I love this game!

[Pikachu!]

Hi everyone I am a HUGE pokémon fan, but I recently purchased Animal Crossing new Horizons and I LOVE IT!!! I have upgraded my house, got Blathers to the island and found some aesthetic villagers... I had been introduced to the game by my friend who plays both pokémon and ACNH and one time I went over to his house and he let me play it for a bit. I immediately fell in love with the game... The graphics are great, there's a real motivation to log in every day, and just the general aestheticness of the game. I have to admit that since I got the game (Dec 29) I have only gone 1 day without playing, it has me HOOKED! The previous animal crossing installments were mediocre ngl, but ACNH is different, in some way... My two favorite villagers are Iggy and Kiki, I read that Iggy is generally more stingy but I have developed a good relationship with him so far. And oh yeah I've visited other folks' islands to see what theirs are like, really advanced, apparently there's eventually a way to "Terraform" your island, but they've been playing for a couple years now, so... anyway, just wanted to share how satisfied I am with this game. I'm new here and if I am posting in the wrong section I'm really sorry but I will try to check in here pretty often so yeah! With ACNH i'm having a great gaming experience!

In order to terraform, you’ll need to reach a three star island and have K.K. Slider visit your island. Isabelle will give you a rating. Terraforming can be overwhelming at first but you’ll get the hang of it! I’m glad you are enjoying the game so much.

oooh you're lucky, i love Kiki, she's such a comfort villager for me. Glad you're enjoying the game! By the way, make sure you're wishing on shooting stars whenever you can. I missed the opportunity for Capricorn fragments so late December is my next chance :,)
Here are some tips:
1. The glowy spots are useful to dig up, see what you find!
2. Talking to ur villagers at least 2 times in a row is good if you want to chat about more interesting things.
3. You can customize your tools!
4. Water flowers every day. Good for your flowers and you might discover some surprises!
5. Your villagers will be crafting in their homes from time to time. Logging on in the morning, afternoon and later at night is the best way to get the most DIYs out of a day. It's optional of course if you don't have the time.
6. If you can craft it, 95% of the time you can customize it.
7. Try not to rush
Have fun!
