Pet peeves on acnl

I don't understand the big deal with Ankha, before I knew she was door popular I had her and I HATED her. My friend loves her, and I just dint understand. She's not cute. Someone explain PLEASE! I mean I get Diana, she's really pretty, but Ankha!? What do you guys see in her? She's the only villager that really confuses me...
sameee her ever present frown bothers me it's not cute
 
(These are just my opinions, no hate please ><)
1. I could say the same for Marshal, Merengue, Ankha and every other Tier One villagers out there. Everyone has their own unique choice, I guess >~<

2. While the majority does hate on Jambette, I don't think she's so bad, but that's just my opinion here! (even though her lips kinda remind me of my Dean at school . _.)

3. It's up to their choice if you want to TT or not. I don't think that this would have any effect between TT'ers and non-TT'ers :/ My town, for example, is already in late June

4. Well...if it was to get a hacked FREE version of New Leaf onto their 3DS/XL, then that's a different story.
What with the new Power Save codes/cheats, the release of the full Astrology set has been seen on some people's games...I guess 'duping' or 'hacking' will depend on what game you play. Hack, let's say, Mario Kart, and then you'd just be bugging everyone else by spamming Lightning Shocks, Green/Red/Blue Shells, Superstars, etc.

5. I guess, but I understand that there is the tan, but that doesn't last too long not to mention that the game was made by japanese producers no offense

But I hate how your villagers would wear your custom designs, borrow other villager's catchphrases and keep on selling their items at Re-Tail like it's cursed or something XD

My only pet peeve is the ""hey Spike, I'm leaving!" "Oh good, I wanted to get a new villager in" "What's that? You won't miss me, ok I'll stay just to irritate you further!".

Honestly I only need two more villagers out and I have two more lined up to come in and Mac and Ken both pinged me and said they were leaving only to change their minds, really wound me up! I finally got Mac to ping and confirm he'll leave so hopefully on the 14th I'll be Mac free! Then it's just Ken I need to move and I know that's going to be a nightmare >.<
 
anyways as for one of my pet peeves in ac i have quite a few
most of it is actually the game itself if that makes sense
it just feels like ever since i found out about the ac fandom i'm not playing it to have fun anymore but rather to impress other people with my town and i wish i felt like i was playing it for having a town that i was happy with and not necessarily a town others are happy with like how i felt for the first 3 months playing this game...

I agree wholeheartedly with this, although fortunately for me I just found out about this site (I've been playing ACNL for about six months now).

Beyond that, I think the thing that irritates me the most is when people bash on other people's dreamies or favorite villagers. People can have their own opinions and preferences, and it's not right for others to insult characters just because they think they're ugly or have "rotten" personalities. That just causes unnecessary tension within the community. Everyone should respect other people's love for their dreamies, whether they like them or not.
 
My opinion on yours:

5. While being black and Asian, I'd love a choice of skin color and am rather unhappy about the lack of it, but would I call it racist? Not necessarily, plus I feel that word is abused and understated. Sure racism exists, but the way some people throw it around for almost everything now It's not like Nintendo has never made black characters, there's just a bothersome lack of them. Unfair? Yes. But would I call it racist? Not really.
I agree some people will claim anything that has to do with race that they don't like as racist despite there being no clear ill intent on the subject in question's side.It would have been great to have skin color options but lack of skin colorization does not equal racism.They would have to clearly show that they think pale skin is superior to all other skin tones for it to be racist which they don't.It would be cool if I could make my character my skin color but I don't think Nintendo or Animal Crossing is being racist for not having the option in NL.
 
"Do you need me to explain how to use the wrapping paper?"

NO. NO, I DO NOT.
 
this seems more like your pet peeves with the ac community

the only one that is a valid complaint about the game itself is the one about not being able to pick skin color

This.

An ACTUAL pet peeve of mine is that they lowered the amount of Gyroids you can have activate from 6 to 4. Some sets have 6 and you can't even have the full set activated anymore!! >:U
 
Stupid rocks...... (< AC pet peeve #1). I know I don't need to elaborate on thAt one.

I luv this game. I really don't have hardly any gripes about it. I've been playing it since the GameCube version. I do wish we could have 12-15 villagers rather than 10. I also wish the wild world boxes rule applied so you could still talk a villager into staying if they end up in boxes.
 
I have to agree with DaCoSim about rocks. WHY CAN'T THEY BE DESTROYED IF YOU WANNA BUILD SOMETHING THERE.
I mean really, you can build a lighthouse in a night but you can't break down a ROCK?

Also the limited town landscaping possibilities. I'd love there to be actual ingamr paths to use that are shaped other than a square and that you don't have to carry on you all the time.
 
anyone who doesnt get the bob thing probably started with wild world, bob was probably the first "weird" type of villager, it was a purple cat called bob with a flower dress on, was it a guy? was it a girl? was it a guy dressed like a girl? he just stood out.

bob is just a classic AC villager and he's the first villager i think of when i think of AC villagers.
 
I wish we could have more than 10 qr codes or at least let the qr codes we let Mabel hold still be active rather than it getting replaced by the ones I have in my pocket. It really puts a limit on how I want to design my house and town and I'm not that willing to make more side characters just for the sake of being able to use more than 10.
 
My pet peeve with ACNL or just AC in general is the storage space, I don't feel like there is anywhere near enough of it for all the items there are that you can't order!

I'd love for there to be a wardrobe where all my clothes can be stored separately or even a toolbelt/toolkit to compact the items I carry around with me constantly such as fishing pole/watering can. Those extra spaces would make me so happy!
 
My biggest pet peeve is how easily villagers copy each other's catchphrases. I'm fine with it sometimes, but I sometimes come up with a good one and then 5 minutes later they've switched to another villager's.
Oh my God yes, that is so horrible. Ken started to copy Derwins "derrr" and it's the dumbest thing to say, EVER. I want him to change it again but he just DOESN'T.

When I use the megaphone why does it not work properly? I call for Lolly and Ankha answers? THEY DON'T EVEN SOUND THE SAME
And why do I have to say the f-word when I call for Fuchsia?
I got Camofrog when I said Ken. Like, wha?!

^ Bob is love<3
 
1. Rocks. The ruin potential garden spots, placement for PWPs: uugh.

2. Putting away tools when entering buildings/speaking to villagers. Not a biggy, but c'mon.

3. WHY WON'T MY HYBRIDS GROW? Aaagh. I've got minimal flowers, using the perfect set-up, using fertilizer, and strategically placing Jacob's ladders. I'm beginning to think it's bad luck. Poo.

4. Broffina. This chicken dropped their house in the worst place ever. I'll never forgive.

5. The credit card from City Folk. I miss it so hard.

6. How sporatic the special visitors come around. It's been AGES since I've seen Redd. My gallery is lacking dude, show up!

7. How people that don't TT get looked down on, and how people that TT seem to think non-TT's hate them. No hate, just wanna play one day at a time!


... and I'm sure I'll come up with more!
