Can I catch every Fish in Alphabetical Order or RESET if I mess up?

To test my skills at catching fish in Animal Crossing, I came up with a challenge to catch every fish in alphabetical order. If I catch ANY other fish than the one I'm going for, I must reset and try again. Time starts when I press start to make a new character and ends when I obtain the Golden Rod. Will I be able to pull this off, or will it drive me insane? Watch to find out!
If you're looking for the encyclopedia order challenge, I decided not to upload it LOL
Fish can sometimes be distinguished from one another before they're caught based on their shadow size and behavior. Any fish that isn't the shadow size you're looking for for can be scared away. As for behavior, all fish have preset AI that determines how far away they'll go for the bait, the angle they'll go for the bait, and the duration which they'll bite the bait. With enough skill and practice, you can distinguish between some fish of the same shadow size using their behavior. Furthermore, certain times of the year and day can be selected to increase the odds of specific fish spawning in addition to preventing other fish with the same shadow size and behavior from spawning.
Even with all that knowledge though, many fish still share the same shadow size, behavior, and time of year and day they'll spawn, meaning no matter what you do, it's still up to RNG whether you'll catch the fish you want or not.

I interpreted the title as like you'd restart the entire challenge if you got the wrong fish and I'm glad that was wrong because that sounds like an impossible nightmare challenge LMAO.

[@coreydopson2030]

I thought the exact same thing amd came to say this after the red snapper. The entire time my anxiety was through the roof he'd get to zebraturkeyfish and failthen start entirely over

[@HEALORDER]

it’s so refreshing seeing the villagers be so mean for no reason, i missed it

[@xgum]

i didnt know there was a definitive shadow profile for EVERY fish, and that they could be differentiated on sight, until your streams. impressed with the dedication

[@BrianMp16]

Well there's only 6 different shadow sizes (7 including the whale) so to differentiate between some fish, you also need to test their behavior (a.k.a. AI) before you catch them. Even then some fish share the same shadow size, behavior, and time of year and day spawn times, so with those fish it's still up to RNG to catch the one you're going for.

Hey, I saw your content in your videos about being the first to 100% this game and getting the post model on record, and I gotta say I am very impressed like anyone else. I saw this video in my feed and watched out of curiosity, but when I started watching I instantly felt comfortable. Your attitude in these videos are very wholesome, you are very skilled and wise when it comes to this game, and I appreciate that you play the GCN game as it is my favorite Animal Crossing. Please continue making content like this as it is very fun to watch!

[@TheErwinK007Archive]

Insane man. Keep up the dedication! May Animal Crossing sparkle forever!

[@Scorbunnyear]

I love your videos. The first game is definitely my favorite in the series and I glad to see people playing it. Also, the audio cuts out for around 15 seconds at 2:11:18 and a few more times while you were trying to catch the rainbow trout?

[@annavaldezart]

You are genuinely a legend, These playthroughs are SO entertaining and I can't do my work without these anymore lmao!

[@HannahandCailinLoesch]

This is such a fun idea and I’m looking forward to my work day tomorrow to listen while I chug along😍 I absolutely love your challenge videos. I love the feeling that you’re just hanging out and playing animal crossing with your viewers!

[@Marchingvenusaur]

9:59 as a massive Nosegay fan since the gamecube days, this is a total win

[@sharkgirk6606]

This is so cool! I have thousands of hours in AC games across consoles but I’ve never finished a critterpedia

[@Mine-jt1rk]

Im excited to watch this one, it sounds wild!

[@ben_jamin4529]

I picked up playing AC for GC recently and was stunned over all the little quirks I never noticed as a kid. Like the luck feature, I got like 60k bells on a gold spot and was so confused!

[@grimagikoopa]

lmao the plushin the thumbnail is adorable

[@big_ev]

Another one from the GOAT

[@mO11O11O1mm]

Awwww man so sad you didn’t end up uploading the encyclopedia order one

[@SuntanAlbino]

This was such a cool challenge and definitely something that seems like fun to try. I have to ask though, why reset at all? Wouldn't it make more sense to just not do the split until you manage to catch the correct fish you need next? The resetting just seems like it adds tedium and nothing else lol

[@halfyou]

for the idea of a “pure” file/playthrough I guess. I honestly get it it just feels less legit if you catch a bunch of junk in between and its saved

[@BrianMp16]

Resetting adds consequence to catching the wrong fish. Without resetting, there isn't really a challenge since you could just freely catch fish until you catch the one you want. The idea for this challenge is to refine your skills at catching specific fish and having to deal with Mr. Resetti is enough incentive to care to try to catch the correct fish.

[@themr64]

this seems like a challenge that Dagnel needs to do in New Horizons haha.

[@plantyyy]

why do you want him to suffer

[@jasper7439]

That wouldn't really work as well though since NH autosaves

[@shleem9620]

love your vids man. Animal crossing and pokemon are my favorite titles of all time. They both offer such great options for play throughs, ranging from extremely casual to shiny nuzlockes and stuff like this. Keep it up man. BTW I think new leaf is the best animal crossing ever and second is wild world, Black is my favorite pokemon ever but shining Pearl or omega ruby is second

10:56 i'm having the same problem with my cats, im quite literally pulling little pieces of fur out of my NOSE 🥲
