What is it with Nintendo and difficult tasks? I expect I'll have to get to nearly a billion Bells in every AC game that will ever be. I only have like 380 of the 386 Pokémon (the ones left are from stupid promotional thingies that I miss out on). I can't pass F-Zero GX Story Mode 7 (but maybe just 'cause I suck at racing).
Sure, it's a good feeling when you finally accomplish something difficult, but things like a billion Bells in AC is so tedious and time-consuming it's almost not fun.
And yet, I keep going. >_< *sigh*

That is a TON of bells, does that all fit in the bank? If it does now you can try littering the entire town with money bags. :P Though that'd be kinda ugly

Seriously, congrats. I don't have the attention span to do that. I need to feed my Nintendog.

I wonder how I'm going to get that amount now, short of getting a cheat device (which I don't want to).

No, I didn't get an Action Replay or whatever for the DS.
Yes, it's a similar workaround, and yes, it still took a very long time.
Is it cheating if it still requires several days of effort?

QuoteI don't know--is it still stealing if it takes you several days/months/years to "earn" the pay out?

It involved me travelling to a hacked town that had bags of 99000 Bells each just strewn about everywhere. Each trip I was able to carry 26 bags (or 2574000 Bells, which was pretty close to the amount I had actually earned before I started all this). It still involved nearly 400 trips back and forth...back and forth...back and forth...MY EYES...
Now, I could've grabbed the town hall model from the hacked town. Nope, I wanted to get my own by saving 999999999 Bells in the bank myself. Which I did. Now if someone actually made that much via more proper channels, that would be impressive.
But seriously, who can play AC 24/7? Even if they did it'd be unlikely that they could have a billion Bells by now.

Yeah, it definitely is, even if it still took you awhile to do it.

Who's more insane - Nintendo, for including such a crazy goal (it's required for the town hall model) that it takes even cheaters forever to get, or me, for actually doing it?
