* In ''New Horizons'', Joan has apparently gotten too old to travel, so her granddaughter Daisy Mae is the one who sells turnips to the player. Daisy Mae apparently lives with her grandmother and her parents are never mentioned. Since Joan is so old that she can't travel anymore, it's possible she may die of old age before Daisy Mae is grown, leaving her alone in the world.

** Your player is then also trilingual (or bilingual until Bebebese was scrapped in ''New Leaf''). They think in the game's language, but can seemingly understand Animalese/Bebebese, whichever the town prefers to speak. Which begs the question - can the player actually understand characters code-switching to Bebebese for SarcasmMode purposes, or did they lose the ability to speak it between 2008 and 2013?
** Tom Nook can speak Raccoonish, making him able to speak 4 languages at least. A linguist's equivalent to God.

They think in the game's language, but can seemingly understand Animalese/Bebebese, whichever the town prefers to speak. Even after ''New Leaf'' scraps Bebebese, your player thinks in it when catching a fish or insect. Which begs the question - can the player actually understand do special characters code-switching know that players know full well what they're saying when they code-switch to Bebebese for SarcasmMode purposes, or did they lose purposes?
** +1 language for everybody when you include Silence. For
the ability to speak it between 2008 curious, a demonstration starts here and 2013?

* Villagers are bilingual at least, and even trilingual for those introduced before ''New Leaf'', and code-switch regularly. They speak to you in Animalese (or Bebebese), and write letters to you in the game's language. In ''New Leaf'', Bebebese is reserved for special characters who want to go into HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier with SarcasmMode.

* Ever wait until 6 AM, only to discover your house has been upgraded within the space of a second? This may seem like an AssPull or an [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality Accepted Break From Reality]] unless you played ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros4'' in which Villager's Final Smash shows Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy appearing out of nowhere, building a house around the other players within a second, then immediately disappearing.

* In Pocket Camp, there was an event where the player could catch the [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} squid and octopus forms of Inklings and Octolings]] and show them to Chip, who would then talk about them much the same way he would other fish. You heard me right: Chip wants to [[SapientEatSapient eat the sentient, civilized]] [[WouldHurtAChild Inklings]] [[ChildEater and Octolings]].

** Alternatively, since we know Lottie used to work for Nook at the Happy Home Academy and now runs her own company, it's entirely possible Nook passed his secrets to her, and she now passes them to us, ie. we haven't so much as been ripped off, we just didn't know the secret to his techniques until Happy Home Paradise opened up an avenue to learn them.

* In the Happy Home Paradise DLC for ''New Horizons'', adjusting the size of a room is as easy as adjusting a dial on a menu in the customization screen. So Tom Nook really HAS been ripping us off all these years!

* As spooky as the Gyroids are when you consider their ''haniwa'' origins, ''New Horizons'' brings in a curious question to the table: Why do Gyroids restore themselves after you water fragments of them when they're buried? For that matter, why do they start showing up after rainfall?

Im A Humanitarian is about cannibalism, not about eating other sentient life forms.

** Wait, if the above is true, then why is Redd the vendor for the August weekly firework shows? Isabelle! Redd built up a rapport with Isabelle over the course of New Leaf, where Redd was a vendor for multiple events, and Nook begrudgingly allows him in to sell his wares, likely with the caveat that Redd can't sell furniture.
