You could go back two weeks in time and then hop from day to day, while only talking to the villager you want to move out. Or completely ignore them after greeting them, when you haven't talked to them. Both strategies seem to work.

They'll ping at the very least tomorrow when you start up the game. When a villager decides to move out, it still takes them like 5 days, so you have more than enough time.
If I play my game (cartridge) on another DS than my usual one, does it affect much?
Last night the battery on my 3DS was dying, so I saved my game and opened it again on my New 3DS, and it was at a different time of day, and when Isabelle started talking about 'streetpass not being activated' or something, I freaked and shut it off.
What gives? I've never had an issue playing a game on a different DS than another before.

Happened to my mom. Nothing bad happened. Her streetpass data was just saved to the first SD card so the game couldnt find it on her new 3DS. She didn't lose any data at all.
What about the time of day being different though? It was night time in my game when I was playing it, but when I moved to the new 3DS, in the loading/preview screen, it showed as daytime.
are you sure both DS's have the correct/same time in the settings? maybe one is off by a few hours.
also
This honestly puts a smile on my face every time. it's one of the most adorable things in animal crossing. <3

They -should- have the same time on both of them. I change the time on my actual game (I have it set several hours back since I play at night) and I never touch the 3DS clock.
that could be why. I'm sorry if I explain this horribly but it's confusing for me too so I'll try my best.. pretty much when you save and quit your game (on the 3ds you usually use) make sure the second 3ds matches with the time in your game cartridge. so since you don't change the 3ds settings you'll have to TT with Isabelle to match it up.
I read this somewhere since I'm planning on getting another 3ds, just can't remember where I read it. or if it's even correct info x-x sorry but maybe worth a try.

It stayed with my moms cartridge time. Her cartridge was in February but her new 3DS was current time. it didnt change back. She had to manually change it.
I hope the in-game and 3DS times being different don't affect it. I try not to mess with TTing too much so I dont want to accidentally lose a villager just because I played on a different DS

The thing is, I have 3 towns and they're all on different times (though generally around the same date). It's odd because I tend to play super late at night (lately around 3am - thanks insomnia), so if I'm playing at 3am on a Friday (for example), my game will say something like 7pm on Thursday. But in each game the time is different.
Ahh I'm so confused.
I think I'll just try and remember to keep my original 3DS charged and play that town ONLY on that 3DS so I don't risk anything. My other two towns should be ok.

I'll just try to make sure I play my certain towns on certain DSes when I can.

Yes it would. And you can always create a new character to see if it looks good, as the game won't save it in it's place
Can you really do this? I guess you could drop enough bells for the new character and donate them, but can a new character donate to the gyroid before doing the beginning stuff and saving first?
Thanks! But creating a new character really wouldn't make a difference, would it? I chose where the PWP would be placed, it's not random. (I just wanna make sure it doesn't look bad on the town map, too bad it doesn't preview that. :/)

Set the time to 5:55am and then 5 minutes later load a new character. If it looks bad on the map, exit out of ACNL without saving and load your main character, time travelling anytime before 6am and talk to Isabelle. You can then cancel the pwp before it is built. However all money that has gone to PWP will be forfeited. Hope this helps.

I don't know if the new character can donate to the gyroid but you can follow what I said above.
Just to quadruple check, deleting a digital copy of New Leaf isn't going to mess with a physical copy? Yes?
I guess I just wanna make absolute sure before I do anything, seeing as I don't want a repeat of corrupting my new town. I literally just started this one because my last got corrupted for some reason.

I don't own a digital copy, but I'm pretty sure that cartridge data is saved to the cartridge, not to the system. You can put the same cartridge in two 3DS's and your town will be the same, so I don't think that any data on the 3DS (besides the clock) has anything to do with your town on a cartridge. I own two cartridges and deleted one town and my other town is fine, so I don't see why this would be any different with a digital copy. Maybe make sure your physical copy is not in your 3DS when you reset (I don't think it really matters but you never know). If the cartridge is out of the 3DS when you reset your digital copy, then I cannot see any way in which resetting could affect your physical copy.
