1. Introduction                           [VPIntro]
--------------------------------------------------

Welcome to my first attempt at a game guide, so 
please bear with me as it may not be your cup of tea
this first go around. I have put many hours into the 
original Viva Pinata and decided to pick up the DS 
version which I must say is very well though out and
improved for the means of the touch screen.

4. Frequently Asked Questions             [VPFAQ]
--------------------------------------------------

Q) I have one Cocoadile, but others aren't appearing!?
   A) Your Cocoadile probably appeared prior to the
       appearance and defeat of the sour, so more 
       cocoadiles will not appear until the sour has 
       been tamed, regardless of meeting the visit
       requirements.

Q) Where can I get an apple seed?
   A) The apple seed can be bought from Costolot's General 
      Store at level 3 for about 50 coins.

Q) How do I get a jack o' lantern?
   A) Grow a pumpkin, and once fully grown
      pay Bart to magically transform it into
      a jack o' lantern.

Q) How do I get a bottle of medicine?
   A) The bottle of medicine can either be bought from 
      Costolot's or by paying Bart to magically
      transform some honey.

Q) Where can I get a birdbath?
   A) The birdbath can be bought from Costolot's.

Many more to come...
