Post your Ideas for Viva Pinata: Trouble In paradise

[dragonachmaster]

I would luvvvvvv <3 it if pinatas were faster!have you seen the dragonach fly???it took him a minut(real time)to get to the other side and even the whilm beat him!!!

[charlietheunicorn]

I would love, the trick, MAGIC! what if you could teach them magic! how cool would that be?!

[dragonachmaster]

yeh,that would be great....but then enimys will make each other dissrpear and you would lose them

[charlietheunicorn]

But I mean like the coin trick. also, if you could talk tot he pinatas, and SMASH LANGSTON! *muaaa*

[Mika]

Well, all I'm hoping for is some good animals and some good music.

[n64player]

How about being able to put music you have on your console into the game!

[Pigxie]

I hope they have more pig style pinatas!

[Leon Kennedy]

Title says it all pretty much :P To some this may sound rather pointless since the aim of the game is create and run a thriving garden, but as the TV series showed there are some very varied and cool places in the Viva Pinata universe, and one of my only qualms with the original game was the fact that you were stuck in your garden.

I don't mean go out and catch Pinatas here (Pokemon rip off much? lol) but you get my point, to take a bit of a break from all the gardening and maintenance.

What do you guys think>

[OmniMaster]

I think thats a good idea.

Would go well with making your own character too.

[Sour Syrupent]

Yea! Exploring outside your garden would be very cool. You shouldn't be able to catch Pinatas, but being able to dig up or find items like chocolate coins or candy that you can send back to your garden.

Being able to design your own character to represent yourself in the game would be cool as well. Your would only use the character outside the garden, because a person would block too much of your view in the garden. I can imagine seeing your partner's character when you play co-op or exploring the village and actually walking into the shops.

It's probably too much to ask for, but it would be awesome.

[Macaraca]

Here is an actual place for you to post what you think they could add to the game as they are still making it:

My idea is A Diggerling minigame, when you direct them to the mine when they go into the mine you go round until you get the dragonache egg but you have to avoid rocks and things :)

[Leorex]

i totaly agree, even trying to read some of the press releases i literary had to re read the sentence because i was saying "viva pokemon."

i love the idea of having new pokemon, but not at the expence of changing what made this game unique. and that was the idea that the pinata's where free, but CHOSE to live in your garden, it was the idea that they could pack there bags and leave at any time.

i hope that fealing is still there

[charlietheunicorn]

A Meerkit!!!!!!!!!!

[Taco Kitty]

Create-a-Pinata mini game ^_^

[Zap657]

I think Rare already has their customization hands full with Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts :p

[Sour Syrupent]

My thoghts:

An item that I think would be cool is a trellis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trellis_%28agriculture%29)
Once placed in your garden like a section of fence, flowers and bushes could be planted at the base. One section of trellis could hold 2 flowers or one bush. The Plants would grow up and around the trellis, and would get an automatic growth bonus. Fertilizer could also be used, and would allow the flower to expand higher up the trellis. trellises could be stacked on top of each other (Only once) and joined side to side like frences.

I'd also like to see the mine's capabilities expanded. I have a few ideas:
1. More gems and precious stones, such as ruby, a few types of quartz, opal, amber, or others.

2. Gems come out of the mine "rough." Rough gems would be sold for less money than their "cut" counterparts. To unlock a gem's full value, have Bart tinker it.

3. More precious/non-precious metals. There is already gold, but what about platinum, silver, copper, and Iron. Like the gems, metals would come out of the mine in "ore" form and would need to be tinkered for their full value.

4.More eggs. Instead of just the Dragonache being found in the mine, what if some regular pinata eggs ocasionally popped out of the mine. This trick some people into thinking they've got a Dragonache, but it's really a _______! You could end up getting a non-resident egg, and getting free pinata.

[Macaraca]

that would be a good idea for number 2

and number 4 sounds good although i would prefer getting a dragonache :p

[charlietheunicorn]

Albino pinatas!

[PINATAcast]

The ability to pick up your pinata and move it.

[Pigxie]

The ability to keep wild pinatas! then I can have my black and white garden and rule the world! >:D

[PINATAcast]

that would be kool too

[midna1]

I hope with the snow tundra they put.

1. On a sunny day it starts to melt the snow
2. You have a sparkling permafrost for cold mornings
3. Ok you need an aurora of rainbow colours:oops:
4. You need a bonfire festival with fireworks, sparklers and roast chestnuts to keep the pinatas warm (like i would put a calendar with festivals for the pinatas)

Ok I think the pinatas should eat more different foods. For the balanced diet. And they poo out the food for fertilizer

[charlietheunicorn]

Dancing! Like.. a stage for them to dance.

[Amaroq]

Good one Charlie! Leafoes gets her twocan pinata named Taco.

[Dr. Sparrel]

I'm not sure if this thread is actually pushing suggestions through, but more what your hoping for. Rare has already set to work on the project and have a rough deadline for september. However what I would like to see in Trouble in Paradise is a faster way for the hunter to catch pinatas, for example you can tell Gretchen to catch more than 1 pinata at a time, but have a maximum number of pinatas at a time. And of course the more pinatas you want, the more it costs and the longer it takes.

[VPplaya]

You can hunt for pinatas yourself in TIP. What if after the game comes out they could have DC like the option to make water gardens with pinatas that swim under water.

[midna1]

you need underwater pinatas :cool: like a great barrier reef of pinatas. Or from the deep sea like. So maybe in VP3. I would put:

dolphin
sea cucumber
blue whale
kipper fish
evil shark
squiddy
evil baracuda eel :mad:
and some octopie

[midna1]

ok you need snow-squassils. Or desert variant. So the cannon at pinata central went wrong and shot the squassils into the snow tundra :cool: .

I would put a chamelion with like octocamo. Then you press b button to camoflage in the snow or desert.

And if you keep feeding the pinatas they get fat and slow.

[benm66]

why do you want that? I think they should have the baby pinatas live longer because they are cool as they are small.

they also need a chinchilla pinata and call it a chinchilli.

[Hosscat]

I hope they will have it so you can freeze your water somehow. Then when the pinatas walk on it they can slide about.
For some reason i'd like to see a wooly mammoth with the edition of snow. And more holiday themed decorations.

[sourwhirlm]

the ability to put your logo on clothes for your pinata.

[ggiovene]

I'd like to be able to upgrade the Helpers' abilities and maybe even see some new ones. It would be great to have a Fertiling or something. That way he/she could be posted at a plant/tree and fretilize it at the perfect moments. It could be a full time employee, like the others, or just a contractor that you pay for a single task, like Willy and Bart. And I suppose if there will be snow, we might need a Shoveling!?

[Warren]

i guess i posted it in the wrong thread before but I wish there was a way to mark a Pinata as uneatable

[r3dro4rio]

Maybe there could be a cruise ship to another island as a very special event like when someones level 75 for about 30 game days to get a chance to get a fey very exotic pinatas.

[midna1]

ok I would put symbiotic pinatas:oops:. ok some pinatas can help each other like for chippo and cocoadile you have a mini ground bird to help clean their teeth. Or like the squassils can ride around on the fizzlybear or to transport hazelnuts like :cool:

[Razahyder]

Here are my ideas

New areas

Rainforest: Piñatas that live exclusively here are :Bonboon, :Chewincorn, :Cinnamonkey, :Horstachio,:Parryboo, :Sarsgorilla, : Doenut, :Roario, :Chippotamus, :Jameleons, :Zumbug, :Elephanilla : Cocodile :Pigxie :Tigermisu :Pecknmix

Woodland: Piñatas that live exclusively here are :Badgesical, :Bunnycomb, :Buzzeng, :Cherrapin, :Fizzlly Bear,:Juicygoose,:Galagoogoo,:Swana,:Quackaberry, :Mallowolf,:Macaraccoon,:Sparrowmint, :Squazzils, :Sherbat, :All Snakes, :Fudgehog, :Sweetooths, :Tartridge, :Hootyfruity :Pretztail : Robean :Smelba

Marsh(Part of woodland)Piñatas that live exclusively here are :Newtgat, :Lackatoad, :Licatoad, :Custacean, :Slangmango,: Dragumfly,.

Defences for primary consumers
Worms can go underground if feeling threatened,or Zumbug can run from Roario creating a national geographic chase like scene etc.

Some piñatas can have social orders
Such as for Roario you can assign someone to be the alpha male, hunter defender etc thus making it possible for them to attack big pinatas like Elephanilla in a stylish fight scene and after the pinata breaks a lot of candy comes out of it thus making a pecking order for Mallowolf. After they have eaten the spare candy would attract other animals mainly scavengers.

Improved pinata insects
:Raisants, :Blackraisan and :Termites will remain underground, they will only require one house per garden and will be rivals of each other.The :Queen will have a luxury house,the :Mate will have a poker house, the :Soldiers a gym house and the :Servants a servant quarters. You can now assign castes and jobs to them in a similar way to sim ants.Worms will only have one house per garden and will remain mainly underground and after you built their house their population will become 10000 be default and will become part of the :Raisants, :Blackrasiant and :Termites foodchain. Moles will hunt them all and also remain mostly underground.

Pinatas can now eat and mate by themselves

Insurance
Their is now an insurance plan. You can now invest how much insurance money you want for each garden which will make the doctor heal piñatas with out you pointing at which piñata and calling him.

Improved mating game.
You can now use Xbox peripherals to play minigames. E.g. using the Xbox headset you have to say the words that come up on the screen which will then be translated into bird songs, using Xbox live camera you have to play dance games or Wario ware styled games or the controller for a guitar hero game or combine all of them.

Ruffians now live only in rains forests and are part of the food chain.

Seamless like sims 3
Instead of multiple gardens there are now only 5 areas rainforest, woods, desert, arctic and garden but they are now 2 times bigger then the size of the maximum gardens you can have combined.You have to click boards like you do in trouble in paradise to access them.

Garden features.
Only place where domestic animals can live.Though pudgeons can go randomly in garden, woodland, rainforest and marsh area

New worker
You can now buy a cloud which automatically gives the right amount of water to each plant.

Story mode.
In story mode you play in the viva Piñata Island that was in fox kids.Also occasionally they will release new episodes of storyline

Insects size is reduced compared to other pinatas and garden.Also their house size is reduced.

Modified houses
Pinatas like buzzlegum house have to be placed in trees and buzzlegum have a social order similar to sim ants.

More hybrids and transforming features.
How about a hybrid between a polly and frizzly bear which would be able to live in both areas, also if you transform certain they are automatically transported or fly to their areas.

Certain pinatas are moved to desert and arctic areas
Desert:S'morepions
Arctic:Moojoo

Insect and mousemallow can live in all areas except arctic

Party features
You can buy sound feature which will make pinatas dance when you play a song using the xbox dashboard.Each pinata has a special skill that it does in the party if invited to one chores, dance, band and misc entertainment.When pinatas are invited to discos you can now go their and see what their doing.For chores and misc entertainment you will play warioware styled games for which you can use controller or xboxvision.For dancing a button mashing game or use the xboxvision camera you can also you songs burned xbox to play in the game. For singing you can use the headphone for singing the words which would be translated into pinata language, controller for button mashing and use songs burned into your hard drive for the game.

New dragonache storyline in viva piñata
Their will now be dragonache storyline. First you will now get 9 different eggs from the temple which will be place inside a cottage in the garden. First place each egg in different area, feed each dragonache an ice key to make them adults, then buy a 5 thrones, then a knights quarter in each area where there is an extra dragonaches. Finally get a choclodocus, mature it, have every adult piñata alive and not just in your list, complete all achievements after this the choclodocus will give a siren which will show a cut scene show something. After this all piñatas will have special abilities like the ones you get from turning a sour piñata into a good piñata but piñatas with sour versions will only get special abilities when you convert them into good piñatas.

The smaller things
:DMore pinatas.
:DGlitches are reduced.
:DImproved menus.
:DImproved interface.

[OmniMaster]

Some good ideas there.


All I can think of is a Cobra (Corn Cobra) and Mongoose (Monjuice) Pinata.

[Razahyder]

Not a bad idea.

[IronicTrout]

I love the corn codra and monjuice they are brilliant!! lol

[Amaroq]

Vp:TiP just came out and you are doing this already? And all the different gardens is cool and all but its still way to much. Sorry guys but this probably will never happen but if it does it will be quite some time until then.

[Sprig285]

Vp:TiP just came out and you are doing this already? And all the different gardens is cool and all but its still way to much. Sorry guys but this probably will never happen but if it does it will be quite some time until then.

if you where part of this forums when VP:C came out you'll remeber like 50 Threads likr this poping up after about 2 weeks of it coming out

[missy]

I was going to say a worker to fertilize plants in my garden, but thinking about it now ... that would defeat the purpose of finding out what does what and achieving the awards.

Maybe a little bank setup so you can store some of your money and it earns interest the longer its in there?

I like the cloud idea ... or possibly a weather forecast to tell you how the weather is going to be over the next few days.

[VPplaya]

Candy Crane which then evolves into a flamango if it eats a mango :D plus the crickmint

[yinyangmama]

you have some very creative ideas! i, for one, will be happy if i just knew that a VP3 would be coming out at all! i don't want my pinata goodness to end anytime soon...

however, if i had one dream VP wish is would be an oceanic world. sharks, whales, dolphins, lobsters, all manner of fish, plankton, anything! i am very much in love with the new turtle and crab that was added!!! :mrgreen:

[sleepyowl]

Maybe a system that is plausible is something of an if-then thing.
If a pinata is sick then the doctor is called.
If pinata x sadness goes below x percent, a notification pops up. (I get so upset when my prized pinatas leave while I'm busy working on something else).

If anyone played the Creatures series, I know one of those games implemented a system like this. It was mainly notifications to the user when something was wrong with a creature (monitored levels). And alarms could be created in the third (not that I ever used the blue print system) to notify when things were present.

Your ideas are great, well thought out for the most part. I just think that it would make it too complex. While a wide range of people play VP, it does have a greater appeal to kids. Not that a kid couldn't enjoy a complex game.

I think I personally would be happy with more animals and variants added to the next one. By more animals I specifically mean a platypus (which the boyfriend thinks should be called Platypie). Other animals I'd like to see: Panda, Giraffe, RED PANDA, Anteater, Flying squirrel, Otter. Even if those were the only changes.

I don't think I'd want VP to get too complex anyway.

I think a sea VP would be nice, but I don't see it existing as part of a future release, but as a spin-off of the main line. The ocean would certainly offer a wide variety of pinatas to create.

[mark lee16]

I would Love to see some of these Ideas, some of them are brilliant, Unfortunately On CVG Threads They have said There isnt going to be a VP:3 and that they are taking a break from the series. So there is a possibility there WILL be more but then there is a possibility that there WONT Be. Ill have a look a little later and see if I can Find that thread for you guys.

[VP_GAMER]

Brilliant ideas! And even if there isn't VP3, what about a VP2 expansion pack available over the Xbox Live Marketplace for, say, 800-8,000 Microsoft Points? I'd buy it immediately! :D

[vinsonbar]

Ya those ideas are a bit out there. Also a moojoo isn't an arctic animal. they are more woodland. Theres moose around here and we have 4 seasons but anyways. IMO if they just made an expansion pack this time instead of a complete new game and just gave us more pinatas that would be great. I dunno about another snake pinata though I mean we all ready have one. thats like making an alligator pinata when we all ready have a crocadile pinata. and lord knows we don't need more birds. I say an underwater VP would be sweet. manatee's, dolphins, sharks, lobster, crabs, angel fish, manta rays, sea lions, eels, whales, turtle, etc.

[Amaroq]

Although this isnt going to happen, sea and a few more spiecies of pinata (sharks, octipus, dolphin giraffe, panda, sea gull etc.) would be nice but the ranks of pinata and the graphic chasing just donst seem like Rare.

[saraleigh]

I'd love to have sea creatures as mentioned before - manatees would be so cute! And it would be awesome to have the feature to "catch" certain pinatas like shrimp and tuna for profit. Or you could tinker fish to make sushi. I also would like more domestic pinatas such as hamsters, guinea pigs, goldfish, mice, etc.

[Pretztail4eva]

Here you can post any new ideas you can think of for the next viva pinata game e.g new pinatas, a new story, new regions ect

Here are some of mine:

It could be in Space! Called Viva Pinata Galactic Paradise! The story could be that a new villain (haven't thought of a name yet) has abducted your garden and the small area around it (including the village, jardinaro's family, current wild pinatas, dastardos, the ruffians and proffessor pester) to a new mysterious planet and you must find out what is going on.

There could be some new alien pinatas! here are some of mine:

Strawroid(strawberry, roid)
Zorffee (Zorc, toffee)
Fruikie (Fruit, wookie)

more ideas coming! feel free to tell everyone yours!

[VPplaya]

Garburst-Gar (type of fish), starburst :D

[vinsonbar]

If they want the game to be more popular then it is they need to stop recycling pinatas. (most of the romance dances and sayings from the last game are exactly the same this time around) they need to expand there horizons. perhaps have different versions. a VP Sea life game. a VP: Pets edition. etc. wouldn't take to much to do really. I mean right now they have a goods mixture of pinatas but the game/s could be so much more if they seperated it more.

Just make a garden with the ex-domestic pinatas and there you go. VP Pets! :D

[Sibone]

Wow, lets just put in the game disc and instantly win. Your basicly wanting a game which isnt a challenge where you can sit back and it does it all for you. Not only that . . . its not the sims. the idea about the oodland stuff sucks, why dont you just make your own woodland are. I made my own jungle using a mix of long and short grass, water, differant trees and stuck to jungle based scenery and jungly pinata's. It makes the game way more fun if you design stuff on your own instead of having stupid templates.

[boomheadshot45]

I think the next one needs to add Salt Water so it can be a water type, where like a Whale, Shark, jellyfish, ect. live. And they need to add Pandas, Cape Buffalo, Gazelles, Giraffes, ect. And Sibone, the more features=more you can do=which can also make it more harder. You still have to implement them correctly, put ____ in the right spot, manager more stuff, ect. It wouldn't be that easy.

[squishy]

the ability to make hills and tunnels

[Razahyder]

good idea.

[VPplaya]

Some of those animals i have never heard before, and i know a lot about animals. I think RARE should stick with just making pinatas out of more common varieties of animals

[Fudgehog_Fan]

If there were another game of Viva Pinata what do you think they should add to it here are some things I think

An actual ending where you defeat Prof. Pester (for now....)
More Desert and Arctic pinatas like a cobra that would be the evolution of a sryupent
More crossbred pinatas
the ability to raise sour pinatas in a sour garden
A bigger garden
there should be new pinatas such as
Gingeraffe
Flamento
Gruffin
Truffalo
What do you think? do you have any new ideas such as fruits vegetables
pinatas or more?

[shoo0514]

I think it would be cool, but RARE JUST got done making TIP and PP. But i definatly like your ideas!

[CenterShock]

If there were another game of Viva Pinata what do you think they should add to it?


How about "PINATA INSTINCT" where differnt pinatas are pitted against themselves where they battle each other to a pulp. (haha, funny paper joke!)

Or maybe a cool racing themed game like Mario Cart. OF course Rare would have to be original and not go the traditional race car route so maybe have the Pinata's race using silly items like pogo sticks, roller skates, hampster wheels, etc. :D

[Pretty Pretztail]

A think they should have something I made up a while ago,
Paint-A-Pinata, where you could just paint your pinatas different colors or somethinglol.
You could make you discolored fan charries or whatever. c:

[SilverKitty]

I think you should have little mini-games like Whack-a-Pester! Pester is tied up! We have a stick! Press A to smash Pester. Press B to poke Pester. Press X to end the MIni-game.

Or something where you got to customize a person and have a house and a garden so you could get a little more interaction. But no Pester! *hurray!*

Or maybe something where you could go into the jungle to get exotic pinatas.

Or maybe something where you could buy paint-cans to change the theme of your pinatas. (i.e. A whirlm might turn sour-colors with a bucket of Sour Paint.)

[Fudgehog_Fan]

A think they should have something I made up a while ago,
Paint-A-Pinata, where you could just paint your pinatas different colors or somethinglol.

Amazing idea if you could do that I would totally paint my pretztail pure white and i thought of another idea were you can explore pinata islnad even go to town and meet the locals and They should have more dinosaurs like a pterodactyl and also this time you can have fish pinatas like the one in miss petulas bowl on top of her head:D

[Pretztail4eva]

I think they should either make a Mini Viva Pinata game (Like mario kart but viva pinata style) or just more expansion packs such as one that lets you create an underwater garden with sharks and fishes or one that gives you more regions to explore.

Unfortunately they've just realesd Pocket Paradise and Trouble in Pardise so it will be a long time until the next game.

[wishful justice]

I have fantasized about a feature that would allow the player to unlock a function to adjust the hue of their pinatas- or even just a randomize colors function to allow the player to create their own custom variants. . . that would be so sweet. There should definitely be some sort of fish pinata that actually lives in the water. I would like to see a lot more crossbreeding - maybe a fish tycoon/ spore variation of viva pinata where you make hundreds of wild mutant/ combo species :)

[pinatalover500]

I've had this idea for a long time.

You know how some pinatas fight? Well, others could be friends! They'd dance together, preform tricks for eachother.......

[TuM_KuNg]

They sould have 'Viva Aquaria'...
hehehe

[Fudgehog_Fan]

I also thought of another feature and that would be the ability to transport your pinatas from TiP and on to the next game but first you would have to unlock the species to allow it to be transported and you can transport your chocolate coins to next game so you would already get all the cc youve been saving and never got a chance to spend

[Gerard]

they should put a landscaping tool in. so you can make hills and such

[o Potential o]

Bridge
/thread

[OmniMaster]

Two words: Corn Cobra.

I'm determined to get it as an actual Pinata. >>

[Darth Eragon]

there should be a viva pinata sparing game like super smash bros brawl.and they should have a create a pinata like a taffly head drao body sparrowmint tail and feet

[TheLazyiestTurtle]

ok i think they should add more pinatas like a kangaroo a panda so on or maybe make it like zoo tycoon but only its called pinata island tycoon or something i dont know and as someone said earyler landscaping

[T-Dawg93]

I think it would be cool if you could choose what type of garden you want, like an under water garden.

[Jeli1259]

they should have a jungle enviroment!

and an under water garden option so you could get fish and sharks

[T-Dawg93]

Anyone have new idaes for a VP3? Mine is a to be able to have underwater pinatas (shark, Whale, Dolphin).

[SilverKitty]

Maybe a place where you can make an Ancient garden. (i.e. Old palm trees from the Dinosaur age, new Dino pinata)

[T-Dawg93]

Another idea! A sour Dino. it could be like a t-rex or a velcoraptor.

[Pieenas areAWESOME!!!]

uh how about..........a spore vp where you make your own pinatas but just pinatas

[T-Dawg93]

that would be cool.

[stepher vp]

Mabey genders.

[Mika]

I have something that might help for VP completion of the game, some games if you finish it 100% or so like on the Kirby games. So since VP has no real ending and you don't know when you complete because Leafos says you leveled up and junk and there is no completion fanfare. So I was thinking that on the VP menu screen, you have a percentage rating of how much you completed the game by getting the EXP points and such. I hope that will prevent confusion of if you completed the game or not.

That's kind-of already there. Not in the main menu, but in the journal (in leaderboards, click on "Awards Earned"; once there, click Y to find friends or again to find yourself, which saves time from searching, and compare to ALL). Your idea is good, though; I would appreciate a percentage if the game were new and nobody had all 841 (or whatever the next game, if made, would have). The journal substitutes that for me, I guess.

[Hudson]

Well I know TIP is already out and Rare will most likely not make a 3rd Viva Pinata game but I still want to share my opinion of what I would've liked to see in the TIP game..........

So basically my idea was that they had an in-deph pinata creator feature, a bit like the one included in Spore. I would've loved to have made my own pinata and its own house for it to have lived in.

[TwilightVestige]

I'm pretty sure another Pinata title will come, maybe not right away given the release of Pocket Paradise and TIP, but we should see another one in the future. :)


Giraffe and Llama Pinatas plzthx.

[Hudson]

I only said that I don't think a third Viva Pinata title will come out (meaning on the console, not handheld) because I don't think it would be in Rare's buisness interests considering the poor sales of Viva Pinata 1 and TIP got since them both being released. Of course I would love a third Viva Pinata game to come out but I don't think they would bring out another sequel to satisfy quite a "petit" fanbase, though I could be wrong.

If Rare is thinking of a third console game then please as a new pinata can you include the leopard. Also with the leopard pinata you could have a snow leopard that you could only catch in the Pinartic.

[Ninja+42+Cheese=Viva!]

Viva has won multiple awards, so like many of Rare's games, it has left a decent mark on video-gaming history, so I think that Rare is going to at least make one last game, and see if it works

[Sonar]

Allow us to do straight edges. This takes some playing around. EG pond/grass/sand "unsure why we cant as the game is set by squares".

Change the font/color of the names of pinatas. (that silver is horrible).

Don't go back to the Hunter after Deploying cached Pinata. This is annoying.

Turn on/off Tree/Plant produce? - So trees/plants will just sit there and not grow anything - leeding to the tree not dropping lets say 12 apples taking up garden space.

Sort out those nasty pop messages that pop up at the bottom of the screen.

We have normal/desert/arctic where is Space? :) Alien Pinata's? lol

A bridge? or a platform that sits over water.

Be able to hover over Fences/Pavings and sell them like normal things.

Still thinking....

Edit
Not downgrading the game in anyway ;p I'm hooked :(

[reklaw_vahn]

Don't go back to the Hunter after Deploying cached Pinata. This is annoying.

I agree with this statement fully :)

[Sonar]

I agree with this statement fully :)

Yup unsure why its needed, maybe when you place a pinata in garden it needs time to load it into the game or something therefore going back to the hunter sorts the game out.

[reklaw_vahn]

I think it would be cool if they added a new area that was ocean or lake or something that had actual fish pinatas and also a mythical whale pinata or some sort of water "dinosaur" like a Pleasiasaur...

Also, if the above happened then it would be cool to have a new shovel upgrade that allows one to dig deep water or make small hills.

[OgreBattle]

Let me first start off by saying I in NO WAY hate Viva Pinata, it is one of my favorite games. Ever since the beginning I wondered why these garden customization options were not in the game.

1. Raising and lowering land.

Seriously, i hate to say this but looking at just the flat garden the whole time can get boring. At least have the ability to make hills and mountains, while being able to make valleys AND:

2. Deep water.

Pinatas can swim: at least allow them to in water deeper than them! A Cocoadile can only have so much fun without being submerged in water. This allows also the introduction of new pinatas such as sharks and whales--which we all want.
And with these we can have all sorts of options, like waterfalls, rushing rivers, ocean gardens, and

3. Houses on the water.

I came to this when I built my Newtgats a house on the beach--it looks like it should be on the water!

And that my friends, is what I would like to see.

Wow!! This is really similar to a post I made on GameFAQs...I totally agree with you on these three points! I hope the Devs add all three to the third game...Especially the fish! I would love to have a whale (not a fish) and some Koi!!

[carlos]

i think that instead of being able of making oceans and hills and all the other stuffs you could decide were you want your garden to be like in the sea, in a mountain or underground

[crazy girl 101]

I wish they had you could pet the pinatas or make mix breeds of pinatas

[reklaw_vahn]

I wish they had you could pet the pinatas or make mix breeds of pinatas

Well...in the DS version you can pet pinatas, and in the TIP/Classic versions you can cross romance a Swanana and a Rashberry to create a Pigxie.

[Grimlock5087]

I would like more things for garden designs..........be it more themed items or what not. Or the ability to make a pinatas house bigger. Like making a sweetle house to a full blown pyramid would be awesome. I too would totally enjoy marine themed animals....and a few more dinosaurs....and some mythical creatures too....but i ask too much

[lordfoul69]

Yes, more themed garden design items like Christmas and Halloween. Also a larger assortment of formal statues and fountains. Some random wildcard varients when different people on XBOX live romance pinatas so some truely unique pinatas can be created. I would like to be able to release pinatas with my label into the wild and have them be able to randomly enter other players gardens since we are all supposed to be gardening on pinata island :)

[Pashapup]

These are all just ideas to make an amazing game more amazing. I heart VP with a passion!

Bridges, definitly add bridges to the game.

Plants that grow in the water, not just on the banks, such as seaweed or coral.

More mythical animals, like Griffins and Pheonixs and Chupacabras (Lol, mabey not a Chupacabra, but I'd sure love one)

Pinata Paint- Sort of like how it is on neopets, being able to paint pinatas colors and such. Mabey have a fire one to make pinatas warm colors, and a water one for cool colors, and white brush, a black brush, a brown brush, and a rainbow brush. Variants are awesome, but sometimes I want a pinata to be a certain color that isnt one of its 3 variants. There could even be special ones like christmas and halloween and valentines day brushes that you could only get on those nifty little scanning cards.

Faster walking Tinkerer, hes really slow, lol.

Ideas for terrian: Savannah Grass (Yellowish grass), Rock (or gravel), saltwater (deep water), and LAVA (lol, not really, but wouldnt it be cool to have lava?)

And lastly, wouldn't it be amazing if pinatas from the show would randomly visit the garden? lol, I would crack up! They'd come in and out like Seedos or Leafos.

Oh, and I want a SHERBERUS!!! (rofl.)

[Pashapup]

Ah! Sorry for the double post, but I must add!

Bittersweet pinatas! There could be an area outside the garden (like the desert and artic) called Bittersweet Cave that would have pinatas that appear sour but could be kept as residents and wouldn't attack or hurt your garden (like gentle giants). You could trap them and bring them into your garden and their resident and romance needs would be the same as a tamed sweet of its species.

And baby pinatas should look like babies, not just smaller versions. Like a Quackberry would be a little yellow duckling, and a roario would be a maneless cub.

[Kion07]

My wish is to have a water subgarden. Also when first starting a garden, you have a map of the island and you can go to the dessert desert, pinarctic, a mountain, near pesters volcano, near the ocean, etc. Then you would be able to explore outside your garden a little.

[potarto]

Hey people. I think it would be awesome if they made a Viva Pinata 3. If anybody has any ideas for new pinatas, plants, characters/shops, or other new features post them here!:mrgreen:

[ImaTestWentBad]

Try doing a search for your thread before making a new one. I moved your post since this is not an introduction thread. That way you get more replies :)

[Trinity Galagoogoo]

I would also like to be able to tame sours but still keep them in their sour form. Some of them, like the sherbat, look much better as sours!

[ElectricWinds]

How about that Tigermisus, Fizzlybears and Cheetars (New pinata sugestion) can produce fur that can be tinkered into accesories for pinatas?

I Was tinking also about syrupent skin that can be made by Syrupents, Twingersnaps or Fourheads' but then i thought "What can this be used for?" and i thought they could be tinkered to syrupent eggs or something and you dont get any wildcards or romancer awards!

And as said above id suggest cheetar pinatas there like Tigermisus but they are cream instead of orange and have spots instead of stripes

[Birthday boy]

In this thread think of new ideas for items which means fences,food,etc


I thought of one

Name:Strawberry
Tinkered form: strawberry milkshake
Price:50
Tree/bush:Stawberry bush
Uses: none yet

[martythesourmalowolf]

a new way to get pinatas grab a wild one and put it in the unwildification chamber where you play a colect the stuf game to transform it to resident.

[Birthday boy]

maybe pinatas talking just words coming out of their mouth and you can choose which pinatas talk and which pinatas should not

and pinatas could learn attacks to protect your garden and I made up some moves but their from pokemon

Spider web:keeps anything from visiting or leaving the garden

Mean look:cannot leave the garden whatever they used it on

[Birthday boy]

I think the game could be a little more fun with more bad stuff here we make up more bad stuff I post mine

Name:scary face
what is it:a big floating scary looking face
where it comes out:sour pipes (ex:pester comes out of his big volcano with a statue of him)
When it appears:level 24
What it does:it comes out to come in your garden and scare anything in your garden like a sour mallowolf but it also scares helpers and residents plus it scares flowers to death with makes them brown and can't be used
how to keep it out/how to avoid it:have a complete tower of sour

[ImaTestWentBad]

....a big floating scary looking face...

Yes! Kinda like this
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm26/Cicismommy_2008/921ed3de-a9da-4631-9dfa-5cb697faa10.jpg
Waaa haaaa haaaa haaaa. Victory is mine! oh and know what else? Try to sell me or look at my Journal info...then
DON DON DOOOON! I crash your game HA!

~fin
love giant loather:twisted:

[Vivapinata'sAsSiStAnT45]

Sounds like some good ideas! But, however, what if there was a new tool that dug deep holes that water DOESN'T gather in? Like a terrain tool? I would make a mountain!

[Birthday boy]

cool then a new mountain goat pinata can climb on it

maybe there would be bamboo to grow and you can attract pandups (panda pinata panda+7up)

[Vivapinata'sAsSiStAnT45]

cool then a new mountain goat pinata can climb on it

maybe there would be bamboo to grow and you can attract pandups (panda pinata panda+7up)



The mountain goat pinata's name should be "bloat". (Black licourice + goat)

[pinata girl]

i had a idea that you but two skulls, two ribs and two spines all different colours and put the amber gem as normal in the garen store and get the cluckles with the hat and hatch the egg and you mite have twins:idea::colors:

[Birthday boy]

I have an idea for a new species
hamster + starburst = hamstar

appear:have a whirlm home in the garden

visit:have 2 whirlms and 1 wheel

resident have 1 one wheel and has eaten a whirlm

Romance:has eaten 6 sunflower seeds, have two wheels,have 20 square pinometer of grass, and have a hamstar home

house:A hamster cage

attack:hamster wheels

plus de-evolutions make an evolved form turn back

if a candary eats a whirlm it will revert back into a sparrowmint

if a chocstrich eats an ear of corn it will revert back into a cluckles

if a hoghurt eats rotten food it will revert back into a rashberry

if a juicygoose eats a loaf of bread it will revert back into a quackberry

if a lackatoad eats a green flutterscotch it will turn back into a lickatoad

if a moojoo eats a blueberry and a bluebell it will revert back into a doenut

if a parmadillo eats a thistle it will revert back into a fudgehog

if a pieena eats a bunnycomb or a tartridge it will revert back into a pretztail

if a pollolybear eats a jar of honey it will revert back into a fizzlybears

if a reddhott eats two daisies it will revert back into a taffly

if a salamango eats a watercress it will revert back into a newtgat

if a zumbug eats an apple and carrot it will revert back into a horstachio

[Birthday boy]

I think if there was difficulties
here are the difficulties are

easy a. k. a. just for fun
medium a. k. a. normal mode
hard:harder requirments and sours are more evil
really hard:even harder requirments and all bad things are worst

also appear requirments will be the same though

whirlm: visit: hard: 10 square pinometers of soil
really hard:100 square pinometers of soil

Resident:same

Romance:same

sour shellybean:
hard:will also eat flower heads also a little faster
very hard:it even eats the dead stalk as fast as ****************

more will be coming some other time

[FeralKitty]

I think if there was difficulties ...

Please post ideas in this thread, instead of making a new thread for every idea you have. Thanks.

[Vivapinata'sAsSiStAnT45]

I would like it if you could do the same thing with the syrupent and twingersnap eggs to make 2 or 4 headed snakes. But, what about doing that with all pinatas? That would be awesome!!!!!!!!!

[mrcyansan1]

ok guys ive played all 3 viva pinata titles availiable on xbox 360 and loved each one after seeing some of the posts about ideas for garden items new species etc i would like to propose we start a thread in the name of getting the next viva pinata game in to development hopefully we will get enough people on board to show that we would love a new game and also get enough fresh ideas in to the mix for the game devs to go through and get in to the game maybe this already happening maybe not but lets try and make a loud enough noise to get noticed plse add your thoughts and big sheep may help us to get this going lol

[reklaw_vahn]

I would love a new VP myself. BIGsheep should remember a lot of the crazy ideas that I have had but my favorite was/is having a deep water shovel upgrade that allows us to make deeper water so we can have sea pinatas and a legendary whale pinata similar to the Dragonache and Choclodocus.

[Spycrab Sam]

My idea is for more multiplayer capabilities, and not just always aiming for your pinata to cost a lot. What I mean is something for attributes, like dance skills and such. These would blend in to my idea of The Pinata Showcase Game. The way it works is sort of like the Pinata Pageant. EXCEPT you select your pinata's best skill it knows, and you could select from 3 modes, Single Pinata, Party Duo, and Garden Group (your ENTIRE selection of pinatas).

Tell me what you think.

[reklaw_vahn]

Something that sort of goes along with what I said earlier is that it would be cool to have another shovel upgrade that allows us to make hills and "mountains". Also, instead of having a whale-like pinata for the legendary pinata, we could have something like a Plesiosaurus or some other Lochness monster like creature. :D

[ImaTestWentBad]

I would like to be able to raise other stats of a pinata kinda like a VP RPG. With weapons and magic to raise too. I miss my FF7 :p

[reklaw_vahn]

Lol...that would be awesome! I love FF7 too and I have no idea how an RPG would work for VP but it sounds cool.

[MartinMacaraccoon]

A pinata with yellow spikey hair taking on another pinata with long grey hair! Sounds like a start lol.. I agree with the new terrain ideas (Mountain and Underwater) but they would bring problems with room and object placement and costs, having to change terrains between 5 types just to get each would be expensive eventually.

[reklaw_vahn]

Yeah, I thought of that but then again, that is the cost of having more. Also, one wouldn't have to use mountains or seas...so in the end it wouldn't be that different.

[ICouldn'tThinkOfAGoodOne]

Personally, I'd like some way to change the water we already have. As much as i would love an underwater part, i also think it would be equally as good if we had something like different shovel heads to switch between that change the type of water you have. So we could have that brown, murky water if we wanted a swampy garden, or maybe one that makes it more deeper, or another that makes it have a tide that washes up against the mud/bank. There's so many new ideas they could include tbh :D

[reklaw_vahn]

Yeah, that sounds good too. I never thought of having murky water. I could do a lot with that when I am creating special garden designs.

[MartinMacaraccoon]

On the subject of tools, why not some pruning shears and just a large bush which you can shape?

[Spycrab Sam]

On the subject of tools, why not some pruning shears and just a large bush which you can shape?

And maybe a blow torch, CAUSE WE ALL KNOW PINATAS LIKE FIRE!!!
I would love to make a professor pester shaped bush and set it a flame.

[ICouldn'tThinkOfAGoodOne]

And maybe a blow torch, CAUSE WE ALL KNOW PINATAS LIKE FIRE!!!
I would love to make a professor pester shaped bush and set it a flame.

orrr, just burn pester himself! that would be ace, chasing him around the garden with a blowtorch!

and we seriously need some sort of everlasting fertilliser or something similar. cos i hate creating a good garden and then having my flowers dying every few days. cos then you gota replant/fertilise etc. what a drag.

[shrly]

...snip ...

Funny you should say that. Someone I was playing with recently said he'd be willing to pay a million coins a shake for "forever" fertilizer so he could create flower gardens without all upkeep. Does sound like a really good idea, doesn't it?

Not to blow my own trumpet, or your friends. But it's a genious idea. :D
It would make garden creating much easier.

[MartinMacaraccoon]

To be honest I dont really do a 'Show' garden but these ideas are making me want to lol

[xWaRJaRx]

I think they should have another sour pinata...

Like a Sour Gumbull (Gumball/Bull), and when the Gumbull comes to your garden it De-volves your pinatas.

[reklaw_vahn]

Funny you should say that. Someone I was playing with recently said he'd be willing to pay a million coins a shake for "forever" fertilizer so he could create flower gardens without all upkeep. Does sound like a really good idea, doesn't it?

I must say, I absolutely agree with this. I would be very happy to have this addition to the game!!!

[ICouldn'tThinkOfAGoodOne]

I think they should have another sour pinata...

Like a Sour Gumbull (Gumball/Bull), and when the Gumbull comes to your garden it De-volves your pinatas.

I agree, more sours. Not too many though. I would like a sour cheetah (cheet-it, cheeto) and i saw an idea somewhere that said because cheetahs are fast it would burn up your garden, which i thought was a pretty neat sour power.

[ICouldn'tThinkOfAGoodOne]

i'm going to post another idea i have, before i forget it, - even though no-one else has replied, lol.
make the tinker more useful & join items together, i suggest to you... the TINKER CRATE, (or something), with this you buy a special crate from bart, then select the items that can be joined together (e.g sandwich + peanut butter, etc) then get him to tinker them while they are all packed into the crate, and voila, you have a peanut butter sandwich :D

oh and also iceberg decorations that you can put in the water, or on land, in you're arctic themed garden :)

[Spycrab Sam]

Nice one ICTOAGO (Ictoago, lol.). It would be called the "Tinker Cauldron".
Banana + Peanut Butter + Jam = Da Elvis.

[ICouldn'tThinkOfAGoodOne]

Nice one ICTOAGO (Ictoago, lol.). It would be called the "Tinker Cauldron".

both names are better than mine, haha. cauldron would fit perfectly with bart's magic theme.
:cool:

[darkhunterfan101]

yeah like being able to walk up to pinata central and see the sea
and having your avatar be a pinata like

[L3g1t Sn1p3r 06]

My Idea: I think they should make a Viva Pinata that is the pinata's point of view! I also think they should make an animal pack:D (HummingBirds, Giraffes, Jaguars, Anteater, Buffalo, )

[Pieenas areAWESOME!!!]

That would be awesome!!!!I'd be a pieena

[L3g1t Sn1p3r 06]

That would be cool! I'd be a Parrybo:):):)

[stehmer3]

I was just wondering what people would like to see in Viva Pinata 3... If it does come out. But anyway, tell me and everyone else what kind of features you would like to see. New animals, new areas, new objects or plants, or something completely different.

[VioletWhirlwind]

Not sure how many new animals they can get...unless they use some of the fan ideas put forth on this very site. XD

Also, as I've said before...I'd like to be able to explore a little...beyond the garden or the trapping areas...but that's just me...maybe like...have some playable adventures similar to what's in the show? I dunno.

[Ribbedebie]

I'd like to see a garden where you can attract prehistoric creatures, or an underwater garden in which you're able to get aquatic Piñatas. Fish, dolphins, and such.

[AlexSherar]

NO MORE MENUE SCREEN..i just wish i didnt have to go to costolots store everytimeto get something or to go to will the builder. if a macro was made that would be amazing..

[VioletWhirlwind]

I'd like to see a garden where you can attract prehistoric creatures, or an underwater garden in which you're able to get aquatic Piñatas. Fish, dolphins, and such.

While underwater species would be cool...i'm not sure how they would implement it. Right now, the species have to walk (or fly, or slither, or squirm) into the garden...I'm not sure how they would be able to do those that CAN'T leave the water at all, though it would be an interesting thing to challenge the game designers with. XP

Also...I'd like to see peach, plum, and/or cherry trees. XP And that flower that was by the corner of the garden in Classic...that looked kind of like a bachelor button or something.

[Brittany]

I'd like it to be very different. Different pinata's, different ways of getting current pinata's etc etc.

I am enjoying TIP but the big problem is, I put in 100+ hours on regular VP and I am doing a lot of the same things over. Like getting master romancer of all the flutterscotches. I did this already, in exactly the same way in VP and now I must in TIP.

So in VP3 I'd like either not to do it, or to do it in a different way if that makes sense.

Perhaps not a VP3 but instead a different game which is the same concept, but different animals/stars.

[VioletWhirlwind]

Y'know what would be cool? A way to take a more active stand against Pester.

Like...a dueling minigame, where you get to whack him with your shovel (or maybe drop a boulder on him like in the TV show's opening XP ) If you win...he get's scared away for x amount of days...if you lose, he gets to gallavant around in your garden taking what he wants as he does now. But at least it would give a sense that you're actually doing SOMETHING to defeat him.

[AlexSherar]

i think maybe just get rid of professor pester.. i hate that guy

[foolycooly]

Yeah, cherry blossom tree's would be awesome to make a Japanese garden with :D

I saw some fish in the concept art on the game so maybe they was thinking about putting them in the game? Id like to be able to have different types of water, like maybe muddy for a swamp and even iced over water for a winter garden, maybe even lava! :D Also id like to see the dinosaurs return, maybe a T-rex and a velociraptor! :D Elite T-rex as a prize for something or even if you like pre-order the game! :)

[Brittany]

i think maybe just get rid of professor pester.. i hate that guy

Noooo, i love him :)

I think he is great. Yes it is horrible when he smashes things, but it keeps you on your toes ^^

[VioletWhirlwind]

Noooo, i love him :)

I think he is great. Yes it is horrible when he smashes things, but it keeps you on your toes ^^

He's one of those villains you love to hate. I just want to be able to drop a rock on him like they do in the opening. XD That would be awesome. I like to taunt him in the garden that he got stuck outside by breeding wildcards RIGHT in FRONT of him (as soon as I knew he wasn't going to move when I took away the fence that is) XP

[Brittany]

He just smashed the redhott I got to fight the dragonfly :( I'm not liking him so much now hehe.

I never trap him though. I put up with him and pay him off mostly :p I like it when he shouts "victory is mineee!" :p

[Mizizlpix]

I'd love to see an ant eater pinata to be honest. You could need 6 raisants in the garden and then it needs to eat 3 to be a resident or something.

[AlexSherar]

i wanna see a whale pinata... haha everyone try to figure out how to get that into the garden

[VioletWhirlwind]

OOH! I second the anteater idea!

Another thing that might be cool...we have label designers now....What about a way to actually design your gardener character and their mask?

[Daremo 001]

I would to have a more manageable post office on the basis like computer files are arranged. That way I don't have to have multiple accounts for post office purposes.

[Birthday boy]

just for fun mode to stay but still able to get Candary,Pudgeon,Sarsgorilla,Tigermisu, etc.

[Brittany]

- Able to paint houses/buildings
- Able to use several crates at once
- A showpiece garden with no limit to the amount of items/pinata you can put in.
- Instant hunter after getting master romancer
- Bouncer board after getting species resident
- Able to catch underwater pinata at a lake and bring them into your garden
- Able to catch ghost pinata in graveyard and bring them into your garden

[Fudgehog_Fan]

Yes I want more variety in the next game call everything your own! make the houses and pinatas any color you want!
also: Gingeraffe, Raisanteater, Jellyfish?, Coca-Koala, Flamango, Fanta Ray, Mangoroo, various others that I made up

The option to tell Seedos and Leafos to leave the garden so they dont take up space anymore

The ability to have a sour garden so its basically choose your own side good or evil

Pegasus pinata so you can breed it with a chwenicorn and get a pegacorn-pinata-thing

also I want to be able to evolve custaceans into lobster pinatas!

Different breeds of barkbarks (basically making the barkbark a much better flutterscotch)

various other cool things that i cant remember right now but im sure i wrote it down somewhere...

[sourwarrior18]

I would want different pinatas like a giraffe or a kangaroo or maybe a dolphin.

[Fudgehog_Fan]

They HAVE to give the custacean two evoltions one that turns him into a Lobster Pinata and on that turns him into a Hermit Crab Pinata

[Sketchy]

A way they could implement fully water dwelling species is by having a(one or more) "stream" or "lake" that comes up to the edge of a full size garden. You then have to attach your body of water to that stream for those pinatas to be able to come into your garden.

Also, I would like to be able to keep the design of some of the sours... Example: I LOVE the look of the sour Sherbat, but hate the tamed one. If not the body design, then just the markings? Perhaps it could be an unlockable color after taming one of each sour? Or even a type of Wild Card(again, after you've tamed all the sours so there is no mix up)?

*Shrugs* Just an idea.

[VioletWhirlwind]

- Able to use several crates at once

I second this. one crate at a time is...a really silly rule.

[Coacadile123]

I every pinata to have a evolved form. I don't care if there isn't any new ones

[Pieenas areAWESOME!!!]

A dinosaur Garden, a Water, and a Space Garden

[Sketchy]

Rat Pinata (http://pinataisland.info/forum/showthread.php?t=19648) would be my dream =)

More prehistoric pinatas would also be a plus.

[FeralKitty]

Also, I would like to be able to keep the design of some of the sours... Example: I LOVE the look of the sour Sherbat, but hate the tamed one.

Rare added this feature to Trouble in Paradise. If I recall correctly, you can feed Sours happy candy, to mellow them out for a while. They won't become residents, but they won't cause trouble either.

[Sketchy]

I've tried it.. they don't stay. They eat the candy then leave. =\

[VioletWhirlwind]

I've had them fall asleep in my garden after eating a joy candy. XD

[xVivaPiñatax]

Fishes and Piñata relationships with each other.

[Private Whirlm]

more tricks for pinatas :D, less hacked values on the leaderboards so you actually have a chance of being noticed :mad: and a daily/weekly/monthly visit lottery where a rare company player actually visits your garden so you can give more ideas/ play minigames and generally have fun like with other xbox live players.:cool:

[Pieena]

You actually like Pester. You ACTUALLY like pester. I think maybe some kind of adventure. Like perhaps Pester finally cracked and died of a heatstroke and then his really intelligent son took over and made genius plans and mutated all pinatas like a giant Whirlm monster or a fire-breathing Salamango. And then u have to walk over the whole island and restore, fight and tame pinatas. Maybe u get to fight Pester's son in the end and then win. Also, I like the water idea and I would like to see some foreign animals if so, like the Pattypus and the Pearnda. It would be pretty cool to have new evil weapons too. Maybe Pester killed Obama and became US president and used tanks and submarines and jets to bomb ur garden?

Hey guys, I will start a voting ceremony for the new pinata game. Anyone can submit their new ideas, plants, animals or different environments. I have liked the idea of underwater environments and different seasons by some users. The "rattermelon" idea wasn't bad either but I think it might be too close to the mousemallow, oh well..........
For plants, I would like a new system, the vine. For example, the grape, these plants can only be planted so that it curls around something. Maybe there will be pillars on sale and u could plant vines on them. Or other vines like ivy and tomato. Maybe when tinkered, weeds could become plants like the toadstool-mushroom thing. I also want foreign animals like maybe the Peanda(Pear and Panda) or the Coala(Koala and Cola). Or the Pearanha(Pea and Piranha), Pomelossum(Possum and Pomelo) and stuff.

[Pieena]

Very good guys. I expected the thread only to have 1 or 2 responses. Guess not. I like the travelling idea which I had thought of myself, but your own character? I'm not sure.


Well good job anyways.

I really like the vine idea (heck, they have water plants that grow into water already, so why not another plant that grows according to planting it near something it can climb on? )

Also...the more tinkerable weeds thing is a nice idea. Why just one? I'm SURE I saw regular ivy on that wall by the waterfall in the garden in Classic...

I still want pear, peach, and cherry trees. XP

[FeralKitty]

I still want pear, peach, and cherry trees. XP
Cherry trees would be awesome.

[Pieena]

Hey people,
um feral kitty, i thought u only give answers or advice for in-game stuff, not personal thoughts. Oh yeah I like the cherry and peach too XD.
I don't like how u need specific times for trees to be fertilised, and I'm sure the inside of Cherrapin and Newtgat houses are thesame, why can't Rare be more creative? And I've got a two more animals:
Chilipede(Millipede and Chili) and Iguava(Iguana and guava).

From your laughing friend,

[Pieena]

hi again,
I wanted to say something about romance and the baby. okay so maybe the the couple that have mated can have a like relationship even after finishing mating and maybe they could take care of the baby and for the Lickatoad, maybe the baby should be a tadpole and insect babies can be larvae. Mammals aren't supposed to lay eggs but I have no better idea. Or maybe Storkos doesn't deliver the eggs and the female one lays it. I think there should be a difference between male and female, like the male Doenut has horns and the female doesn't.


Just and idea,

Your laughing friend,
Pieena

[Birthday boy]

You actually like Pester. You ACTUALLY like pester. I think maybe some kind of adventure. Like perhaps Pester finally cracked and died of a heatstroke and then his really intelligent son took over and made genius plans and mutated all pinatas like a giant Whirlm monster or a fire-breathing Salamango. And then u have to walk over the whole island and restore, fight and tame pinatas. Maybe u get to fight Pester's son in the end and then win. Also, I like the water idea and I would like to see some foreign animals if so, like the Pattypus and the Pearnda. It would be pretty cool to have new evil weapons too.

Then viva Pinata won't be for kids anymore

[Sketchy]

The "rattermelon" idea wasn't bad either but I think it might be too close to the mousemallow...
...I also want foreign animals like ... Pomelossum(Possum and Pomelo)...

My only issue with your statement is that rats look nothing like mice. Perhaps I only notice the differences because I own rats.. Possums look similar to rats, about as similar as mice to rats. So therefore, mouse=rat=possum; mouse=possum. Which I definitely don't agree with.
Here are some images to help my point:

[Pieena]

Cow? nice name. But u have to admit a possum is more different to a mouse than a rat. Just keep on posting ideas. Can any of u have feedback on the romance and egg thing I posted? Sorry if I offended any of u.

Title says it all pretty much :P To some this may sound rather pointless since the aim of the game is create and run a thriving garden, but as the TV series showed there are some very varied and cool places in the Viva Pinata universe, and one of my only qualms with the original game was the fact that you were stuck in your garden.

I don't mean go out and catch Pinatas here (Pokemon rip off much? lol) but you get my point, to take a bit of a break from all the gardening and maintenance.

What do you guys think>

Heh. I already suggested this earlier in the topic...but yeah. I'd like to be able to explore the island some more.

[Pieena]

It's pretty sad that Viva Pinata only focuses on animals mostly in America, Arctic and for one of the animals, Africa(Roario). Can't they do some pandas or kangaroos or even koala bears?
I don't like having so many Flutterscotch species, and Mothdrops are too close to them.

I also think that the Pollolybear is too close to the Fizzlybear.

Just an opinion,

heh...I wouldn't be too sure of that. Fudgehogs (hedgehogs) are from europe (and/or Asia and Africa). Tigermisu (however that's spelled) = Asia Pieena = Africa too. Hoghurt = europe or africa (depending on whether they based it off of wild boar or warthog). The domestics pinatas could be from anywhere that there's domestic animals, ie, worldwide.

Though I do think they need some Aussie animals *cough*Thylacine*cough*

[Ohiosamtron]

Hello,

Should there be a new viva pinata ? I think YEEEEEEEES but what should they do more they almost did every thing ! Im gonna look how many animals they could do. Look´em now up ! :twisted:

[Ohiosamtron]

Ok i have some animals and ideas xD. A crain, Flamingo , Jaguar, Puma???, Kangoroo ,Chinchilla( i dont know how you call it in english!),Seadog,Kiwi ,Donkey xD

IDEAS !!!!: Under water viva pinata???.Viva Pinata Dark Ocean ?? Sour Pinata Dolphin ;DD ,Boxer Crab ,Chinchilla, DONKEY ^_^ ,My fave a moray ^^ .

Yea my ideas are crapy i know i know I hope rare has better ideas xD

[asryakino]

I know I didn't read through far enough, but since this kind of relates to TIP and sequels of Viva Pinata, I thought it might be nice to have a thread not about problems with the game, but maybe full of wishful thinking.
So I'll start.
If I got to see more animals/plants/features added to Viva Pinata, I'd like to see;
New Pinatas-
Llama
Kangaroos
Tarantulas (evolution of Aroknid)
Grasshoppers (rival of Raisants?)
Platypus (bred from a Quackberry and a Sweetooth)
Giraffe (evolved from Llamas)
Goat
Ram (evolved from goat)
Pegasus (breeding Horstachios with pegasus wings on?)
Cockroach
Seagull
Pelican (evolved from Seagull)
Hawk (Evolved from Buzzange)
Jay bird
Cocktrice/Basilisk (Hatched from a Lackatoad egg hatched by a Cluckles)
Slug (Evolved from Shellybean)
Hamster (bred from a Mousemellow and a Lemmoning)
Pandas
*Sharks (evolved from goldfish)
*Starfish
*Goldfish
*Nessies
*Seahorse
*Seadragon (evolved from seahorse)
*Dolphin
*Whale (evolved from dolphin)
*Jellyfish


New Plants-
Bamboo
Rasberry Bush
Eggplant
Strawberry plants
Grape vines
Coffee bushes
*Seaweed
*Coral

New Area/Terrain-
ocean (Has specific pinata and plants marked by *)



Like I said I know it's wishful (and wistful) thinking, but I'd love to see even some of these if they ever did DLC for TIP or even made a new game :D It's goofy, but I kind of wanted to share my wishes with people.
Got any to add?

[asryakino]

Oh wow, I dunno how I missed it. Thanks for the move Mods :D

[asryakino]

More crate space, as in being able to pack more than four pinata into a crate. Seven would be ideal. and packing five candies to one crate is -really- silly. It isn't like candy takes up that much space.
So yeah, a reordering of the crate system would be really nice. Being able to sort our crates into traps, pinata and produce/decorations would be INCREDIBLY helpful.


Also, making the Jeli's a little less annoying. Them crying constantly is really kind of mean.

More variation in the variant. Some of the variants aren't very impressive. Mothdrop variations are great, Barkbark... not so much.
More colours would be nice too, so we don't have to hack the game to get other colours. But mostly just accenting the patterns instead of just putting a colour wash on them would be great.

I LOVE the desert and artic versions! I'd love seeing more of them, and even more region specific pinata. But less pinata that have "any bait will do"... I've released a lot of useless pinata and whacked them with shovels for taking bait meant for other pinata.

When checking the information of a pinata outside of my garden, I'd really like to see the "visit" information. Instead of resident. It's frustrating to have everything in the garden a pinata needs to become a resident, but it refuses to cross the threshold because I'm missing some item for the visit requirement. Which means I have to go into the encyclopedia to find out what I need.
Outside the garden non-residents y= visit requirements
inside the garden non-residents y= resident requirements
Rarios and cinnamonkeys were the worst about this.

Fixing the blue loathers!
I shouldn't be chased over half the map by a single over-exerbuent blue loather. The mazes are tricky enough with every one being different, and ever pinata moving differently that the loathers being just a little too excited and chasing you through tight spaces or worse hitting you and taking you down for a full five seconds is -really- -really- frustrating. I've been close to throwing the controller because of those cursed blue loathers because they'll hit me right as I'm about to run out of time or they'll chase me until I have nowhere to run to.
The orange ones aren't AS bad, but there are some pinata that you can't GO any slower with... trying to creep over the orange loathers takes more time than necessary and putting hearts in a place only accessible by going past them is not exactly right.

The blasted pop-up in the romancing game, get rid of it please. It seriously gets in the way. You get that last token, that dumb pop-up comes up and suddenly you can't see the blue loather you just accidentally activated and it's not chasing you across half the map....
So please please get rid of that pop-up. It's a real hassle and nuisance.

The alternate camera doesn't help as much as it should, because of the trees and things along the sides of the mini-game. It's a great idea, but the view being blocked by side debris isn't helpful and makes the camera more of a hindrance than a helpful tool.

It would also be really nice if the creatures I penned would stay penned and the helpers wouldn't constantly leave the gates open. Seedos and Leafos constantly opening the pens up and then leaving the gates open for the pinata to get out gets annoying when you end up with constant fighting between rival species, or just as annoying, things running in terror of some other species and lowering their happiness. This is where actually being able to pick up pinata and putting them back would be -really- useful. But at least don't make it so the 'helpers' do the opposite of what they're supposed to do.

Speaking of helpers...
gatherlings not gathering. Sprinklings not watering all of the plants... watcherlings no doing their blasted job without my directing them.... they should be useful. They're supposed to be there to help us not to give us one more thing to direct and have take up space in the garden. The weedling is one of the most determental when she doesn't do her blasted job. The weeds take over the whole garden in the time it takes her to get her paper-covered bum back into the garden to kill off -some- of the weeds. Leaving the rest to us... as if we didn't have enough to deal with with Ruffians, sours and worst of Professor Pester.

Speaking of Pester. What is the blasted point of him?! The sours offer a challenge enough most of the time. But adding the ruffians in is just another chore. At least sours can be useful when they're tamed. But the Ruffians.... really? Either make it so we could smash their heads in with the shovel, or at least chase them off. Havign to clean up constantly after them is one level of the game that I could seriously do without.
And Pester. Honestly. Who's idea was it to put an undefeatable, uncontrollable monster in a game? Then who's brill idea was it to then have this monster path to your most valuable pinata? Huh? Seriously? At least in the first game we could keep him at bay with the cutlass. Now he breaks it, and we're at the mercy of him AND the ruffians. And if you DO glitch pester to the outside of the garden, if you don't remember the cutlass the ruffians break the fence and pester breaks your best pinata.
Who decided on this?! Really! Get rid of him. Or make him defeatable. Give us an inch on this. He's useless, and serves absolutely NO purpose in the game. If you keep the ruffians, at the very least get rid of pester. He does absolutely NOTHING to enhance the game. Nothing whatsoever.

Also... smoothing the edge of the grass would be nice. When putting grass next to anything you get a stark line that doesn't blend at all. The snow and sand blend a bit.

[VioletWhirlwind]

Really good Idea. Also, I'd like to be able to at least have one new crate and one recieved crate in the garden at the same time again like it was in Classic. Why did they get rid of that ability?

When checking the information of a pinata outside of my garden, I'd really like to see the "visit" information. Instead of resident. It's frustrating to have everything in the garden a pinata needs to become a resident, but it refuses to cross the threshold because I'm missing some item for the visit requirement.

YES. Definitely second this.

Also... smoothing the edge of the grass would be nice. When putting grass next to anything you get a stark line that doesn't blend at all. The snow and sand blend a bit.

Second this as well. The garden starts out with these patches of sort of...half-size grass...and I like them. Makes it look more natural. But then the sours sneak in and take my grass, and when I put more in, it never lets me put the half-grass back in. :/

[BIGsheep]

I can at least shed a little light on some of the technical decision for the crates here, being an area I know particularly well.

Firstly, the number of things you can pack into a crate. This shrunk in TIP because the pinatas became more complex under the hood and so we basically had more data to pack into one crate. We also had a requirement that all the data had to fit into less than 1k of data so that it could be sent across in a single Live message so that both the servers for trading and online co-op could operate off the same data without need for splitting, sending and then fixing it back up.

As for the sweets only being able to pack a small number in, I can only guess that our default of 5 for everything from the first game stuck and wasn't twiddled for the second :)

And as for the multiple crates in one garden, this was sadly a hangover from the first game. Basically, do you see the tag on the side of the crate? Yes? That's your gardener tag. Well, the way the model of the crate is marked up means that it is referencing your tag, i.e. it doesn't actually have it printed on there, it goes off gets a copy of your tag and slaps it on there.

When we had multiple players in the garden and multiple tags and multiple crates things went, how shall we say, wrong. The crates got confused as to what they were supposed to be looking up so we had to reduce it back to a single crate so only a single tag was looked up, alieving the confusion caused.

Don't take these as excuses or justifications, more a "this is how it came about". A little behind the scenes, as it were. :)

[asryakino]

*salutes*
Gotcha.
I shall just imagine the candies are really really big in the crates. *nods sagely*
I can still hope some of it can be changed up later on. :)

[Micadora]

I want a Hamster- pinata in the game :D
Eks, Hammitarou:cool:

[Micadora]

and a rat- pinata
Maybe named Ratatoes

[Micadora]

panter-pinata
Pantare

[Micadora]

Chewnicorns whit wings,(no accresories)

[Micadora]

Hollow-mask accresories had been fun

[Micadora]

And cat-ears:P

[LouWitch666]

How about being able to put music you have on your console into the game!

You can listen to music while playing the game, if thats what you mean..

[LouWitch666]

Well, me and my two friends, Harry and Nathan, we all play Viva Pinata, but we thought...
What if we made up some Piñatas?
Nathan thought we could make a sea version, like 'Sour Sharkocoa' for Sour Shark (Cocoa) and 'Peartle' for Turtle (Pear)

For some of the Piñatas like the Peartle and Pengum, there could be land areas like sand or snow, then the rest of the garden deep water.

There could be plants like seaweed, items like mossy rocks and packets to change the underwater surface (Rock, sand, grassy, etc...)

Before we started to draw some of our ideas, we thought, what about an option of a normal garden, and an underwater garden? This was because I thought of some land Piñatas, the Facheetah for Cheetah, (Fahita, or however you spell that curry thing) - the Keewi (I didnt know how to put this one) for a Kiwi, (Kiwi fruit) and Giroffie for Giraffe (Banoffie pie)

It would be nice to see new Piñatas and sours to tame.

[Micadora]

Water- pinatas like fishes could have a own garden, paralelt to each garden
Or flying fishes
2m choco
goldfishes from petula
Dragons whit fishtail and prettyer wings

[Micadora]

The Dragonaches should have more and cooler colors like pink,dark blue, silver, purple, black, and rainbow, red and white colours

[Micadora]

Humming birds-Humburgen

[Micadora]

id like to get Siamesiantwins(like wildcards).

[asryakino]

Dude, you do know you can actually just edit your last post instead of posting three or four words in a post and filling two and three pages with them, right?
The ideas aren't bad, but please please condense your thoughts a bit. If you want to make a list like this, make it in notepad then copy/paste it when you think you're done with it.

[Hosscat]

I would like more ways to care for our pinatas, having to feed them to raise their candiosity is great, and while it might seem weird I wouldnt mind having to clean up little candy messes XD (Been playing too much zoo tycoon).

If possible the gardens do need to be bigger, the current size works fine for the regular to small pinatas, but feels really cramped with only one or two large pinatas like the limeocerous and their gigantic houses.

Small side idea, plant variants. Plants such as tulips, roses etc have more than one color they come in. Maybe have a way to discover these new colors?

[Micadora]

Id like the romance-game like it was in classic:P. i cant get pinatas to romance anymore
Please add more seeds and mamals to the game PLEEEASE?

__________________________
Hosscat, u wach wolfs rain, right :D . I LOVE WOLFS >_<
id like the cloclodus in ewery garden, whitout to hack it

[deoxys45]

i hope they make anoter viva pinata

and why dont they show the seires on tv any more

[BIGsheep]

Well we definitely took onboard everything that the community said between Classic and Trouble in Paradise so you can be assured that we're taking everything in our of this thread and indeed these forums.

[Dr@lexandra99]

Rare are the best! This game is too strong!
I love it, even if I did not understand the goal of the game ... I especially love how you made ​​the Pretztail and Dragonache, and that I have 7 of it ...
;) :D

[Go Viva pinata]

The next viva pinata could be called "pinata island travels" (PIT), because you meet all the different types of terrains in the island, dessert desert, pinartic, microcave and pinata channel.

You could make a proper bridge, that goes OVER a river (mentioned later)
so salt water creatures go under the bridge and ground creatures go over the bridge.

Bigger gardens, yep bigger gardens. The size of the garden is perfect for a family of mousemallows and bunnycombs, but the size of the garden is like a raisant for an adult chocolodocus and an adult dragonache put together. have you seen how many comments wants a bigger garden.

There is also, in Tip, a couple of blue flowers that are 2-D and dont exist in front of a wooden bridge in the corner where the forest is, those floers look cool and would be awsome if they included.

The Ocean should be called the Pinata channel (english channel).Also fishes can be like flutterscothes, they start white and you feed them things to change colour. And all sea creatures could go on land, but not swimming on it, crawling on it.

Also you can add a griffin, (when a eaglair and a roreo mate)that can be called gruffin (griffin-muffin).
And when a quackberry and sweetooth mate, they make a platypie (platypus-pie). If you want to see what a platypie could look like, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=cFkRaYbP5AY&NR=1 and skip until 4:27
And a pegasus (which is made from a chewnicorn and a buzzenge) that is called a popasus (pegasus-popcorn)
For crossbreeding maybe willy gets a new special biulding, a breeding cave.

Also for a cave that everyone is talking about, the should put underground pinatas (whirlms, profitamoles, etc.) and call the cave microcave (microwave):mrgreen:.

They can also add a new pack called hieght pack, make a large mountain or a vally, that adds new mountain flowers, and a cute goat (which probably can be evolved by a goomba). when a valley is placed beside water, it creates a river.

Also a salt pack:confused:, when salt is put in water, the water is turned greenish so you can have water pinatas and water plants. when put on land, a puddle is made, and you can plant water plants in these puddles.

And i know a couple of pinatas that can be improved when they are a baby. e.g a roarios baby should have no mane, a licatoad or lackatoad's baby should be a little tadpole (lackatadpoles should be purple as lickatadpoles should be green), a cluckles baby should be yellow, etc.

Ruffians, as you probably know, is a red masked thing with no purpose but destroy your garden. That is why i thought that the ruffians can be tamed:confused:. When you tame a ruffian it turns into a worker and then that worker is unlocked. The tame requirements depend on who the worker is (if it is sprinkling, you need a specific number of flowers to tame it, if it is a diggerling, you might need a profitamole or something etc.)

Speaking of workers, they are very slow, and only work for a couple of minutes. A worker should work until everything of its job is done, its frustrating when a weedling takes away about 5 weeds and leaves 13 for you. More workers could be made, for example a dirtling, a dirtling has a shovel on top of its head to destroy dirt that diggerlings leave from the mine, a healing heals a sick pinata for a fee and ultraling, an ultraling has every single thing for every single job, but it is really, really expensive.

Now a couple of pinatas i want in the game (some might not have a name):

Evolutions:

Pheonixinnamon (pheonix-cinnamon), evolved from a candary getting to close to volcano leaking lava (mentioned in decorative section) and setting on fire, then watering it (like a taffly, except its a candary and volcano)
Licorat (rat-licorice), evolved from a mousmallow eating seaweed (mentioned later).
Sweet tooth tigermisu (Saber tooth tiger-sweet, tiramisu), evolved from a tigermisu eating a pre-flower (mentioned later)
Mammothanilla (mammoth-vanilla), evolved from a elephanilla eating a pre-fruit (mentioned later)
Sweet tooth squazzil (saber tooth squirrel-sweet, swizzle stick), evolved from a squazzil eating a pre-vegetable (mentioned later)


Short grass pinatas:

Canda (panda-candy)
Mintipede (centipede-mint,this is a sour pinata)

Long grass pinatas:

Crickmint (cricket-mint)

Desert pinata:

Cornbra (cobra-corn)

Water pinatas:

White fishberry (fish-strawberry)
Pistarchio (starfish-pistachio)
Cockwhale (whale-cocktail)
Sharkie (shark-smartie, this is a sour pinata), if you want to see what a sharkie could look like, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=cFkRaYbP5AY&NR=1 and skip it until 4:53
Octofee (octopus-toffee or coffee i don't know)
Jellymel (jellyfish-caramel)

Bird pinata:

Tacon (toucan-taco)
Flamango (flamingo-mango, this is a sour pinata)

Soil pinatas

chocoroach (cockroach-chocolate)
termint (termite-mint)

Now for plants:

Flower:
Bamboo
Seaweed (planted in salt water)
Coral (planted in salt water)
Different coloured roses (yellow, blue, black etc.)
Pre-flower, flowerhead looks like a orange octagon

Bushes and trees:

Strawberry bush (when tinkered turns into strawberry shake)
Rasberry bush
Grape bush (when tinkered turns into wine)
cocoa bean tree (when tinkerd turns into hot chocolate or chocolate shake)
Chewing gum tree
pre-tree a pre-historical tree that gives you a pre-fruit (a diamond shaped fruit in orange)

Vegetables:

Potato
Tomato
Cabbage
Pre-vegetable (grows like a yam but looks like a orange triangle)

Produce:

Egg (willy could get a specail building that lets the cluckles lay an egg), when tinkered turned into english breakfast.
Cheese (I know it is already in the game, but it costs alot of time and coins to get a cheesecake)

Decorative things;

Fences and Gates:
wired gate
picked gate (the white fence)
dirt fence and gate (you can probably change the terrain of the dirt)
metal fence and gate

Garden items:
Volcano that is leaking lava
waterfall
couple of different shaped rocks
a poisonous lake with a tipped over toxic can beside
toilet

Achievements:

Ice age director (50g): evolve a tigermisu, elephanilla and squazzil

Reply if you have more ideas

And i hope bigsheep can see this and like it :o

[Go Viva pinata]

so you can be assured that we're taking everything in our of this thread and indeed these forums.

Does this mean he might add our ideas in the next viva pinata

[VioletWhirlwind]

What I'd like to see most as far as garden items is a bridge...that actually goes OVER the water. (I can kind of make bridges right now...but they're kind of just illusion...as they're actually still on dirt) The intro to Classic (briefly) shows Leafos by an actual bridge...that's what I want to be able to put in the garden.

I have a whole list somewhere of potential new pinatas...I may or may not have already mentioned them, but here it is again (some have probably already been suggested...but then this is MY version...and the list is kinda old):

unipegapopcorn (name is awkward and too long, but whatever; maybe shorten it to pegapopcorn): winged chewnicorn, acquired by breeding a chewnicorn with some type of bird (unipeg + popcorn; alternately pegacorn + popcorn)

pitasus: pegasus, again, acquired by breeding a horstacio with a bird (pita + pegasus)

Sasphare: sasparilla + hare; possible bunnycomb desert evolution (I realize there's already a bunnycomb in the arctic)

Springpear: spring hare (not the same as a regular hare, btw) + pear

Havalinacado: havalina (small wild desert pig) + avacado (this one is...meh. But it's part of the list, so...)

Hysnax (or Pierax): rock hyrax + snacks (or pie)

Aardbark: aardvark + bark-candy

Gyrophon: Gyro + gryphon

Cerberryus (or Sherberus): berry (or sherbert) + cerberus (mythical three-headed barkbark)

Loricecream: slow loris + ice cream (the word 'rice' is also in the name, for what that's worth)

Baklavotter: baklava + otter (my current favorite idea)

Basaltine (or caketrice): basilisk + saltine (or cake + cockatrice) (has sour version- turns residents to stone, which then breaks, killing them...tame version turns other sours to stone, breaking them without them leaving behind weed seeds)

Salsadder: salsa + adder (looks like a cobra) (has sour version- poisons residents...tame one poisons ruffians, doesn't kill the ruffian, but scares them away)

Marmint: marmot (rodent kind of like a groundhog) + mint

Phoenixinnamon: pheonix + cinnamon (get one of the bird-types to fly through the firebrand)

Bigcorn (name needs work): bighorn sheep + corn, possible evolution of goobaa (I haven't gotten the wildcards of the goobaa yet...this one might be redundant, i don't know)

Gerberry: gerbil + berry

Babyrollo: babyrusa (type of wild pig) + rollo

Lyjay: blue jay + lychee nut

Appllama: llama + apple, possible evolution of the camello

Kincakeju: cake + kinkaju (sp?)

Cornet: hornet + corn (has sour version- it splits temporarily into a group of four (three are illusion), which sting and scare residents, making them sad...tame one also splits temporarily into four (three are illusion) that scare and distract ruffians for a short while)

----

different breeds of barkbark...for possible DLC or expansion pack?

colliecuke: collie + cucumber

Snickerpoodle: snickerdoodle + poodle

(of coarse...if they were DLC, there'd be no way for me to get them - ironically - as I can't connect to the internet through my 360)

Anything that suggests "bamboo" and therefore might lead to a panda pinata definitely will get my consideration.

I had a crazy dream about somehow getting a glowing mushroom (NOT the toadstool...and NOT the tinkered mushroom...a different mushroom that you can plant(red/dark pink and white/lt. pink spots)) that you tap with the shovel several times to make it start floating...then call Bart to tinker it into [I forget what] something...which will make a new type of elephanilla show up (lt. pink with dk. pink spots)...only...she's like...a quest giver or something that stays along the borders of the garden and gives you stuff/money/candy when you click on her while holding various asked-for food items.

*shrug*

My dreams are weird.

However, it got me thinking...that maybe they could add in the various TV-show pinata characters in-game for various reasons. (heck...Langston's already there.) So...this elephanilla-quest-giver from my dream could be replaced by Ella...who has forgotten a food item and needs you to give her one for a reward of some sort...possibly unlocking a special item in the shop after you help her enough or something.

Also...the others could show up for various reasons...if nothing more than to show Langston chasing Paulie and Fergy around periodically...and Langston could possibly briefly not be available in his trap-selling shop or the challenges menu while doing so. This would be an adjustable option in the options menu...you could set it to be more or less frequent depending on your gameplay preferences.

I dunno. I just figure it might be a cute way to tie-in the show with the game. *shrug*

Who loves pengums and vulchurros but hate paying 500CC just to get a freaking chilli?

I thought that when you get something that is used as bait, (sunflower seed, holly berry, chilli etc.) you have an option to place it in your bait bag. So the next time you go to your bait bag, it says "You have (number) of the selected items, do you want to use it) instead of paying 500CC for a chilli

I think Viva Pinata TIP is also best than the Classic because you can do many thing, seemed like tricks to learn for your Pinatas, mini-games (like the race and the parade with vote) and more Pinatas like the Tigermisù and other...
And you can capture types of Pinata in the Dessert Desert and in the Pinartic (that's so cool). :D
I'd like to see if the Rare create a Viva Piata 3 or any game with the Pinata, because that's so cool game! But, I have an question and this is "Why you can only have 1 Amber Gem and can't retry to gei it?" Many video on YouTube rapresent many gardenes who's have most of 1 Choclodocus...
So... I do not want spoil the argument with this expressions, my vote for this game is FIVE BRILLIANT STARS!! :D
I LOVE TIP! :mrgreen:

Okay i dont know what that meant but thx i love this game alot

Do you no how to post ideas to rare, just give me a website and i would appreciat it thx

Oh and by the way, it isnt hard to master romance those 2 because 1 is vegetarian and the other eats it :eek::twisted::(

[shrly]

Posting here with new ideas is useful since at least one Rare employee reads the forum pretty regularly. I don't know, overall, though, how useful it is because it seems pretty unlikely that Rare will make another Viva Pinata. Unfortunately the game wasn't the financial success that would encourage Microsoft, who now own Rare, to create a new game.

Those of us who love the game, though, can keep on enjoying what we have.

Oh sorry, i thought the people who pretty much want to know should know, still sorry.

Oh and BTW only 2 pinatas are confirmed to be in the game (3 pinatas but):

Platypus
Sour shark and normal shark

Alice, i cant prove it alot, but if you watch this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFkRaYbP5AY

you should see a picture of :

Platypus
Sour and normal shark
a couple of space decor

Now then who would put new stuff and not add it to a new game?

Also if you look here : http://www.chacha.com/question/when-does-viva-pinata-3-come-out-on-xbox-360, Justin Cook says there isnt going to be a new game for a couple of years. Now is 4years sooooooooooooooooooooooo....... it should be sooner than you think

Thats all i Got

[Storkos]

Now then who would put new stuff and not add it to a new game?


That's concept art. Lots of times they consider adding stuff but can't due to time constraints or not knowing how exactly to execute it. It probably received the axe do to the former.

As much as I do want there to be a new VP, it's not looking very likely at the moment. I have a feeling RARE would be mentioning VP from time to time if they were working on a new one, but they haven't been tweeting about it at all. *shrug*

[BIGsheep]

Guess what..........................................

One of my Friends are a rare producer...Do they have a name?

[TwilitProphet]

I have an idea for a Pinata... and a new type of flower to go with it! I based the information like prices on what we have listed on Pinatas and plants of similar levels at the wiki. I know it's kind of pointless since the series looks like it's dead now, but I'd at least like to share my idea with everyone here!

First, I'll explain the flower:

Frangipani Bush Wikipedia Link for images (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frangipani)
Produces: Frangipani Flowers
Level: 7
Base Value: 280
Fertilizer: Red
Seed Price: 154
Frangipani Flower Price: 280

Surface Terrain Requirements: Bush needs to be planted in grass or soil.
How best to grow it: Same as any other bush, with Red fertilizer

(Rest of the information is redundant as the uses I have for it will be listed below)

Mintis
A large, white-bodied mantis with varying stripes and markings of purples and pinks (think the orchid mantis! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchid_mantis))
Animal: Mantis
'Candy': Mint
Attack: Crescent Moons (unless sickles aren't too violent?)
Level: 9
Base Value: 4500
House: The Mintis house is a beautiful work of floral architecture. Imagine, a cathedral made from the petals of a giant flower!
House Cost: 2475

Appear Requirements: Level 40+ Gardener
Visit Requirements: Have 6 flutterscotch in the garden (any color will do, you just need 6 of any one type), Have 4 Orchids in the garden
Resident Requirements: Has eaten 4 flutterscotches, Have 6 Orchids in the garden, Have 4 Pinometers of long grass
Romance Requirements: Has eaten 3 Mothdrops, Have a Frangipani bush in the garden, Have a Mintis house in the garden
Trick Requirements: Feed it a raisant to have it perform trick 1.
Feed it a Frangipani flower to have it perform trick 2.

Species Variants: Feeding it a banana will turn it a creamy yellow+orange.
Feeding it a gooseberry will turn it green.
Feeding it a reddhott will turn it red.

Wildcard Versions: Curled Antenna, Large arm sickles, more ornately styled 'butt' (for lack of a better term xD)

Species Conflicts: Will fight with Sherbats and Arocknids

Happiness Tips: Love: Tafflies, flutterscotches, mothdrops, buzzlegums
Like: Bispotti, Raisants, Sweetles, Bananas
Dislikes: Flowers

Whew. Glad I got that out of my system. I've been dying to share that with others!

[Beardiesrock]

I wish there was a new pinata called a peachix (pheonix) that you got by breeding a swanana and a salamango. and HOW do you put the little face thingies in your post i just joined

[shrly]

When you don't use "quick reply" a number of emoticons are offered. However, you can create some yourself. For example, if you type : immediately followed by a ), you'll get :). If you follow it with a (, you'll get :( .

[Beardiesrock]

Thx I just figured out how :D

[GeckiesRule]

i would just love fish pinatas!

[Go Viva pinata]

First, I'll explain the flower:

Frangipani Bush

Fertilizer: Red??????????????1.

How best to grow it: Same as any other bush, with Red fertilizer?????2.

Mintis

Attack: Crescent Moons???????????????3.

Species Variants:
Feeding it a reddhott will turn it red.???????????????4.

Dislikes: Flowers????????????????5.

1.I looked at the wiki image of the bush and it looks more white and yellow then red, so the fertillizer should be yellow (or white if it is made)

2.When it says How to Best grow it, it means when and where you should use the fertillizer, not what fertillizer you need

3.If the house is a church and it is a PRAYING mantis, dont you think its attack should be crucificses (i think thats how you spell)

4.Ok, this one might not be wrong, but i havent seen 1 pinata with a variant of another pinata

5.(2 things for this one)i dont think mantises dislike EVERY single flower, bringing me to the 2nd error, you said for a mantis to be resident you need 4 orchids in the garden, so why would a mantis visit an orchid if it doesnt like it.

SORRY SO MUCH about doing this, I only did it so you dont make these accidental errors again.:(

By the way i love the idea for the bush and mantis. I SWEAR
