Birthdays are the perfect time to give gifts, as gifts given on birthdays give a bonus to their affection towards you. It also sort of makes up for time you’ve spent totally ignoring someone, just a bit anyway
The calendar listings below touch on both the birthdays and holidays to expect during your time in Mineral Town. These can actually be seen in-game, but if you’re like me, you may prefer to have them written out to look at while you’re running around town.
What are alt birthdays?
The game tries not to make it so you have a birthday on the same day as other important characters, so alt birthdays are set when you have your birthday on the same day as their default.
For example, Popuri’s birthday is by default on Summer 3. If you set your birthday to Summer 3, her birthday will be moved to Summer 10 instead.
