Pikmin extinction occurs when every single [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]], including those planted in the ground and stored in the [[Onion]]s, is lost. The day ends immediately and the Onions each produce a single seed at the beginning of the following day.[[File:Normal pikminghosts.jpg|thumb|The spirits of some unfortunate Pikmin.]]

In [[Pikmin 1]], the following is Olimar's Journal entry on the first day extinction occurs:
A '''Pikmin extinction''' occurs when no [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] of a given type is alive. There are two types of extinction: a partial one, which is declared when all Pikmin of one type are lost, and a total one, which happens when there are no Pikmin left whatsoever. Pikmin can become extinct by being killed, swapped for a different type with [[Candypop family|candypop bud]]s, or left behind at [[sunset]]. [[Leader]]s often express great guilt, grief, or remorse whenever a Pikmin extinction occurs.


:''The Pikmin have all perished because of my own carelessness. I am an utter disgrace as a leader... How can I continue to collect parts without them? Still the Onions join me in low orbit, as if this Pikmin extinction had never happened. I shan't sleep tonight...''
To counter an extinction, the respective [[Onion]]s spit out a single seed of the same type if no sprouts of its kind are present in the same location. Regardless, the populations of extinct types must be regrown from scratch, and if not treated with care, will be easy prey to all manner of enemies and could quickly result in another extinction.


Many fans regard Extinction as being "childish", "careless" and even "cruel" due to the fact that after extinction, the player must regrow all of their armies from scratch. If players do not treat the 1-3 Pikmin given to them with care, their small, weak force will be easy prey to all manner of enemies and could quickly lead to another Extinction. To prevent this from happening, the safest place to grow Pikmin after an Extinction is [[The Impact Site]] in the first Pikmin game, and in [[Pikmin 2]] the [[Awakening Wood]] is safe so long as one does not stray too far from the landing site.

Pikmin extinction
Gameplay aspect

A Pikmin extinction occurs when no Pikmin of a given type is alive. There are two types of extinction: a partial one, which is declared when all Pikmin of one type are lost, and a total one, which happens when there are no Pikmin left whatsoever. Pikmin can become extinct by being killed, swapped for a different type with candypop buds, or left behind at sunset. Leaders often express great guilt, grief, or remorse whenever a Pikmin extinction occurs.

To counter an extinction, the respective Onions spit out a single seed of the same type if no sprouts of its kind are present in the same location. Regardless, the populations of extinct types must be regrown from scratch, and if not treated with care, will be easy prey to all manner of enemies and could quickly result in another extinction.
