Talk:Group stretching

Split Morning aerobics (AC) and group stretching (NH)?
While morning aerobics is an event that has a defined timeline, group stretching could be considered as an activity that the player can interact with. Or would the two be considered too similar to not warrant separate articles? User talk:Decomposer 10:09, November 7, 2021 (EST)


 * I agree that group stretching is not an event, because as you say, events operate on a player-independent timeline, and their date or time of occurrence cannot be influenced. I think it's similar to Kapp'n's boat appearing in when you plug in a GBA, allowing you to ride on it to the island. It's an activity or gameplay feature the player initiates. I would actually categorize it as a type of cutscene, of which there are a few other examples: game load screens (Isabelle's announcements, or the 'dark room' in PG), traveling on any form of transportation (train, bus, taxi, plane), Dr. Shrunk performances, project celebrations, and K.K. slider performances/credit roll. In some cases these "cutscenes" are interactive, while others more or less just play out. Because group stretching is not an official event, I think that it could get its own page, if it's notable enough to warrant one. Otherwise I think it could just remain here, since it's so similar to the event in previous games, and is obviously meant to be its successor.

 * The word "cutscene" to describe those is kinda fitting, and perhaps eventually all these cutscenes could be placed in some separate page someday. Since you mentioned that it's "so similar", yeah, it could stay in this page. This reminds me of NH info about Hinamatsuri, as a "seasonal event" in Nook Shopping, being embedded in the page about that event in the previous games.

 * Yeah, it's basically an interactive cutscene when you think about it. It's a tricky one, I agree the event in the original game is more notable since it's actually an event unlike the incarnation in New Horizons. But if we split the article, we end up with two very similar articles. What if we were to rename it back to Morning Aerobics, but still keep a section for New Horizons? I think we have a few other event articles like this, where events in one game were effectively downgraded in later ones (can't remember which ones off the top of my head). --Shark HHD Icon.png Dorsal Axe  (talk) 08:18, November 9, 2021 (EST)
 * I think both incarnations should stay on this page, and it should keep its current name. The intro already notes how it's an event in PG but a regular activity in NH. What we could do is remove the event infobox altogether to get rid of any confusion. It wouldn't really be removing any info anyway, since it would all be covered in the prose. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 11:41, November 9, 2021 (EST)
 * I AlexBot's suggestion.  Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 11:45, November 9, 2021 (EST)


 * - It makes sense to remove the infobox if the page name is to retain the new NH name. My only concern is that in the future we may want to turn the infobox into a Cargo store for events, and then we'd have to re-implement it. I suppose we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
