playing new horizons and listening to new leaf's hourly music makes me want to play new leaf as my second animal crossing game. though i wish i could have gotten my 3ds earlier so i could have played it earlier.

btw, i asked for a 3ds (with pokemon moon) for christmas 2016 but never got it. but then for christmas 2017 i asked for it again (but with pokemon ultra moon) and ended up getting it. and by surprise, i got ultra sun, too.

idk why i couldn't have gotten it for christmas 2016, though. i could have gotten to experience miiverse for myself and i wouldn't feel as guilty about not playing a bunch of games from about 2012 earlier.

but i think the reason why is because i got really into pokemon six months earlier, and i don't think anyone knew i actually wanted to play one of the games. or they didn't have enough money for one because they spent it on stuff like candy and other pokemon stuff.

i also heard stuff about animal crossing helping people with depression, and now i think that if i ended up playing new leaf instead of tomodachi life, it could have helped me with it a lot better.

(though tomodachi life still helped me with my depression. and yes, i was diagnosed with depression in 7th grade. i could tell you more, but i don't want this thread getting too long.)

anyway, i wasn't really expecting this to turn into venting about my 3ds experience and stuff. i kind of wanted to say something like "i kinda regret not playing new leaf earlier now that i've got some experience with new horizons."
