In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+

Tortimer also appears by the lake and gives the player a Moon if spoken to. In Doubutsu no Mori+, he instead gives the player a Tsukimi Dango.
In Animal Crossing: City Folk

Tortimer can be seen near the Town Hall from 6 AM to 12 AM. He will give the player a gift that is different for each region.
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Isabelle is present in the Plaza from 6 AM to 12 AM, and she will give the player a gift that is different for each region. The standee in the plaza is also different between regions. In Japanese versions, it is a table with dango on that is being overlooked by a mountain and a moon. In the North American version, it's a scarecrow in a farm field overlooking the Autumn Moon.
In the Japanese version, the event is referred to as Tsukimi (お月見 Otsukimi?), while the Korean version refers to it as Chuseok (추석 Chuseok).
