Watch out for.... hints and tips for Harvest Moon DS

Watch out for....

As you may or may not have noticed, the rival events happen more frequently than on FOMT or MFOMT. So to prevent this, I think that you should try to give the girl you like before the rival is in the same place as her. Lucky for you I will list all the rivals.

Muffy's Rival is Griffin

Celia's Rival is Marlin

Nami's Rival is Gustafa

Flora's Rival is Carter

Lumina's Rival is Rock

Also if you do manage to get them in the same place, if you haven't seen any other rival events, do not catch:

Do not catch Nami and Gustafa at the pond by Cody's

Do not catch Lumina and Rock at the Goddess Pond

The rest of these are somewhat easy to trigger accidentaly, as they often are in the same place

Muffy and Griffin at the bar

Celia and Marlin at the seed shop with Vesta

Flora and Carter at the digsite

Lord that was a lot of typing!
