Pappy Van Poodle: The Forgotten Nintendo Character
There have been some pretty lovable dogs in the Nintendo universe, mostly from the social simulation series Animal Crossing. You had K.K. Slider, the free-spirited, music-loving Jack Russell Terrier with a worldly outlook and a heart of gold. You also had Isabelle, the bubbly, hardworking Shih Tzu with a kind and altruistic nature. Both of these dog characters undoubtedly deserve all the love and praise we’ve given them. But how could we possibly forget about Pappy Van Poodle?

Never heard of Pappy Van Poodle? What a tragedy. Well, unless you downloaded Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball on the Nintendo 3DS and played the game in a very specific way, you probably never would’ve come across Pappy Van Poodle. Throughout the Nintendo universe, there are plenty of hidden gems and Easter eggs to be found. However, most of these Easter eggs are well documented throughout Nintendo internet forums and fan pages. Pappy Van Poodle, on the other hand, seemed to be completely lost from the world until recently, when a certain YouTuber revisited Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball, found Pappy, and has since brought him to the level of fame and admiration he deserves. Since then, Nintendo fans are calling for Pappy Van Poodle to have a more prominent place in the Nintendo universe.

This article will take a look at the mysterious figure of pappy Van Poodle and why the internet has fallen in love with him.

Who Is Pappy Van Poodle? Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball was released exclusively in North America in 2014 as a free-to-play game in the Nintendo 3DS eShop. While the game itself was free to download, players had to purchase mini-games with real money to progress through the game’s story. In order to purchase mini-games, players had to buy them from Rusty Slugger, the main character in the game. There was a catch, however. You could haggle with Rusty.

Mini-games started at the price of $4.00 in real USD, but ol’ Rusty was a pretty poor negotiator, and would usually give you a far better price. Obviously, if you could pay significantly less money for mini-games, you would. That’s just a fiscally responsible decision. In fact, if you even try to pay Rusty the full price, one of his children will appear on the screen and remind you that you can haggle him down. However, in this rare case, being financially savvy had a significant drawback: you’d miss out on the opportunity to meet Pappy Van Poodle.
