Follow on Twitch! twitch.tv/Dagnel Reply to this with some video ideas, and thanks for your support as always!

I’m taking this opportunity to share my favorite piece of AC lore: in ACNL, Occasionally when talking to Lyle from HHA, you can ask him ”What’s new” and he will spill some tea about Tom Nook. One thing Lyle will tell you about is that Tom Nook and Timmy & Tommy became business rivals when they opened their one store. He even tried to spy on them through their store window

Another fun fact! Mable and Sable's Italian names are Agostina and Filomena, their shop's name is an abbreviation of their names, making it "Ago&Filo", which translates too "needle and thread"!

"...given that 'bud' is another word for - " Marijuana. " - a sprouting plant." A sprouting plant.

Another fact about Zipper is he is actually the man behind the slaughter

i just love how theres been so many theories and videos over zipper T bunny but you deemed the scrabble fact the most worthy lol

just one little correction, katie is also in new leaf! she asks you to take her to someone else's town. only her mother doesn't come back, but katie is still able to be seen at least in one game

I actually found Katie wondering around in my town in Wild World a few months ago. My brother has Kaitlin in his town & we only play together through "DS to DS" with the Nintendo DS. So, it still is possible to see them both in Wild World without an actual online connection.

There are actually 7 amiibo cards for Isabelle! Along with the 6 you mentioned, there was a Isabelle promo card in the September/October 2015 issue of the Japanese magazine Pikopuri. There was also a K.K. Slider promo card in the April/June 2016 issue.

3:32 Just to point out, Katie also made an appearance in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but would only ever appear in your town if she was escorted by someone else living in another town, or at random times if your 3DS connects to the internet.

This video caused me to have the sudden revelation that Wendell and Wardell are two different shy walruses. I had always wondered why they changed his design so much for hhd

8:42 That was Wisp’s original design, you say? Call that a Wip

I have a very special place in my heart for porter and champ. porter shares a birthday with me! he's also one of the least popular special characters, but i still have a sticker and a plushie of him. accf was my first animal crossing game and champ was one of my neighbors growing up. i ADORED him. his shirt is my favorite color and he was always so sweet to me. I was absolutely heartbroken to find out he was the ONLY villager cut after city folk. i want them to bring him back so bad

6:57 Rover also references his previous roles in Wild World as well! When he visits in the Roost, you can talk to him and he asks the player "Have you ever taken a trip out of town? Just for kicks? I used to ride the rails, too! Hop on the train. Just see where it takes me ..."

This video made me so happy. I love your content anyway but deep dives into AC lore are just my thing. Now I realized that having bought so many special character Amiibos for NH (I think, actually all of them now) to complete my existing collection, I totally have to go back to Happy Home Designer and create homes for them because of all the lore tidbits you get in this game when you're chatting with them afterwards, even more than in HHP.

The fact that you don’t have a fact for Scoot, one of the most special villagers, upsets me

Wisp's pre release design is so cute I wish they kept it lol

We stan Pete being in everything Animal Crossing related.

I’ve only ever played New Horizons so I find anything covering older games really interesting, great video!

i feel like the celeste thing comes from the devs not giving enough of a shit to change the code in that minigame to fit with the lore lol

This is the first time I heard someone non italian correctly pronounce "Gandolfo". Props to you man, and great video. Also I'm glad I'm not that have already hinted at a full villagers fun facts. That's gonna be a lot of work

adding onto the fact for jingle, only MALE reindeer shed their antlers in the winter. Female reindeer grow their antlers in the winter! this wasnt the only character to be implied to possibly be transgender in accidental design choices or text dialogues- Sahara was originally male in the Japanese versions of the game, but was made to be female for English audiences. I dont remember which but one of the Able Sisters (I believe it was Label) had some text in what I believe was Pocket Camp or amiibo festival about changing her name to feel more like her true self, which a lot of people took as a reference to trans people changing their name from their deadname to their real name! And of course we have the characters Shino and Sasha, while not special characters, are very much gender non-conforming characters or even possibly trans :)

frillard is mentioned in new leaf by dr shrunk as he was shrunk’s comedy mentor and even does the jokes he did in city folk!

One fact that I learned recently while replaying Animal Crossing HHD for the 3DS, was the fact that Lottie can sometime not wear makeup some days. Apparently Lottie can sometimes oversleep, and didn't have enough time to put on make-up when getting ready to go to work. She also even tells the player to not look at her face, meaning that she is actually pretty insecure about herself if she isn't wearing make-up. When I first saw this, I honest to god got genuinly freaked out about it because I thought it was a glitch in the game.

i love this kind of video as someone who joined the community in the ACNH era I feel like I dont know all the ~lore~ of past games!

3:06 male deer shed their antlers in winter, female deer grow them, making Jingle and all of Santa's canonical reindeer female.

City Folk was my first ac game and i will never forget how much i stressed over getting my hair done. i wanted to look cool so i would look up guides everytime. did that for 10 years before NH let me move on from my hair style torment

I had no idea Serena even existed. So naturally I look at her wiki page. Dagnel, I'm sorry but I politely disagree on Frillard being the most obscure special character for the simple fact that I don't think anyone would naturally try to THROW AN AXE INTO THE FOUNTAIN. Just... *what!?* I haven't been this perplexed upon discovering an AC feature before... lol. *But* you could argue Serena is more consistently attainable, whereas Frillard requires RNG (seeing him appear in one of select few theater performances), so it's not a baseless claim-- I'll give you that.

2:52 "isabelle has more amiibo cards than anyone else" idk i have more than six that's only like 2 packs

Now i wonder where exactly we see Pete in game. I thought he wasn’t in the game at all.

The fact that the best NPC didn’t exist in the original Animal Forest is crazy to me, poor Blathers. and WOOHOO Dagnel video! Edit: RIP Frillard, bro taught me so many cool emotions back in the City 😔🙏

dude this game series is just so fun. great vid dag!

1:28 I screamed when I saw this little guy. How have I gone my whole life without knowing him 😭

I love these videos man!! All the small details makes the game so great too!

orville and wilbur do have one difference between their character models. wilbur has darker eyelids and his neutral expression has slightly droopy eyelids. you can see it if you replace his sunglasses with a pair of glasses where you can see his eyes (I ran a tumblr blog called villagerdetails where I documented this sort of stuff for every character) Isabelle actually has a 7th amiibo card that was an exclusive bonus with an issue of character parfait magazine. it's the only card I don't have, since I didn't want to shell out $100+ for a card that's exactly like her summer outfit card but in a different pose one of my favourite facts is all the holiday special NPCs have birthdays on their holiday (or around their holiday if it's not always on the same day). animal crossing celebrates american thanksgiving, but franklin's birthday is in october around canadian thanksgiving

A video I never knew I needed. Thanks Dag! Some of these facts haunt me now :D

I love your videos on Animal Crossing so much. I've recently been in Shakespeare hell while having to write a great deal about several of the tragedies and I was surprised to see that Flick is a Shakespeare goth, haha... I don't play as often as I'd like to, so I don't often stay at my 5-star rating for long enough to see stuff from the NPCs! Much appreciated trivia-share.

One small inaccuracy I noticed: You can actually see Kaitlin without using WiFi in animal crossing wild world, provided you use local play and connect with friends. I'm not 100% sure of the conditions, but I'm positive I never connected to the internet on my ds, and got her through playing local play with friends. From what I can tell, if you've played local play before, you have a chance of finding her, and you can use local play again to return her to her mother. The AC Wiki entry seems to mention this as well.

I love your videos sm they’re so amazing

never knew my favorite lizard was into litterature! That's adorable!!

I heckin‘ love your animal crossing videos

Zippers full name actually gives you the same scrabble score as every other villagers name. Zero. You can't use names in scrabble.

What a nice video to watch in the evening. Thank you=)

I’d love more content like this this was amazing

Not sure if this is a common fact but if you tell K.K. Slider to play a song called "Animal City" he'll play it and give you a song (like normally) and the cover has Selena on it!

I was gonna say it feels like there's not enough special characters; until I realized there's still DJ KK, Gullivarrr, Cornimer, Snowboy(and his family), Giovanni, Beppo, Carlo... and I guess The Farway Museum letter writer... And your Mom?

A new dagnel episode? will be sleeping well tonight. Ps. your voice is very relaxing

@ 5:26 - Wilbur do be having those droopy eye textures, though. lol

great vid!

2:59 actually in happy home designer Jack's foot prints are bird prints. Suggesting that he a bird of some kind

Omg my birthday is on March 3rd as well! Pavè is one of my MOST FAVORITE special characters!!! Best day ever!!!

So glad to see a video from you! Hope you are doing alright Dagnel. We care about you bud

woah i didn't know most of these!! really cool stuff!!

ngl idk why but this is one of my fav videos of 2023 so far lol. the old school music.. seeing all the past characters :c i hate new horizons so much man

Makes sense that Shrunk would have an expressive icon, what with that being his entire gimmick.

I play in spanish, and the Al Paca thing has been adorable to me from day 1.

whoa!! thats so cool :00 i love all the facts heheh

You can use local player connection in wild world to reunite Katie and Kaitlin if you and your friends have them in your towns

Thank you for another interesting video 😊

This taught me that there is an Animal Crossing movie

Omg Dan! Do you remember me? I lived with your family for like 3-4 years lmao. I’m so happy to see you doing well on this!! Just wondering: have you played Skyrim? That’s my favorite game of all time and I just know you’d have some good tips and tricks if you played it. Best wishes Daniel son from CLT, NC

Female reindeer have antlers in the winter. That's why a few years ago the hip new fact was that all of Santa's reindeer are actually female.

This was amazing

Not much to say, just boosting that engagement

Im pretty sure Catelynn and daughter don’t necessarily require the online-Connection but local play works as well I remember getting them in my town without having my DS connected to wifi ever but tbf I could confuse things since it’s been years I last played ww

In the Spanish version of animal Crossing, Timmy and Tommy is Tendo is Nendo, which probably references Nintendo.

Great video! The birthday changes make me scratch my head tho, why would they change these specifically I wonder

3:15 Joan is immortal game theory when??

My day is now way better

i wish the pre release wisp was the actual wisp. it’s so freaking goofy

Fun fact: I forgot to transfer my island when I got an OLED so I lost all my illegal time travel money and goodies 🙃 I really gotta buckle down and start over

Darn... Giovanni, Beppo and Carlo from Pocket Camp were forgotten...

Isabelle has another amiibo card that was only released in a Japanese magazine (it has its own ID number) and only insane collectors have one …yes I have one

yippie dagnel video

Katie? 3:35 I didn’t know there was a character with my name wow❤

3:06 This confirms that Jingle is female bc female reindeer don’t shed their antlers in the winter, males DO

So Katrina keeps raising her prices huh? Wow, that's what going on today.

Considering Jingle doesn't shed his antlers in the winter, like male reindeer do...Does this mean...

6:55 YOOOO

Blanca is my fav :)

if katelyn and katie (whatever their names are) are now unable to be seen thanks to the closure of the ds and wii internet, wouldn't they be the rarest characters in the game instead of frillard?

Kaitlin is the only fictional chara i share a name with - down to the spelling and all. And she's a slay so i love her

Also many villagers are trans, intersex or nonbinary coded because they display animal traits from the opposite sex. An example is Julia, she is female but male peacocks are the ones with colorful tail plumage for attracting peahens. Some characters like Gracie and Sahara are also the opposite gender in the Japanese versions of the game

at least zipper is good for one thing: scrabble

The Katie and Kaitlin fact is actually not true for Wild World! For them to appear you need to have visited someone else’s town at least once, and in Wild World you don’t actually need wifi to do that, you can still visit other people’s towns via wireless connection ^^

Wilbur actually has a slightly different Design than Orville. Orville has Upper Lids.

You forgot Ok Motors

I wonder why they changed Daisy Mae's birthday? May 5th is Children's Day in Japan

Isabelle technically has a seventh, Japan-exclusive card that's the reason why I never want to try and have a 100% collection 🙃

Wait when it Pete in acnh?? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him

so you're telling me that prior to localization tortimer was an ordained cardinal in the catholic church

In portuguese white is "branco" so I always thought that Blancass name was perfect. Also I designed my in game phone to looks like CJ phone

I miss the monkeys and the pelicans

8:19 what about all of the ones from Mom?

im pretty sure festivale is either pronounced festivah-leh or just festival lmao

I could be wrong but I think female reindeer don’t shed their antlers in winter

it’s wilburs birthday today

Actually I don't think you could donate Mom's Painting either, which personally bothered me.

Not sure of someone pointed it out already but you made a small mistake with the reindeer there because only the males shed their antlers in the winter, meaning every reindeer character shown with antlers in the winter would be a female :)
