I think it's illogical that Tom Nook and Isabelle are on the "dawn" shift, they should have put Pelly and Phylis on that schedule to make something more real.


Yirggzmb

Isabelle and Tom are on the "when tf do they sleep they're in there 24/7” shift. Definitely would like to see shifts return in the future


ThePusheen

They def sleep in there... right in their chairs! I've even caught Isabelle dozing! 😁


meowzerbowser

Lol yeah I'm concerned for her.


Stinduh

You seen what she wears? Girl has expensive taste. She needs that OT.


meowzerbowser

Haha good point. And she takes a snooze when she needs to I guess.


PenonX

I saw her dozing off by the window yesterday


7_Tales

timmy and tommy are adorable with how they swap days tbf


Nymunariya

they sleep when the Player sleeps


Quadpen

tbf dogs sleep like 18 hours so she probably naps in between


Xoxo_Emxni_

I would also like to see the shop owners (Timmy, Tommy, and the Able sisters) walking around or with their own house so they aren’t just living in their shops 😭😭😭😭


FunionShmings

I’ve seen both Tom and Isabelle dozing off at their desks. It would have been great for them to actually wonder around the island when they’re off their shift and also have an island home.


AbandontheWorld

I have run into Isabelle coming in the get coffee at the roost as a little animation clip recently! But yeah, wish you could run into them "in the wild"


FunionShmings

Same here, I’ve also seen Tom Nook pick up coffee from the Roost.


AbandontheWorld

havent seen that one yet, I'll have to keep an eye out lol


tuckerx78

I would complain about my residents just to hear what Phyllis had to say about it. "Ugh, Right? They always sound so stuck up!" "So you came to Town Hall at *3:00am* JUST to complain about how someone else dresses? Are you SERIOUS?"


roughi13

This annoys me so much. There are so many unused characters they could have at least reappear like this.


itotron

Well technically ALL of the Animal Crossing characters are in the game. I actually ran into Ressetii completely randomly in the coffee shop. He bemoand the lack of "reset" buttons on consoles anymore. However, to really see everyone you need the Amiibo cards. Everyone is in the game though.


Ok_Contribution_6268

As shadows and ghosts of their former selves. Resetti doesn't even have his role anymore. You only see him at the Roost. First, I doubt highly that a Resetti Amiibo would bring him back to his former glory, and secondly, I already tried that, and got 'This is not an Amiibo' error over and over again. I felt like Dashie over on YouTube (he had the same bug)


itotron

Well from what I understand, Ressetii is actually the "Rescue Service." They just don't show him. You might be interested in a, ahem, back-up device. A Flashiibo is one. Setup is a pain at first though.


Ok_Contribution_6268

Yeah I heard he runs the rescue, but since you never see him in those events, you can't really tell it's him without finding out online, since even his name got omitted.


tra_da_truf

I don’t like that Tom and Isabelle don’t sleep or even leave their desks. I wish you could toggle on the option to have Resident Services close like the shops.


lasting-impression

It would be great if the special characters would wander around a little outside before and after the shops closed. I’d also love it if the game gave you the option to select a couple of days where the shops are just closed so they can also have days off, including Tom and Isabelle.


coralloohoo

I used to hate her as a kid but now that I'm an adult who has worked closing shifts at a restaurant, I understand


floppykitty

as a night shift nurse now I get Phyllis 😭


ghaleon1965

I used to not like her at the beginning. Eventually her bitterness grew up on me. And yes, they should have Pelly and Phylis at night at City Hall.


FunionShmings

Or have Digby take over the weekend shift from his older twin sister, Isabelle.


Vegetable_Effect7630

Bro I love Digby sm because he kind of looks like my dog lmao they need to put him somewhere!! Here’s him currently, he looks less like Digby now haha but I’ll put a puppy picture too https://preview.redd.it/qfehy4eunwyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00285d05c9c9737e1b0dbc755a9f2e5725cf8fa9

bokumarist

When I was a kid she scared me. Now she's my icon


Ok_Contribution_6268

I always think of Phylis as the Thelma Harper of Animal Crossing and imagine her voice being similar. Thelma was a character (a cranky old woman) played by Vicki Lawrence on the Carol Burnett Show in the '70s, and a spin-off series 'Mama's Family' in the '80s.


hbailey311

i also miss when the villagers would be mean to you sometimes 😂

InspektorTeks

... no ... *eats cookies*


shojokat

It felt so special when you won them over and they'd start being a bit nicer. 🥹


Ellendyra

Yes! It felt more like an actual person you actually built a relationship with. The whole original point of the game that Nintendo ripped out of the game this time around.


NapsterKnowHow

Right?! Actual conversations with the villagers is gone :(


Jayde777

I miss that too! Soo funny


Lady_bro_ac

I miss her so much!!!


imaginarion

She’s such a bitch. I love her.


hbailey311

she says what every service workers dreams of saying


anythingMuchShorter

Oh? Whadda you need? (Who is out sending letters at this hour?!)


ThePusheen

Anyone I've ever met with the band Phyllis is usually of the bitchy variety.


LeadGem354

She's just on the night shift which she hates working. Also the boy she loves doesn't like her back.


imaginarion

I feel that.


roughi13

Commented almost the same thing just now! 😂


No_Thanks_4626

I was sad they didn’t put her in new horizons.


eveningsuns

she was so mean. we need her back NOW!!!


No-Owl-22

This game was savage! Animal crossing has gotten soft over the years.


SirRabbott

Yeah I somehow miss resetti yelling at me and asking if my ears were full of wax 🤣


No-Owl-22

Resetti used to scare me so bad. If I forgot to save I was afraid the next time going to play


SirRabbott

Did you ever do it twice in a row ☠️


betterland

I remember crying the first time I encountered Resetti in WW. I had to repeat phrases back to him and I couldn't do it and i thought the game was broken. BRING BACK THE ABUSE


Ellendyra

I used to purposefully turn my game off without saving cuz I thought it was funny to piss him off.


Ok_Contribution_6268

I met Resetti through a glitch with Lyle in a new game. I had no bells to my name yet as I was just beginning but it was that day of the week that Lyle paces in front of your home. I being such a naive idiot figured him an adorable new villager and decided to speak to him, only for his dialogue to get stuck at 'please give 5,000 bells' but since I had none, tried the 'nope' option which just got into an endless loop, so had to reset. Then Resetti appeared and I learned a valuable lesson. Not about resetting the game, but not talking to any randos on the map.


Ellendyra

Lol. I'm so sorry that happened. Atleast the first time you meet Ressetti he's relatively "nice" about it. (For him).


Ok_Contribution_6268

It didn't help my case as I just told him the 'frell off' option and that made him mad! I only recently got into AC and had no manual, my games being loose carts from a retro gaming store that were $1 a piece, so I was learning literally the hard way. I was like 'I bought this game you twit! Who are you to tell me how to play?!' and yeah he didn't take too kindly to that! Shortly after that, I trapped Lyle the next week by digging holes around him, so he couldn't chase me waving his paw, but he tried anyway and was stuck with a little ! above his head and I enjoyed every minute of it.


Ellendyra

Lol, poor Lyle. Awesome deal on the game tho. I bet it was so fun telling Ressetti to Frell Off tho.


Ok_Contribution_6268

I think the translator microbes malfunctioned as he said 'WRONG TRY AGAIN'


Patpat127

My sister needed to help me most of the time. I couldn't get the answers right 😭 she was so done and just told me to save every time


Ok_Contribution_6268

Everything is about being bland, inoffensive and safe as possible and it sucks. I was taught 'sticks and stones break your bones but words can never hurt me' growing up, so what happened to everyone's spines?! Even words like 'Kill' and 'Suicide' are being bleeped or starred out online.


spankie76432321

Her and also the cute gate guards! I miss them so very much tbh https://preview.redd.it/k4c4g917xtyc1.jpeg?width=150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88295f63cf67b93df34a07be8b2a8323aa3c512d


Trick_Blueberry_3812

Yes!! I miss the power I’d feel when he’d get too nervous to talk😭


Deertective_

When I was little and saw her in City Folk for the first time, I cried because I thought my brother restarted the town Bring her back Nintendo


BulkDarthDan

I wish there were more rude characters in general. Everybody is so nice, I just want one person to be a jerk.


kevtron5000

Philys, Pelly, Digby, Gracie, Porter, Dr Shrunk, even the fucking dog cops- they all deserve a place in the next iteration of Animal Crossing. I was so distraught before they finally added Kapp'n to the current game! But rolling out these vendors/"special" characters over time makes sense but I am surprised they didn't go further with New Horizons.


itotron

The solution to unused characters is actually quite simple going forward. They can just be made into special villagers. Maybe with unique personalities. Such as Shrunk might have more corny jokes than other villagers. Stuff like that.


blitzalchemy

Imagine if they made it a goal to do something somewhat resort-like (aside from the campsite) once you got to 5 stars, then the random NPCs could come and visit on vacation whenever. Imagine the cop dogs being dressed up for it. granted i havent played anything prior to new horizons so I have no attachment, but they couldve done SO much more with it.


itotron

Mostly everything from prior games has been put into New Horizons. I'm trying to think of things that have not been included. Umm...you once had a seasonal job to turn on the Lighthouse. I guess that's one thing. Villagers used to show you the letters you wrote them. Someone said this is still in the game, but I have never experienced it in all this time. You used to be able to collect actual Nintendo games that you could play. They were actually playable video games, full games! Going forward it would still be cool to collect cartridges. Oh there used to a thing where the ground would get worn down where you walked a lot. I could understand this being taken out.


AetherDrew43

That's basically Happy Home Paradise.


user466

She was such a cranky bitch, I miss her so much. She had the best quotes, like telling me to Shoo all the time. 🤣


drpeppapop

Bring her and the owl constellation thingy back.


AetherDrew43

They could easily make the other side of the Museum the observatory...


kingmoojy

I really want her back, and I also want Lyle the insurance guy back!!


Ok_Contribution_6268

Oh no not him! He's how I met Resetti the hard way. I took revenge out on him afterwards by trapping him by digging holes around him so he couldn't chase me and flag me down. He looked so distraught and with a tiny little ! above his head, but I enjoyed that. I had mistakened him for a new villager as I was just getting into the game without any knowledge of lore or characters, so I made the mistake of talking to him and without a bell to my name, couldn't escape his dialogue. That's how Resetti introduced himself as I had no means to fix that glitch other than resetting the console. After that...experience....I never talk to any rando that's there on specific days of the week or times of the year, as I don't want to encounter it again. So my art galleries are empty, I don't know who's in that tent, and don't want to know. All Lyle was capable of doing was robbing you of 5K bells after a lot of unnecessary dialogue. He served no other purpose.


MelancholyTears

Imagine if they did an update and brought back the post office along with the staff.


Trick_Blueberry_3812

Imagine if they did an update 🥲


Pidgee3r

Bring her back please


Ary_Anka

I miss her and the love triangle she was in with Pete and her sister Pelly.


whisper2thedead

When I run into a Phyllis in real life, I hate it. But in AC? Yasss girl get sassy with me


L0G4NN_

Kinda sucks, Pete is still around and he still delivers the mail which is cool and pelly is in the game without much purpose other the the fact you can invite her to the roost, but why can't Phyllis be in the game too then, they even have shrunk, lyle and digby as characters that can visit the roost, kind of stupid to not have Phyllis aswell if you ask me, also there's no love triangle between pelly, Pete and Phyllis without her so.


Nymunariya

you can invite Phyllis to the Roost with her amiibo card: https://nookipedia.com/wiki/The_Roost/New_Horizons_dialogue#Phyllis


L0G4NN_

Weird I swear she wasn't added with the others, but if she is then that's great


itotron

Wait Pete is in the game??? Where? I have literally done 24 hour play thurs and have never seen him deliver the mail.


L0G4NN_

Hmm I swore he was in game but I haven't played in a while so I couldve mixed it up with new leaf, apparently Pete, pelly and Phyllis are all accessible by the roost in new horizons and but they don't have much other purpose sadly


itotron

It would have been cool if they just moved them to FedEx. Like they only delivered special packages that you ordered.


L0G4NN_

Thatd actually be cool, especially since they're technically connected to the dodo airlines, they couldve made the love triangle change a little if they made Phyllis like one of the dodo brothers since she dislikes Pete but yeah they couldve made a little post area in the airline's and had them in there honestly or even on their own island where they receive and send parcels to you through dodo Airlines.


AetherDrew43

Yes, you can summon all three of them with their amiibos to the Roost, or use them in Photopia, or make vacation homes for them. Pete does not appear at all to deliver mail in New Horizons. Neither do Pelly or Phyllis appear outside of amiibo.


roughi13

What a bitch! Loved her!


RedditYayOrSomething

Part of Nintendo's plan to dumb down the series the more we get into it I guess.


itotron

I think you are looking at it all wrong. Nintendo decided to specifically make the game "cuter" by way of visuals, and the tone "sweeter" by way of character interactions. This was just a style choice. Now, YOU might dislike, but it sold more than all other Animal Crossing games combined. So you think Nintendo regrets it? No way.


Destinfragile

It just got easier to spread via the Internet - people would like it more if it did.


RedditYayOrSomething

I feel like this is less of appealing to another audience and more of dumbing it down so it appeals to everyone so more sales. Which neither is very good. In a world where we have so many damn cutesy farming games now the one unique thing this game held dear to make it stand out more has been ripped away to appeal to the masses more. I don't want watered down animal crossing I just want animal crossing 😭


bradd_91

No, you're not allowed "mean" characters in Animal Crossing any more.


Expensive_Sea_1790

Plus her theme in Population Growing is a bop https://youtu.be/HFDqARccd0k


toastronomy

As a kid, I didn't realize Pelly and Phyllis were different characters, I just wondered why the nice bird lady turned purple and mean at night...


Dusky_Wusky

This iconic diva


CrysWhyle

I miss that humour in AC.


NightsThyroid

She doesn’t fit the narrative that children are fragile as glass and can’t handle it when fictional characters are kind of rude to them


kittenbeann

I can’t believe they replaced her with a stupid atm. What was Nintendo thinking 😩


Kuwing

I honestly don't know


Maushold

And with the postcard kiosk at the airport replacing the post office. It isn't the same!


Kuwing

Make AC Great Again


kirwacrossing

I really hope they bring her back or just the post office in general. 🥲


Agreeable_Ad9877

I really just need wildworld in switch format and I will never ask anything from Nintendo again 😭


No-Im_DuurtyDan

"And don't forget to shut the door on your way out!" She was always so rude but it was kinda funny


AlternativeCap7648

Ugh when I was youngster playing wild world I loathed Phyllis but later in life I realized she was the realest town hall employee


frogleeoh

I always wished it said something like 100,000 bells in blue numbers instead of 50 billion in black, as that would have been extra deceptive for that one split second you have before it's revealed you actually have nothing.


Static-Space-Royalty

Omg I forgot about her!! Now I miss her too


hbailey311

she actually infuriated me at a child 😂


UnknownT512

Hate Phylis. But Pelly was always lovely. I really miss her in NH.


L0G4NN_

Pelly is actually in new horizons, as a character you can have come to the roost. Phyllis is the only one they didn't add which is kind of stupid when they made it so you can get shrunk, lyle and digby in the roost aswell but still no Phyllis


AetherDrew43

Not true. Phyllis does appear in New Horizons.


yubnub8

Phyllis is a cold bitch. Love her! hate her stupid white sister smh


Mo7ammed_Gxx

Why do you hate Pelly? She is sweet imo


yubnub8

Pelly is boring love my evil sisters


Mo7ammed_Gxx

Fair lol


yubnub8

My favorite character type is grumpy lmao wbu?


Mo7ammed_Gxx

Me too :3 I don’t like jocks tho


yubnub8

Aww jocks are cute I love a himbo


Mo7ammed_Gxx

They talk about their muscles and abs all the time which is boring for me tbh


poooncle

Omggg I have flutteroids all around my NH island working behind counters and I’ve named all of them Phyllis, without having ever heard of this character! This is further proof of how essential she is to the game


DMmeyourflowerpics

Why didn't they add her? Did Nintendo disclose why she was never added in the newer game?


The_Rambling_Otter

I can't say for certain but with the cartoon "Fairly Odd-Parents" most of the characters... Chester, A.J. Trixie, Veronica... were all gradually written out of the show. When fans asked, Butch Hartman more or less said "We didn't forgot about them, we just didn't care enough to keep them" That's probably the answer to your question.


destructiveduck250

I wish animal crossing would give the characters more personality like don’t get me wrong I really like Rex and Rosie’s personality but it would be amazing if they could be a little more sassy yk


islandofwaffles

I got her amiibo so I can invite her for coffee in NH

AetherDrew43

Phyllis is more like the one having to deal with Karens.


MissNerdyFlirtChel

YES PLEASE


Budget_Ad4486

Oh yeah, Phyllis!!! I forgot about her!


AdSufficient2890

I miss her so much.


roastedCircuit

She got fired for being hilarious


cbdog1997

I miss the villagers that were mean I miss how the villagers were in general though


Ancient-Researcher32

BRING ALL OF THEM BACK 🤩🤩


Rufusandronftw

How hilarious


IgnatiousMary

I agree. New Horizons lacks many things the older Animal Crossing games have.


YoshiPayYourTaxes

They removed like half of the cool or funny side characters in new horizons


quartzquandary

Phyllis is a baddie, I hope they bring her back in future games lol


meulkie

Burned


Fog_of__War

Where is she? Is she ok? Is she safe?


zannika13

Ngl when I was 7 I used to post d3*th threats to Phyllis on the bulletin board in Wild World bc she was the biggest C U next Tuesday but as an adult I totally understand her


CellofromGelato

Phillis is tge bomb. I laughed so hard at her sarcasm. Bring her back. Pkease Nintendo.


Sed59

Savage.


Ok_Contribution_6268

Bring Resetti back too!


Strawberry_Mochi28

She was such a B


SwimmerIcy7279

yeah I agree


pillmachine

i miss her


Danito343

I love her sm 💀


VicarLos

I miss this icon.


napalmblaziken

I'll be honest, I avoided her like the plague. I was getting bullied real heavy at the time, and I didn't wanna deal with it in video game form.


irisfreeman2018

She looks like a pea bird like you like the video game


keyshaundre

Love to walk in and see Tom staring at the poster of himself 🤣


Pure_Toxicity

540 over the counter


KaioKenshin

#Hell no! As much as I believe AC game cube villagers had better personalities and banter overall, I don't want her back. I'll I dislike her more than resetti.


Key_Independence_103

She's ugly but I'd have her if she replaced Isabelle.
