After playing this game since the early days, going back & forth through hundreds of hours and dozens of variants, evolving, etc. some 15+ years later i finally 100% or 1000G/1000G the original Viva Piñata.

I have stuff on the way too so I’ll make an update when I have more stuff to showcase

True story, i almost got a roario today, all he had to do was eat 1 Zumbug and you know what he did? He ate another Doenut instead 🥲

So granted I've since deleted the rom to make room but I was curious about a frankly infuriating glitch I encountered. I had everything ready, made the egg put the Jurassic hat on the cluckles and then directed to the egg. And it just stood there, looked at me and walked off. Nothing could fix it.

Is this a known bug?

Just everyone

Love these pouches so much I swear, it’s going to be so hard to get any others but even if I can’t find the rest I’m very happy with the ones I have

Once more with gusto!

the freebies are unfinished but here’s some of the stuff i’ll be giving out at dragoncon. I really have no idea how popular this game is outside of my circle of people so i hope I have enough trinkets lol

Since I’m trying to get all the merch I can find out there and also get more merch shown by other collectors I thought this could be a cool idea

Pls feel free to show ur collection there! :3

Just wanted to share.

I first got into Viva Pinata when I was around 13/14. I used to skip school a lot (don't judge me please but also I don't recommend it STAY IN SCHOOL) just so I could play this game.

I played it well into my teens and then played TIP to death.

I am now 32, a homeowner, married with a child. I work in HR.

I recently dug out my old 360 because I felt like playing TES Oblivion and found my old Viva Pinata copy in the pile of games I'd put in storage.

Loaded up the game to show my 4 year old and suddenly it's weeks later and I've got a full blown garden going again. Telling my husband all the tips and tricks from Variants to cheesing it to stop Professor Pester entering your garden. Showed my 4 year old the egg tap trick with the Syrupent eggs and let her name the Pinatas.

Whenever I work remotely I play Viva Pinata on my lunch break, and when I am working I often listen to the soundtrack on Spotify. Keeps me so calm and focused. I suffer badly with anxiety and this game, the soundtrack alone, has really helped. I'm so glad I kept my original disk all these years and that it still works. And very grateful that I am lucky enough in life to have a family and a full time job and still have time for this game.

I’m looking to find viva piñata merch collectors or people looking to compile info on merch , to possibly work together in making some sort of list or documentation of all the merch we can find. I have found quite a lot that I’ve never seen on Reddit so can definitely add them too

No game has ever given me the same soothing feeling as watching a new piñata appear in my garden, surrounded by that beautiful aesthetic. The lush green grass, vibrant colour palette, and wonderful sound design made Viva Piñata feel truly special.

Every now and then, I find myself remembering the impact this game had on me as a child. Why hasn’t anything managed to recreate that feeling? And what would be so difficult about bringing Viva Piñata back today?

Edit 3: I have it!!!!

This is a listing I bought recently, unfortunately it got returned to the seller (who never offered a return address) because the post man delivered it to the wrong address. I’m looking for any variant of this but this one specifically I desperately want . I already spent about £50 on this one so I’m hoping to not spend as much , but I think at this point if someone was selling one I may end up caving. If anyone knows where I can buy one I will be more than happy to compensate them to thank them. I’ve tried to search on eBay on a few different countries with not much luck. Only one I found is the ephanilla one that I’ve already purchased

Edit: I believe I should be able to get my pretstail one! I’ll post an update in the next hour if I’m able to get it :3

Edit 2: it’s lost. We’ve had a major run around with parcel force for nothing. It originally got sent wrong address and was told it was being returned, the seller hadn’t put a return address so it was told be destroyed. We got in contact with the company and asked for it to be redelivered . Today it says that it was attempted delivery (not the case at all, I have a ring doorbell). We call up and get told where it is . We have a 30 min trip to go to the parcel place that they gave, it’s the wrong one. Another 40 min trip to the correct one and after waiting for an hour we get told that it’s not there and they need time to find it. Really upset and at this point I’m tempted to just give up on the one I bought. It makes it worse that the eBay listing I found is as far as I can see, the only documentation of this specific pouch so my odds of finding it seem incredibly low

If you see me come say hi i will have trinkets ❤️ I will also have a seedos and whirlm with me :)

Estaba jugando y pues fui con seedos para ver si me tiraba una semilla nueva pero veo que se termino bugeando la verdad parece que solo me ignoro y me dejo en visto

Open to discussion. This is purely subjective, and my values in a pinata are all over the place, so it wouldn't surprise me if there's some disagreement here.
