Hey, I was checking this game out and seeing what I could potentially run because Nintendogs + Cats is one of my favourite games on 3DS and I wondered if there was maybe a Discord server available for this or Nintendogs for the DS or maybe I could create one? Another question I had is, when does timing start and stop and could this be shown in the game rules? It would save a lot of questions for runners and would not force them to look at one of the runs, just a quality of life thing tbch. Also, is Emulator allowed? I have the game on 3DS but I was just wondering if it was.

Hello friend! Glad to see you are interested in running the game! :-)

1. There’s no discord server. We could always create one at some point to think about strategies :) As for the DS one, this is out of my personal reach, so I can’t answer for that
2. Timing starts when the Nintendogs + Cats logo fades out when you start the game at the kennel. Timind ends when the screen fades out of the white loading screen when you get home from the lure competition. If you’re unsure, you can always check the runs on the leaderboard :)
3. I’m not sure, its not included in the rules and I have no control over them as I’m just a runner, but I would say no to be 100% safe

Hope this helps!
