Tom Nook donating 90% of his earned bells to an orphanage is most likely because Timmy and Tommy were orphans before Nook himself brought them in.
-
Something else to note. He's not just selling houses, he builds them for you. He's taking a complete loss on labor in the earlier games (newest one you do some building too of course)
-
Matpat learning that bells are equivalent to the Japanese yen is strangely amusing to me.
-
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!
-
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,
-
Of course he's not a villain, he gives you a house and tells you "eh, just pay me back when you feel like it, I'll even upgrade it"
-
I like to imagine he's only doing this for the orphanage. He's willing to become a crook if that's what it takes to help them
-
We've had a lot of lore videos lately, so it's nice to have an old school number-crunching theory again, great job!
-
This is quite the twist for the FNAF timeline, I've always suspected that Tom Nook was William Afton all along but never got around to put the pieces together so I went back to count animatronic toes like a fool, great job solving the deepest lore MatPat!
-
Thanks for the lil' shout-out! Made me smile! :)
-
Bro puts more though into his video game theories than most governments put into working together and fixing societal issues. 💀👍
-
The part where it says Tom nook's donating to orphanage, and then the visual just shows Tom nook giving batman bells is so funny 😂😂
-
“Maybe this is a lesson to stop overthinking things” Says Matpat analyzing the exchange rate of a bell.
-
I really wished you dived into Nook's backstory you get in Wild World after building a relationship with the Able Sisters. Particularly with Sable who’s sowing in the back. She and Nook are actually childhood friends and revealed that he was once conned when he moved to a big city to chase his dream.
-
Okay... now I want MatPat to do a definitive calculation of currency in D&D for at least 5e. I know it's not a video game, but it's still a game.
-
The bells = Yan theory makes sense when you ponder it. Animal Crossing was made in Japan, so it kind of seems fitting.
-
I got on board the Animal Crossing train waaaaayyyy late and had always heard the tales of what a crook Tom was. I was surprised then when I actually started playing and found him not to be terrible at all and imo very fair with his upgrades and offers. Kept waiting for him to turn into an evil overlord, but has yet to happen.
-
I think nook has a big heart and cares a lot for the players and villagers especially Timmy and Tommy. He just loves money a little to much 😂
-
Hope everything's okay with Team Theorists. Because it's odd for you guys to miss posting a video on Saturday.

This is strikingly similar to the way we bought our first house... super cheap, nice yard, decent starter home... cut to nearly 3 years later and we are dealing with a basement full of water and 2 windows and a garage door having been shot... I don't blame our realtor, and I am thankful we have a home, but I cannot WAIT to move eventually...
