In the game, a sign transforms into an NPC villager's house overnight. Such RidiculouslyFastConstruction is plausible even in [[RealLife our world]]; see [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%B7_unnos Welsh one-night houses]].

[[WMG: Gyroids are Animal Crossing's equivalent to Pokemon.]]
Most of you will know that there are multiple variants of Gyroids all of which differ both in appearance and the noises they make. Similarly to Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist, they can differ in size also. The noises they make are essentially their cries and they don't start vocalising until you activate them, so much like how Pokemon are commanded to use specific moves, Gyroids don't vocalise until you tell them to. Lloid meanwhile could very likely be a Legendary or Mythical Gyroid due to there being only one of him and the fact that he's capable of speech, something that a handful of Legendary Pokemon like Mewtwo (via telepathy) are capable of. Considering that Gyroids are based off of Haniwa figures, they could all be dual ghost types with the other typing based on their appearance such as Dekkoids being Ghost/Grass type due to their obvious resemblance to a cactus.

[[WMG: Harvey is related to Isabelle and Digby.]]
Both Harvey and Isabelle are breeds that both have ears hanging on the sides of their head which may sound farfetched until you consider the fact that families of dogs may crossbreed with a different species. If you pay attention to one of Isabelle's announcements in New Horizons, she'll mention having a video call with her parents so we can cross out the possibility that Harvey is her father due to a quote said by Harvey in the New Leaf Welcome Amiibo update where he says he has a bit of a crush of Harriet, then come New Horizons with Harriet now residing in Harvey's island making it very likely that the two have started dating so thus wouldn't be Isabelle and Digby's parents. At best, Harvey could very well be either Isabelle and Digby's uncle or more likely, a distant cousin.

[[WMG: Rex and Elvis are brothers.]]
They look very similar and are both from a set of quadruplets. Their birthdays are 1 day apart, so it's possible that Elvis was born on 11:58pm July 23rd and Rex was born 5 minutes afterwards.

[[WMG: Daisy is the mother of KK Slider]]
On the cover of K.K. Lullaby, someone who bears a striking resemblance to Daisy can be seen cradling what is clearly a baby KK in her arms. Daisy must be his mother. If not, then possibly a worker in an orphanage or a nanny.

[[WMG: Star fragments are radioactive]]
They come from space and can be used to create high-tech devices like satellites and robots (arguably wands too, given Clarke's Third Law), and while shooting stars aren't actually stars (just bits of rock and metal burning up in the atmosphere), but who's to say the player is wishing for pieces of the meteors themselves rather than something they can use to make really cool high-tech stuff?

[[WMG: The reason CJ and Flick were introduced]]
Nintendo may have realized that people might find Chip and Nat eating the bugs and fish the players catch disturbing if they're the kind of person that likes those animals as pets, and thus not only replaced them, but replaced them with characters who shared their interest in bugs and fish.

[[WMG: Blathers isn't actually afraid of bugs]]
He's just pretending to be in order to make his dialogues about them a bit more entertaining, similar to how sometimes people talk about mundane things with more gross or morbid terminology for the sake of humor (referring to honey as "bee vomit," eggs as "chicken abortions," flowers as "plant genitals," etc.). In this case, he's playing up the bugs as being scary in order to reach out to museum patrons who have a FreakyIsCool mindset. And besides, if he was so scared of bugs, then why would he have habitats for them in five different museums?

[[WMG: K.K. doesn't actually resent his record label and it's just a persona he puts on to look "hip" and "edgy."]]
I mean, he's been putting out albums that use instruments other than acoustic guitars and letting stores sell them for 5 games now (I might be wrong on the "letting stores sell them" part; the only AC games I've played are New Leaf and New Horizons so I don't know if the other games let the player buy music), so clearly he's fine with his label (if he wasn't, he'd have quit a LONG time ago and found some other source of income) and the anti-corporate image he puts on is just a marketing gimmick either he or his label came up with to appeal to a certain demographic; combined with him apparently being the only musical act around, he/his label is/are DEFINITELY rich enough to give out free albums (but not rich enough to give out more than one per concert).

But the gyroids don't stop there. Let's move onto a particular villager that especially has to do with them. Coco. Coco looks like a coconut, and it's easy to say, "Well duh! Her name is Coco because she looks like a coconut!". That may be true, however, her name has more meaning than a person may see on the surface. Her name, in Japanese, also means "Yayoi" which is the period of Japan where Haniwa figures began. We've already talked about the Haniwas/gyroids and what their purpose was, but it's more complicated for Coco, as YouTuber '[=TheBigOReview=]' brings up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w77QSyIj10). As he explains, Coco's room is designed to be that of a Buddhist Japanese cremation ritual. There's evidence of the first cremation in Japan starting in the Jomon period, which would've been right before the Yayoi period in which Coco supposedly was based from, during which the Buddhist religion and cremation methods were ongoing. Sometimes, the Haniwas would be formed WITH the ashes of the deceased after the bodies would be cremated. This perfectly adds up with the theory that Coco is a special gyroid that's different from the other gyroids due to her ashes being mixed with the clay and forming a new body, allowing her to walk and live amongst the "naked" souls, but not entirely grounded in clay like the other gyroids. The fact that Coco is even able to walk amongst you further supports the theory that Animal Crossing takes place in Purgatory.

[[WMG: The "Deserted Island Getaway Package" from ''New Horizons'' has been Tom Nook's long-time dream since the very first ''Animal Crossing''.]]
Although we don't get the details, Tom Nook had an unfortunate experience trying to strike it rich in the big city, being denied a loan at the bank as well as being swindled by so-called business partners. This led him to become cynical and distrusting of everyone he meant from then on. However, this also inspired him to make a society of his own; a society where everyone was honest and fair. Of course, setting off on such an adventure is a massive (not to mention expensive) undertaking, so across the first four games (''Animal Crossing'', ''Wild World'', ''City Folk'', and ''New Leaf'') Tom sets out to raise money to help sustain a new society. Of course, Tom also had to keep the lights on at whatever business he was running, so some of the money he made must have gone towards making sure he could still run his shop(s). This also explains why he would force the player into loans in the early games. He was attempting to earn as much money as he could get. Then, come ''New Leaf'' he stops forcing loans on the player, possibly because he was near to being able to finally make his dream a reality. He also stops building homes without a down payment, possibly to the money he would have had to spend building a base house. Once everything's ready, he prepares the "Deserted Island Package Getaway" for anyone interested and started making preparations to make sure everyone had anything they might need. The day of the flight to the deserted island arrives, and the rest, as they say, is history.

[[WMG: ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' amiibo cards will be re-released for ''New Horizons'' in honour of the 30th anniversary.]]
Although the anniversary was in February, Nintendo has a tradition of celebrating the anniversary late. The Mario furniture and Sanrio amiibos from ''New Leaf'' were recently introduced to ''New Horizons'', so perhaps the Zelda amiibos will be also be introduced later this year (2021).
