Where it all began

I’ve been wanting to check up on my original Animal Crossing town on AC:GC (called Ordale) for a while now. I finally did this morning and decided to share these pictures of my first town. 🙂 I’ll post them in the order they were taken rather than arranging them in an order that makes sense. That way you can get a feel for how lost I was wandering around my old town.



Unlike AC:WW, the title screen doesn’t show your own town, but randomly generated towns and characters.



Ahh Jane! She used to scare me a little. Why does she have Olivia’s catchprase? Olivia (the first Animal Crossing villager I met) probably moved out of Ordale ages ago. 😦



The first thing I see when I step outside is clutter on the ground and the gaudy exterior of my house. My tastes have changed a bit since then. 😆



The left side of my main room, in which I used harvest furniture — probably because it was the only complete series I had. 😛 When I played AC:GC, it was more lazy and relaxing in that I didn’t have any big goals like completing my catalog or whatever like I do now.



The other side. This tiny chair in front of the TV makes no sense realistically. 😆 I should give my younger self a break, though; I was, what, 9 when this game came out?



I’m not sure what the deal is with my upstairs. It looks like I had a plan for it with the carpet and wallpaper, then it turned into a random storage room.



The outside of my dad’s house. He’s from Tennessee, lol.



He has a space theme going on in his main room, and the noises of the gyroids really add to the atmosphere.



I like his upstairs a lot better. It seems cozy and livable, like a room you might see in a real house — except for the random suit of armor. 😛 (To be fair, storage was really limited in this game!)



My dad payed off his debt before I did, so he got the gold statue. If I had known that you get a statue when you pay off the last debt, I would have worked harder on it. 😦 (Why did he name his character Bob?)



My sad silver statue with hardly any flowers. 😦



Nookington’s looks nice with red and yellow flowers. 🙂



Tom Nook. Glad they changed his greeting dialogue in Wild World. -_-



Sorry Otis, I don’t remember you at all.



Make up your minds about my weight! 😛



The waterfall. 🙂 More flowers would make this a better spot.



Ordale’s map



But … you said you remembered me! 😥



Geez, sorry 😮



This would be a nice spot without the weeds.



Checking out the Able Sisters. After playing Wild World for so long, it’s weird not having it next to Nook’s!



I made the plaid pattern; my dad make the T pattern and the bikini pattern. The band uniform and brown suit were from the game’s guide book. Not sure about the others…



I think I remember her. (How can you forget a name like Nosegay?)



Posing next to the strange painting and the amazing(?) painting, which is really by Paul Cezanne…



Hey, the fossil exhibit looks complete!



Hardly any bugs in here. 😦 I wasn’t very good at catching bugs until Wild World.



haha, I remember my orchard!


Aziz is still here!

I’ve been playing Wild World, too bad you’re not in it. 😦



I don’t remember having Poncho in Ordale… I actually want him in one of my WW towns. The jock personality is my least favorite type, but he’s cute.


These are two “new” (who knows how long they’ve been there without me meeting them) neighbors:







Yep, this is the message I expected. 😛



Turning in…
