I can only guess it would never happen, but take this into consideration:
Pokemon Crossing!
The villagers are all Pokemon-- each villager is a different one! You're the only human in town (just like with the animal crossing games) and they take the place of villagers. Fish and bugs are replaced with bug/fish Pokemon, but everything else is the same! No trainer themes, no battling, it's just Animal Crossing but replaced with Pokemon~
I've seen this idea tossed around many times, and it'd be really cool to see it become a thing someday! Nintendo's always doing spinoffs of AC, and I could see this one being really popular and a big success~
