I lurked around here for a bit, then decided to join.
Pocket Camp was my first "introduction" to the series, back in late 2018. My real introduction was City Folk, which was in June of this year. I wanted to start with Population Growing! first, then work my way up to each subsequent installment, but I was on my old computer at the time, and I wasn't feeling confident it could handle a certain emulator. I also skipped Wild World initially, because of how it's written off as the worst game in the series — with CF being a console version of the game without the limitations of the DS holding it back, and honestly, I regret allowing that misconception to cloud my judgment. I eventually managed to have my more advanced (though still a bit old) computer "fixed", for lack of a better term, so it was only a matter of time before I emulated the first two games.
A month later, I got myself a New 2DS system, mainly for two 3DS games: one of them being New Leaf. Before I emulated Wild World, I decided on rather I should buy that instead, or the former. I chose NL, and played WW, as I waited for the game to arrive; I wanted to make sure I was well-acquainted with every game preceding NL in order to fully appreciate what it did for the franchise.
New Horizons is a game I have yet to play, and I want to judge it on my own standards.
There you have it. My background in the series isn't very remarkable, I know, but it was just something I wanted to share, anyway. CF and NL are my most frequent games, so if anyone wants to hit me up on the latter, read the address below, and I'll have my CF town address posted soon, too.

Do you have one AC game that stands out over the others? Are you planning to try NH?
