About Phineas...

[eyeplaybass]

I've seen a lot of people (Myself AND Justin of TBT in his blog at ACNewLeaf.com (imagine, even the great head-honcho!) included) seem a bit confused about the pattern of Phineas showing up in town. Well today, I had a break through...

I was reading a blog done by someone who has played since the release of the game in Japan and she said he only shows up on SUNNY DAYS... which totally makes sense considering he always comments about the sun when he shows up in my town. And, since it was the rainy season right when we got the game, this could explain why a lot of us have been confused about him not showing up for what seemed like weeks.

I guess, I can't exactly confirm this, but I DID have my first sunny day in a while yesterday and he just HAPPENED to show up. Some food for thought that I figured you guys might enjoy learning if you didn't know. I sure didn't!

TL;DR? Don't bother looking for Phineas if the sun ain't shining. He ain't having none of that cloudy business.

Oh that makes sense! Though I hate how when he shows up it means Redd and Katrina aren't in town.

I get so pleased when I see him. But that's because I'm wierd about achievements and the like in video games. Gotta catch em all!!!

I thought it was common knowledge special characters don't show up in the rain, with maybe the possible exception of katrina/redd.

And pete. I saw him in the rain.

Doesn't Gulliver also show up in the rain in NL?

Haha! Well I wasn't aware! And I can't be the only one. I've seen countless people wondering why they hadn't seen Phineas in so long.
