poll: hybrid islands

[tiffanistarr]

I am just now learning that they got rid of those!?!?!? I had no idea!! I loved those, I remember my first island was windflower hybrids and I was so excited! I remember getting all the pink ones. I had no idea that got patched out. Was it patched in the 2.0 update? After I got all my villagers I rarely ever went to the islands unless I needed trees and didn’t want to wait for saplings to grow. Such a disservice to remove those islands.

I don't remember how many I've been to, I know it's not a lot though. I'm sad they got rid of them

What was even the point of getting rid of them? It doesn't make sense since they actually took the time to make the islands. The game was already so bare when it launched so getting rid of more content just feels like such a bad move on their part. Was this ever addressed or was there a reason for it?

I think I remember going to one, but I don't think I took the flowers or if I did I sold them?

I'm pretty sure I only came across a hybrid island once.

I think around 5 times. Definitely several times to where I didn't really count too much. I was heavily island hopping though in the beginning mostly for the tarantula island and bamboo islands before I finally just went turnip route.
I do remember the majority being lily hybrids which I think annoyed me at the time because my island was originally lily.

I am pretty sure that I ran into at least 2 hybrid islands I would like to try find some more too!!!!

restarting on a new island really puts into perspective how strangely punitive these islands removal was, honestly.

its not an insignificant amount of effort to even find a hybrid mystery island. and i imagine the joy i would have gotten running into one on this new island amongst my recent 150 NMT hunt,, and dang, it's depressing all over again ! make it (the removal) make sense !

totally agree blue ! i was around and also never remember getting an explanation for why they removed them at the height of popularity. its not that going to other islands (and therefore buying nintendo online) is necessary for the hybridization. soooo why !

I didn't even know it was removed wtfffff

I have visited it though, I forget how many times though. Maybe like 2 or 3?

Right? It was sort of like how they nerfed the interest from the bank after launch where it's so pathetically low compared to previous entries or nerfed the spawn rate of one of the butterflies. The game is already mega-grindy compared to the other entries and this just made it more so.
