intro screen theory?

[zoopal]

ok so ive been thinking about this for a long time and never seen anyone discuss it but that definitely doesnt mean it hasnt been discussed before. so when you first open the game application, especially first thing in the morning, i notice about 9 times out of 10 the area with a villager walking around also has some kind of weed or other blemish on it. is it possible that the intro screen shown when you first enter the game is trying to give you hints about "problem areas" in your town that are keeping your rating down? not really looking for a solid answer here just speculation.

I thought this was going to be some freaky Isabelle thing.

I don't think so, because every time I see mine, it's by my campsite, Aurora's house, Robin's house, or Tom's house. When I have weeds or other stuff, they're never walked by or anything. It may just be coincidence.

I've never had it show a weed. I have seen villager plots there though when I've been expecting a new villager.

I don't have weeds in my town. I notice it tends to focus on whoever is walking around. When I play early in the morning and none of the villagers are awake, it always zooms in on Re-Tail.

I think it just randomly follows whoever is out and about. I've never had weeds in my town nor had the intro screen focus on anything in particular~

Same as this , but actually not where they were moving lol

Mine has not shown weeds either.

Actually thinking about it, I always start up around the same time every day and it usually shows me Tammi walking around. I actually can't remember the last time it showed me another villager. I wonder if friendship level has to do with it if your villagers are up and about.

Late at night it's usually Retail on my intro screen.

In my guest town it's Peggy and O'Hare on the load screen most of the time. They live beside each other and shrubs divide their houses. A lot of the time both walk down the side of their house at the same time. It's cute.

In my main town it shown where a rock or mushroom is.

I don't think so because it doesn't always show areas that have weeds. Even when I have weeds in my town, it doesn't usually show them. There isn't really any pattern to it (not even rocks or mushrooms) for me. I think it's just random and just picks a villager that is awake at that hour. If no villagers are awake, it just shows a random part of your town.

This may have been the case in the past games, but I believe that in New Leaf it is totally random. Things can change between the title screen and the time you actually load up your town.

When I first got this game I started the game because I thought the plot it showed would stay there and it didn't.
