Topic: AC:NL Random Spotpass

I didn't know whether to make this its own thread or just post on the New Leaf thread, so I did this. I figured it would get more attention this way. So in Animal Crossing New Leaf I keep getting random spotpass' of people's homes (which I'm not complaining about). I've already gotten quite a few, and my brother got one or two... I was wondering if this is a common thing. Has this happened to anyone else? And does anyone know why this could be happening? Just wondering.

I was thinking maybe it's from people near me, but I don't think anyone near me has a 3DS, and there aren't any kids or young people near me so that lowers the chances of that...

Nintendo does it because they want you to use the happy room showcase even in low-streetpass areas.

huh, i guess that means i should be checking my showcase more often to see if anything has popped up

Also, it makes you go to a specific town in the dream suite when you ask what's her name to surprise you. Yesterday's looked like it was perfected to a ludicrous extent.
And the special item for the month I believe uses Spotpass.

Even if I'm a bit of topic what's the real reason for dream... I mean you do stuff but nothings came back from it when you "come back home"....

I've got a few spotpass dot on the icon that seem strange at first but after a few time it seem like @Happy_Mask it's because of the month item and lilke @Morphtorok said to help you get home in the HRS even if you don't streetpass a lot (and I find that a great idea because in my city it's hard to streetpass)...
