For that matter, why is it always <em>Bob<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Bob is the first regular villager card in the amiibo series, and he&#8217;s <em>also<\/em> got a January 1st birthday. This isn&#8217;t coincidence \u2014 Bob (or Nikoban, as he&#8217;s known in Japan) was actually the first villager created for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gamecube\/animal_crossing\">Animal Crossing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/news\/202009\/04205284.html\">as confirmed in this Famitsu interview<\/a>. Since he&#8217;s number one (or zero, because computer programming always starts at zero) of many, it&#8217;s likely that the game defaults to him when something goes wrong \u2014 which it obviously has here.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"I'm!!\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b4378f2f8dce4\/im.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMjM5Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"239\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b4378f2f8dce4\/im.445x.jpg\" alt=\"I'm!!\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"I'm!!\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fc30b82395c1b\/im.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMjUwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fc30b82395c1b\/im.445x.jpg\" alt=\"I'm!!\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\">I&#8217;m!! \u2014 <em class=\"credit\">Images: <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AnimalCrossing\/comments\/xs01ys\/i_was_inviting_raymond_and_got_this_naked_bob\/\">u\/chanandler-kun<\/a>, <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AnimalCrossing\/comments\/h7lzz3\/i_scanned_cocos_amiibo_into_my_game_and_i_was\/\">u\/thisaccountisironic<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>Interestingly, Bob doesn&#8217;t actually say his name when he appears, nakedly, instead saying something like &#8220;Hi!

But let&#8217;s say that an amiibo card provides the game with a string of numbers \u2014 one number says which character it is, what they&#8217;re wearing, what their name is, and so on. If there&#8217;s a glitch that gives the number as &#8220;000000&#8221;, then the game finds what is matched to &#8220;0&#8221; for each case \u2014 which would be Bob&#8217;s model, no name, and no clothes.<\/p>\n<p>Well, either that, or Bob&#8217;s going through a midlife crisis.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have <strong>you<\/strong> seen Naked Bob in your game?
