Do you always donate your first catch to Blathers?

[Zerous]

I always have across all games, I've always enjoyed trying to complete the museum. New Horizons has given me the most motivation to complete it so I can see the fully decorated fish room.

Do you? And is it the same for you across all of the games you've played?

 

[Giddy]

It may depend on how hard the catch was or how long it took me to find a specific creatur.
For instance ifit was sea creatures im bound to find more diving so i usually wait till my pockets are full and sell most but keep at least one to donate.
I cant remember if it shows what day you caught ut but that plays factors as well

 

[daisyflowers]

yeah!! blathers and the museum collection comes first. i'm happy to give them up

 

[Mokuren]

Yes! I love to fill the museum and the first of everything get's donated

 

[Halloqueen]

Yes, I always donate the first caught bugs and fish to Blathers. It's simply easier to keep track of things that way, but also there are certain creatures that can be a real pain to catch at all. For example, I've literally only ever encountered and caught one barreleye in three years and across all 8 of my player characters. Imagine if I had sold it instead. No thank you.

 

[Darcy94x]

Yes! Then I know where I’m at with everything, just seems to work better for me then I don’t have to worry about catching a second one

 

[MiniPocketWorld]

Always. It's just easier to keep track of. Also some spawns are really low so it helps with that too.

 

[Snek]

Yes, giving Blathers the first catch was always the priority for me. Mainly so I didn't have to backtrack later in case I forgot

 

[JemAC]

I have done in NL and NH cause I enjoy filling up the museum and some of them take so long to catch that I don't want to have to wait ages for them again. I don't think I did in WW though, the bells were probably too tempting for younger me!

 

[Jacob]

Yes, always! After 3 years I still haven't finished my aquarium though. I think besides fossils, it's my closest to 100%

 

[Cirice]

Almost ! I kept my first gigas giant clam and my first ranchu goldfish to myself because they are adorable !

 

[oath2order]

Yes, I need to finish the museum.

 

[deana]

Absolutely!
Of course sometimes I forget/make mistakes and then Blather's doesn't get the first one but I try.

 

[kayleee]

Yes I always donate the first to Blathers!

 

[wrenbow]

Of course, it feels illegal not to.

 

[AccfSally]

Yes, I like to complete my museum and to get it out the way.

 

[Croconaw]

I couldn’t care less about the museum. I don’t mind not having a completed exhibit. I get upset accidentally donating to him which in turn, made me dislike Blathers. My first instinct is to sell and get the bells. Not having WiFi when playing that game made earning bells a little more difficult. I’ll take what I can get.

 

[CylieDanny]

Not if its a cool fish, like a shark. Then thats mine, and I'll get him something else

 

[S.J.]

I do, just in case I don't find another for a while.

 

[OswinOswald]

I also like that the museum will keep track of the date that you donated an item, so by donating a first catch, I also get those dates memorialized eternally. And it's fun when I go to other people's islands to see that information too!
