AC Generation Memories! Your first town ever!

[toadsworthy]

List some favorite memories from your towns throughout the years! And challenge mode if you can remember the first villagers ever from those towns!

There was a thread about this in the AC:NL discussion board, but I wanted to reminisce of games past!

I started with Gamecube
I'm pretty sure my first character was named Toad... he might've lived in ToadTown...
My original 6 villagers in Gamecube were
Axel
Biskit
Kiki
Piper (I miss her)
Olivia
and I can't remember who my cranky was and it kills me.... I wanna say it was a wolf...

Tangy was the first to move in and for some reason it surprised me... she was the funniest thing ever, made me love animal crossing and she remains my favorite villager

My first experience with AC was with the first DS game, ACWW! My town was called Bluebell. I can remember having Peewee and I think Rod ^^; I loved that game soooo much! I can't remember if they were a part of the original 5, but this town is where I had Stitches, Vesta and Bluebear and they became some of my beloved favorites ^^

 

[spCrossing]

Jesus...

I can barley remember my Gamecube town...

But I do know that Butch, Broccolo, Pekoe, Antonio, & Rodeo were in my first City Folk Town.

I remember I'd gotten the gamecube AC for my birthday, plugging it into the living room tv and playing in front of the whole family. I named my town Frubes, after those yoghurt tubes, 'cause I was eating one at the time. :X
God knows what villagers I had though, I think I vaguely remember Rocco?

 

[oreo]

I remember I had Ozzie in my AC GameCube town and was really surprised he came back in AC:NL. My town was called Moo and Huggy was my favourite villager ever. She is an adorable peppy koala bear. I wish she will come back for the next Animal Crossing series.

 

[honeyaura]

Oh goodness.
I started with WW, and I can only remember a few of the villagers.
Rodeo, Peanut, Vesta, Ruby?, and a penguin... forgot their name. All I can remember.
The town name was Mukui. A made-up name/town based on a book I was writting/illustrating at the time xD

Oh, and I had a gorilla too... Peewee?

My first WW town was actually my sister's town that she created and she introduced the game to me and we ended up sharing the same town before she got tired of the game and I got obsessed with it. It was called "japann", the native fruit was Pears, and I don't remember the first 3, but I remember Joey, Monique, Tipper, Mitzi, Hopper, Boone, Bella and I forgot the last villager. The first town that I made was called LaLaLand and my starting villagers was Nibbles, Tank and I think Filbert? The native fruit was either Oranges or Cherries.

omg my first gamecube town gah~

I remember my four characters were me, my cousin (I also had a character in her AC town, haha), my neighbor, and a friend from school. We all had our houses upgraded with our little statues - mine was the gold since I started first, can't remember the order of the rest~ I always thought the green was the best aha I think that was my cousin

I can barely remember my villagers. I know Woolio lived right below our houses and we were super tight. The only other ones I remember were Chevre, Spike, Mint, Snooty, Hambo, & a cat (I think Rosie or Mitzi). Oddly enough most of my villagers were ones that never came back in future games. ;-; I used to connect my Gameboy Advance & my islander was Faith.

I think my town name was my last name, because that's how my cousin named hers, and she got me into the game. c: But her last name is better than mine so mine just sounded odd, haha!

I still have the memory card somewhere, I should go check out my town sometime~

 

[Zady]

I started with WW, I don't remember my town name, but I remember having Chevre, Apollo, Teddy (who I was obsessed with), Robin, and a penguin who had a purple circle rug in her house

I happened to find the WW game cartridge the other day and I started it up, it was pretty nostalgic

I also played CF but I wasn't committed to that at all

 

[Amalthea]

I had Mitzi and Yuka as starting villagers in my first ever Gamecube town. They're both at the top of my favourites list to this day Mitzi was my best friend and I cried when she moved out ;____; I had Whitney too and I loved her.

I had Stitches and Bob in one of my Wild World towns as well! They were delightful.

 

[Starlightz]

My first experience with animal crossing was at Christmas, maybe 2009? My brother and I had gotten a wii and ACCF was the first game that we played on it. My brother had started the town, so he named it after our hometown (real original, I know.) After a while, he stopped playing it for the most part so I began playing it more.

The only villager I remember having from that very first town was Tank, because my brother thought he was the coolest thing ever! I played City Folk right up until the release of New Leaf, and I obtained Wild World somewhere in that period, but never really got into it. c:

My first town ever was when I was 7 years old. It was on Wild World, and my town was named woods, my character being gracie. My 3 starting villager were Goldie, Rodeo, and Wart Jr. Since then, Nibbles, Bella, Mallary, Bill, and Mint moved in my town. Out of those, I grew REALLY attached to Goldie, and would constantly talk to her everyday. But guess what? She was the first one to move away. I cried a river for her and got so obsessed that I would constantly draw pictures of her, made an imaginary friend out of her, and got a plushie of her. Savannah replaced her. Then Rodeo moved but I wasn't as sad. Stitches replaced him. I remember Stitches and Bill becoming best buds despite their differing personalities. I remember Mint becoming sick and me constantly worrying about her those few days fearing that she would die. I remember growing attached to Bella and also growing attached to Savannah for her similar personality to Goldie. I never even completed my work for Tom Nook because I didn't know how to send a letter, yet I erased woods because I wanted Goldie back so desperately. As soon as I deleted it, I regretted that decision. I cried myself to sleep for a long time missing woods. I would move to other towns but it was never the same as good old woods. I never had any luck getting Goldie back either. Thankfully, she is in my New Leaf town. c:

My first town was the original GameCube game. I played it just shy of 2 years straight after getting it in 2002 when the unthinkable happened- Lily suddenly sent a letter saying she had moved out!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Plop, down went the controller, click, off went the GameCube, and I haven't played it since. I put my heart and soul into that town collecting items, expanding my house, getting the gold statue, doing the different events- morning aerobics was actually quite entertaining, but losing my favorite suddenly like that, that was too harsh! Once I lost her, I just didn't have the heart to return to a town without her. Thankfully, Wild World came out the following year and I returned to the series. I continued on with City Folk, and now New Leaf. Wild World and New Leaf are my two favorites, but like I said in 2005 this series is just perfect on handhelds, because you can play them anywhere, no more having to be home to play this at a particular day/time.

I started with AC GCN. I remember we brought our Gamecube to Disney World, and one morning while on the trip, I woke up and saw my brother playing Animal Crossing on it: he had just bought it the night before.
I played on his save file, but when we went home, I found my memory card and created my first town: icat.
I was five years old at the time!
I remember I had Bea and Purrl as villagers. Those are the ones I remember the most.
I wasn't often allowed to play during the week, but that was okay. I played it on the weekends, or sometimes my mom would let me play it on weekdays, after I did my school.
One time, my mom went out of town, and hired a girl to babysit me and my brothers (we were homeschooled at the time.)
My mom had given the girl instructions that, once my school and chores were done, I was allowed to play Animal Crossing!
I met with the girl again recently, and she mentioned how we were her first babysitting gig! She also said she remembered some weird video game I was obsessed with. xD

When my older brother gave us his old DS, me and my brothers started saving up for Wild World. We traded in most of our games to Gamestop, and though we only got $10, my dad recognized how hard we had been working to earn money around the house, and he paid for the rest of the game.
I was obsessed with the game! I don't know how many hours I spent playing it. I met one of my very good friends through the game, too! She was the only person I knew who played it, so we met up sometimes to play. She's still my friend to this day!

When I got City Folk, I began playing with people I met on forums. They were girls my own age (my parents were wary of people on the Internet); one girl in particular became my best friend. Five years later, we text every day, and she even came to my house last summer.

THOSE ARE A LOT OF MEMORIES, but it goes to show how Animal Crossing has impacted my life!!

I started with the gamecube. The only villager I remember was Ava. She always wandered around my house. I didn't really do much in that town, I just liked talking to the animals and doing events, I didn't even know they had a island

 

[LaBelleFleur]

My first time playing Animal Crossing was at a friend's house - she had the GameCube version, and all of us took turns playing as our characters. I was instantly hooked, and bought my own copy soon after. I always named my towns "Canada" because I lived in Canada, and as a kid it didn't make sense to name it anything else.

I went through a ton of towns/villagers - the only one that sticks out to me is Liz, as she was my best AC friend for ages until she tragically moved away (so glad villagers warn you about moving now).

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

I had no memory of my 1st town, but one of the only ones I remember from it was Ursala.

 

[Flykk]

Seeing this thread actually made me go and dig out my old WW cartridge... So many memories! Sadly I can't remember my first villagers, but I remember being best buds with Yuka and Puddles who both left later on leaving me only with their pictures

 

[Tasuot]

My first AC was the Gamecube version. I was introduced to it after blatantly pulling it off of the shelf and buying it.
Lol, and that was like, 10 years ago. But anyways, I forgot what I named my town sadly. But sometimes I do visit when I get bored.
Some of the villagers that I had were Wolfgang, Tangy, Bob, Pippy, Vesta, Emerald (my fav), Punchy, and others.
AC has been with me since my childhood, so I don't think I'll be dropping it anytime soon. ^_^

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

Emerald (my fav),

Ah yes. Emerald. She's the only other one I remember.
