TheAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscommunity is once again bonding over a meme featuring Tom Nook, who is seen taking a popular stance on the lack of proper inventory space in players' pockets. Unfortunately, prayers for a solution have yet to be answered as the game has not introduced new content since theAnimal Crossing2.0 updatefirst dropped in 2021.
Players have had their gripes about limited pocket inventory space since the game’s initial release in 2020. At the start of the game, beginners have access to only 20 slots in their pockets. As they naturally progress through the game, they can purchasePocket Organization Guidesfrom Tom Nook, the island’s avaricious real estate owner, and eventually earn a maximum of 40 slots. This may seem like a lot of space to some, but the inventory fills up quickly and players are fed up.

In attempts to connect with the gaming community and garner the attention of the Nintendo developers, Reddit user PixelatedEevees has taken to social media to draw attention to the issue with a meme. Fans have argued that shouldering the fashionable purses and bags offered by Kicks, the skunk salesperson, should allow at least 10 more spaces in pocket inventory. With this extra space, players could seamlessly transport an increased number of items to other islands and locations in the game.
Since this meme has been posted, several players have flooded the comment section to express their support for this idea. Most used the post to discuss several missed opportunities forexpansion inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons,but more specifically the disappointing realization that the purse or bag they saved up for had no effect on the size of their inventory. Some people were sharing memories of storage problems in older games and expressing gratitude for having access to at least 40 slots now.
Surprisingly, not everyone was in favor of a pocket space expansion. Some think that 40 slots are plenty for their gameplay needs. Others offered the idea that purchasing astorage shed from the Nook Stopand holding it in the pocket inventory essentially solves this problem. This way, players can place the shed down in front of them and grab something from their home storage in a matter of seconds. Essentially, having to wear bags is just extra weight to these opinionated players. Besides, not everyone enjoys wearing a purse.
Regardless of whetherAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsdevelopers will take fans up on any of their ideas, it’s good to see the community bonding and discussing features of their favorite game on sites like Reddit. As always, well-crafted memes such as this one have the power to unite people and bring smiles to their faces, time and time again.
