I'll bet nobody's ever asked this before, but which Pinata Species is your favorite? I like Macaraccoon, Pretztail and Fizzlybear. -MiaRe123

I'm thinking about adding an eagle species, but since there was some that thought that it was a seagull should I wait?

I haven't gotten a chance to watch that video yet, so I don't really have an opinion on which one it is yet... Maybe add it to the [[Unknown]] page for now?  --[[User:Jimmcq|Jimmcq]] 18:23, 23 September 2006 (EDT)

We should add pictures and descriptions of the Wild-card to it's species page as we find them. Either under the “Species variants” heading or make a new Wild-card heading.

I don't think that I should be the one who is in progress of writing the pinata bios.  It's not that I don't won't to but I want others to feel welcomed to contribute.  It's not like the episode things where only I should write those because the story is the same and they should all follow one writing style. People may find or have different impressions of each pinata.

Also regarding the "type" subcategories as they are now, I think it's best to just simply continue to use one subcategory for a type (e.g. aquatic), instead of a more complex hierarchy, even if it contains species that aren't in, say, Classic.  I think when the visitor sees the (new layout for the) species article, it will be obvious which games a species may/may not be found in.  --[[User:FeralKitty|FeralKitty]] 20:40, 19 May 2008 (EDT)

Regarding variants, a grammatically correct sentence would be an improvement.  Currently, using "...changes its color to a ''color'' ''species''" is saying that you're changing the color to a color that is named after the species.  Writing "''Doing this'' changes it to ''this color or pattern'' would make more sense; alternatively, "''Doing this'' changes the ''species'' to ''this color or pattern''.  --Photon Turtle

FYI, [[User:Misral93|Misral93]] wasn't responsible for the grammar, and was just using what we'd been consistently entering.  This suggestion is better off on the [[:Category talk:Species]] discussion page, and I'm moving it.

Would "Feeding it a turnip changes its color to purple" be a specific example of what you would prefer it to say?  --[[User:FeralKitty|FeralKitty]] 00:27, 12 November 2006 (EST)

I think that example works well.  The content is all great so far, it would be a shame to see it marred by poor writing.  Since this is the premier Viva Pinata information site on the Interet at the moment (and I can't imagine that changing), contributors should remember that people with varying English comprehension skills will use it to help them accomplish their in-game goals.  This doesn't mean that articles should be written in very basic English, rather they should be written in such a way as to limit mis-interpretation.  --PhotonTurtle

The number 68 came from one of the interviews with Viva Pinata designer Gregg Mayles... but pretty much everything else has stuck to 60+.
 
−
 
 
−
So, how many species are there in total?  Does the 68 include the 60 we currently have listed plus the 8 sour species?  Or are they including the 8 color variants of the White Flutterscotch (since they have different species names)?  Or something else entirely?

Do you think there more than the 60 we know about?

  • Fill in missing Infobox data for each species, as discovered
  • Make corrections for Variant (species colors?), Evolve, and Rarity
  • Add a couple paragraphs (linked) text on Category page, touching on general species concepts like:
    • a pinata's value, how it can increase by wearing accessories
    • trading and selling pinatas
    • species development; creating new species

Wild-cards

We should add pictures and descriptions of the Wild-card to it's species page as we find them. Either under the “Species variants” heading or make a new Wild-card heading.


New type sub-category names

We should have sub-categories for desert and arctic species. Are those names good enough, or are there other terms that should be used?

Also regarding the "type" subcategories as they are now, I think it's best to just simply continue to use one subcategory for a type (e.g. aquatic), instead of a more complex hierarchy, even if it contains species that aren't in, say, Classic. I think when the visitor sees the (new layout for the) species article, it will be obvious which games a species may/may not be found in. --FeralKitty 20:40, 19 May 2008 (EDT)
