Before I played New Horizons, I saw a lot of people talking about “Tarantula Islands.” I had limited knowledge about the AC series in general, so I was confident that a “Tarantula Island” was a variant of the island that I thought you were randomly assigned when you started the game. I thought when people were “trying for tarantula island” it meant they were continuously resetting until there were tarantulas galore. I was really confused when I tuned into CrankGameplays’ livestream and he wasn’t doing just that lmao.
I used to think people were setting up their islands to get higher tarantula spawn rates before playing ACNH (or any animal crossing game, for that matter.)
In the Wild World tutorial, Tom Nook makess you write a letter to a random villager. As long as you don't send the letter (and thus don't complete the tutorial), the villager cannot move out - that's what I heard years ago and that's how I kept my favourite villager forever.
Very interesting to see the "you have to mash A to catch the fish" myth because as a child I thought "if you pressed A more than once you'd retract the bobber and un-catch the fish". I know it's not true but it's funny how I had the opposite interpretation
I had the mash A belief for a while when I first got into Animal Crossing New Horizons, because that's how it works in other games with fishing from my experience. I was happy when I found out it wasn't the case
I'm sad you didn't cover the "you can marry a villager" hoax for wild world because it said that you need the bride and groom outfits and I remember desperately trying to get both bc it was really hard to get if you didn't play online.
Omg i remember that one so vividly lol that was wild Also the one where you were supposed to get pregnant after smashing into each other several times on the double bed in multiplayer??
when i was playing acww back in, like, 2011, i decided to stay in the able sisters store past their closing hours. i think i may have encountered placeholder dialogue, because i had full friendship with sable but all she would say is "um... who are you?" over and over again. i haven't seen this dialogue since
Not really a myth I guess but when I played Animal Crossing GCN at like age 8 I wanted to marry Fang but my mom said I couldn't because we were both boys which made me think I needed to make a girl character so I did and I spent countless hours trying to woo him including but not limited to a letter that offered him to come over and eat cookies with my girlsona named Jonathan. Core memory.
6:09 I've been mashing the A button since I first started playing Animal Crossing during the GameCube era because my tiny child brain interpreted the "press the A button quickly to catch the fish" instructions as "mash the A button to catch the fish"
When I was a kid, I lived with my grandparents and my grandmother had an entire binder that was a printed walk-through of animal crossing to get every type of flower, cross breed, all of the codes for every single furniture item, etc. I used to use the codes all the time because for whatever reason 10-year-old me loved the kiddie furniture, but it was always so funny looking back on it to realize that my grandma made herself an entire walk-through.
There’s something so wholesome about the myths so many people had about animal crossing games. Like it was a hallmark of childhood. My first AC game was ACNH and I was already almost out of college during its release, but I love that so many other people have these memories to keep with them.
partially because the internet was so much different back in the day. so many different sources plus the naivety of being young led to believing some crazy stuff!
When I was in my peak of playing New Leaf, I saw this thing listed on all the wikis and stuff that said that if you sent a good letter (yknow, the villager sees it as positive and friendly) to a villager the opposite gender of your character on Valentine's Day, and I think you had to have high friendship with them too, they'd send you a box of chocolates in return. This was listed in reputable places, and it sounded like something Nintendo would actually do, so I just assumed it was true, but I never actually managed to make it work.
there was this one video i saw that said you could marry isabelle and gave a step by step guide 😭 i believed it and tried so hard but it really just tricked me into progressing the game more lol
A rumor I remember hearing back in the New Leaf days is that your villagers have a better chance of asking you to build a new public work's project if you swim out in the ocean for several minutes, and then talk to them when they run up to you. I don't know how true it is, but I did that and my villagers finally asked for the police station.
this is like half true? it didn't increase your chances to for them to request public work projects, it increased your chances of having a villager ping and run up to you. you get public work project requests from these pings so it was turned in a way of farming requests but it didn't guarantee you'd get one from it. to further increase your odds make sure you have an empty wallet and to fill your pockets with flowers. this narrows down the set of questions they can ask you as they won't be able to try to trade with you, offer sales or gift you items which can help speed the process out. i forget why the ocean was picked for this but i believe it was something to do with render distance and you wouldn't be in the villagers line of sight. no idea how true that last part is tho
it's true as far as they ping you. I know if you have your pockets full of flowers, its a higher chance they ask you for PWP because they can't give you something and they can't take anything from you.
I’ve always wondered what villagers say after you encounter them on a friends island after they moved out of your island, or what they say when two friends have the same villager. ☺️ love the videos!
As someone who used to get their plots filled with my brother's old villagers, they kinda just say "hey i moved from this island, do you remember me?" or something like that, its cute honestly!
My friend and i used to have the same villager (lionel, from the first campsite) and he would just say the normal dialogue like “hey im lionel oh youre from (island)? Cool” it was pretty sad tbh
This isn't what you were asking but it's related: I met one of my villagers, Ed, on a dream island and he said something along the lines of "Really?! Running into you here? What's next? Everything I touch turns to gold?" So I wonder if that also applies to a friend's dream island if you have the same villager...
@@kattheneeko omg that has always been a goal of mine, to do a random dream and find one of my previous villagers. it would be much easier to visit the dream address of someone you know for sure has your old villager
i cant say for new horizons since i've never had a villager move to a friend's island, but i can tell you what happens in new leaf: they will remember you! and you can talk to them and they might bring up memories from when they were living with you in your town. a villager moving to a friend's town in that game is very difficult though because you have to had played with that friend online before or ran with them through streetpass, but it can happen!
Years ago I convinced my little sister that using an axe on a villager would give them a… ah… involuntary neck surgery. I recently found out she’s still paranoid about her axe usage. Whoops…
Oh my gosh I thought I was the only person who had ever heard the “weeds don’t grow back if you dig them up” rumor. I figured it was untrue but nice to have confirmation of that, lol. Great video!
The fruit mail thing must be related to friendship bc I followed a UA-cam tutorial that promised exotic fruit you you typed in "How are you?" EXACTLY. grammar had to be PERFECT. I never tested if any other phrase would work and I always got fruit back and a lovely letter from my villager 😊
I remember the phrase being "want to trade fruit?" And then sending them fruit. It didn't work. Though I have sent "How are you" and received some really good fruit. Not sure if that was a coincidence or not.
More educational AC vids!! Especially with the older titles I found it difficult to tell apart truths and false information, so it was an interesting throwback, especially some most of the City Folk myths I had heard at some point Great job on testing/showing so many of the myths, especially from the older games
@@Dagnel I can only imagine. Makes the effort even greater and it’s much appreciated you confirmed and debunked so many of the misconceptions and myths from the previous titles! (As well as the newest one of course)
About the letter thing preventing a villager from moving out, I got to test that twice. In City Folk, Nana (one of my fave villagers) was in boxes randomly without asking recently about moving out. I was shocked (and cried like a baby, as one stable adult does) and I visited her with all the characters I had and it made no difference. I sent her a letter while she was in boxes. The next day, she was still there and in boxes. I sent her another letter, it did the same thing. I think she lasted 2 or 3 days in her boxes because of the letters. She would not write me back but I assume the mail delivery was a glitch and made her stay longer. It happened a few weeks ago with Poppy, she lasted two days in boxes because I was sending her letters. They still moved out but rather than just disappear after 1 box day, they stayed a little longer! This video was so fun! Resetti used to be so savage, the threat of deleting your save file is so horrible! 😆
this is one i found out about recently by chance-- when you visit an island's dream address in acnh, if they have a villager that you also have currently on your island (has to live there currently, they can't have moved out/lived there in the past), if you talk to them, they recognize that they're in a dream and they know who you are. it's really cool! i ran into shep and i talked to him in the DA, and he said "oh wow funny running into you here! but it is indeed the same ol' me! i mean...it's my evil twin!" i think, similar to villager dialogue in general, what they say changes slightly depending on whether they're walking around or in their house in the dream.
I've seen the whale! For years I thought I was just misremembering things, but I have seen a massive fish shadow in the first game! I went to the island a whole lot, so I guess there was a decent chance I'd see it at some point.
12:02: Your shovel's durability actually decreases when you get materials / bells from hitting rocks, but it cannot break this way. It will simply reach 0 and break the next time you dig a hole / hit a rock that doesn't loot anything, meaning you can keep 1 shovel for extracting rock materials forever, as it will never break as long as you use it for getting rock materials I think the developpers made the shovel work this way because breaking your shovel while getting rock materials would be quite annoying as you have to hit rocks quickly to get more materials, but they also made it decrease the durability as it wouldn't make sense otherwise
One of my favourite "myths" I heard about animal crossing growing up was the one where in Wild World, if you hit a shovel against tom nook's shop late at night enough times he would wake up and let you inside to shop, complete with him being extra sleepy and wearing a nightgown. Pretty sure I also remembered being told that items had their prices increased during this, too. I always thought it was fake because I tried it myself and it never worked... But it turns out that it's apparently only something that can happen in Japanese copies of Animal Forest..? Not sure about the specifics, but it is pretty funny that something that sounded so much like a childhood rumor ended up being true... just in a completely different, japan-exclusive animal crossing game.
for the ACNH shovel one, i thought it would never break while you're farming a rock, but it CAN after you hit the rock for the last time (your 7th or 8th one, depends on how quick you were) always love seeing a new video from you 🥰 i started working on getting my ACNH island's weather seed after your zodiac items video haha
On a related note, in NH, fishing rods and nets are immortal during fishing and bug tourneys respectively. You still use up their durability, but so long as you don't use them outside rounds or get caught in the "showing off what I just caught" animation as the round ends, you can technically use one flimsy tool for the entire day and it won't break
I'm so happy my comment got featured! I've been a fan of the channel for months and I've been listening to your challenge videos and livestream archives while I draw ever since I found your channel. I cant even count the times I've listened to almost all your challenge videos over the months while drawing at this point. (There are only a very select few youtubers that I will listen to while drawing, too!) Your videos got me back into ACNH, after a long time, as well! I love your work and I can't wait to see more!
The items in the last myth correspond with what nook miles plus item variations you get in your nook-stop. Theres guides you can find that show which options correspond with what variation you get
When i was a kid I remember reading on some Animal Crossing City Folk wiki that if you got bit by a Tarantula everybody would hate you for the rest of the day. Pretty sure it's not true, but figured I'd bring this up.
for new leaf i've heard a lot of people theorise that wendell was supposed to be the original mayor, but he fell asleep on the same train ride as the player and got stuck in the dream realm, which is why with the exception of the campground you only find him while visiting dream towns, but i think this is less of a myth/theory and more just people's imaginations running wild lmao
I'd heard something about shoveling weeds too, but it was that it just makes it take longer for them to grow back. I think that was back during the Game Cube days that I'd heard that, and it's just always stuck with me
if you haven't already, could you do a video on the best way to get rid of unwanted villagers? I see a lot of conflicting information online so it'd be nice to have an actual source for it
I messed up my A button on my first 3DS due to my constant panic pressing for fishing. I figured out it was only one press after playing ACNL for 3,000 hours. I wasn’t sure why I thought you had to keep pressing it on every version of the game, pretty nice to know for sure though. It sometimes a habit I have.
I didn't expect my random, vague memory of a random, false fact my sibling told me roughly 10 years ago to actually end up in this video (I sent it as a throwaway thinking it wasn't significant enough to end up in the video)! Now that I know that eating a perfect fruit doesn't even help with the wasp stings, I wonder where they got that idea from. Maybe I should ask them next time I get the chance. Great video, by the way! I also now know that I don't have to worry about my shovel breaking when using it to get materials from rocks, which is nice.
Someone modded the whale to spawn in a catchable location, it turns into an arapaima (because the whales ID is 38 and arapaima is 37) and welcomes you to the able sisters (probably cause there isn’t any dialogue assigned to it)
Defo a myth from city folk, me and my cousins used to play it when we were young and because none of us fully maxed out our house debts they made me believe that the final payment connected tunnels underneath their houses. Think it probably just spawned from the basement upgrades but I totally believed they all had interconnected houses, especially because I was the only player in my own town 😅
In ACNH visiting islands with your favourite villager and then talking to them can increase the chance of them ending up in your autorefill queue. This is what I heard not too long ago, but i'm not sure if thats how that works.
First AC game was LGTTC. I was probably around 5 years old when I started playing, no way of telling how old I was when I sent this letter but I was probably between 6 and 8. I have this vivid memory of sending a letter to Walker with a sprinkler as a gift, and writing a heartfelt message along the lines of “I’m sending a letter to ONLY YOU because you are my best friend.” In my memory I got a letter back saying “Wow, is it true that you’re writing to only me?” and for years I didn’t question that at all, until I realised the villager AI definitely did not have that capability.
i never did the button smashing when catching a fish but what i did do was move the key pad or joystick depending on the game because i was convinced it'd help guide the bobber where i wanted it to go after i casted the line. that for sure is a complete myth but it's still something i do instinctively as it just feels correct to me.
I remember reading that in the original AC on Gamecube if you had a high enough relationship with opposite gender villagers when Valentines day came they would send you a love letter. The amount of HARRASSMENT I put my poor cranky villagers through trying to get one 😭😭
I have been trying this thing where I will always talk to a villager on a nook mile island and wait for the option to invite them to my island and then say no. (I also turn the campfire off for good measure.) I haven't gotten a duplicate after doing that yet, but maybe I have just been lucky.
I don't know where I got this idea from but for a long time I thought that if you get stung by wasp while your face is puffy the game will punish you and not let you play for the rest of the day
I remember - at least, i'm fairly certain I did this many times - that in wild world, if you sent furniture to a villager that was packed up to move, they'd be back to normal the next day because they had to place the furniture they received? a regular letter/one without furniture wouldnt work, it had to be something they would place in their house. I'm starting to wonder if I'm remembering wrong, but I'm almost positive this was a trick I did to keep my faves from going when I couldnt convince them to stay myself. i wonder if the unsent at 1:00 was talking about that 🤔 I also never knew until VERY recently that you didn't have to mash or hold A for the fish. blew my mind lol. and I'd heard, also in wild world days, that simply mailing fruit of your home town to a villager would increase your chances of getting the out of town fruit, but no mention of having to say anything specific. I probably did still use the word "Fruit" in my letters though, and i think I had a mixed success rate lol
This is a question I have for people who have made their dream address for Animal Crossing New Horizons. Is it true that you can have campsite villagers show up in your dream address? I am curious because I got a Raymond Amibo card and I think it would be cool to see him on my island, but I don't want to kick anyone out. I don't know if anyone's proven this or not. Also, I think it would be cool to see Dagnel do this if he wants.
i was definitely convinced holding down A while reeling in a fish in new leaf was required for a LONG time. i genuinely dont know where i assumed this from, but one day i tried just tapping A and that worked fine lolz
I believe the flower you get is actually connected to your birth month! Each month has three different possibilities, if I recall correctly. I have a February birthday, and I’ve only ever seen windflowers, pansies, or hyacinths as my native flower.
Should you ever do another one of these, im not sure if this is actually a thing or not, but in Animal Crossing Wild World, if you reset too many times, you will have to write an apology to Resetti and if you spell it wrong you have to do it again, i vividly remember this happening to me cause it took me like an hour to write the correct thing.
I suppose the "is breaking rocks faster for farming gold nuggets" question really depends on how fast you can spawn new rocks. Sure, breaking a rock has double the odds to drop a gold nugget compared to a hit, but you can hit a rock 8 times. With 1 break, you have a 2% chance to get 1 gold nugget, but within 8 hits, you have an ~7.7% chance to get (at least) 1 gold nugget. Personally, I think the sheer quantity of 1% chances compared to 2% chances on any given Nook Miles Island makes hitting rocks more effective (and would make me feel more "efficient", lol), but it really depends on how fast you can do either option. The REAL question is: Can you get a gold nugget from a rock you've already hit 8 times?
ACNH - A myth I heard and I swear I found proof for a couple years ago was that the birthday that you put in for your character affects what fruit and flowers were native to your island. I remember being annoyed that everytime I reset I almost always got roses, and according to the proof I swear I remember finding somewhere, roses were attributed to June.
5:59 I've gotta admit, I've been mashing A when catching a fish for YEARS. Now, I know it doesn't do anything... but atill, that's the thrill of fish catching! Mashing A just makes you feel like you're actually doing something, putting in more effort to catch the fish. It's like an unwritten rule everyone thought about.
Video Idea: Idk if there are any mods out there that give you every DIY and Recipe available. If not, then this idea is irrelevant. The challenge would be for you to craft and cook every singe item in ACNH. The challenge isn‘t easy because of the materials you need, but also not too hard because you don‘t have to collect every DIY yourself.
I've had him fail to show up when I simply had my gates open, even when I didn't have any visitors at the time, so I sincerely doubt it. This isn't a one-time experience either
the what item would you bring dialogue is actually so funny to me. everybody expected it to do something because thats what ac does with seemingly pointless dialogues and then it just. was a straight up pointless dialogue
The starting flowers acctually match your birth month (and hemisphere) It’s not 100% that one flower though, I think it’s 1 of 3 if I’m right That’s why I always get the same kind of flower when I reset the island
I imagine the New Leaf Petaltail Dragonfly myth came from some distorted memories of Chuggaconroy's playthrough of New Leaf a few years back. It was the last bug he needed and he needed to go to someone else's town that was set to a different time of the year in order to snag one. Not easier from what I recall but easier than it being flat out not available
it's partially true because even just having your gates open will stop certain bugs from spawning like wasps, tarantulas and scorpions; it doesn't flat out increase its spawn% directly since it is a rare bug, but it does free up those spawn slots so there's a slightly higher chance of it showing up
In City Folk, Resetti does fake you out if you reset too many times. It scared me so much as a kid when it happened, and it was definitely CF as I've never played the GC version
in ACNL, there was a bug in multiplayer that made you able to push/throw another player on the train tracks. I remember doing this with my cousins but now i don't know if it's a memory or a medala effect
Omg, I tried SO HARD to get into redd's, Katrina's, and Ressetti's place in CF. I got into Redd's ONCE! He didn't turn on the lights tho, and kicked me out when he figured out I heard the secret code from another villager
2:30 my sister and I had this same problem. Since we had no means of finding guides for the game, I never learned what it was and why it was there until years later
Felt this, but pressing the A button instead (also on City Folk though.) I have to wonder why so many of us had that idea stuck in our heads. Where did it come from? Did it simply seem like the more intuitive thing to do given the game controls? Idk lol
In Wild World I use to have a villager that was also sick no matter how much medicine I gave them and later I asked about it online and someone said that they had “depression”. Basically their personality clashed with too many other villagers making them sad and lonely. I keep looking online and the “forever sick villager” was fairly common but everyone just cheats and opens their gates to cure them lmao
My brother used to religiously play animal crossing gamecube and he told me if you have a bee sting and laid in a bed I'll eventually go away after awhile. I never got it to work but he swears by it.
I always thought that choosing what do you want to take with you in acnh matters for what you’ll get in your first mother’s letter that’s why I always pick “some food” to get a new fruit but perhaps it doesn’t really matter at all?
@@DagnelSomeone else said that it affected the color variations you got of the Nook Stop items? Really I just want to know why the heck they ask that and if it has any bearing on the game itself 😅
Ok, ive never heard this happening to anyone else, but i can SWEAR my first animal crossing gamecube's able sisters shop times were 1am-11pm. Is this a bug or is it actually a super duper rare thing
I don't know why but when I was younger my brother convinced me you could overthrow the government in a long and lengthy process. The worst part is I only realised he was capping recently
I once heard that your birthmonth and month in which you start your game decide what flowers (maybe even fruit?) first appear native on your island. I have no idea if that's true, I don't think so, but who knows
SAME I reset for ages trying to get a good map with a blue airport to match the theme I was planning on, I'm glad I didn't particularly care about starting villagers or fruit because I would have made myself even sadder lmao
i remember my sister telling me that in WW if you sent shells to a villager, you'd only get furniture back. I remember it working but i don't know if it was a coincidence or not. i know it's not as cool as other myths or whatever but, it'd be interesting to try out if you do this again!
I'd sometimes put out the campfires during a villager hunt... but never once heard of that rumour regarding doing that stunt to prevent the villager showing up again! to be honest I did it to a villager I don't like so much just to be a savage XD
I would imagine a Petaltail Dragonfly would be easier to find in multiplayer. Not necessarily because of some hidden mechanic, but rather *any* fish, bug, etc would be more easily found with several players wandering the town as opposed to just one.
I don't know about all the games, but in New Horizons there are absolutely keywords they look for in letters. I thanked villagers for coming to my birthday party and they reacted as if I had gone to THEIRS.
I have a couple for New Leaf from when I was a kid: 1. The internet told me that marriage is a feature in AC:NL. As a 10 year old kid I never tried it because I was like wtf why would I want to marry an animal as a human lmao. But to this day I still can't find a definite answer, but I'm gonna guess it's a myth. 2. Something I THOUGHT was a myth but is actually REAL: Having the option to sell your town for bells that would roll over to your next playthrough. I never tried it, but I swore it was bullshit until I googled it lol
I remember seeing a video on UA-cam where someone went into the “dressing room” in the marquee and they said you had to see them perform a specific emotion to get in. Tried for days to get it to work but 10 year old me didn’t know any better lol
I feel like more could've been done to "myth bust" Like i like the ones where you leave no room for doubt, but some other ones just feel like you go "idk moving on" and don't even try.
Okay i gotta know cuz i have a vivid memory of this Did any of the ds games have pollution? Cuz i remember watching my friend play and his town had a sickly green sky and the grass was really dry/desaturated Genuinely looked like a fallout game. I think tons of his trees were cut down too
I have a vivid memory of finding fake art in Animal Crossing: Population Growing. Forgeries do not exist in any of the GCN games, and I didn't even _know_ this 'til I found Dag's vidoes a week or two ago. I remember digging up art a villager buried, and I attempted donating it to Blathers. Blathers, instead of the "Oh, that's nice, but we only accept [insert categories] as donations," remarked that it was fake and returned it to me. Nook treated it like trash when I tried to sell it. The thing is, I only grew up with GCN. I didn't play another Animal Crossing until about a year after New Leaf came out. I had no prior knowledge of forgeries in the other games, and only had experience of the obvious forgeries in New Leaf. I've never had such a ridiculously vivid false memory. The funny thing is I also associate this day with the only time I'd found a Ruby Echno chair in Animal Crossing. I've found one in E+, but I still have that first Ruby chair in the oldest town our family still has.
That if your trying to get to three or five stars in ACNH if you put the furniture in giant clumps of items it can actually decrease your score instead of boosting it, never actually tried it though, ps keep up the good work with the vids!

I thought when people were “trying for tarantula island” it meant they were continuously resetting until there were tarantulas galore.

When I was a kid, I lived with my grandparents and my grandmother had an entire binder that was a printed walk-through of animal crossing to get every type of flower, cross breed, all of the codes for every single furniture item, etc. I used to use the codes all the time because for whatever reason 10-year-old me loved the kiddie furniture, but it was always so funny looking back on it to realize that my grandma made herself an entire walk-through.
that’s so wholesome 😭
This is literally the god of animal crossing
Yup
Factual
true dagnel for God 2024
real
Ceomg is good too
There’s something so wholesome about the myths so many people had about animal crossing games. Like it was a hallmark of childhood.
My first AC game was ACNH and I was already almost out of college during its release, but I love that so many other people have these memories to keep with them.
partially because the internet was so much different back in the day. so many different sources plus the naivety of being young led to believing some crazy stuff!
When I was in my peak of playing New Leaf, I saw this thing listed on all the wikis and stuff that said that if you sent a good letter (yknow, the villager sees it as positive and friendly) to a villager the opposite gender of your character on Valentine's Day, and I think you had to have high friendship with them too, they'd send you a box of chocolates in return. This was listed in reputable places, and it sounded like something Nintendo would actually do, so I just assumed it was true, but I never actually managed to make it work.
there was this one video i saw that said you could marry isabelle and gave a step by step guide 😭 i believed it and tried so hard but it really just tricked me into progressing the game more lol
@@rainboSnails Tried so hard?
@@caramowol and got so far?
But in the end?
this is true, one of my villagers sent me a box of chocolate on valentines day
A rumor I remember hearing back in the New Leaf days is that your villagers have a better chance of asking you to build a new public work's project if you swim out in the ocean for several minutes, and then talk to them when they run up to you. I don't know how true it is, but I did that and my villagers finally asked for the police station.
this is like half true? it didn't increase your chances to for them to request public work projects, it increased your chances of having a villager ping and run up to you. you get public work project requests from these pings so it was turned in a way of farming requests but it didn't guarantee you'd get one from it. to further increase your odds make sure you have an empty wallet and to fill your pockets with flowers. this narrows down the set of questions they can ask you as they won't be able to try to trade with you, offer sales or gift you items which can help speed the process out. i forget why the ocean was picked for this but i believe it was something to do with render distance and you wouldn't be in the villagers line of sight. no idea how true that last part is tho
it's true as far as they ping you. I know if you have your pockets full of flowers, its a higher chance they ask you for PWP because they can't give you something and they can't take anything from you.
DAGNEL DAGNEL DAGNEL HYPEEEE!!!! Markiplier may be the King of FNAF but Dagnel is the KING OF ANIMAL CROSSING.
I’ve always wondered what villagers say after you encounter them on a friends island after they moved out of your island, or what they say when two friends have the same villager. ☺️ love the videos!
As someone who used to get their plots filled with my brother's old villagers, they kinda just say "hey i moved from this island, do you remember me?" or something like that, its cute honestly!
My friend and i used to have the same villager (lionel, from the first campsite) and he would just say the normal dialogue like “hey im lionel oh youre from (island)? Cool” it was pretty sad tbh
This isn't what you were asking but it's related: I met one of my villagers, Ed, on a dream island and he said something along the lines of "Really?! Running into you here? What's next? Everything I touch turns to gold?" So I wonder if that also applies to a friend's dream island if you have the same villager...
@@kattheneeko omg that has always been a goal of mine, to do a random dream and find one of my previous villagers. it would be much easier to visit the dream address of someone you know for sure has your old villager
i cant say for new horizons since i've never had a villager move to a friend's island, but i can tell you what happens in new leaf: they will remember you! and you can talk to them and they might bring up memories from when they were living with you in your town. a villager moving to a friend's town in that game is very difficult though because you have to had played with that friend online before or ran with them through streetpass, but it can happen!
Years ago I convinced my little sister that using an axe on a villager would give them a… ah… involuntary neck surgery. I recently found out she’s still paranoid about her axe usage. Whoops…
She was afraid of giving her villagers a "Swedish haircut" 🤣
Oh my gosh I thought I was the only person who had ever heard the “weeds don’t grow back if you dig them up” rumor. I figured it was untrue but nice to have confirmation of that, lol. Great video!
thank you!
The fruit mail thing must be related to friendship bc I followed a UA-cam tutorial that promised exotic fruit you you typed in "How are you?" EXACTLY. grammar had to be PERFECT. I never tested if any other phrase would work and I always got fruit back and a lovely letter from my villager 😊
I remember the phrase being "want to trade fruit?" And then sending them fruit. It didn't work. Though I have sent "How are you" and received some really good fruit. Not sure if that was a coincidence or not.
@@Twinklethefox9022 not me still doing this in ACWW omg
More educational AC vids!!
Especially with the older titles I found it difficult to tell apart truths and false information, so it was an interesting throwback, especially some most of the City Folk myths I had heard at some point
Great job on testing/showing so many of the myths, especially from the older games
More difficult because there was so much conflicting info online, even moreso than today. And thank you!
@@Dagnel I can only imagine.
Makes the effort even greater and it’s much appreciated you confirmed and debunked so many of the misconceptions and myths from the previous titles! (As well as the newest one of course)
About the letter thing preventing a villager from moving out, I got to test that twice. In City Folk, Nana (one of my fave villagers) was in boxes randomly without asking recently about moving out. I was shocked (and cried like a baby, as one stable adult does) and I visited her with all the characters I had and it made no difference. I sent her a letter while she was in boxes. The next day, she was still there and in boxes. I sent her another letter, it did the same thing. I think she lasted 2 or 3 days in her boxes because of the letters. She would not write me back but I assume the mail delivery was a glitch and made her stay longer. It happened a few weeks ago with Poppy, she lasted two days in boxes because I was sending her letters. They still moved out but rather than just disappear after 1 box day, they stayed a little longer!
This video was so fun! Resetti used to be so savage, the threat of deleting your save file is so horrible! 😆
Literally S tier video- I'd watch 10 more hours of things like this without hesitation!
this is one i found out about recently by chance--
when you visit an island's dream address in acnh, if they have a villager that you also have currently on your island (has to live there currently, they can't have moved out/lived there in the past), if you talk to them, they recognize that they're in a dream and they know who you are. it's really cool!
i ran into shep and i talked to him in the DA, and he said "oh wow funny running into you here! but it is indeed the same ol' me! i mean...it's my evil twin!"
i think, similar to villager dialogue in general, what they say changes slightly depending on whether they're walking around or in their house in the dream.
I've seen the whale! For years I thought I was just misremembering things, but I have seen a massive fish shadow in the first game! I went to the island a whole lot, so I guess there was a decent chance I'd see it at some point.
12:02:
Your shovel's durability actually decreases when you get materials / bells from hitting rocks, but it cannot break this way. It will simply reach 0 and break the next time you dig a hole / hit a rock that doesn't loot anything, meaning you can keep 1 shovel for extracting rock materials forever, as it will never break as long as you use it for getting rock materials
I think the developpers made the shovel work this way because breaking your shovel while getting rock materials would be quite annoying as you have to hit rocks quickly to get more materials, but they also made it decrease the durability as it wouldn't make sense otherwise
One of my favourite "myths" I heard about animal crossing growing up was the one where in Wild World, if you hit a shovel against tom nook's shop late at night enough times he would wake up and let you inside to shop, complete with him being extra sleepy and wearing a nightgown. Pretty sure I also remembered being told that items had their prices increased during this, too.
I always thought it was fake because I tried it myself and it never worked... But it turns out that it's apparently only something that can happen in Japanese copies of Animal Forest..? Not sure about the specifics, but it is pretty funny that something that sounded so much like a childhood rumor ended up being true... just in a completely different, japan-exclusive animal crossing game.
for the ACNH shovel one, i thought it would never break while you're farming a rock, but it CAN after you hit the rock for the last time (your 7th or 8th one, depends on how quick you were)
always love seeing a new video from you 🥰 i started working on getting my ACNH island's weather seed after your zodiac items video haha
On a related note, in NH, fishing rods and nets are immortal during fishing and bug tourneys respectively. You still use up their durability, but so long as you don't use them outside rounds or get caught in the "showing off what I just caught" animation as the round ends, you can technically use one flimsy tool for the entire day and it won't break
I'm so happy my comment got featured! I've been a fan of the channel for months and I've been listening to your challenge videos and livestream archives while I draw ever since I found your channel. I cant even count the times I've listened to almost all your challenge videos over the months while drawing at this point. (There are only a very select few youtubers that I will listen to while drawing, too!)
Your videos got me back into ACNH, after a long time, as well!
I love your work and I can't wait to see more!
Thank you so much!
The items in the last myth correspond with what nook miles plus item variations you get in your nook-stop. Theres guides you can find that show which options correspond with what variation you get
When i was a kid I remember reading on some Animal Crossing City Folk wiki that if you got bit by a Tarantula everybody would hate you for the rest of the day. Pretty sure it's not true, but figured I'd bring this up.
for new leaf i've heard a lot of people theorise that wendell was supposed to be the original mayor, but he fell asleep on the same train ride as the player and got stuck in the dream realm, which is why with the exception of the campground you only find him while visiting dream towns, but i think this is less of a myth/theory and more just people's imaginations running wild lmao
I figure that if you think about it hard enough, you could theorize that ANYONE could've been the mayor
@@Dagnel mayor punchy (real)
I just assumed it was Rover or the old turtle man who's name I can't spell
@@Clouditivity Tortimer?
I'd heard something about shoveling weeds too, but it was that it just makes it take longer for them to grow back. I think that was back during the Game Cube days that I'd heard that, and it's just always stuck with me
if you haven't already, could you do a video on the best way to get rid of unwanted villagers? I see a lot of conflicting information online so it'd be nice to have an actual source for it
I messed up my A button on my first 3DS due to my constant panic pressing for fishing. I figured out it was only one press after playing ACNL for 3,000 hours. I wasn’t sure why I thought you had to keep pressing it on every version of the game, pretty nice to know for sure though. It sometimes a habit I have.
About the city folk fish one, I used to think you had to hold A on new horizons to catch a fish, but you only need to press it.
yep, save your thumbs!
FOR REAL!?
Hehe same actually
I didn't expect my random, vague memory of a random, false fact my sibling told me roughly 10 years ago to actually end up in this video (I sent it as a throwaway thinking it wasn't significant enough to end up in the video)! Now that I know that eating a perfect fruit doesn't even help with the wasp stings, I wonder where they got that idea from. Maybe I should ask them next time I get the chance.
Great video, by the way! I also now know that I don't have to worry about my shovel breaking when using it to get materials from rocks, which is nice.
TY for the upload Dagnel :D - needed this today
The sheer unadulterated TERROR of hearing “the whale is real”
Someone modded the whale to spawn in a catchable location, it turns into an arapaima (because the whales ID is 38 and arapaima is 37) and welcomes you to the able sisters (probably cause there isn’t any dialogue assigned to it)
Idk why i just really like your voice i could honestly fall asleep to just you talking
I swear back at the start of ACNH Isabelle’s brother (Digby) used to do the news when “Isabelle was sick”
Defo a myth from city folk, me and my cousins used to play it when we were young and because none of us fully maxed out our house debts they made me believe that the final payment connected tunnels underneath their houses. Think it probably just spawned from the basement upgrades but I totally believed they all had interconnected houses, especially because I was the only player in my own town 😅
In ACNH visiting islands with your favourite villager and then talking to them can increase the chance of them ending up in your autorefill queue. This is what I heard not too long ago, but i'm not sure if thats how that works.
First AC game was LGTTC. I was probably around 5 years old when I started playing, no way of telling how old I was when I sent this letter but I was probably between 6 and 8.
I have this vivid memory of sending a letter to Walker with a sprinkler as a gift, and writing a heartfelt message along the lines of “I’m sending a letter to ONLY YOU because you are my best friend.” In my memory I got a letter back saying “Wow, is it true that you’re writing to only me?” and for years I didn’t question that at all, until I realised the villager AI definitely did not have that capability.
Just applaud Orville cus he’s cool
i never did the button smashing when catching a fish but what i did do was move the key pad or joystick depending on the game because i was convinced it'd help guide the bobber where i wanted it to go after i casted the line. that for sure is a complete myth but it's still something i do instinctively as it just feels correct to me.
I remember reading that in the original AC on Gamecube if you had a high enough relationship with opposite gender villagers when Valentines day came they would send you a love letter.
The amount of HARRASSMENT I put my poor cranky villagers through trying to get one 😭😭
I have been trying this thing where I will always talk to a villager on a nook mile island and wait for the option to invite them to my island and then say no. (I also turn the campfire off for good measure.) I haven't gotten a duplicate after doing that yet, but maybe I have just been lucky.
I don't know where I got this idea from but for a long time I thought that if you get stung by wasp while your face is puffy the game will punish you and not let you play for the rest of the day
I thought the same thing, but with tarantulas instead of wasps.
This video literally stayed at the top of my fy since he posted it. Okay UA-cam I’ll watch it you got me!
I remember - at least, i'm fairly certain I did this many times - that in wild world, if you sent furniture to a villager that was packed up to move, they'd be back to normal the next day because they had to place the furniture they received? a regular letter/one without furniture wouldnt work, it had to be something they would place in their house.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm remembering wrong, but I'm almost positive this was a trick I did to keep my faves from going when I couldnt convince them to stay myself. i wonder if the unsent at 1:00 was talking about that 🤔
I also never knew until VERY recently that you didn't have to mash or hold A for the fish. blew my mind lol. and I'd heard, also in wild world days, that simply mailing fruit of your home town to a villager would increase your chances of getting the out of town fruit, but no mention of having to say anything specific. I probably did still use the word "Fruit" in my letters though, and i think I had a mixed success rate lol
Dagnel educational videos! Plus side as well, I’ve got a lot of twitch to catch up on to see all this in action
This is a question I have for people who have made their dream address for Animal Crossing New Horizons. Is it true that you can have campsite villagers show up in your dream address? I am curious because I got a Raymond Amibo card and I think it would be cool to see him on my island, but I don't want to kick anyone out. I don't know if anyone's proven this or not. Also, I think it would be cool to see Dagnel do this if he wants.
i don’t think you can have campsite villagers in dream addresses ☹️ but i may be wrong!
That little animal crossing guy looks like Yu Narukami, very nice :)
i was definitely convinced holding down A while reeling in a fish in new leaf was required for a LONG time. i genuinely dont know where i assumed this from, but one day i tried just tapping A and that worked fine lolz
I believe the flower you get is actually connected to your birth month! Each month has three different possibilities, if I recall correctly. I have a February birthday, and I’ve only ever seen windflowers, pansies, or hyacinths as my native flower.
Should you ever do another one of these, im not sure if this is actually a thing or not, but in Animal Crossing Wild World, if you reset too many times, you will have to write an apology to Resetti and if you spell it wrong you have to do it again, i vividly remember this happening to me cause it took me like an hour to write the correct thing.
I had to do this in GC! so annoying!!!
6:06 i feel betrayed by this game, i've been shaking that wii remote since i was 5. and i wonder why my wrist gets random pains
i cured your arthritis. that will be $10,000
I suppose the "is breaking rocks faster for farming gold nuggets" question really depends on how fast you can spawn new rocks. Sure, breaking a rock has double the odds to drop a gold nugget compared to a hit, but you can hit a rock 8 times. With 1 break, you have a 2% chance to get 1 gold nugget, but within 8 hits, you have an ~7.7% chance to get (at least) 1 gold nugget. Personally, I think the sheer quantity of 1% chances compared to 2% chances on any given Nook Miles Island makes hitting rocks more effective (and would make me feel more "efficient", lol), but it really depends on how fast you can do either option.
The REAL question is: Can you get a gold nugget from a rock you've already hit 8 times?
Yes you can, so the most efficient farming method would be to hit a rock 8 times, then break it
ACNH - A myth I heard and I swear I found proof for a couple years ago was that the birthday that you put in for your character affects what fruit and flowers were native to your island. I remember being annoyed that everytime I reset I almost always got roses, and according to the proof I swear I remember finding somewhere, roses were attributed to June.
5:59 I've gotta admit, I've been mashing A when catching a fish for YEARS. Now, I know it doesn't do anything... but atill, that's the thrill of fish catching! Mashing A just makes you feel like you're actually doing something, putting in more effort to catch the fish. It's like an unwritten rule everyone thought about.
Video Idea:
Idk if there are any mods out there that give you every DIY and Recipe available. If not, then this idea is irrelevant.
The challenge would be for you to craft and cook every singe item in ACNH. The challenge isn‘t easy because of the materials you need, but also not too hard because you don‘t have to collect every DIY yourself.
have you ever thought abt doing challenges in sdv ? like getting all fish as fast as possible or something like that . could be interesting
✨Acnh Myth Idea✨ I heard that if another player is in the water pascal wont show up but if they're on land, he will still have a chance to come.
I've had him fail to show up when I simply had my gates open, even when I didn't have any visitors at the time, so I sincerely doubt it. This isn't a one-time experience either
the what item would you bring dialogue is actually so funny to me. everybody expected it to do something because thats what ac does with seemingly pointless dialogues and then it just. was a straight up pointless dialogue
I never knew about the discount at Gracie Grace's shop in City Folk! thanks for the video, Dag :)
i didn't either before doing this! you're very welcome
The starting flowers acctually match your birth month (and hemisphere)
It’s not 100% that one flower though, I think it’s 1 of 3 if I’m right
That’s why I always get the same kind of flower when I reset the island
IIRC it's one of four, my birth month is April and I have Tulips :]
I imagine the New Leaf Petaltail Dragonfly myth came from some distorted memories of Chuggaconroy's playthrough of New Leaf a few years back. It was the last bug he needed and he needed to go to someone else's town that was set to a different time of the year in order to snag one. Not easier from what I recall but easier than it being flat out not available
it's partially true because even just having your gates open will stop certain bugs from spawning like wasps, tarantulas and scorpions; it doesn't flat out increase its spawn% directly since it is a rare bug, but it does free up those spawn slots so there's a slightly higher chance of it showing up
Flowers actually depend on your birthday! Like the month! So it’s actually got a mechanic to it!
In City Folk, Resetti does fake you out if you reset too many times. It scared me so much as a kid when it happened, and it was definitely CF as I've never played the GC version
in ACNL, there was a bug in multiplayer that made you able to push/throw another player on the train tracks. I remember doing this with my cousins but now i don't know if it's a memory or a medala effect
Omg, I tried SO HARD to get into redd's, Katrina's, and Ressetti's place in CF.
I got into Redd's ONCE! He didn't turn on the lights tho, and kicked me out when he figured out I heard the secret code from another villager
2:30 my sister and I had this same problem. Since we had no means of finding guides for the game, I never learned what it was and why it was there until years later
are you telling me the years i spent of shaking my Wii Remote to catch a fish were in vain? my whole life feels like a lie....
"how animal crossing city folk gave me arthritis"
@@Dagnel tbf that sounds like something Scott the Woz would say
Felt this, but pressing the A button instead (also on City Folk though.) I have to wonder why so many of us had that idea stuck in our heads. Where did it come from? Did it simply seem like the more intuitive thing to do given the game controls? Idk lol
In Wild World I use to have a villager that was also sick no matter how much medicine I gave them and later I asked about it online and someone said that they had “depression”. Basically their personality clashed with too many other villagers making them sad and lonely. I keep looking online and the “forever sick villager” was fairly common but everyone just cheats and opens their gates to cure them lmao
My brother used to religiously play animal crossing gamecube and he told me if you have a bee sting and laid in a bed I'll eventually go away after awhile. I never got it to work but he swears by it.
I always thought that choosing what do you want to take with you in acnh matters for what you’ll get in your first mother’s letter that’s why I always pick “some food” to get a new fruit but perhaps it doesn’t really matter at all?
interesting idea! not the case though I don't think
@@DagnelSomeone else said that it affected the color variations you got of the Nook Stop items?
Really I just want to know why the heck they ask that and if it has any bearing on the game itself 😅
@@chipmunkwarcry nook stop items color (some of them tho, not all of them) depends on airport color. you can google it
Ok, ive never heard this happening to anyone else, but i can SWEAR my first animal crossing gamecube's able sisters shop times were 1am-11pm. Is this a bug or is it actually a super duper rare thing
I don't know why but when I was younger my brother convinced me you could overthrow the government in a long and lengthy process. The worst part is I only realised he was capping recently
I had fun being bad at catching bugs with u in New Leaf!!
As one of my favorite UA-camrs said:
“Putting out the campfire does nothing, but it does wonders for my mental health.”
9:27 I remember there being a specitic phrase you needed to type out in City Folk for something similar, something like "Some fruit, friend?"
lets gooooo new dagnel video dropped
I once heard that your birthmonth and month in which you start your game decide what flowers (maybe even fruit?) first appear native on your island. I have no idea if that's true, I don't think so, but who knows
I really wish the what would you bring question did actually pick your airport color. as a chronic resetter it'd make my life a lot easier
SAME I reset for ages trying to get a good map with a blue airport to match the theme I was planning on, I'm glad I didn't particularly care about starting villagers or fruit because I would have made myself even sadder lmao
i remember my sister telling me that in WW if you sent shells to a villager, you'd only get furniture back. I remember it working but i don't know if it was a coincidence or not.
i know it's not as cool as other myths or whatever but, it'd be interesting to try out if you do this again!
Discovering you don't have to smash a while fishing broke me
I'd sometimes put out the campfires during a villager hunt... but never once heard of that rumour regarding doing that stunt to prevent the villager showing up again!
to be honest I did it to a villager I don't like so much just to be a savage XD
Ohh, I love myths and rumors. Thank you for making such a video=3
you're welcome!
I would imagine a Petaltail Dragonfly would be easier to find in multiplayer. Not necessarily because of some hidden mechanic, but rather *any* fish, bug, etc would be more easily found with several players wandering the town as opposed to just one.
I don't know about all the games, but in New Horizons there are absolutely keywords they look for in letters. I thanked villagers for coming to my birthday party and they reacted as if I had gone to THEIRS.
ACNH: Your birthday month (or what you choose to put it as) gives you a higher percentage with what kind of starter flowers you’ll get?
I have a couple for New Leaf from when I was a kid:
1. The internet told me that marriage is a feature in AC:NL. As a 10 year old kid I never tried it because I was like wtf why would I want to marry an animal as a human lmao. But to this day I still can't find a definite answer, but I'm gonna guess it's a myth.
2. Something I THOUGHT was a myth but is actually REAL: Having the option to sell your town for bells that would roll over to your next playthrough. I never tried it, but I swore it was bullshit until I googled it lol
woooo good video 🥳🥳 I hope there are more myths that come up! the streams of you switching between games and objectives were fun to watch :)
I enjoyed playing all the games, thanks!
I remember seeing a video on UA-cam where someone went into the “dressing room” in the marquee and they said you had to see them perform a specific emotion to get in. Tried for days to get it to work but 10 year old me didn’t know any better lol
I feel like more could've been done to "myth bust"
Like i like the ones where you leave no room for doubt, but some other ones just feel like you go "idk moving on" and don't even try.
Babe, wake up. Daniel uploaded!
Okay i gotta know cuz i have a vivid memory of this
Did any of the ds games have pollution? Cuz i remember watching my friend play and his town had a sickly green sky and the grass was really dry/desaturated
Genuinely looked like a fallout game. I think tons of his trees were cut down too
aw yeah we love a Dagnel couch episode
I have a vivid memory of finding fake art in Animal Crossing: Population Growing. Forgeries do not exist in any of the GCN games, and I didn't even _know_ this 'til I found Dag's vidoes a week or two ago.
I remember digging up art a villager buried, and I attempted donating it to Blathers. Blathers, instead of the "Oh, that's nice, but we only accept [insert categories] as donations," remarked that it was fake and returned it to me. Nook treated it like trash when I tried to sell it. The thing is, I only grew up with GCN. I didn't play another Animal Crossing until about a year after New Leaf came out. I had no prior knowledge of forgeries in the other games, and only had experience of the obvious forgeries in New Leaf. I've never had such a ridiculously vivid false memory.
The funny thing is I also associate this day with the only time I'd found a Ruby Echno chair in Animal Crossing. I've found one in E+, but I still have that first Ruby chair in the oldest town our family still has.
That if your trying to get to three or five stars in ACNH if you put the furniture in giant clumps of items it can actually decrease your score instead of boosting it, never actually tried it though, ps keep up the good work with the vids!
