viva pinata is a gardening/pet game for kids made in 2006, it was developed by rare. it was originally only played on the xbox 360 but the newer game called rare replay made it available for the xbox one. you start as an amateur gardener and have a small plot of land handed to you by jardiniero and his children are there to help you tend to your garden, mostly leafos though. seedos also swings by to give you seeds sometimes and storkos is the one who delivers your eggs. that leads us in the breeding part of viva pinata, it is an essential part of the game and will happen when you get pinatas to become your resident of the garden. you must meet the requirements for both things to happen. sometimes you need a pinata in order for another pinata to become a resident! the requirements can be hard to achieve though with some pinatas, making some easier to get than others. overall you can do many things with your garden like plant things like trees, dig ponds, and decorate! there is a village you can go to in the menu that has many people who will aid you on your journey to becoming a master gardener, one of them is lottie who owns a standard shop that you will buy most of your items from, from seeds to decor to upgrades. she is a very crucial part to the game! next up is willy, he builds houses for your pinatas to stay in. then there is bart, he will turn an item into something new if you pay him, but beware, his tricks dont always work. miss petula will dress up your pinatas if you pay her! and ivor functions as a later stage shop just like lottie but instead he sells rare things! gretchen will catch pinatas for you if you pay her. doc as you guessed it will heal your pinatas when they are sick. arfur employs helpers to well help around your garden, like watering plants, keeping watch of sours and digging up things in your garden! fanny will store and transfer your items at your wish. now onto sours, in viva pinata there is bad guys called ruffians and their master is professer pester. professer pester creates evil pinata (called sours) who will cause chaos to your garden and your pinatas, but there is a way to tame each sour and keep them from your garden. but sometimes the ruffians and professer pester themselves will enter your garden to cause chaos, you can get rid of them by paying them though!
