Animal Crossing Fan Reveals What a Pokemon Crossover Could Look Like

An Animal Crossing fan reveals what a potential Pokemon crossover could look like with a setting akin to Wild World featuring some Pokemon.

Reddit user GoldenGoddess_333 recently shared two images highlighting their dog compared to a custom Animal Crossing Amiibo card made by their partner that is meant to resemble the canine. The dog known as Lady Wiggles is represented by a new type of dog Villager not seen in the game. Unlike the existing Animal Crossing: New Horizons dogs, Lady Wiggles has ears that half flop towards the characters' eyes, which are multicolored like the cat Villager Raymond. Lady Wiggles has a snout that protrudes more than other dog Villagers, and it includes freckles like the ones above Bea's nose. Similar to other characters, Lady Wiggles has a big smile on her Amiibo card which may hint at a peppy personality. The real-life photo of Lady Wiggles showcases the accurate attention to detail regarding her fur and eye color and the position of her ears.

How Was This Amiibo Card Made?

According to the Reddit user, the design of this Amiibo card was created in Photoshop, and it includes the background details like the dice number and a hand for Amiibo Festival's Rock, Paper, Scissors. An existing pattern is used for Lady Wiggles' clothes, which may have been easier to use for the Amiibo card than a custom Animal Crossing: New Horizons design. The brief description on the card says play ball, which suggests that Lady Wiggles is a fan of playing catch. The 2.14 number in the top right of the card may be Lady Wiggles' birthday, or more likely, it reflects Valentine's Day which was on February 14 this year. The Amiibo card was given to GoldenGoddess_333 by their partner on Valentine's Day and the bottom of the card includes a heartfelt message to the dog parent.

Though gamers have discovered ways to replicate Animal Crossing Amiibo cards to bring specific Villagers to their islands, only one Lady Wiggles card exists. While this Animal Crossing fan has an Amiibo card of their dog, they won't be able to invite the adorable Villager to their island. Because Nintendo would need to program the new Villager into the game to have it visit them, this card is mostly sentimental.
