Man, if there's anything I appreciate about Pocket Camp, it's that it gave each villager a unique description and a unique "special request" furniture for that villager. Yeah, it's a small thing to point out, but I like it when the Animal Crossing games try to flesh out villagers and differentiate them from one another.

Edit: For example, here's Erik's description: "Folks are always mistaking Erik for the famous reindeer, Jingle. He usually doesn't mind the mix-up, except in the wintertime when people are always asking for stuff."

His special request item is, amusingly, a Yule log, a type of chocolate cake that's often served during the Christmas season.

People’s campsites,outfits, campers and cabins become really nutty once you get past level 150, maybe 200. It’s either they change things 24/7 and have a beautiful thought out place. Or somehow haven’t done anything

Pocket Camp has a special place in my heart, because when in 2020 I got to know the AC franchise, I couldn't afford a Switch so it was my only way to play anything related to Animal Crossing. I personally think it's a good game, it just can get boring quickly.

The best time to start playing pocket camp is yesterday 😭 because of the events. The year-round items are limited and kinda lame. DONT IGNORE the events, the items are free through goals, and they’re usually cooler than the default ones. At first you have to grind a lot but then it gets easier. The game is not pay-to-play but things like fortune cookies costing 50 leaf tickets, does make it frustrating. i wish you didn’t go in blind and asked some ACPC players first cause we would help you and give you gifts that can give resources, animal food to level up animals and fortune cookies.

I saw 3 paragraph comments talking about starting Pocket Camp when New Horizons came out bc they couldn’t afford it and had to do a double take bc I almost thought they were the same comment 💀 glad that’s a relatable experience bc I too can relate

24:20 Definitely spending leaf tickets on more crafting slots. I can’t imagine putting myself through the torture of crafting one item at a time, especially when some of them have a waiting period of 24 hours or more. While this may seem disadvantageous to a new player, you’ll earn ten leaf tickets each time you level up which is fairly easy to do in the lower levels.

Pocket Camp has a special place in my heart. I didn’t have New Horizons when it came out, so years ago this was the next best thing. Other than Goldie- Bam, Tia, Diana, and Curt were the true OGs that I grinded to imprison, and absolutely adored episode plot lines I’d makeup in my head for them. For my first Animal Crossing game, this camp was truly something I took care of. Hated how much patience it took to grind for maybe 2 pieces of ant legs tho.

I’m now grown up with money, so I’ve gotten to play NH and the older games- making sure for NH I’d hunt for my same OGs. So cut to now downloading PC again brings back so much nostalgia for me 😭 will be getting PC Complete so I have them with me forever 🫶🏽

Pocket Camp will always have a special place in my heart. Really made up for the time I couldn't get New Horizons on my Switch. It was always fun to play and I appreciated the descriptions each villager had. It really added to the game and i always appreciate little details like that. The events always had nice furniture and the fortune cookies were always a treat to get when I had the leaf tickets for them. I'm sure gonna miss it. (Yes, I know it's not going to be completely gone, i just probably won't spend money on it when it rereleases.)

Also, shout out to my 7th grade self who started crying because she thought she was locked out of her account forever. I just needed space for the download. ( -_-)

ur supposed to play the game in short bursts every few hours. if you play it like that, the wait for things doesn't really matter. also, friends can send you gifts that contain fortune cookies so you don't have to spend money on them. using the gulliver island feature you can also get a bunch of items and new villagers for free

It's the same game if no micro transactions, a few extra events, and it's easier to get things to dress up and decorate.

I started the game in mid-October, to try it before it ends and I have enjoyed it.

It seems like you didn’t read a lot of the dialogue or pop ups, which explains why you got a lot of things wrong about the game or didn’t understand things.

The goal of the game is to meet new villagers and invite them to your campsite, just letting them go there immediately would eliminate a big part of the game.

The villagers aren’t on a time limit to level up that you have to pay to extend, each has a handful of tasks you can do, but the villagers at each site change every 3 hours.

Once they appear you have that time frame to complete the tasks they give, but you can still craft the requested items to invite them to camp after the villagers leave.

Edit: The free trial was for a subscription that would renew after it ended, it was for a month but they discontinued it at the end of October.

Expanding your camper costs bells and you can get loans to do that. They explain that when you go to OK Motors.

I disagree on your point of this not feeling like an AC game. The console games have a ton of daily limits and time gates with moving in new villagers or building new things. The difference is these gates are on crafting items.

The game focuses more on the villagers than your town and by doing their requests I have leveled up, gotten new crafting items, and not spent any money to design a campsite I really like.

I remember there was a gift of 100,000 bells in with the bells that they gave out for players I ended up paying off my entire loan of my RV

It’s addictive and without spending a penny, I’ve managed to progress fairly quickly.

PC furniture and clothing are really awesome, which is why there's a decent chunk of us who are disheartened that it wasn't in NH. Hopefully they'll be in some other games someday!
As for leaf tickets and crafting slots, you definitely do want to buy the crafting slots!! Very much worth the tickets, which can be decently easy to regain if you get lots of leaf ticket maps, and send friend requests to just about everyone you see so you get friend powder. There isn't any sort of messaging system in the game, so the friends feature is purely just there for resources. Also, the events have the best items, so you definitely want to participate!! They're also usually tied to the season, so around Halloween there's spookier themes, and around Toy Day there's more winter and Christmas items.
Leaf tickets can also be used to purchase items from the crafting catalogue, as in something available for a limited time that costs leaf tickets but is instantly delivered. There's some really nice ones; my favorite one I've gotten is Celeste's Cafe Table, which allows her to sit in my campsite! I also am really fond of my iridescent wings that I'm usually running around wearing.
And the friendship levels have little milestones that will let you choose what a villager wears at your campsite, learn a crafting recipe they have access to, and get their picture! After that it's just a resource called sparkle stones though, so there isn't much of a point in trying to grind their level after 20.

i LOVE your channel! i have started pulling out my old copy of new leaf and city folk, because of the videos you make! keep up the work man!

I disagree, that's the entire point of the events. That's when you get cool furniture and clothes. That's the grind. Yes, there are also cookies, but most of the time you can get them in friend's gifts or when they put them for sale. I rarely bought cookies because I always saved my leaf tickets for campsite backgrounds, and I have a lot of nice furniture

the fortune cookie fortunes are veryyyyy much based on japanese lifestyles and the translators didn’t bother to localize it at all apparently

1:54 Finally, edgy teen in the 2000s culture
1:55 Ooh, even more 2000s culture (no, 2020, you don't get to claim messy hairstyles)
2:01 Cockatiel representation
2:08 How I imagine people who went to private school
2:16 My hair 0.00001 seconds after brushing it

"It's not like I have a loan to pay off" but you have a loan, you have to pay off your camper 😂  That aside, where I'm currently at in my life, the playstyle of PC is better suited for me than NH. I don't have the time to sit down and play on my switch, but I can enjoy PC in short bursts. I check it while having breakfast, then I go to work and find a quiet minute there and enough time passed so that waiting for any crafting is not an issue. And sometimes I craft smth that takes hours, forget about it and then the next day it's a nice surprise when it's finished. And I'm also super stingy so I managed to play without ever paying for it 🤩

been playing this shi for 4 years and never spent a single dollar, my cabin, campsite, and camper are so cool and now i lost it all 😪
