    Sorry if this sounds dumb. If Jack has to roam the area between heaven and hell wouldn’t that be considered purgatory? If he can appear and freely roam around your town doesn’t that further prove the idea that the game is set in purgatory?

    I just thought he was a sort of imp that likes candy and uses a gown and jack-o-lantern as disguise to appear more friendly. While mischievous and playful, he's not exactly harmful.
    And (probably like most people did) I thought his localized name was rather derived from jack-o-lantern or jack-in-the-box, since the original just says something among the lines of "Pumpkin King".

      You can actually PRETEND to have jack in town by starting a new game (in the same town where you are mayor) naming THEM jack and ordering the patched dress/robe FROM jacks RV and (i dont remember how to get the pumpkin head mask) then filling their house with the spooky set and MORE furniture from the RV.

    Oh Jack, oh Jack,
    the pumpkin atop his head!
    His deeds when his heart still pumped
    were cruel and mislead.
    He liked his food nice and sweet
    always chipper with the beat
    but nevertheless, his evil deeds were not to be misread!
    Alas, the devil came to take claim
    of his selfish, dark soul!
    But little did he know
    of the stunts that he pulled.
    For Jack had evaded him twice
    before time rolled the dice
    and soon, he found himself drowned in the sweet.
    He was ready to walk into the light
    but the gates were shut tight,
    he tried to walk into the dark
    but the devil set the deal right!
    And oh he begged for something to do-
    a mission to devote his afterlife to,
    and he was sent to the living realm again.
    The bright shores,
    the smiling sun,
    the clear skies,
    and all the fun,
    on your island he arrived!
    On the misty October,
    Halloween time!
    His death had pushed him to realize
    as he stayed on your home for long,
    that all his stunts and jokes and tricks
    were nothing short of wrong!
    And so he tried to rewrite his ways
    and oh what a joyous spirit he was!
    Candy and harmless jokes all the days
    as he received much love...
    But you can never let go of the lingering thought
    that you’re trapped with no escape...
    That for everything there is a cost
    and that karma has won the race.
    All those friendly faces,
    all those selfless smiles,
    all those gentle laughs
    and happiness all the while!
    All those friends he made...
    He’ll have to see him go...
    For if you’re trapped and eternal, you can’t visit them so...
    Oh Jack, oh Jack,
    The pumpkin atop his head!
    His days were done
    as a real one
    and so presume his dread...

Later I came up with a theory that Jack was Satan or some Demon of some sort so every halloween I put Cross designs on the ground to ward him off. (Never works tho...)

The pumpkin king” I have known the whole movie since I was younger. but tell me though do they not seem similar, all in all I just think jacks I reference to the nightmare before Christmas.please see this!

    Well, My head canon is that i think He is a human dressed up as a pumpkin in disguise. In his pumpkin costume He is fun loving, but as a human, He is tired and exhausted. In 2005 - 2007 the reason why jack never Appeared In Wild world is because He was exhausted, like his true self and Didn't Want to do trick or treating. Also why He never took off his Mask is because He has alot of scars and burns that never healed, so He always Takes off his Mask when no one Sees him.

    Even though you have some proof as to what exactly Jack is, I must sadly go against your theory. As most of us know, Nintendo is a Japanese based company, and loves to put Japanese fokelore in their games. Whisp being a "spirit" isn't far off of what he actually is. Whisp is a yōkai. These are entities (commonly spirits or demons) that affect the every day life of everyone around you. Jack is the same way. He wants candy, and comes and goes when he can. Yōkai also take on any shape or form, explaining his pumpkin head and human body. I do find your theory of the game being set in purgatory believable, but that could also be a kid who thought they were in a dream actually being in a hellacious nightmare that they can't get out of because they are lost in their own mind or simply in a coma. This could also be why you travel in a car or train. You could have gone into the coma in an accident of one of them. Nintendo also includes a fair share of other creepy things, but for now I will rest my case, and see if you can prove or disprove my theory.
    P.S I in no way communicate or work with Nintendo or any of the employees.
