'''''Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp''''' is a spin-off of the ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' series, developed and published by [[Nintendo]] for iOS and Android devices. It was released worldwide on November 21, 2017 (Australia saw the game's release one month earlier).

 

* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: Unlike Digby, Redd debuted as part of a special furniture first before appearing as a garden event host. If the player has Redd's mask emporium placed on their campsite while his event is ongoing, he can still appear next to the emporium instead of near the garden entrance.

** With Brewster appearing as a garden event host for the first time long after his special furniture made its debut, it is safe to say that the same rule applies to all special NPCs that can appear as a garden event host.

* [[Double Unlock]]:

** A few furniture items require a basic form of another furniture to be crafted first before the former can be made. These are never shared by the same animal, so if the player has yet to unlock a particular animal, they will be stuck with uncraftable furniture until that animal is unlocked.

* [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]]: June 2019's aesthetic.

* [[Four-Leaf Clover]]: Spring events tend to go with the "shamrock" theme which features this in some way. In fact, March 2019's seasonal event is called Shamrock Shimmy, which involves collecting kaleidoclovers.

* [[Furry Confusion]]:

** The Purple Octopi from ''Splatoon 2'' can be caught in a crossover fishing tourney. Despite its origin, it behaves like normal fish, including being edible (for Chip anyway). This in a game where the player can befriend Octavian, an octopus camper. The August 20, 2019 update introduced the regular octopus as one of the common fish, so expect characters like Octavian and Marina request one or even cook one.

** For some reason, version 2.5.0 made it possible for players to place more than 10 apples/pears of all things in one Market Box slot (up to 100). This would not seem troublesome except for the fact that players will not be able to see the excessive apples/pears, thus unable to buy them anyway. Thankfully, the seller can just return the excessive apples/pears back to the inventory anyway thanks to the same update's overhaul to the Market Box system. Update 2.5.2 also fixed this.

** One discovered from version 2.5.1's update news (which resolves it): Players somehow ended up unable to log in to their Nintendo Account from the Settings. Keep in mind that linking accounts are required to keep a backup cloud save.

* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Gotta complete the catalog!

* [[Guide Dang It]]:

** The Google collaboration items (Android-only) have the red-and-yellow variety exclusive to the iOS version. Like the above, both varieties have no Catalog entries.

** Starting with the introduction of Isabelle's Cafe Cookie, some fortune cookie sets are just outright reskins/recolors of existing sets.

* [[Play Every Day]]: Daily Goals show up every day and players can claim daily rewards by logging in into the game every new day.

** Starting with the introduction of Sanrio Characters Goals, this has become a Goal objective. Some require simply booting the game every new day, but some require logging into the game every day in a row.

** Gulliver's Ship in general. Pre-2.6.0, a player will have to lose 10 furniture and/or clothing items just for an attempt to get a new animal friend. But even then, despite using the best items, all the player gets is usually snacks due to RNG. Also, animals that are not O'Hare, Rowan, and Plucky are locked behind maps, necessitating essence drain (or Leaf Tickets for your [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]] goodness). While this should sound fine as a prize, animal friends have been free since the game's very beginning. Meanwhile, post-2.6.0, instead of furniture/clothing, a player has to lose far more Bells in addition to sparkle stones (only applicable to golden packages starting from November 21, 2019, which fixed various issues), essences, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|wood]] (and possibly HH materials if they dare to use golden packages) because the islands containing animal maps only accept cargo (export-only items that can only be obtained by crafting). Even then, similar to the ship's first iteration, all that effort ends up wasted on treats and Bells. It is even worse since the "X and Pals" islands have a much larger prize pool, so the likeliness of a player running out of resources is much higher (unless the player uses Leaf Tickets to claim multiple rewards per trip, but even then the wanted map may not be included because of this fact).

*** For more post-2.6.0 woes, look no further than special islands that require exceptionally high cargo points but only accept golden packages and the "Golden" series furniture. Both cost a lot of resources and Bells just to craft... all just for Bells lower than the cost needed, Leaf Ticket ''maps'', and golden HH vouchers (which the player will most likely never use if they do not play a lot of Happy Homeroom). With the November 21, 2019 fix, this has been toned down as players can simply export any item like in the older Gulliver's Ship and the export point requirements have been lowered.

* [[The Quincy Punk]]: Rock-Star Collection's aesthetic. It has the stereotypical clothing/accessory items related to this, from the mohawk hairstyle to biker jackets.

* [[Random Drop]]: Basically, the entire rewards system (except for ones tied to certain milestones or events) is this.

* [[Save Game Limits]]: One per player. Also per install, unless the player links the save with a MyNintendo account. Also, the player cannot play the game with same profile on another device of the same platform (iOS/Android crossplay is fine and still keeps the same progress except for purchased Leaf Tickets) unless the player uninstalled the game in the older device or used MyNintendo's cloud saving feature.

* [[Save Scumming]]: Believe it or not, there is, but only concerning catching bug/fish after a save. To put it simply, if the player fails to catch a bug/fish (rare creatures from the gardening events do not count), as long as the next auto-save is not triggered, the player can close and reopen the game to have another try.

* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: Animals that sit on the wicked throne furniture invoke this.

* [[Socialization Bonus]]: Having friends in a player's list allows them to request Shovelstrike Quarry help without Leaf Tickets (though this can only be done once per day). Another benefit is that the player can view a friend's Market Box at any time without having to wait for them to appear in a random recreation area. With the introduction of player-exclusive local produce in version 2.1.0, this becomes a necessity for collecting all fruits.

* [[Steampunk]]: September 2019's aesthetic. From the clothing side, there is the aptly-named Steampunk Collection.

* [[Technology Marches On]]: Like in ''New Leaf'', this is invoked with the historical theme, specifically on items that were relevant at the time of the previous ''Animal Crossing'' games' release. TV with VCR, anyone?

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]:

** After long-time frustrations regarding [[Luck-Based Mission|fortune cookie problems]], it appears that Nintendo tries to alleviate it a bit by making certain event fortune cookies free rewards in certain events, starting from the Summertime Bug Catching event.
