Nintendo apologizes and provides 250 free leaf tickets to Animal Crossing Pocket Camp players for the last update where the company changed the way Gulliver behaves and works in the game.
The last major update for Pocket Camp has made many fans, including myself a little upset. With Gulliver now being a lot less beneficial to players and locking certain animals behind a pay wall, fans of the game wrote thousands of letters to Nintendo and have made their voices heard on social media.
Nintendo finally responded to the backslash with a generous apology by gifting every Animal Crossing Pocket Camp players 250 leaf tickets – free of charge! Furthermore the big N also promised to make changes in the coming months. These promised changes will affects Gulliver’s Ship and allow players to give random furniture or clothing items once again. There will also be adjustments to prices and the general balance of the game.
How to claim your gift!
You can start up Animal Crossing Pocket Camp today to claim your 250 free leaf tickets, make sure you do so before October 23rd to be able to get your gift! It should already be waiting for you in your mailbox!
I think that this is a great move from Nintendo, even though this update should have never been done in the first place, it is good to see Nintendo stays in touch and listens to fans who breath the life into these amazing games.

There is yet another cool crossover going down in Pocket Camp, and this time it’s Dr. Mario.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has had plenty of kooky and classy crossovers to add some really special content to our camps. Crossover content has actually been quite a large part of what makes Pocket Camp such a special mobile game. Not only have we gotten items and clothing from these crossovers, but even game functionality with the Happy Homemaker crossover.
We’ve seen a lot spectacular crossovers with titles like Splatoon, Mario, Pokemon and even Hello Kitty. Whether you’re finding the perfect place to set your giant plush Eevee, or deciding to look like Mario with or without the mustache, Animal Crossing Pocket camp crossovers have always added just that little extra to keep Pocket Camp on our playlist.
The latest crossover to join the Pocket Camp updates is with the recently released for mobile title, Dr. Mario World. This update comes in the form of a few themed gifts from the new title. Players who log in between the dates of 7/18/19 and 8/18/19 will receive three awesome virus tees and a Mario mustache that looks oddly familiar. They also recommend getting the doctors coat by raising your friendship with Raddle to level 7, if you haven’t already done so. Now you can look exactly like Dr. Mario himself!

Sanrio, the company behind Hello Kitty and many more adorable characters, first started out in Japan 40 years ago during the “kawaii” craze. They created their first merchandise of Hello Kitty in the 70’s and introduced her internationally shortly after. She has since become a huge media and pop culture icon. Who doesn’t love an adorable anthropomorphic cat that brings joy and friendship to everyone?
Hello Kitty and some of her friends were added into Animal Crossing: New Leaf as part of the Welcome Amiibo update but Westerners had to purchase the cards needed online (now out of print). Thankfully, the official Twitter page of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has just announced the Sanrio Characters Collection! The event starts July 11th, 2019 at 2:00 a.m. and will be separated into 3 parts. See below for what we can look forward to in just a couple of days.
- Collection #1 will celebrate Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll, with fortune cookies, wallpapers, backpacks, and more!
- The items in #2 and #3 will feature the characters in this image. Maybe you recognize them, campers? #2 will commence later in July, and #3 will start at the beginning of August.
- The fortune cookies and the Sanrio Characters Crafting Collection will come packed with cute rewards!
- Gyroidite Scavenger Hunt: Sanrio Characters Collection, you can gather Hello Kitty gyroidite to craft a bevy of delightful items, including 10 tees based on Sanrio Characters and even a Hello Kitty balloon!
- To mark the occasion, everyone will receive a Hello Kitty bow as a gift.
We want to know if our Potato family is as excited as we are for this limited-time event! We’ll definitely be playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp right away while we wait for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

There are plenty of strange things in the Animal Crossing franchise if you stop and think about it. It’s true that some elements of the game are more strange than others, and many are mostly likely unintentional due to the wholesome nature of the game. But Nintendo definitely has a sense of humor, so who really knows?
From predators and prey cohabiting peacefully (for the most part) to the respawning of buried fossils, here are some of the strangest and quirkiest things from the franchise that range from disconcerting to rather hilarious.
Make sure you also take a look at the absolute salvagers in Animal Crossing!
You’re the only human in a town full of animals.
You can shoot down UFO’s, flying presents, and poor Pete with a slingshot.
You can store 17 large items such as sharks, statues, beds and dressers in your pocket, but sending a fish in a letter is outrageous.
You can shake trees to sometimes obtain bells and furniture. However, you can also obtain angry hives of bees that WILL sting you
Items such as bird & hamster cages exist, small yellow birds can be seen by the bulletin board, and players are able to catch frogs. Yet there are bird, hamster and frog villagers also? ????
Blathers, the museum’s curator is an owl palaeontologist who is fond of fossils, and has a bizarre phobia of bugs
Blather’s younger and more defensive sister, Celeste, works in the museum’s observatory and has a keen interest in astronomy.
Your clothes are designed, made and sold by hedgehog sisters.
The local cafe is run by a pigeon barista who takes coffee extremely seriously.
Quitting without saving means dealing with a pickaxe-wielding mole with anger issues.
K.K. Slider/DJ KK is the only character who is often seen not wearing clothes.
Animals with no opposable thumbs can somehow utilise tools and write letters.
