A Pokemon fan has created videos revealing what a crossover with Animal Crossing could look like. Pokemon has been a long-running success for Nintendo and Animal Crossing is a more recent mega sales hit, and this collaboration idea could perfectly pair the two for a unique game.
Since the first Animal Crossing was released, the animal villagers have been key to making the towns and islands feel alive. Though there were fewer in the first game than the number of animal species featured in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, all the characters followed a personality model that's still in use today. Cranky villagers became less rude over the different evolutions to the formula, but Jock, Snooty, Lazy, and Normal personalities have been largely unchanged. Since the first game's release, some Pokemon fans have wondered what a town full of Pokemon in their place would look like. One gamer has interpreted Animal Crossing with Pokemon villagers to give fans an idea of what a collaboration may look like.
Reddit user SpicyBeefu recently shared some videos revealing what they expect a Pokemon crossover with Animal Crossing would look like. The videos revolve around Pokemon like Teddiursa, Vulpix, and more acting as villagers in a setting that looks remarkably similar to Wild World for the Nintendo DS. While the animations look less smooth than New Horizons players would expect, the graphics from the early entry may invoke feelings of nostalgia in long-time fans. Each Pokemon has its unique lines of dialogue in this collaboration concept, providing more narrative than repeating their own names as they often do in the Pokemon anime and games. These videos expand on a concept that the Reddit user established with a clip focusing on the Electric-type Pokemon Mareep.
These Pokemon are in standard scenes from Animal Crossing, with trees in the backdrop and a recognizable pattern on the ground. Teddiursa seemingly has the Jock personality, while Vulpix is Peppy, and Mareep is Normal. The beginning of the Teddiursa clip highlights how the Pokemon can shake trees as villagers do while they wander the village according to their needs. The Vulpix video has the Pokemon replacing its outfit with Animal Crossing clothing handed out by the protagonist, showcasing that changing their wardrobe would be as easy as the official games. Just like in Wild World or New Horizons, these Pokemon also have catchphrases and nicknames for the player, which may suggest that the crossover would include deep levels of interaction with the Pokemon.
Though it's unlikely that Animal Crossing and Pokemon will ever cross over like this, the concepts from SpicyBeefu may give fans hope. There have been many Pokemon spin-off games over the years, ranging from

Gamers are being inspired by the Willy Wonka fiasco that recently happened in Scotland, recreating the barren and meme-worthy experience in their favorite titles. Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Far Cry 5 have both gotten humorous renditions of the disastrous event, which drew in customers with its misleading AI-generated advertisements. The forlorn recreation of Roald Dahl’s magical world turned out to be a threadbare experience with a lone Oompa-Loompa rationing out jellybeans to children and The Unknown (a nonexistent character made up by AI) then jumping out to scare them silly.

It was later followed by a pair of sequels, and .

I already knew Lego’s new Animal Crossing: New Horizons sets were going to be cute — I mean, look at them — and yet I was still impressed with all the tiny little details there are to appreciate for die-hard Animal Crossing fans like me. Yes, Lego’s included all the things you might expect, like fruit trees, Bell bags, and flying presents, but there’s also a bevy of smaller things that surprised and delighted me when I put together the sets with my family.
March is an excellent month for critter collectors in , as the seasons change and new bugs, fish, and deep-sea creatures emerge from their hiding places. Players in the Northern Hemisphere will be able to enjoy the springtime sunshine and showers, while Southern Hemisphere players can look forward to the fall.

Willy Wonka has recently been trending for all the wrong reasons, and an recreation of the event that cast his name into disrepair captures all that's equal parts sad and funny about it. Although Willy Wonka's chocolate factory is intended to be even more wondrous than it is unsettling, a Glasgow Wonka-themed event missed out on the note about the whimsy. What was supposed to be an exciting destination for kids turned out to be a mostly empty warehouse with some amusingly pitiful attempts at decoration, and images of the affair are hard to forget.
