Talk:Redd

From Nookipedia, the Animal Crossing wiki

Species[edit]

The article describes him as being a kitsune in Japan, and a fox elsewhere. That's pretty stupid. It would be like saying Rover is un chat in France, but he's a cat elsewhere.

My point is, a kitsune IS a fox. There's no other way to say fox! Tanuki is different, because the actual SPECIES is different (raccoon dog vs. raccoon).

Anyone object to changing it?-Vulpes 21:36, 4 December 2010 (EST)

It does seem kind of ridiculous. :P --Jake 21:37, 4 December 2010 (EST)
Actually, Kitsune is different than a fox. At least, I think so... TO WIKIPEDIA!!! Super (duh...)AlpacaDoggie Mask.gif 21:38, 4 December 2010 (EST)
The word "kitsune" is the word for fox. There is also a mythological aspect to kitsune, but that doesn't make it a different species.-Vulpes 21:40, 4 December 2010 (EST)
Well, he is a kitsune, it says so in-game I believe. Let's go with that. Super (duh...)AlpacaDoggie Mask.gif 21:42, 4 December 2010 (EST)

The game calls him a fox, I believe. Which is what he is.-Vulpes 21:43, 4 December 2010 (EST)

So, is fox the exact same word for kitsune? So, if I went to Google Translate, I would get kitsune if I put in fox? Super (duh...)AlpacaDoggie Mask.gif 21:50, 4 December 2010 (EST)
If you put it in in kanji, yes.-Vulpes 21:53, 4 December 2010 (EST)

It's also worth noting that if you take the first three characters of Redd's Japanese name, Tsunekichi, and add the last character to the front you get Kitsune. Doing something like that certainly fits with his deceitful personality. -Coatlmon 2:20 March 4, 2016 (EDT)

Appearance in NH[edit]

According to a datamine, you need at least 60 items donated to the museum for Redd to appear. I feel like this needs noting somewhere. AgentParadox (talk) 20:31, May 1, 2020 (EDT)

NH section outdated?[edit]

During Jolly Redd's first appearance, although the Treasure Trawler is docked at the player's small northern beach, it is closed; instead, he'll be wandering around the player's island. When talked to, he will introduce himself and will give the player a painting, first attempting to charge 498,000 Bells for it before cutting it down to just 1% of its original price. This first painting is always genuine, and when it is shown to Blathers, he will accept the donation and be able to expand the museum to include an art exhibit, which will cause the museum to be closed for construction the following day.

I just started playing the game a few days ago, and this isn't how it went at all. After Tom Nook announced his presence, I just saw Redd wandering around near the plaza, and then after talking to him he said we were already like family, and then disappeared to his boat on the northern beach. I didn't get quoted half a million bells for a painting, and i didn't buy a painting from him there either. i had to head up to his boat to buy one (which, they were all genuine. not sure if that always happens the first time or if i was just lucky). Now I'm just waiting on the painting to arrive in the mail tomorrow, to go donate to blathers. The Museum also already has the art wing, instead of needing built. This was changed in the 2.0 update, which the Museum article has already updated

I'm assuming this just changed in an update at some point, but if someone else could double check this for me that would be appreciated
