Emotions



Emotions are used by both players and villagers in and, but only villagers in the earlier games.

Villagers' Emotions
Aside from expressing emotions when in conversation, villagers may also show an emotion when walking about town.
 * If a dark cloud with a purple swirl appears above a neighbor's head, then that means they're sad.
 * But if you enter a villagers house and they're displaying this emotion right off the bat, it means they're sick.
 * When an ! is above a villager's head then that means they're surprised or want to talk to you.
 * When their head is red and when you get close to them you hear a 'pow' 'pow' 'pow' and white stuff comes out of their head, they're angry.
 * When musical notes are around the villager, that means the villager is happy. (Glee.)
 * Villagers may also clap when a Player catches a fish or insect if near them, or sometimes when fireworks go off in City Folk.

Conversations with CPU villagers and players sometime cause a villager's emotion to change from normal to happy, sad, or angry. You can't start a conversation with villagers when they are angry or sad - they will tell you they don't feel like talking.

In City Folk, Dr. Shrunk is found in the city's theater, where you can learn emotions for 800 bells. He is sometimes replaced by Frillard, who teaches emotions unknown to Dr. Shrunk.
