One of the reasons that you may not be able to connect to Nintendo WFC is that your user

• Your user information has been deleted from the Nintendo WFC setting options.
• Your ANIMAL CROSSING: WILD WORLD Game Card was inserted in another Nintendo DS

Doing any of the above will cause your user information to change, so you’ll have to ask all of
your friends on your FRIEND ROSTER to re-register your friend code (see page 31). You don’t know who will get your bottle mail, so protect your privacy and do not give out
personal information such as last name, phone number, birth date, age, e-mail or home address
