Any ideas for the next Animal Crossing?

I want new species, new personalities, and maybe it would be cool to run your own store. Even if you get to decide what to sell. Even though you could do that with the recycle shop, but the villagers would actually buy things while you're not in the store (there would be an NPC working for you.)

I really like the ski lift area as well. Definitely make the town bigger, and allow us to choose where villagers will be moving to.
 
Ahem...

-More pattern space. Maybe like twelve per person. Especially for paths. Or even better...

-Path PWPs. You could walk around town, laying a path behind you. You could make all the designs, and store it in the town hall or something, then you could only change it if you put it in the town hall's path storage. It could be like the design storage in your pockets, but have one for a right turn, left turn, etc. And villagers wouldn't be able to move on top of it. :D

-More plants and trees. Maybe you could grow tomatoes, celery, and other fruit. Or other kinds of trees.

-Upgrade Able Sisters! I would want to upgrade so you have one of each type of clothing each day on a separate stand, then two, then three! Speaking of Able Sisters...

-Make your own actual hats, shoes, pants, bows, glasses, etc! There could be a special type of design pattern for it, color it in, then have your own shoes! You could make shorts, skirts, or pants. Hats that actually look like hats! Boots, flip flops, sandals, high heels, sneakers. Glasses and bows!

-Hair. You could add highlights on your bangs or in the back. More colors. You could choose the hairstyle without looking up the questions combinations! And longer hairstyles. Waist length hair. Maybe you could buy ponytail bands from Harriet and put your hair up in a bun or ponytail. Buy two and get pigtails. Maybe you could even buy straighteners or curlers from Harriet and get curly or straight hair.

-Customizable maps. At the beginning, Rover could say something like, "What does the town look like?" and you could put down a minimum of three rocks, two ponds, etc, but still be able to place them down where you want.
 
Definitely more species, more personalities, more villagers per town and a bigger town.

And preferably not on the wii u since I never really got into city folk where as I was a huge fan of wild world. Handheld devices are much nicer as you can play it on the go with or without power (as long as it's charged)

Oh my god and longer hairstyles. Where you could customise your bangs/fringe then customise the back and maybe unlock highlights etc like how you unlock contacts.
 
I'd like it to be something fairly different but still recognisable as animal crossing, if that makes sense. They've had three games out now which, when you get down to the nitty gritty of it, are all reasonably similar. So I think it's time for a change. I'd like it to have a 360 view and visually be sort of like Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, or maybe a bit like Skyrim but a lot smaller, randomly generated and cuter. I'd like it to feel like an actual forest with super tall trees, rather than a field with some shrubs barely taller than you. Different areas like like a mountain you can climb and caves and stuff would be nice too. Idk, it's kinda hard for me to describe.

Though I guess with the way pokemon has gone we'll probably just see yet another re-hash...

All.
Of.
This.
 
Man pretty much everything I would say has been said.
But I would REALLY like the ability to use transparency in patterns. Matching dirt and grass is an absolute PAIN, and the ability to choose which skin tone you want at the beginning of the game would be nice. I mean tanning could still be an option, but going all the way to the island to tan in all the other months must really suck.

I've also seen the idea of berry bushes floating around tumblr a lot and I really like that idea.

You know in like colors! 3d theres this rainbow thing you chose what color you paint in? what if we have that as hair colors instead of just 10 colors like every color would be unique and wouldnt be the same
 
Making the map how you want it.
Moving rocks, getting rid of them.
Making it so villagers DON'T MOVE WHERE YOU DON'T WANT THEM
(Teddy ALMOST crushed my entire flower garden)
 
With the popularity of the tropical island setting and the different mini-games you can play there, I think it could be neat to have a snowy lodge and ski resort to the north of the map. You can travel up to the mountain via a ski lift, and there'd be tons of snowy themed mini-games, furniture and prizes. Maybe like the original AC on Gamecube, you can own your own cabin and decorate it.

Such a great idea o_o

Oh yeah and I would like to do something about the rocks' places. They're annoying!
 
I'd like to have the ability to keep certain villagers from moving away permanently, or at least until I say so. Maybe I have to unlock it, pay a ton for it, whatever..I just don't want to stress about that. I lost Eugene and Graham out of the blue, which really irritated me. They weren't my favs, but I really liked them.

I like the unpredictability of where a new villagers house will wind up, but I'd like to be able to move it at some point. Again, maybe that's a PWP you have to unlock with tom nook or something, but it would be nice to tell Fang he's moving to the other side of town rather than moving out altogether because he's in a terrible spot.

More shops for sure. Someone here mentioned having your own shop, which sounds really fun. Could be fun with the villagers and your friends. Maybe the option to either organize Main Street myself, or have a choice in which shops move in. Like maybe you can only fit 8 shops, but there's 12 to actually choose from somehow.
 
YES! I hate the rocks with a passion and the ponds, you can't put pwps anywhere! I was talking about the exact same thing yesterday with my friend, a fellow animal crosser.
 
I would like there to be less 'rare' items as storage is a major problem for all the rare stuff.
Be nice to access your 'storage' on the island so you can give people items.
I would like Re_tail to be open 24/7
Some great ideas on here folks!

Agreed. I was mad that the Cabana set, easily my favorite set from WW, became unorderable :mad:

If anything, I'd say make GracieGrace items orderable when they are out of season and only for full price.

Some items should definitely be orderable, idk, I don't like unorderables all too much.
 
I like most of these ideas, one that i would like to see is that in game chat needs more space to type stuff lol having one line to type just gets frustrating after a while
