There's no talking sense into some of them

I posted in a topic where someone spent 300 NMT to get a single villager which is a shit ton of playing and grinding. Pointed out how you can buy a 10 pack NFC stickers for old villagers for $15 and wait a couple months for amiibo data for the handful of new villagers only to get the "some people enjoy the grinding experience" response

I like not cutting corners to actually enjoy a game as much as the next sane person but there's a limit and 300 NMT (and still having to manually search islands for them) is way beyond that

I have no idea why people are acting so crazy over Raymond

Like, I get that he has no amiibo card but he isnt even the coolest new character

That would be Audie, who lives in my town :)

It's just the tablet though. No charger, joycons, or dock.

Well to be fair if she's on Twitch she's probably making money from streaming so I can kinda understand that even if it sounds boring as hell lol

Random Joe Schmoe on a message board doing the same thing while getting nothing out of it other than one villager sounds like lunatic behavior though

I remember some people buying Pokemon for exorbitant amounts of money as if you couldnt just pay $15 for an action replay or powersave yourself.
>_> I spent $300 for Pokemon Shield, the DLC, a 3DS, and Ultra Sun to homebrew the 3DS and transfer genned Gen 1-7 Pokemon to Home and Shield

But at least I can play other 3DS games and some for free now I guess

Yeah, it's actually comical how much people are willing to shell out for some dorky cat with glasses. He doesn't even have the most interesting design of the new villagers, Audie and Judy have much more interesting designs.

Well, keep checking up on it. We'll see if someone actually buys the damn thing or not. Just because player A is asking for that price, doesn't mean player B thinks it's a good enough deal to snag.

lol if I was greedy I could recoup the cost of a 3DS and Ultra Sun in no time since I (and anyone with a 3DS) can generate legal versions of anything on that page that's not a Gen 8 exclusive or Gigantimax. Could even cover the cost of buying an early Switch once people stop hoarding

Selling them on eBay isn't worth it, reddit is where the money is

I could do that since I have two switches, one homebrewed and one thats not (but still homebrewable) so I could trade from the hacked one to the non-hacked one but I dont want to support SwSh

Yeah I understand why some people don't want to support GameFreak for crapping out a halfassed game, but I missed out on the last 3 generations of Pokemon so I went all in on this one. I've only used the 3DS to generate Pokemon for my own Home collection and parents to breed in SwSh where I giveaway 5 IV HA apriball rejects

But it's slightly tempting knowing that there's still a market for that lol. I can't see myself actually selling Pokemon though. And on topic, once those New Horizons amiibo cards are released, the same thing is going to happen in Animal Crossing. There's no way Nintendo is not going to release amiibo cards for the new characters, so I don't understand why everyone's rushing their grinding

I was in the same boat so I bought my copy of Sword used and the pokemon I sold paid it back

People will buy anything because of some cute character. It's not just Nintendo.

It would be super funny if Nintendo just said screw it- here's a Raymond limited edition Amiibo card that works only in Animal Crossing. I can bet many people would resell the card at insane amounts, while others would beg Nintendo to produce more of them. Stores need the sales, so an item limit on it likely wouldn't happen I bet... so the resellers would win probably.

Raymond is a popular character in the game that many people want. But many more people simply get him just to make a profit and/or brag about it.

Find new islands to visit then? I would bet there is different ones if you look enough.

Is Marshall something special? I saw that name in the description I have him on my island. I also have some weird sand bunny with no eyes called Coco.

Marshal is one of the most desirable as well. I had him in New Leaf, he's quite cute.

I actually just got Raymond on an island yesterday. Audie as well recently, but i'm actually trying to get Judy. I love her design.

I'm looking at a few lists online, Coco, Marshal, and Marina are all in the top 20 on a lot of lists and I have them. I also have Reneigh, Bangle, Moose, Tank, and Rex. I had no idea there were popularity levels like that in these games.

If I were president of Animal Crossing:

No taking turnips over the border.

No exchanging Nook Miles Tickets.

Can't be done within the game. Bam. Gets rid of 90% of the playerbase problems right there. And maybe get rid of the whole swapping villagers when they're packing up to leave thing.

Call me the fun police.
