I just started a new town because I wasn't happy with my old one, and the biggest reason I didn't do it earlier was because I thought catching all the fish and bugs again would take an age.
NOPE.
On my first night, FIRST GOSH DERN NIGHT, I caught a tarantula. To be fair I was looking for it (in this new town everytime I start to look for something I get it the night I start looking for it. examples: tarantula, scorpion, saddled bichir, etc.) but I was so giddy because it took my first town a year. Anyways, 3 days later I see a scorpion as I come out of Re-Tail. My first instinct was set to *GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE* but then I thought "actuallllly", but when I turned around it disintegrated into thin air. Wanting to solve this mystery of the scorpion (a.k.a. now that i saw a scorpion I MUST HAVE ONE FOR MY OWN) and also thinking "hey that tarantula was nice I think I'll get a scorpion so they can be 'rasslin buddies (don't ask)".
Three hours later I'm just half-assedly running around town with a net and saving & continuing every lap of the town I do, ready to give up when I hear a scratching sound by the cliff. I immediately think "WHAT" and go in the complete wrong direction the scorpion was in. Luckily when I got back I spot the scorpion gazing at the open sea and standing dangerously close to the edge. "DON'T DO IT" I say and move in to direct my good buddy scorpion back to safety with my net. It hisses so I immediately swipe and catch it.
What was the point of this post you may ask? Well it's to tell you (not only how lucky I am...) to never give up! I can't begin to tell you how bored I was searching for three hours but I didn't stop until I got a scorpion. To be honest though you probably spend way more than three hours looking for a scorpion and alls this post did for you was make you annoyed at me for rubbing it in your face. Oh well, just some words of encouragement, don't give up! The month is only halfway, just keep going!
