Just a cute idea I’d like to share!

[Candyapple]

So I have many rocks in my town. Annoying, right? I managed to hide some of them by planting trees or flowers in front of it.

But there was this rock that was right in the middle of my chosen path... so I thought: why not making it a cute feature instead of a nuisance?

And the pet rock idea was born! To make it more clear I created a sign close to it with the cute design of my pet rock!

Pet rocks are very shy so they don?t show their face when you walk past them!
But you can use your imagination and create their face on the sign close to it.

How does your pet rock looks? They bring good fortune and happyness to your town.
Adopt your pet rock today and give it a face!

If you like this idea, feel free to post your screenshot of your pet rock here in this thread ^__^

I hope I brought a smile on your face with this post!

Here is my pet rock. His name is Pablo. He loves to eat paella, that my villager Cashmere cooks for him and bring it to him almost everyday
He prefers rainy days and the autumn breeze. He won?t refuse a mocha coffee with a chocolate cupcake if you bring it to him!

A very cute idea! I have a pesky rock on a path myself, but there's not much room to do anything with it.

Oh that’s so cute!! What an awesome idea!! ;7; Thank you for sharing, I’d love to adopt a new pet rock, too!

Haha, what if some of them were once old mayors who were so dedicated to their town, they reincarnated into rocks so they could continue watching over everyone..? Ah, sorry that sounds really silly xD I’m just thinking of rock shrines now!

That’s actually a great story! You can create so many different and awesome stories for your pet rocks! I can’t wait to hear them all
I’m happy you liked this idea!

Aw pet rock that's such a cute idea.

Did you take a pic of just the screen then posted it? If so, how did you get it so clear? Mine always come out somewhat blurry.

TIP! Use the Nintendo 3DS Image Share tool to easily upload your screenshots from 3DS to Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook! Then from those services, you can post your screenshots in this thread on TBT!

Hope this still works, haven't used it myself.

Yea I just took a pic of the screen with my phone and then fixed the colors etc in an app called Meitu!

Interesting! I’ll look into this!

that's so cute! wish I was as optimistic as you when I am dealing with a pesky in-the-way rock in my town, lol. sometimes i get so angry about it I plot reset or start over entirely. guess i'll have to take a page out of your book in optimism! <3

This is such a cute, unique idea! Inspired me to make my own, I have a rock right where I want a path to go so this really helps. (i want flowers around that fountain, hence why the path isn't moved one over) Here's my own, I had to make it a pattern on the ground as there isn't any room to put a sign nearby but it blends into the path, so it's like a plaque almost!
pls excuse bad quality pic, waifu2x was making the letters unreadable

 

[LadyDestani]

I love your pet rock idea. It's so cute! And the way you turned a negative into a positive is exactly the kind of spirit that I think Animal Crossing is all about. I love that it's inspiring others as well.

 

[mooing]

If you wanna be more mysterious about it, you could just write the rock's name with an arrow pointing to it lel

Wow! Brilliant idea! I don't normally have a problem with my rocks, but this is definitely a cute idea! Too bad I don't know how to post screenshots, otherwise I would do my own. Maybe one day I'll figure it out.

wow I love your twin pet rocks! They rock and they like your path so much that they decided to go live right on it lol
Don’t worry about the quality. I took the pic I posted with my cellphone and it wasn’t the greatest either, but that’s ok. We can still see how cool the pet rocks are!

Exactly! This is a game that inspires me, and gives me good feelings and it’s cool that it let us express our creativity in many ways!
And I love to see other creations too. Long live animal crossing ^__^

That’s a good idea! Let’s not be too obvious and let others figure out what’s going on with random rocks with names!

Eh believe me, I got mad too at first! So many rocks all around my town. But I managed to hide the other rocks. I guess the others were no pets, just random serious rocks with no name or story

Wow! Brilliant idea! I don't normally have a problem with my rocks, but this is definitely a cute idea! Too bad I don't know how to post screenshots, otherwise I would do my own. Maybe one day I'll figure it out.

Oh you see the little icon just above the message window, when you are replying a thread, between other icons, the one with the picture of a tree in it? Click on that and you can upload the pic from your phone or pc! Try it

Aha! I would love to try it, but I don't have that device that allows me to put my SD card pictures on my laptop, but I'm thinking of getting one soon. Maybe possibly for the new AC Switch game too.

You could use the online browser on the ds to upload your pictures to twitter or facebook, then grab them from there. That's what I do!

Um, well, the problem is I don't use those places like Facebook or Twitter. I tend to stay away from those, but thanks for the suggestion though!

You could use the browser on your DS to upload the photos to a photo sharing site like Imgur. Then you can download them to your phone or computer. That's what I do since I also avoid social media. You don't even have to create an account to upload with Imgur.

 

[AngelBunny]

this is so cute! i might edit with my rock pet

 

[Stella-Io]

Ooh, Imgur with no account, sounds right up my alley.

I plan on getting a Twiiter so 1 I can have a save back up for Pocket Camp 2 my images on tumblr won't be CRUD and 3 my images shared on other websites wont be crud. I still haven't gotten around to making the Twitter thou. Def gonna check out Imgur at some point.

 

[FoxFeathers]

Okay. Not gonna lie. This is pure and innocent cute. 10/10
Probably the sweetest thing I've ever seen on the boards.
