what do you hope for in the next main game?

I forgot to mention in my list of ideas before:

1.) Refurbishing.
I like the refurbishing feature in New Leaf, and I wish that there will be more options for some furniture. Customizing food items were really great too! And I wish that when a villager returns your customized furniture, the customization is still intact.

2.) Pro-Designs.
As I've mentioned in my previous post, I do wish that there were more space for custom designs. I wish I can also customize pants and skirts.

3.) Perfect Fruits.
I'd like to grow perfect fruits even if they're not native to my town.

I would love a lot of things to happen in the next main game. Like being able to catch the jellyfish like KaydeeKrunk said, have new fruits like strawberries and grapes, be the president of a country instead of being the mayor of a town, have perfect tropical fruits, like perfect bananas and durians. Also I would like more public work projects to be intractable, like being able to jump in the hot spring, or climbing the totem pole. Also maybe make birds and owls catchable bugs.
 
I would really, really like for it to be on the Wii U and allow me to play with my mom. She has her own Wii U and loves AC...but can't play on a 3DS because the screen is too small for her to see. I live several states away. It'd be really nice to be able to run around in each others' towns and such again (we used to play together on City Folk before, but no more visiting now!)
 
What really frustrates me is when I wanna pick up something and remove a path my accident. So like a double klick on the button to remove the path would be an awesome idea to prevent accidental removal of the path.

it annoys me so much, that i have to switch characters everytime that happens..
 
I want the angle/design you view your town from when you're walking around to be more realistic and cool. Sort of like a sonic game lmao. (I couldn't think of another example) Like this:

Of course I still want it to keep the look of Animal Crossing I just want the angle to be like that and the sizings of buildings/pwps/plants to be more realistic.
 
It would be great to see the villagers interacting with any pwps besides the benches! :D I know they mention it sometimes, but it's always the same dialogue.

Controlling where the villagers plot their houses would be a life-saver!! And I love how in HHD you can move furniture by using the touch screen, and am thinking they're definitely going to integrate that in a new game.
 
I would like to see more interactions with the Beach Area! Maybe a beach shop that sells all kinds of bathing suits, more wetsuits and scuba diving gear! Or even to be able to expand your beach as your town grows!
 
Platypus villagers. The villagers could go swimming and bathe in the sun, also have official seasonal clothes.

Maybe have bird watching as a thing (And the bird/duck/ostrich villagers could make snappy comments about it). More interaction with the museum, maybe let the player work more in detail with the diggings and examination of paintings.

More space for all the stuff in the player's closet/drawer (different closets would have seperate free spaces), if the game won't hit it's limits.

Watching the stars should be a thing again (with Celeste). Maybe let the players make their own constellations for all to see but have some sort of report button if there's something offensive up in the sky.

The possibility to send letters to other players outside your own town (friends/if you know their friendcode or such).
If there are problems with that, then... Maybe have a report system for that, too?...

Also the possibility to work at ex. Able Sisters, The Museum, Nook's Cranny besides the Roost (kind of how Ai worked in the movie). The player could also be guard or a police of sorts if Copper and Booker are there.

Greater detail (about the history of) the villagers/special characters. Have the villagers tell you what they want to become, maybe let them have jobs as well.

... I'm too fixed on the idea of the player or villagers having a job ._.

Yeah, thats add a report button for those people who will get offended for seeing the word "God" in the sky. Lets get offended at seeing a pee pee in the sky.

this is what ive been saying <3 like in the mario kart course so itll feel like were in a forest or however you decide to design yoour town
 
I pretty much want the same as everyone else, but yeah:

1. More skintones/hair options. Being able to pick from the male/female hair options the moment you unlock hairdresser would be a good start. Would also love to be able to have darker skin permanently, bit silly that you can't really. Also, as much as I like the conversation at the beginning that determines your looks, it had been handy to just get a good old character creator in there, my first mayor looked weird af, simply because I had no idea my conversation with Rover mattered haha.

2. More storage space, both for inventory stuff and also for designs, both get filled up all the time and it's annoying to have to have several alts just to store things. Designs had been handy if they did it like they do on the sims, it's simply stored in a folder on your console, so in theory it's infinite as long as you have the hard drive space.

3. Better and more fluid dialogue with your villagers, ex villagers remember you and living there, each villager has at least one conversation that is unique only to them and not just to their type, because right now every villager is essentially the same. If I change a villagers catchphrase to that of a different villager, what difference do they really have a part from their looks. Also more distinct personalities had been great really.

4. Ability to use pro design to make more clothes, like, just a skirt, pants/shorts, socks, shoes and so on.

5. More Pwps. Being able to move them for a small fee, instead of having to knock them down and rebuild them. (and they should be rotateable. So should your house be for that matter)

6. Decide where your villagers put their plot down. Though you should have an option to pick 'I don't really care'/random, for those that like the randomness of the game.

7. No amiibo cards. At all. Ever. It's like random packs in a CoD game, except marketed at children. 'Do you want to cycle for this villager ooooor do you want to spend ?5 for a chance to obtain them instantly? Also featuring: super special popular villagers like Marshal - unobtainable unless you have his card.' Meh, eff that to be honest haha.

8. Decorating stuff like you can in HDD. Pleaaaaaaaaaase.

9. Being able to move rocks. Like ok, I get that the rocks apparently are sacred or something so we can't destroy them cos the animal crossing gods would be cross. BUT PLEASE, let me atleast move it one inch to the left.

I hope for Nintendo to listen to the practical stuff of what we want (like to be able to place PWPs better, including being able to rotate them, to have a lot of the same HHD features, picking where your villagers move in and STORAGE)

But also like if it's on the WiiU maybe the gamepad could have a similar functionality as the bottom screen of the DS system? (I don't know, that might actually be worse than what they've already got in mind tho)

Also someone mentioned (on another similar thread) an improved outside camera feature, and that could be cool!

This is pretty much want I want. (practical changes)

-I want to be able to rotate the camera when outside.
-Not have Isabelle around when building PWP. Drop the lecture on spaces! just give me a grid that pops up that shows you where you can place & rotate the PWP.
-Make Blathers blather again.
-Bring back Wisp
-More interactive responses to letters & word recognition. The thing people said about sending letters to other players.
INVENTORY FIXES!!- When you dig up bamboo or whatever..be able to STACK IT instead of having to bury it again when your pockets are full.
I have to stack things, dig it back up & then add it to the basket--that's stupid.
-Drawers organized & more storage space for items. A search feature.
-When you catch snowflakes, you can stack them or keep in a jar of 10 or something.

-flowing conversations that don't have to restarted again and again by saying hello. Expansion packs for added dialog & letter responses for long-term players.
They could keep working on dialog & release cards with a number of new conversations you could buy as they create it.

-DESIGN ROOM. I think running out of space for my designs annoys me the most when making customs & signs in town.
Also when using QR machine. I want to have a bunch of dress designs on me! :)

Nocturnal animals like Owls & Bats to see during the night, but sleep in their homes during the day.

-Make the Island bigger & more interesting. Villagers occasionally move out into little huts instead of a void.

- - - Post Merge - - -

I really hope that there is more decorating aspects like in HHD I love the functionality of it, like you could have an inventory open and just select the items to drop in the room and stuff. I also really hope that permanent residents become possible and that there would be a kind of "hotel" to be the campsite, so you have a while longer than a day to try to get someone out to move the new person in, like maybe 5 days or a week before they leave so if you really want them you can get them. And the villagers in the hotel can traverse your town and interact and buy things and stuff and then you can have a "mayor" fund and the nicer your town is the more villager visit and the more income you get and the income for the mayor fund can only be used towards PWP and ordinances not for personal stuff, but this way we don't have to pay for the PWP's out of our own pocket. I really hope the dream towns carry over but that they make it so you can go with friends you have over. I hope that the maps are larger and that they have more variety then ACNL like completely different shaped islands and stuff instead of just the same little corner shaped island that just changes slightly. I hope the actual Tortimer island carries over (and that Leilani grows up) or at least other "places" for you to visit like that, it would be cool if there was a place that was always winder too like uh, Jingle-Town or something. I really like the family idea too, it would be neat if villagers could become closer and then move in with each other and have kids (kind of in a tomodatchi life way) but instead of like mutant mixed species babies they would just take after the mom or the dad, and then there could be a whole "matchmaker" aspect of it that you can do and then there could be like special things on Valentine's day for the couples. it would also be neat if each save file had a different purpose, like one as the "mayor" one as the "gardener" and one as the "worker" who can work at the places like Nook's and stuff, it would be neat to be able to pick your purpose in the town like that and be able to only have one of each. I also hope that the special characters actually have homes so when they get off work you can actually go and hang out with them cause I really want to hang out with Sable and Isabelle when they aren't working, and freaking Isabelle needs a damn break already! And with that nothing should be open 24/7, everything should have hours which you can tweak like in ACNL to be "earlier" or "later" but still have hours they're open, and then we can hopefully have a larger inventory so we can stash more stuff until places to sell and turn in stuff are opened. And I hope we can dress villagers and give them accessories in the new one as well because that would be amazing! HEART GLASSES FOR ALL THE SNOOTY!!!Also being able to see when you dive would be amazing, like when you dive being able to see the reef and the critter you're after, and actually being able to catch the jellyfish!!! And being able to make a "tank" like purchase a certain sized tank to hold ___ amount of critters and making your own little tank, instead of all of the singular tanks they auto in. =[

There are really so many things I want and hope are in the new one, but even though most of them wont happen I will probably still love it...

I loved reading this so much.
I think they could only do this on the next Nintendo console & not the DS because of memory issues, but then at least it would be capable of making all of this happen & also you could get expansion packs for dialog & new items like a game on the PC can.

They could fix the basic thing for a DS release ( I like being able to privately play on the DS, no one needs to see how much time I spend talking to villagers LOL on a big screen, or shaking trees & picking fruit for an hour...)

and then add all this 3D stuff like diving etc for the big screen console release. :)

It would be nice if they added more depth to the characters, and added variety to the dialogue. I think cooking might be a good idea, and more minigames with the villagers. And like everyone else is saying, I hope they would apply the same graphics as they used to design the Animal Crossing track in Mario Kart 8
 
it would be nice if we could choose an area where the villagers move in & I wish the villagers would have more of an individual personality

- - - Post Merge - - -

and more locker space!
 
YES PLATYPUSES

Anyways, option to choose skin colors and remove the stupid tan thing. I loved that you in HHD you cold chose the tone, much like Mii creation...
 
multiple save slots. really. it would be awesome if i can have multiple towns and multiple mayors. like if you want to share a game card with sb else.
 
I'd love to be able to just evict unwanted villagers, but I guess that would be too easy though, lol.

I want the islanders back! I miss Dobie ;-; and now that the Tortimer island exists, maybe they could expand it and add a little beach house or something?

I'd also love to just be able to pick your character's hair, eyes, face, etc. like in Happy Home Designer!
 
I hope for the ability to customize your house more, like you do in HHD. And choose where villagers put their houses :)
