Did this happen while saving or while entering the game? It's scary that people are getting corruption with physical games. What happens when you try to load your game again? Will it let you load it now?

I'm kind of confused. How does saving frequently help prevrnt corruption?

Woah. I am dreading the time my animal crossing copy will corrupt ;n;
Just a future note: Personally, i would invest in a Powersaves device because it can back up your saves so that even if you do corrupt you can reload your town and you're good to go. But yeah, you make better time just re-starting your game because it's going to keep happening. It happened to my old town before which was what pushed me to buy a PS device. I think i've corrupted once since having the device but since i had my town backed up, i was able to recover it. I'm sorry this happened to you though. D; It sucks, i know from personal experience. </3
what does isabelle say when you try to load?

but we shouldn't have to do this.
AC should not corrupt. it shouldn't be an issue, nintendo should just fix it. obviously there is some major technical error in AC game cards. luckily I have never had my game corrupt but these stories still scare me.
They can't control it, it happens to every game. I have heard of Tomodachi life corrupting. We have to try not to cause it.

ANd yet I spend hours trying to corrupt my game, it doesn't work.

Well, it goes to the part where she says. "I'm going to get the town ready for you" or something and then it goes onto the part where the circle thing pops up but it turns red and says "could not load corrupted data, exiting to main screen."

It resets from my most current save (the one I started before I went to the town that must've caused the corruption) no matter how many times I save after it. I'm annoyed at how many times Isabelle tells me Beau has moved in and Bettina is moving out.
Wait, I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly.. Does the game keep going back to a certain save, regardless of how many times you seem to succesfully save afterwards? And you think that going to a certain town must have caused your game to corrupt? If so, what makes you think that?

Okay guys, here's the plan.
I'm dirt poor IRL but I'm expecting to inherit some money and I'll sell my old games in a couple of days.
Once that happens, I'll buy Pok?mon X and ACNL back, hopefully without having to return them again.
In the meantime I'll be giving away all my villagers (including my dreamies), my money, and my items.
It's really hard to let them go but I have to because I simply can't afford it.
So that's my plan. I just really hope it isn't to do with my DS.

It keeps going back to a certain save, even though it changes the days as you'd expect normally.
I don't think the town itself caused me to corrupt. But as I was leaving, their Internet shut down, and I was pulled from wifi'ing and without realising it I switched off the power. The next thing I come back to is a different loading screen.

Huh, I see.. That's so odd. But it's definitely possible that the corruption was caused by shutting down the game while it might have been saving at that moment (since you were just leaving that town). Really sorry to hear that happened and that your game's being all weird now. But good to hear you've already made plans to get a new copy by raking in some money.
Since you know what might have caused the game to corrupt, I'd dare say it's safe to assume that this specific copy is broken and not the 3DS itself. Especially if you're able to play other games on it normally.
Hope you can get a new copy soon!
The wifi crashing cannot cause corruption. But actually turning off the power while saving CAN cause corruption. I am sorry this happened to you.

I am confused though. If the data was corrupted why can you not start a new town normally? How is it possible to corrupt the game card itself???

Another thing I have wondered is why did we never hear stories of wild world corrupting or other DS game corrupting. Why is it only 3ds game corrupting. My theory is it is part of the programming in the 3ds cards that glitching it and corrupting it.
Any Animal Crossing game can corrupt.

I don't think they mean that type of corruption, save corruption, but still haha. XD
Yes I am aware of that. But I am just saying that nobody really heard stories of wild world corrupting. Or at least it wasn't as common. There must be a reason 3ds corrupts more.
Hahaha oh my gosh, how haven't I seen this before?
Also if you need any help restoring your save, I'm willing to chip in. Sorry about your game!
