Streetpass/Spotpass dot next to Animal Crossing?

[Krissi2197]

There's always a little green dot on the left hand corner of the game thumbnail on the home screen before I launch the game... It's odd. I check the HH Showcase but no new houses showed up... My friend told me that it may be a letter from Nintendo, but I didn't get one of those either (even though all of my villagers have been talking about Pete a lot today).

What is it? I'm really curious and I'm most likely missing something that's quite obvious.

Do you have more than one player? It might be where you haven't gotten the letter for that character.

Nope. I only got one character so far.

When there is a green flashing dot, is there anyone waiting after Digby takes you up the stairs? If there is, it could just be someone you have streetpassed before (they should have a gift for you). Their house would just be the newest version. If the light is blue, that means it is spotpass. That would be a house in the Showcase or a letter from Nintendo, but it could also mean that someone went to your Dream Town. Ask Luna about that when you first walk into the Dream Suite.
Do you streetpass alot? Do you have people waiting in your Mii Plaza?

It's a green dot.

I went to Luna and she said I had 20 people who visited my dream town while yesterday I had 19, so maybe that's it? I streetpass a couple of my friends every day at school since I bring my DS to count my steps, but none of them have this game.

Did you get this month's free gift from the post office?

Yep! It was the sprout table, right?

Yep! Hrm, I thought that might have been the cause of your light. I'm not sure! :c

Well, it seems to be gone now. o: Maybe it was the dream suite thing? Somebody did visit my dream town so maybe that was it~ I didn't know that they notified you of it though.

The light goes away when you Save & Quit even if you didn't do whatever caused the light to start.
They do notify you with a blue light when someone has vitsited your dream town. I have 2 games and one gets a few visits every week, but my other town doesn't. So I visit the other town thru the Dream Suite so my dream code doesn't get deleted. When you go to update your town that is when Luna tells you how many total have visited.

No one visits my dream town. Only I do ;-; . Weird that it happens though. The blue dot appears for no reason
