Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp (どうぶつの森 ポケットキャンプ, Dōbutsu no Mori: Poketo Kyanpu^?, Animal Forest: Pocket Camp) is a free-to-start mobile application based on the Animal Crossing series that was released on the Android and iOS mobile operating systems on October 25th in Australia and in other territories on November 22 (excluding Asia other than Japan), 2017. The app was originally a part of Nintendo's initiative to bring five mobile applications to market by March 2017 in cooperation with mobile developer DeNA, but faced a series of delays.

Announcement and delays

The game was announced on April 27^th, 2016 as part of Nintendo's earnings report for its full fiscal year ending March 31st, 2016. Originally set for release in fall of 2016 alongside the then-untitled Fire Emblem Heroes , the title has gone on to be delayed several times.

In order to give priority to its second mobile game, Super Mario Run, Nintendo announced in early September 2016 that Animal Crossing: Mobile would release sometime before March 2017, instead of during the fall 2016 time frame. The game was delayed a second time in late January 2017, the announcement coming as part of Nintendo's earning report for the third quarter of its 2017 fiscal year. This time the game was pushed to the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2018. However, in June 2017, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime confirmed that the game will launch before the end of 2017.

The game was described in Nintendo's 2017 earnings report for the full fiscal year as a "pure game application" that will "have more prominent game elements" than Miitomo, Nintendo's first smartphone application, which launched in March of 2016. The report also noted that the application would be designed to "be connected with the world of Animal Crossing for dedicated gaming systems", suggesting that the application will offer some sort of cross-title connectivity with existing or yet to be released Animal Crossing titles. When Nintendo's president Tatsumi Kimishima was asked why Animal Crossing was chosen as one of the the first two Nintendo properties to make its debut on mobile, he stated that each property targets a distinct segment of Nintendo's audience, noting that the Animal Crossing series "has been played by a wide range of consumers including children and women."

On October 24, 2017, a new Nintendo Direct ("Mobile" Direct) revealed the game's name, showed gameplay footage, and revealed many gameplay elements.

Gameplay

Pocket Camp revolves around staying at and customizing a campsite. Future updates will offer seasonal events as well as limited time furniture and outfits. Players are able to visit the campsites of other players by sharing Player IDs. Random player avatars will also visit campsites from time to time.

Character

Giovanni, Beppe, and Carlo, who are new to the series.

The player can create a personalized character that serves as the campsite manager. The character, like previous Animal Crossing games, can be a boy or a girl, and have various skin, hair, and eye colors.

Villagers

When the game was first made available, a total of forty villagers could camp at the player's campsite, the least amount of villagers in any game in the Animal Crossing series. However, more villagers have since been added through game updates. Many villagers who had appeared in every other game in the Animal Crossing series, such as Tangy, are absent. Additionally, whilst not villagers, K.K.,Tom Nook, Celeste and Brewster can camp at the player's campsite, and can be acquired by buying their signature piece of furniture via Leaf Tickets.
Since the 1.2.0 update, player can change a villager's outfit. This becomes available once the player has reached a certain level of friendship with a villager, which is always the level directly after a villager's required friendship level in order to be able to be invited to the player's campsite. For example, Tia requires friendship level 3 in order to be invited to the player's campsite, which means that the player can change her outfit starting at level 4.

Crafting

The player can craft furniture, decorative items, and clothing for the player's campsite, RV, and character out of resources such as paper and wood by speaking to Cyrus. Items such as fruit and bugs can be exchanged with villagers for crafting materials.

Leaf Tickets

Leaf Tickets are earned through regular gameplay or purchase through real-world currency. Tickets can be used for a variety of things in-games, including shortening crafting times and more easily acquiring materials.

Market Place

The Market Place is an in-game shopping area ran by Isabelle, Timmy and Tommy, the Able Sisters and Kicks. Furniture and clothing can be bought here, among other things.
