Yeah I've done 2 16 cycles and I let 3 of my dreamies move in order to get the one I lost back.. (Erik cycle made me get rid of Boomer (Erik's replacement), Renée (I wanted to get Rocket back anyway) and Celia and the Bangle cycle made me get rid of Boomer (again, third time I let him go
.. Wanted Joey back), Flora (Bangle's replacement) and Poppy) .. 3 spots for randomers is decent enough
.. Completed the 16 cycle for Bangle in 5 days (thank eff.. I hate cycling my main town, lol)
But I still think Rod is epic
But think of it this way.. If you let Marshal go and cycle for him, you could then get Axel back afterward (it'd also give you some time to decide if you wanted him, or a jock at all)
And the Pekoe bun hair thing is even more weird.. It's like Penelope's bow ears (which frankly I quite like, but it's still a bit weird)
