Game Theory: Tom Nook is NOT a Crook! (Animal Crossing)

[@ixenvire]

My theory is that, Tom being a Tanuki, instead of a raccoon, might have thought about the dangers of the island and, being a tanuki himself, is simply using his supernatural abilities to keep the island completely safe. This is why, even if you fast-forward the clock 10,000 years in the future, everything is still completely fine regardless of what else might happen in the world,

It’s also worth considering that as a tanuki, all the furniture Tom Nook sells you in the entire series is nothing more than plain, ordinary leaves disguised to look like actual items. You all think you’re buying super expensive stuff, but it’s nothing more than yard trimmings with a little yokai magic mixed in. You can see the leaves when you pick up or place down a furniture item, it’s even his store logo!

[@TheSkyRender]

This exactly! Nothing in your Animal Crossing town is real. That includes the houses. In truth, you're wandering around a deserted island with nothing on it hallucinating buildings, townsfolk, and everything else. But hey, that's just a theory. A GAME Theory!

Someone else also said that he's magical and can protect the island from danger, and that if you go 1000 years into the future it's still fine in-game, but I didn't play the game so I'm not sure.

[@TheRealSkele]

But is the 5,6 million yen house cheap in Japan? That's the question a true theorist would ask. And you know what else a true theorist would ask? For a Rusty Lake episode.

[@erischaos]

Honestly, yeah, that is cheap. Japan is known for having "disposable homes," with the average home being demolished within 38 years of it being built, yet the price for housing is still fairly high. Doing a little research, beachfront property in a popular beach destination in Japan (Miyakojima) gives the average buying price of $2185/m2 for a house in its suburbs and $3062/m2 square for an apartment in the city center so given a 91 sqm house, it would cost $198,835 (approximately ¥19,883,500) for a house in the suburbs up to $278,642 (¥27,864,200) for an apartment in the city. I had also looked at the price for rental in the same city and averaging the cost per square meter the cost for renting a 91 sqm place for one year equates to roughly ¥1,173,900. Renting for 5 years will put you past the ¥5.6 million for an outright purchase.

Mat: Proves that Tom Nook is giving us an amazing deal Me: Omg finally they dont think hes a villian anymo- Mat: But maybe this is just part of a bigger scam

[@krsynx]

Nook can never win, can he.

[@New3DSLuigi364]

DANG IT MP; WHY MUST YOU KEEP FUELING THE BLATENT SLANDER AGAINST TOM NOOK?!!! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GIVE TOM NOOK THE APPRECIATION & RESPECT HE DESERVES; AND YOU KEEP FUELING HIS HATEDOM!!

[@serinathuller2943]

This exactly how I felt man Nook never catching a break I believe JWitzz did a video and went after the REDD instead.

[@Dipwad_Omega]

I've been periodically leaving comments asking Mat to find out the real-world value of Bells for around 6 years now...thank you for finally giving it the solution it needed

[@gorbgaming7366]

I love these theories, I also do love in depth lore series but the videos of some weird questions like just finding out the property value of animal crossing houses really does remind me of the classic game theory days

[@hattyquinn7814]

Dear Team of Game Theorists. Hey, I’ve recently been looking into what is the lore of Roblox Brookhaven, at first it seems pretty boring but I’ve been able to find lots of lore hidden side of it. I was hoping maybe you could be able to take a look at it?? If not I have a question for you…. are you going to be finishing the Dokidoki literature club lore or have they not bought anything out? Anyways, that’s all I have to say!! Keep working hard, you’re all doing great!!!! ❤

[@abertun6405]

4:04 bruh you saying the door's too big while there are elephants, rhinos and hippoes just roaming around

[@imaginationave3687]

It is Animal Crossing

[@Justastupidsomeone]

Episode idea: could you do a Star Stable theory? It might seem a bit slow, and not *that* lore based at first, but the more you get into the game, and the more theory videos you watch it makes it much more interesting. I mean questionable powers, tragic backstorys, kidnappings, poisonous dimensions, dead flying horses, traitors, a few on screen deaths, witches, giant evil octopi, its perfect! 🐴⭐

[@StaceyLuvsSnom]

The game just screams LORE!! As you gets deeper into the game

[@ApexZillaAnimates]

10:34 NAHHH ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK HOW MATPAT ROASTED BATMAN!?

[@yourcookiesaremine]

cmon matt , wheres the part 3? it’ll come one day and WE are waiting for it

[@piplup10203854]

11:55 Matpat doesn't know me anywhere near enough, I'd absolutely jump at that idea, could I make it work, probably not and would be a massive mistake but the idea of having a private island with no one around is pretty tempting 😬

[@maddoxmonteza]

13:53 the orphanage 3 towns over disagrees

[@lifeisdead7289]

MatPat, you have healped me through many dark times in my life, I cannot recommend you enough to all of my friends. Even if you are cringy once in a while, your video quality and quantity can not be matched.

Man I have watched so many of these that as soon as mat started singing Tom's praise I knew something was off lol

[@PCubiles]

4:23 It sounds like you're teaching some person you found on the internet about the way inches are measured in monitors

[@TheHouseOfTrickShots]

[@masontirant4996]

HE MADE A GRUBHUB REFERENCE!!! (11:08)

[@Dirnaldmabin354]

No he didn’t

[@func_e]

i love how mat manages to make _everything_ dark

[@Herucarne]

I laughed Matt shows Tom Nook donating money to Batman, while he talks about donating money to an orphanage. Just perfect!

[@hurriflame375]

Could you make a theory of the game Crawl by Powerhoof? It’s a game where 4 psychopathic explorers find themselves trapped in a dungeon. Those four kill each other in the beginning, but the 3 survivors become ghosts and can possess traps and monsters to attempt to kill the human and regain their humanity. It has very interesting randomized “lore quotes” at the beginning of every game. Example: there’s 4 humans all wielding a knife, they’re arranged in a diamond all staring at each other. The narrator says: “How did we end up here? So far from home in this morbid, terrible place…. These wretched companions were all to blame!” Then the fight to the death occurs.

13:34 matpat: “i guess we can always try to make it all up on the resale?” to quote hbomberguy’s climate change video, “who are you going to sell it to? aquaman???”

[@Kunoisgoodatfnfr]

Lol

[@craftmastr]

It goes to show how amazing our Dear Leader Tom Nook truly is

[@depenserpoureconomiser4243]

Our glorious leader

[@KaishaLouise]

Dear Leader? There is only one dear leader, and I don't see Jim Pickens here :')

[@Anonymous-ks1pn]

Tom Nook is infinetly better than Isabelle

[@craftmastr]

​@@KaishaLouisehave you seen Jim and Tom in the same room at once?

[@theactualalex]

3:40 in and I’m telling you, Tom Nook would wait literally an eternity for bells from you. Gotta tell ya, sounds like money is no object for this man.

[@Sadveiledbride_25]

You can run but you can't hide matpat part 3 better come out

[@skylarmeehan9276]

I love how matpat says Tom Nook isn't a crook and then proceeded to make the intro make him seem evil
