It's time to give Redd an apprentice of his own!

[Ossiran]

I've been thinking a bit lately, and it seems almost unfair to Redd that he doesn't yet have an apprentice of his own. Redd considered Nook a business rival in the past, after all. Nook has already passed along his store completely to his adopted nephews, Timmy and Tommy. Not to be outdone, I believe Redd should finally be given an apprentice of his own.

His apprentice wouldn't necessarily have to be related to him; they could easily be just another kitsune that admires Redd and wants to be like him. As for the kind of personality they'd have, I'm not sure. They could be a con/trickster like him, but very bad at it due to their youthful ignorance, such as possibly snickering when they know something is fake or giving a long, drawn-out explanation when they're trying to pretend a genuine item is a forgery.

Perhaps some days they could be working with him, some visits they could be by themselves, and/or they could help run events stands.

What do you all think? Should Redd have someone he can train to follow in his footsteps like Nook does? Or should he remain a loner.

I find this hard to see happen, but I guess it could work... I don't really know what to think about it.

My general opinion of Crazy Redd is that he is one of my least favorite characters in the Animal Crossing games period. And that says a lot considering how snobby Gracie is.

Blue and Green, Redds twin sons, confirmed for Switch!!

I think that would be cute! Since he's such a sketchy dude but he like,,, gets a soft spot for this tiny kitsune who's bad at lying. Or well I hope he does ))) like reigen from mp100

though it wouldn't have to be a son/nephew scenario i guess? Maybe like a older brother-younger brother relationship so he can still be sketchy as usual around him? either way I like the thought of it )))

 

[moonbyu]

that sounds cute!

 

[LadyDestani]

Yes, I am all for a chibi kitsune! That would be so cute!

Nook has already passed along his store complete to his adopted nephews, Timmy and Tommy.

Wait, they're adopted?? Is this canon?

 

[Neechan]

Wait, they're adopted?? Is this canon?

yes actually, if I recall, its a conversation Tom has with Brewster in NL, I could be recalling wrong...

But it would be so cute to see a small kitsune trying to swindle you

I agree that Redd having a son (or considering the trend of NPCs, a Nephew) run his shop with him would be pretty cute. I like the idea of them dropping hints about which items are fake or real, but I'm not sure if I'd prefer him to be doing it out of kindness (not liking when he has to stay with his Uncle as he prefers honest work, so tries to help the player out) or just trying to be like his Uncle and accidentally letting his tongue slip and telling the player a little too much! Either direction could work very well.

Not sure on the exact details, but I think it was mentioned in New Leaf that they were adopted. In Wild World, Nook himself said they weren't related to him at all, so it'd make sense.

This would be so adorable!

Oh my goshhhhhhhh! That would be the cutest! I want Redd to have a tiny son who is adorable and bad at lying!!!! <3

 

[LunaRover]

I'm open to this idea. Another shady kitsune + the benefit of being a smoll bean? why not. Perhaps he could even be a good influence on his sketchy father as discussed lol^^^ Hoping to see more npc expansion similar to this in the game, even though redd is probably not my first choice.

 

[moonford]

yes, yes and yes.

I want a fully-fledged rivarly between Nook and Redd in the next game, it's never explained in depth.

 

[Hat']

Hmm... I think him working alone and having his lil business adds to the character... he actually seems kinda hardworking and it's cool!
It fits Tom Nook's character to have left his shop to do almost nothing but earn money in his Homes shop.
But Redd needs to work I think, it's his little thing, also he's not here often so, heh

 

[imiya]

I'd like to see Redd pick up a little lonely apprentice to take in. To show he has a heart, you know?
Maybe Timmy or Tommy move over to his shop after a disagreement...

 

[Stevey Queen]

I think it would be cool if the apprentice would tell you which piece of art Redd is currently selling is genuine...but for a hefty price. He would basically be conning Redd which is sorta what Redd was mentoring him for anyways.

 

[Sweetley]

That's actually a really cute and interesting idea. I do like Redd and I wouldn't mind if they
would give him a apprentice of his own. In general, Redd needs more love and attention in
my opinion so yeah, I would like this! Would really work well if they would give him his own
shop this time.

 

[acornavenue]

I think it would be cool if Redd sold more than real and fake things for the museum. I think it would be cool if he got things from other places, like a traveler. He reminds me of someone that explores so much like and finds objects to sell either their real or fake cool or not.

Cute idea! I can totally see Redd having an apprentice.
