Viva Pinata!!!

Viva Pinata is a series I highly recommend for anyone who loves either gardening, or just want to party!!!



         
 A Dragonache                 A Mallowolf Pinata
Pinata (red)

Viva Pinata is about...well... pinatas. Also, there's a TV show that has some gameplay notes (EXAMPLE: in the episode Chewincorn in the garden, The episode is where Paulie, Fergy, and Franklin try to attract a Chewincorn with a Gem Tree A complete reference that Chewincorns will come to your garden if there's a Gem Tree.)


There are some dudes that either help you or ruin things for your garden. Here's a list.
  • Professor Pester - His real name is Lester, but after being called a personal pest by the locals, he took "Pester" as his real name. He cause trouble by deploying Ruffians to do stuff like trash your garden. But there is good news. When he does this, it means your garden has a valuable pinata.
  • Dastardos - a very creepy guy. He looks a bit like a ZOMBIE!!! And one thing I know about ZOMBIES, it's that they are not very bright. But anyway, Dastardos is rumored to be Leafos' long lost brother. He will smash any sick pinatas he finds.
  • Leafos - Leafos is like a sidekick. She tells you interesting things. However if it has to do with a pinata turning into another pinata, most of it is false rumors.
  • Jardinero - an old gardener. He is stuck in a wheel chair because of a severe injury during a shipwreck. His wife died during the same shipwreck. But the way I see it, he sealed his own fate because his wife would've been alive in the game if it wasn't for his quest for the legendary Dragonache pinata. Speaking of sealing fates, one of my battle quotes when I'm playing a video game is "<whatever the opponent's name is>, you just SEALED YOUR FATE!!!". But anyway, Jardinero will give you a title and a shovel upgrade from time to time.
  • Seedos - a dorky looking fellow. He will throw seeds (which you can use to grow plants) if poked several times. But hitting him causes him to plant seeds which grow Venus Pinata Traps and weeds.
  • Willy Builder - These guys build the houses for your Pinatas. Helpful tip, Building a house is one of the requirements to have a Pinata mate.
  • Sours - the Sours are red and black versions of six pinatas.
  • Storkos - apparently Pinatas don't give birth to other pinatas. Why? Because this girl named Storkos brings a Pinata egg after it's parents mated. Or they could've laid a egg and had Storkos take care of it for a while and then when the egg is close to hatching Storkos brings the egg back? I don't know, but this is a fan theory.


Pinatas have differently designed houses. When two Pinatas fall in love, they go to the closest house to mate (wed, marry, date, whatever). Pinatas often do a little dance while mating (wedding, marrying, dating, whatever). The dance varies between species.


Some species don't get along, and if they get see each other..........well, I'll make it short and keep things snappy. They will most likely try to kill each other (not literally, only metaphorically). To prevent these fights, I recommend that you keep them separated with either a fence or a deep pond. Unless one or the other can fly or swim. Then...........just use a fence.


There is a TV show that has some facts from the game. The list of characters in the show is below.
  • Hudson - a Horstachio. He is like a celebrity star towards other Pinatas. He even has his own agent!!! He's confident, a bit of a show off and since he's a celebrity, he entertains parties for the rich, wealthy, or other celebrities (of coarse, he entertains humans, not other Pinatas.).
  • Fergy - a Fudgehog. He has a fear of getting smashed to bits by party goers. But he eats a lot, making him bigger and filling him up with candy. As a result Langston (the dude that sends Pinatas to "par-take" in "par-tays".) often sends him to entertain people.
  • Paulie - A Pretztail that's Fergy and Franklyn's best bud. He, like Fergy, don't like Pinatas. But in his case, it's because the lifestyle of a average Pinata is like this: Eat, fill up with candy, go to parties, get smashed, spill treats, get patched up, do all over again. And for Paulie, he thinks that this lifestyle is just plain pointless. So he hides his candy in tail so that when he does get busted open, his candy doesn't spill.
  • Franklin - the best friend of Paulie and Fergy. As a Fizzlybear, he likes surfing (figures. Fizzlybears LOVE surfing. That's why their houses look like surf shops!!!). But he isn't a good dancer (unless you play a surfing CD, then he dances very well.). Also, he quite literally, can't tell a lie. So don't tell him to keep a secret.
  • Ted & Tina - both are a single Twingersnap that absolutely hate each other. They have a.....love hate relationship.
  • Les - the smartest Pinata ever. His IQ even rivals that of mine!!! Only problem is, nobody can understand literally a single word he says.
  • Langston - a Lickatoad that is known as the "Pinata Wrangler". He targets Fergy. I mean, he's chock full of candy and sweets!!! He carries a handheld and portable version of the Candiosity (candy-OS-it-e) Meter.

Skylanders stuff

I'm sure you read my Skylanders blog posts. So here's a blog post about the whole series!!!


the mysterious Chinese
Dragon.

Apparently, there are two confirmed new characters: Alchemist, and Vac Eagle. Alchemist, as his name suggests, fights by drinking a potion which transforms him into a bulkier version of himself. Vac Eagle, judging by the fact he has what appears to be a laser gun, probably fights using different styles of gunfire.


Here's a list of Skylanders that I think are truly unique.
  • Sunburn - the only winged Skylander who can't fly. He is unique because he can teleport AND has a dash attack. Normally video game characters have only one or the other.
  • Slam Bam - a four armed Skylander. He is unique because he is the only character that has ice powers.
  • Drill Sergeant - the only inorganic Skylander. He is unique because his third power (Auto Blaster) is automatic, therefore the player doesn't have to push a button to activate it.
  • Ghost Roaster - an undead Skylander. He is unique because of his Ectoplasm Mode, which makes him indestructible but loses a small amount of health over time (a large amount depending how long you stay in Ectoplasm Mode.).
  • Stealth Elf - a ninja like Skylander. She is unique because she can turn invisible.
  • Tree Rex - the first confirmed Giant Skylander. Like all Giants, he can pick up large heavy objects and throw them with little effort, can barrel through basically any kind of blockade, and from what I'd seen he can pull pieces of land over to where he's standing.  He's unique because of all these traits and has a cannon mounted on the lower half his arm (it also covers a bit of his right hand, specifically everything except the fingers and thumb.).
  • Flavius - though technically he's not a Skylander, he is classified as a warrior. He is unique because he can allow you to fly by having you ride on his back (Spyro can only fly just above the ground. Flavius can get hundreds of feet in the air.).


TRIVIA
  • In the Dragon's Peak Adventure Pack, Dragon King Ramses says that he knows exactly who will be the next Dragon King when Ramses' time as king is done to Flavius, hinting that FLAVIUS will be the next king.
  • Captain Dreadbeard (from Pirate Seas Adventure Pack) is the only bonus level boss that is not fought in a boss fight. The first time he challenges you to a game of cards. If you win, he almost instantly retreats, only hesitating to tell you that he double-crossed you by kidnapping Jess LeGrand. The second time, he does the same thing as last time, but lets Jess go. Then he again almost instantly retreats, only hesitating to tell you that he will be back.
  • In The Beginning trailer, there is a Chinese dragon fighting alongside the Skylanders. No body knows who this is. Please tell me who you think is this dragon in a comment (picture seen above).
  • I'm probably the only one to notice this, but I've noticed that Kaos only uses elements with obvious differences.
  • Another thing I've noticed, he has only three of the four Skylanders (Darklanders in his case) in the elements he does use.
