I have so many memories with this game. I've had the town I have now for about 5 years, and I started playing it again tonight and I got this huge hit of nostalgia.
Some fond memories of it is when I started the town 5 years ago, and my sister (who I actually got along with back then) had a character of her own and we'd take turns playing the game every day. Her house is still in town the way she left it, and villagers still ask about her and show me letters from her which bring back memories.
Also, I remember waking up really early in the morning before school to collect mushrooms during mushroom season.
I remember when I got a gameboy advance cord and visited the island for the first time.
And about two summers ago I got one of my close friends to get the game and we played it like every day all summer long and we'd call each other and talk about it and visit each other's towns when we hung out.
I think that's one of the main reasons ACGC is my favourite AC game, there's just so many fond memories attached to it. I love it, and it really makes me miss childhood.
