'''''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).
 
Line 130:
* [[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.
* [[ThemeDiegetic TuneTheme Cameo]]: This game's title tune can be heard in a few situations.
** As this game lacks the equivalent to the "town tune", animals can be heard humming/whistling the game's theme instead.
** The first anniversary music box plays its own rendition of the title screen music.
* [[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.
Line 157 ⟶ 160:
* [[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.
* [[Freemium]]: Starting from November 21, 2019, a paid membership service called Pocket Camp Club becomes available. It features two plans:
** One allows the player to appoint one animal as a camp caretaker to help deal with requests and events.
** The other allows the player to receive five free fortune cookies per month and store furniture and clothing items in the warehouse.
* [[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.
Line 231 ⟶ 237:
** 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.
** For fish examples, Fishing Tourney #4 features a different variety<ref>Achilles surgeonfish, spotted knifejaw, black clown fish.</ref> of Fishing Tourney #1's fish<ref>Surgeonfish, barred knifejaw, clown fish.</ref>, making them appear to be like this. Meanwhile, Fishing Tourney #8 features [[Gold Makes Everything Shiny|gold]] recolors of some of the Saltwater Shores' fish, while the mini-event GoldGolden Bug Catching Goals feature gold recolors of the horned dynastid, emperor butterfly, and horned hercules. Fishing Tourney: Dance features the black versions of clown fish and horsehair crabs, while Fishing Tourney: Blue Jazz has whiteplatinum recolors of the Lost Lure Creek's pale chub, black bass, catfish, and gar.
* [[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.
Line 256 ⟶ 262:
* [[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.
* [[:Category:Shout-Out|Shout-Out]]:
** One of the gardening events is Zipper's [[Alice in Wonderland|Wonderland]] Event.
** The Nintendo Switch and the game-exhibit monitor furniture can depict either Filbert wielding a shovel on a mountainous region (''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild''), Lloid with an outstretched spring arm (''ARMS''), Isabelle as Mario throwing Cappy (''Super Mario Odyssey''), or Rosie equipped with a Splattershot (''Splatoon 2'').
** One of the rare furniture items obtainable from Tommy's fortune cookie is the [[Mario Kart|Isabelle Scooter]].
** Android users can get a rainbow pinwheel from a Flower Festival event. Its appearance invokes the Google Photos app icon.
*** Not to mention, the two rainbow items (pinwheel and bike) are based on [https://i.redd.it/mc99300xrpi11.jpg the real thing].
** Bunnie's fortune cookie items are themed after the tale of the ''[[Little Red Riding Hood]]''.
** Among the premium items offerred during the sixth Gyroidite Scavenger Hunt (which is the [[Holiday Mode]] version in December) include the reindeer hat and the red nose, allowing the player to dress up as [[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]].
** A more subtle one is from Apple's Glazier Cookie, which considering her name and some of the items (stained-glass apple lamp, stained-glass bed, stained-glass mirror), is a [[Shout-Out]] to the ''[[Snow White (fairy tale)|Snow White]]'' fairy tale.
** The event-only Mario wallpaper costs 1,985 Bells to craft, 1985 being the year the first ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' game was first released.
** Skye's Lavish Ball Cookie is themed after the ''[[Cinderella]]'' tale.
* [[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.
Line 278 ⟶ 273:
* [[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?
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: This game's title tune can be heard in a few situations.
** As this game lacks the equivalent to the "town tune", animals can be heard humming/whistling the game's theme instead.
** The first anniversary music box plays its own rendition of the title screen music.
* [[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.
