Megaphone

Yeah, sometimes I have to run around the whole town to find her, wastes so much time. When I do find her, I usually push her to a more convenient location and trap her with holes, keeps her from running around lol.

I use it from time to time, if I can't find one of my villagers. Usually it stays in my closet.

Does anyone know how to correctly pronounce Chevre? I can never do it right...

It's "chef" in French they won't pronounce the "re" (if I heard it right). Try shouting Jeffrey, Jeff or Chad.

I believe it's pronounced 'shef-ruh'

The 're' is there I think, it's just lost in accent. I also thought it was 'shauv'.
I'm not too confident on French though tbh, I find it a disgusting sounding language and never payed attention in school.

It's pretty much phonetic. It's the french word for goat. From what I can tell from this forum, the game either has issues with accents or isn't programmed with the right pronunciations of some words.

I only use the megaphone for when I'm resetting for Saharah exclusives, its actually pretty annoying since I don't like yelling at my DS I usually mumble or talk quietly and end up repeating her name 5 times before she replies...

 

[Rendra]

I only use it to find Saharah for my 3 extra characters. They are only coming out of their houses to try and get some special wall/floor from Saharah and I hate having them run all over town, just to find her hiding behind their own house.

 

[ShiraCheshire]

I leave my megaphone on the ground outside of my house. When I search and search for an animal with no luck, I'll go grab it. Usually it works very well (Correctly calling Vladamir twice even in a car with lots of background noise), and sometimes it doesn't work at all. (No matter how many times I called Eunice, it never recognized her name.) It probably works a lot better for some voices than others, as well. This is probably why we have megaphone supporters as well as those who can never get the megaphone to cooperate.

 

[TerryMartin]

I stopped using it since everytime i say "Rizzo" somebody else answers...

 

[Tenyu]

Half the time I try to use my megaphone, it just won't register that I'm speaking at all. I don't know who or what's to blame - me or the microphone.

Depends. It should be "shevr," with the "r" pronounced in the back of your mouth, but the best English approximation would have to be "shev" - just one syllable, no r's involved at all.

It's "chef" in French they won't pronounce the "re" (if I heard it right). Try shouting Jeffrey, Jeff or Chad.

And thus, I am calling her Jeffrey or Chad for-evermore.

 

[EikoPanda]

I've tried to use it many times before, but each time I have tried to call one villager either someone else answers or it says they might not be outside when they're literally right there on the screen. So I hardly ever use it for anything anymore :/

 

[PlasticPinkPiggy]

I always get the correct villager except when I call out Pudge, for some reason blaire responds to pudge XD

 

[marierock13]

I find the megaphone useful; the villagers don't always respond to me correctly, but it saves a lot of time searching.

(Mainly because my town is 80% dense forest, and I wouldn't otherwise know where to start looking.)

 

[(Alice)]

I love the megaphone! I honestly find it helpful. Maybe 20% of the time I get a wrong response, but if you experiment with how loudly/clearly you're speaking and how far away from the DS your face is, you can see what works better.

 

[atoyume]

I use it every time I TT to make a certain villager move out. Also gotta make sure none of my dreamies move out.Too lazy to run around and play tag trying to find them all.

 

[Grunge]

i use it when trying to get a ping from a villager when using the PWP swimming trick. i call the villagers name and i think that increases chance of getting a ping. or at the very least makes it easier to find someone i want a request from.

 

[Jonesey]

I have no issues with it and it does come in handy for time when I cant find a villager or I need to find katie in order to bring her to another town. Or if my villagers are talking about phineas being in town I call him so I can find him faster. Have the odd issue with the wrong person answering but usually works great for me.
