Cracking the Code: One Animal Crossing Fan's Genius Tip for Expanding Pocket Space in Style

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons community is once again uniting over a meme showcasing Tom Nook's humorous take on the ongoing issue of inadequate inventory space in players' pockets. Despite hopeful anticipation, players are still awaiting a solution as the game has not introduced any new features since its Animal Crossing 2.0 update in 2021.

Ever since the game's initial release in 2020, players have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with limited pocket inventory space. Initially, beginners are only granted access to 20 slots in their pockets. As they progress in the game, they can purchase Pocket Organization Guides from Tom Nook, the island's ambitious property owner, and eventually expand their inventory to a maximum of 40 slots. While this may appear sufficient, items accumulate quickly, leaving players frustrated and discontented.

In an effort to engage with the gaming community and catch the attention of Nintendo developers, Reddit user PixelatedEevees has turned to social media to highlight an issue through a meme. Fans argue that by purchasing the fashionable purses and bags offered by Kicks, the skunk salesman, they should be granted an additional 10 spaces in their pocket inventory. This extra space would enable players to easily transport a greater number of items to other islands and locations within the game.

Since the posting of this meme, numerous players have flooded the comment section to show their support for this idea. Many have used the post as a platform to discuss missed expansion opportunities in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, particularly the disappointment of realizing that the purse or bag they had obtained had no impact on the size of their inventory. Some individuals have shared their previous storage issues in older games and expressed their gratitude for now having access to a minimum of 40 slots.

Not everyone supported the idea of expanding pocket space. Some believe that 40 slots are sufficient for their gameplay needs. Another suggestion was to purchase a storage shed from the Nook Stop and carry it in the pocket inventory. This would allow players to quickly access their home storage by placing the shed in front of them. These players feel that carrying bags is unnecessary and adds extra weight. Additionally, not everyone enjoys using a purse.

Regardless of whether the developers of Animal Crossing: New Horizons will consider these ideas from fans, it's great to see the community coming together to discuss features of their favorite game on platforms like Reddit. Memes like this one have the ability to bring people together and provide amusement, time and time again.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on Nintendo Switch.
