Animal Crossing Problem...

[~Water Lucario~]

While visiting another town, my power went off and when I turned on the game again I had lost my 80,000 and all my items I was holding. My character also had two black circles for eyes and another black circle for a mouth like this:
0 0
O

When I turned the game off and on again, my character went back to normal but all my stuff I was holding was still gone.

You're talking about the first AC, right? That happens if the power goes off. You get the Gyroid face and lose all your items. This is a very old glitch, and nothing to worry about. Unless you were holding a throne or something.

That happened to me when I had all my gold items with me. I used an Action Replay to get them back.

That happened to me too, I went to sell Turnips in my other town, got on the train and realised I'd actually forgot my turnips, so to avoid losing 2 villagers I hit the off button. At the time I had Cocoa the rabbit who I absolutely hated because it looked so freaky, so imagine my shock and horror when I rebooted and my face looked like that, and to top it all off my favourite animal left me right then too.

Don't reset while out of town. It's so uncool :<
