Mitten crabs are supposed to appear on the mainland in the second half of september [and salmon & king salmon are supposed to move near the river/waterfall]. It's 16th and I can still find salmon near the ocean, so at what time do Mitten crabs appear? Do I have to wait till tomorrow, or am I just really unlucky?

It says in the Animal Crossing Wiki that they appear from 4PM to 9AM. So either you haven't tried at the right times or you are unlucky? o-o
 
Does opting out spotpass prevent villagers randomly moving in from someone else's town to mine when I wifi with people ?

I just had someone claim a villager from my town (they were in boxes). If I wanted to time travel back to the correct date, would that person who came to my town still get the villager they talked to?

I believe once someone claims a villager they're kind of locked into moving to that players town. And villagers move wether you TT forwards or backwards, so I think they should be able to get this villager of yours.

no, spotpass has nothing to do with it. if you mean streetpass, opting out will prevent you from picking up a streetpass villager but it won't affect wifi -- if you're trying to avoid picking up a 10th villager you can neither streetpass nor wifi at all to be completely safe.
 
If I do not introduce myself to a new villager, will they not move? I heard that ignoring them only works after you introduce yourself to them.
 
Weird question to which I haven't found an answer yet: will villagers still ping you if you call out to them with the megaphone? Reason I'm asking is because I'm doing some time traveling trying to get certain villagers to say they are moving. I wasn't sure if using the megaphone would mess up them pinging me.

Incorrect! Ignoring them will not work. If you ignore them, they have extremely high chances of changing their mind and staying. Become friends with them, thry'll move sooner and won't change their mind as easily.

Wrong. Ignoring on a new character will get them to leave.

Yes, this just happened to me the other day -- I was looking for someone, used the megaphone, but then when I got close to them they ran up and pinged me. So it will work -- I didn't use it close to them though. If you trigger the greeting they might not ping.

Thanks a lot!
 
what is a cycle town?? i'm seeing the term being used but im not sure what it means.
my guess is its another copy of the game that you use to get the villagers that you want, am i correct? if so how the heck do you get them to move to your main town if you only have one 3ds or is that just not a factor and am i missing something omg.

Cycle town refers to a town where the player time travels to new days in order to make the game trigger its calculations for the next day. This way, the game may generate a new villager (assuming the player has enough space), make a random villager move out, or even generate a new campsite visitor. Basically, it's skipping to the next day.

Some players transfer wanted villagers from their cycle town to another player's town and claim them from that town. Of course, both parties need to be trustworthy so that the villager will not be lost.

Now for a question of my own, how do people transfer large sums of bells to other players? Say, 5 million bells? Since, I'm not entirely sure it's as simple (and tedious) as stuffing 99k bell bags into storage and pulling them all out in the other town.

That seems like how people would do it. I've also seen people pay with royal crowns (sell for 300k+ a piece) but obviously that only makes sense if the person dupes them.

Question: Is there some bug you can get on rotten fruits besides ants?

I've never gotten anything but ants. You can get flies on rotten turnips though. The first turnips I bought were just for this purpose!

Yes that is generally how people bring the gold over... but some speed up the money dropping process by having the receiver of the gold putting items up in their Re-Tail for 999k gold. Usually price some cheap item (like a flower) for that.

A fly will occasionally appear :3
 
What are the ways to know when (and who) a villager is moving? Other than talking to villagers if there are any. Any tips?
