While I know a lot of people don’t play Pocket Camp anymore, I still keep playing it. Besides just enjoying Animal Crossing as a series, when the mobile game was officially announced, it also mentioned having connectivity to a “main” Animal Crossing game so whenever we do get a new one, I want to be ready for it.<\/p>\n

But right now, it just feels kind of an endless struggle. One of the things I really appreciate from games, and maybe I am the only one who does, is the ability to just have a moment to breathe. <\/p>\n

I’m so happy I started playing Pocket Camp when it released early in Australia because I think I would’ve given up otherwise. Being able to play that month and just get familiar with the game without tons of limited things happening and more and more new villagers being added constantly was so relaxing and that’s the one thing Pocket Camp is really missing to me. It’s not<\/i> relaxing in the slightest. In the same way that New Leaf stopped being relaxing for me due to the broken moving mechanic. It’s not fun to load up a game and be dreading if someone moved or not.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, I feel like I’m constantly watching the clock when I play this because, oh look the villagers are switching again in a few minutes. Time to rush to try and get what I can done. <\/p>\n

While the gardening event was incredibly improved with Lottie, it still felt stressful. And I just do not really care for gardening. I’m struggling enough trying to get those flower trade items only to have to rip up my garden again for another gardening event. I also have a lot of feelings on the new slot machine at OK Motors, but we’ll get to that.<\/p>\n

For now, let’s just go in order since my last update and take one thing at a time. There’s been quite a few new villagers including a new essence type–Hip. I don’t really get it. The villagers don’t really seem to fit it and the icon for it is a mushroom and the amenities are even weirder… In Japanese, it’s “Pop” so I would suppose they are going for “Popular” but it still seems kind of odd to me? The whole theme seems odd. Regardless, I made sure to get them all moved in quickly:
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a>
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

I was especially excited about Merengue:
\n<\/p>\n

I also completed all the Hip Amenities and finished off the Rustic ones as well:
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a>
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a>
\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

I absolutely love the waving from the balloon:
\n
\nAnd while the capture feature is cute, I wish I could also take pictures of the whole screen versus just a square. <\/p>\n

I also finally started working on my RV and camp site a bit more, but honestly, I’m still not particularly happy with either:
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a>
\nI’m really struggling trying to figure out what to do. I just don’t feel very inspired :\/ While also feeling too overwhelmed at the same time. <\/p>\n

As mentioned, we had the second garden event with Lottie:
\n<\/a> <\/a>
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a>
\n<\/a> <\/a>
\nWhile I still had a little more trouble than I would’ve liked with the final bats, the rates were SO much better with this event and I’m glad they listened to feedback. I think the only disappointing thing for me is I wasn’t really fond of most of the items. Pretty much everything I would’ve preferred in other colors (please give me a Sweet Lolita version, Nintendo). I liked the red roses a lot though.<\/p>\n

I also ADORED Lottie’s dress.
\n
\nI would love if they made a pink version instead of black that we could wear. <\/p>\n

I will admit I didn’t expect this for the end scene with our character playing guitar though”
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a>
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

This time, I made sure to record the end cutscene at least:
