feels almost robotic and emotionless, which seems quite strange for a wiki about something as fun and subjective as fan content for a popular game series. Parts of it make me feel a bit homesick and nostalgic for the days of the wiki when everyone was more casual and less serious, when things like Zero Two from Kirby being a Pikmin final boss and the "all-consuming space parasite OF DOOM!!" being an existential threat were just par for the course because of the youthful and naive sort of people who use a wiki like this. Pikmin Fanon was a massive part of my childhood since I was around seven years old, and I'm not sure if I would have liked Pikmin Fanon if my young self found it the way it is now, and might have been put off by all the formality. Ultimately like I said, I know that my opinion doesn't and shouldn't change anything here (Strong rules are important to make a cohesive experience, after all) but I just wanted to speak about something I had been thinking about for a while. I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is, or if anything should even change at all regarding wiki policies (I might be the only one bothered by this) but I feel like giving some thought to changes, even as a "what-if" situation, couldn't possibly hurt. A part of me really likes the way that TV Tropes handles its writing style, as it is a lot more relaxed and fun in its writing style while still having strong organization to prevent it from becoming chaotic like Pikmin Fanon has been at times. I feel like that sort of style would make more sense for a wiki like this which is about something as informal and casual as Pikmin fangames. Still, I don't even know if anything should change at all -- it's just something I've been thinking about. Perhaps games could have "walkthrough"- or "guide"-styled sub-pages, similar to the My Pikmin 3 Walkthrough (FAKE) fanon Pikmin thread which I've been working on bringing content from over to this wiki, where things are less strictly formatted and referring to the player directly as "you" is acceptable, as is typical for a walkthrough or guide. I'm strongly considering making a fake walkthrough for my new Pikmin fangame, Pikmin III, and it feels awkward and stilted to write "the player" every time instead of just saying "you" in a guide-styled page. The Sinister Incinerator pages on areas and caves, such as the one for Dark Field Cave, are pretty much written as fan-made "guide/walkthroughs" anyway, so I feel like the use of words like "you" and general informal tone are more understandable when one considers that fact. There might be some better way to split the guide off from the rest of the content, but it's clear that Portal-Kombat intended the writing of the page to be styled after a classic game walkthrough (like those made for Pikmin games on GameFAQs) and changing that takes away from the nostalgic style and discovery aspect of a new player experiencing this hypothetical "Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator" game, in favor of a page that instead exists to write out all the game's content in a detached manner. All of this is just my personal thoughts, and I don't know if anyone else even feels this way. I might just be stuck in the past (which would be par for the course for me as the resident "Pikmin Fanon boomer") but it feels like some of the nostalgic charm of the classic fangames of this wiki has been lost. That might be why even after all these years Sinister Incinerator is my favorite fangame, because even though a lot of the new fangames are much more impressive, they're missing that sense of being created by a young Pikmin fan's writings and the personality that shows through that. At the end of the day, I'm gonna stick to following the guidelines, because they're there for a reason -- I just don't know if a traditional set of wiki guidelines makes as much sense for a personal fangame wiki, compared to documentation of an official game. Thanks for taking the time to read all this, to anyone who's still here listening to my ramblings. (This is something I do sometimes which I call an "Amp-rant". People have been making fun of me for doing this kinda thing since 2018.) – A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project) Okay, what's kind of funny actually is I just took a look at Pikipedia's cave articles (example: Hole of Beasts, White Flower Garden) and these very frequently use the word "you", because they are considered "guide" pages. There is a {{guide}} template which these pages use at the start, and then they go into "how to reach" and individual sublevel sections. I'm going to try to replicate this style for when I clean up the Sinister Incinerator pages. We could probably have a guide template for this wiki as well. – A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project) Hi cheepy! So there's this thing I've been thinky-ing up... What if... WE JOINED FORCES??? Nah, I don't know what I was thinking there- but still, would you like to work on something? I think we'd do great! Oh, also, I kinda get the note you left on the Piklopedia page for Voyage in Space. I very much agree with it! - CJ-Does-Pikmin (talk) 03:03, 14 April 2024 (UTC) Don't You Wanta Fanta? Sorry for the brief departure; I've been precoccupied with My Singing Monsters for a little while now. I came to inform you of a joke idea I hade April 1st, but never actually put together in time for the day. It has been finalised and will be a fanon game about a major catastrophe with citric undertones. However I've decided to withhold it until further notice considering you had to touch up at least three seperate pages for April Fools already and I didn't want to burn you out. Will I make it for the next April Fools? Nobody knows! All I can say for certain is that I'll be using my experience with a certain humor wiki on FANDOM to make it my funniest output yet. Until then, I'll be looking for the Ancient Sirehound in Venice, Italy. Ciao! --CarrotStilts1 (talk) 00:28, 15 April 2024 (UTC) Thank you so much for your glowing support!

These were part of Portal-Kombat's original dungeon descriptions, and evidently how he wanted each cave to be introduced, but I notice that they have been removed from every one of PSI's dungeons. Is there a place I can put these on the cave pages where they won't be removed? – A Friendly Amprat (Talk | Contribs | Current project)
