Underneath the Town Tree ♤ The Animal Crossing Club

[Nagi]

My town is called Shalour this time around, previously it was Ecruteak

^Oh! I thought I was the only one who named their town after a Pokemon town. Mine was Anistar. :3

I'm pretty sure that Alli/Sydian's town name is Olivine, and my original town's name was LaRousse, which is a city from two of the Pokemon movies! There are lots of good names to pick from in the Pokemon world, especially considering the character limit you have when naming your new town.

whoa yeah, this is really an interesting trend! in fact, my previous town was named after Camphrier Town, and now my new one is named Fallarbor - but both the Japanese version of course, since otherwise i wouldn't be able to fit the 9-character town names ( ´ ▽ ` )ゞ

With it being Summer now, anyone up for another design contest?

this could actually be a nice idea - Seasonal Design Contests! is anyone up for another one? it has been a while since the last... c:

Hey guys!

I got my skype back on! :D Does the group still exist?

it does! but it hasn't been very active lately, haha. i'll be sure to host another Wi-Fi meetup when my town is a bit more... arranged, i suppose. but in the meantime don't hesitate to pop in and say hi! i'm practically always around, for one - if i'm not asleep, that is. (｡ ＞艸＜)
um, i thought i saw you had a question about saving patterns too, but i suppose that has been resolved? c:

Remember that the AC Skype chat doesn't *have* to be used strictly for meetups and whatnot. We can always chill and talk about other things. Friendships are solidified better that way. :3

i'm up for a summer design contest. if i had enough characters i'd name my town pacifidlog in a heartbeat. unfortunately i'm stuck with the town name of west, it hurts to be creative. i'd be down for one of the meet ups also, i miss them all.

We could do the contest as part of Pokecommunity get together?

oh, that's actually a nice idea! it could also help bring more new members to the club, hehe. hmm, should we do it the same way as we did it last time then? set a deadline for the submission of designs, then decide the winner by popular vote? i suppose that would be most fair. i'll send in the submission for now, and we can work out the details c:

Once I work at the Cafe, what do I do with all those coffee beans?

they don't really have a purpose, though you can sell them at re-tail for a good bit of bells.

speaking of the cafe i finally got the request to build one and i'm not quite sure where to put it.

 

[Meganium]

A design contest sounds spectacular as a get-together event. :D I think the GT starts at July 9 iirc? Since we have more members here, it's probably a good time!

 

[Loriania]

Now have the fourth museum exhibit. It is my travel themed exhibit, which now has three swords, and a few items from Gulliver.

 

[Captain Gizmo]

a few items from Gulliver.

That's exactly what I'm using it for xD
Well one room to be exact :P
The 2nd room I'm showing all the items you can get from the fortune cookies.

I have a fortune cookie room too. Now it's mostly Mario items. With a Master Sword and Triforce.

 

[Loriania]

There are plushies? Pics, please.

 

[Gardevoir the Dragon Slayer]

Guys its official, Animal crossing amiibos are a thing xD

 

[Nagi]

sooo... there's been an Animal Crossing-related leak, right before E3! details are in the spoiler below, in case you don't want anything revealed before the official presentation c:

Spoiler:

exciting no?! this leak comes from the Nintendo of Europe website, apparently. of course the bottom half is most interesting to us; i think they look absolutely adorable! i'm surprised they went with Mabel over Resetti, though - but she's one of my favourite characters so i'm completely fine with that! to be honest, i do think this sort of confirms an Animal Crossing for Wii U, no? why else would these come up now? for a game as old as New Leaf it would be unlikely...

zomg ninja'd

 

[Nagi]

so, the Nintendo E3 presentation was just held, and we have some Animal Crossing-related news!
firstly, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer was shown, but much more fleshed out this time. it seems to be quite fun, and you an also design the exterior and even the garden of a house! trailer in the spoiler below c: to be honest, most striking to me was the fact that a lot of player characters had dark skin! did Animal Crossing finally get the memo that some people have that without hours of tanning?

Spoiler:

secondly, was Animal Crossing Wii U! but not quite as we expected. named Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, it seemed like a Mario Party game in Animal Crossing style? this is also the game that utilizes the Amiibo that were shown yesterday. what do you think? i was somewhat disappointed that it isn't the AC Wii U that i hoped for, but i'm a fan of the Mario Party games generally, so i hope this will be fun too. next trailer below!

Spoiler:

 

[Loriania]

The home designer game looks fun. Will that be for 3DS?

 

[Gardevoir the Dragon Slayer]

Well the Amiibos look really, cool but the Wii U game looks boring and quite lazy on Nintendos part if I am totally honest.

 

[Meganium]

Another reason to get a WiiU for me! I really, really, really, really want all of those amiibos. They look so adorable! I can't wait to get the game, it looks really cool :D

Surprised that they are releasing two games for two consoles! I wonder if both of them will have compatibility? Forgive me as I did not really watch the event this morning. /at work

 

[Fairy]

The amiibos really are adorable. I've never been one to collect them, but seriously that KK Slider is precious. I'm rather excited about HHD too!

All the ceiling furniture options. :O

And a desert portion of the map apparently??

 

[Brendino]

I just saw some of the gameplay from Happy Home Designer, and I think I'm much more excited for it than I should be, haha. But then again, I was always big into building houses and cities in The Sims, so taking that concept and applying it to Animal Crossing has me sold!

And I don't have any plans on getting a Wii U, so I won't be paying too much attention to Amiibo Festival, though I can't say it looks like I'm missing much. If they start making amiibo figures for the villagers, then they'd have my money, but until then, I think I'll be more than happy with the cards for HHD.
