yeah, the diving trick is the best way to do it. Basically the reason why it works is because it resets villagers dialogue, and the next villager you walk past will always ping you (unless they were the last villager to ping you before diving) be sure to fill your pockets with flowers or bells so they dont ask you to buy/trade/sell. I wanted to get a certain PWP from my uchi, so what i did was i trapped her with holes near the beach so she was the first person i saw haha.

Yeah, the villagers you have only talked to a couple times wont ping you. You don't need to be best friends, just talk to them a couple times a day for three days maybe and they should ping you.
Okay1 that explains it! Too bad I can't try it tonight because I can't TT until Windia gets another villager. But will update my progress. I'm desperate for the flower arch and trellis.
