With Admiral leaving on Thursday, I scanned the amiibo card of my favorite ostrich Rio on Thursday night. For some reason, it takes three camping visits to invite an amiibo villager into town in New Horizons instead of just one like in New Leaf. Even in New Horizons, it only takes one visit if it’s a regular camper…so this three-visit requirement for amiibo villagers makes no sense to me.
When Rio arrived at the campsite, she asked me to craft a wooden box for her. I did it immediately, and she gave me a do-rag in return.
Yesterday (Friday), I invited Rio to the campsite again. This time, she asked me to craft a birdhouse for her. I made it for her, and she gave me a tiny party cap. She said after one more visit, she may be ready to move in.
Ketchup surprised me by wearing my block pattern; that’s the square that I use for my sumo ring!
It isn’t really meant for clothing, but I apparently displayed it at Able Sisters at some point in the past…and forgot about it.
I then surprised Ketchup by giving her some French fries! 😛 🍟
Today, my plan to adopt Rio hit a snag. A major snag. A big, hairy, ugly, infuriating snag.
Warning: Rant Incoming
Let me first say that this 3-time camping requirement is incredibly stupid. If the moving system was more like New Leaf, where the 10th spot won’t auto-fill with a random animal, I could understand it more. But this game typically only gives you one day to find a 10th villager. And you can’t have an amiibo camper visit three days in a one-day span! It’s asinine!
The fact that I’m getting Beardo is just adding insult to injury. He’s one of the ugliest villagers in the game, and I really, really dislike him. I would rather have Rizzo back than have Beardo, and I’m being 100% serious about that.
I know some of you may be thinking I should just scan Rio again to force Beardo out after one day in town. But in a lot of ways, I’m kind of a purist, and I hate the idea of forcing a villager out…especially when it’s done with an amiibo card (as opposed to a random camper).
So I guess I’ll just make the most of it. Forest will have a new villain for the first time since Rizzo left, and I’ll be sure to use some pitfall seeds on him. I’ll try to have fun with it. And eventually, Rio will move in.
K.K. Slider was in town tonight. I told him I was feeling a little blue, and he performed K.K. Waltz for me, Louie, and Agent S.
I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow.
