What was the point of removing the hybrid islands..

Yeah, I suppose in context it's not really a big loss since most people don't go island tours regularly if not villager hunting. I guess if I'd never seen it before I wouldn't have felt the loss either, but having seen it now it feels kinda weird for them to be removing content rather than adding to the experience

Wow, if this is true then it makes me feel like between this and the nerfing of the scorpion & tarantula spawn rates they want islands to be bland, useless, and almost entirely a waste of time to go to if you have 10 villagers... I’m scared of scorpions and spiders but I used to go to the islands to collect flowers when I was just starting and was so excited when I actually got a hybrid windflower island, because it was something I needed that incentivized going even though I wouldn’t see any villagers. Now I don’t see any point because the selection of islands was already so small even with the hybrid islands, they were already kinda boring lol. I just?? don’t understand this??
nintentoe can b a meanie

yeah, my 10 current villagers aren’t all permanent so i will be going back to hunt for new ones at some point but it’s honestly gonna feel less exciting having to hop through tons of islands without ever seeing that beautiful hybrid windflower island! i had really been hoping they’d add more types of islands, not remove existing onesomg a a a a a A A AA a thank you thats makes me so happy to hear even though i've been complete arse at updating lately
they could kick me or punch me tho and id still say thank you tho

Oh wow, I really hope this isn’t true. Unlike the bug and interest nerfs (which I still don’t agree with) hybrid islands added no monetary gain to an offline player. Even if they did, why remove them? I swear, I’ve never been a fan of update models in games to begin with (release a finished product to start!!!!!), but I hate them even more now that features are being outright removed. If it weren’t for substantial content missing from the game I’d be tempted to just avoid updates all together at this rate.
For the last week I've been thinking this was the case that they removed hybrid islands. I've done at least 800+ islands during that time on villager hunts, and I've seen a friend do a couple hundred as well. Combined that with watching random twitch streamers on massive hunts for Judy / Lolly, and I haven't seen one hybrid island at all since the last update.
Compared with before where I'd usually find a hybrid island once every 50-75 tickets. Such a dumb move by Nintendo. I feel like for some reason something they added in the last patch puts a blocker on the hybrid islands instead of them purposely removing them. It could just be an(other) error from them. If it's intentional, it really seems like the most unnecessary thing they could possibly have done.

You know, initially I was actually happy with the update model since I liked the feeling of being surprised by new updates without TT spoiling it for me. It made me feel like I could play this game for a lot longer than I did in New Leaf. However, now with all these constant patches that (I think) are intended to stop TT-ers and online markets from profiting, it just feels like they're hurting the average player instead and I'm starting to get annoyed :/

That's sound like some pretty strong observational evidence there.. ): Maaan if I had knew I would've wasted all my NMT before 1.2.0 so I could still get hybrid islands lol
I haven't seen any hard info on yet, but assuming this is the case, I wonder if nintendo's thoughts aren't that the hybrid islands were just meant to jumpstart community hybreeding, and now that there's a ton of hybrid flowers in circulation, they don't serve a purpose anymore

I hope they bring it back if anything because personally I've never gotten to the hybrid island yet!!! Without trading for nmts its basically a nuisance to get more than probably 50 nmts overall throughout the game thus far anyways for me personally just because I dont trade for nmt=》 my connection is horrible. And i dont really like doing random chores for nmps... I've only gone to the island about 15 times and I only have 10 nmts left now I'm stuck doing chores for a pathway... anyways I feel like the decision to add all these updates has coincidally made for a BUNCH more of random glitches hacks and aspects of the game like dupes which arent necessarily the most positive... definetely makes the game more "interesting".. >_>

This explains so much. I have only been to hybrid island once when I was first starting the game. I took some orange roses with me to plant on my island. Later on I sold them all to Timmy & Tommy because I am so poor lol...only to find out that those orange roses were from hybrid island. Ever since finding out, I have been using my nmts to try to go back and I never did see that island again. Farewell my chances of ever obtaining a blue rose lol 
Nintendo...why?? Why remove hybrid island but not patch all the glitches instead? Haven't we been punished enough lol.

If this is true I’m quite disappointed. I had yet to see one, and have been looking forward to it ever since I heard about them being in the game. I don’t think I would’ve even taken many with me to begin with—I just wanted to experience the novelty in person ~.~

it izz what it izz
I feel like they’re beginning to limit us :-( the scorpion/tarantula island and now this? Why do they care so much? It makes us happy. I guess people are taking advantage but it’s not THAT bad.

OMG this is so funny because i literally just visited your island! but i had to go with my main character... how hilarious would it be if i arrived as my taeyong character :'D
Mystery Islands are free to go to, you don’t need a Nintendo subscription; but you know what does need a Nintendo sub? Multiplayer. Making the islands not worth going to will push people to want to interact online more(to get what they need, like hybrid flowers). This is the only reason I could think of as to why they would do this
