You can't break rocks. Every day, there will be ONE breakable rock in your town (it will be an extra rock. not one of the already existing ones) that will produce a gem.

If a neighbor is visiting your home, can they follow you from room to room or do they stay in the first room?

Also, I saw on a list something I think was called an insect helmet. I tried to find a picture of that and failed. Does anybody have a picture of that?

As far as grass goes, can I reset my game if I don't get the grass shape I want? I am very partial to the circle grass and I would be very sad to get triangular.

Of course you can reset! You may be waiting a little while to get a layout that you like with circular grass, but if you are willing to wait it out then there's nothing stopping you

If you visit the island twice in one day, is it possible that the items will change from one visit to the next? On the last Nintendo AC:NL video, they said that if you leave the island and come back, it's possible that your mini-games will change. I was curious if the shop would too -- some people have mentioned in this post that if you see an item you want, you should get it immediately because it could change.
Also, is there a shop on the wifi island that you visit with the pass that could have different stuff?

The games and items only change when you go to Club Tortimer aka the wifi island.

I've never had my games or items change in the same day on my own island.

 

[fink]

if you are a member of club tortimer do you have the option to go to either island or are you on wifi island from then on out

You can choose which island to visit.

My items have never changed, but the games have. They did today as a matter of fact - maybe a before/after midnight thing? I had one set of games when I played at 8pm last night and different ones when I played at 3am (couldn't sleep!).

Oh! I never play on the island that late, but you're probably right. Unless the games changed for today's date. If the games are different again at 8pm tonight, then we will know.

 

[RainyInVancouver]

I know it's happened before, but I never really paid attention to the times. Since the town changes over to a "new day" at 6am and it was 3am when I played, I didn't think it was the new day thing. So many things to figure out

 

[Mint]

I've gone to my island as late as 10pm with friends to play certain games and the games hadn't changed. I'm not sure what factors into the games changing.

Edit: I checked the Japanese wiki. The games change at midnight. No other times are listed, they only change at midnight and not multiple times throughout the day.

Does anyone know the minimum character limit on CHARACTER names, not town names. I want to call my character Fi, but I worry the minimum might be 3 characters, is there anyone with a copy of the game who can check this out for me please?

Do you mean character limit as in the amount of letters/numbers? If so, it's 8 characters.

The minimum amount is different, as in the least amount of characters.

For the neighbour question- If they stop by unannounced, they won't follow you from room to room. If they ask to visit or schedule a time to visit, they will follow you from room to room.

Insect helmet- I think that might be given out in October, or at least that's what the Japanese wiki says. Someone with a guidebook might be able to get you a picture of it. I don't have a guidebook.

I have a question about bell tree's also: Do bell tree's give you bells only once, or do they produce 'fruit' everyday, like normal fruit tree's?

They only give you bells once. Afterward, they act as a normal tree.
