Do you think we start with one jock and one uchi villager?

I think it would make sense! Uchi villagers like to help out and jock villagers would be good at helping build up the town literally c: those two combined with the player who has a bunch of ideas would work nicely!
 
I kind of hope not, because I want a chance to start with Rooney, even if the chances are 1/100 (Not literally, but I?m just saying chances are slight).

But a small part of me kinda hopes so, because two villagers I absolutely don?t want to start with are Rolf and Gaston.

Oh God, I hope they’re not bringing back this method of unlocking PWP’s -_-
 
It would be pretty crazy if that turned out to be just a coincidence!

I would prefer if we weren't locked into those two types for starters, but it wouldn't bother me very much.

Jocks are my least favorite, but I always try to have one of each personality type anyway. I actually love Hamlet and would be quite happy to start with him. I could also be ok with Bill, or Rod.

I really love the Uchi personality, but I don't love a lot of their character designs. I usually go with Muffy, Phoebe, or Pashmina as my Uchi, but I'd like to do something different this time around. I'm hoping with every fiber of my being that the new horse is Uchi, lol. If not, I might try to reset for Tammy or Agnes because I've never had them before.

Like I said, I would prefer if we're not locked into these two types as starters, but I can see a couple of positives if we are...1. It will make resetting for villagers less time consuming because it's a smaller pool of possibilities. And 2, as many have already said, I think these two types are best suited for the Getaway Package. I bet there would be some fun dialog, and many people might bond with a personality type they previously hated.

I?m going to be very disappointed if this is true. :( Jock is by far my least favorite personality in AC, and I was hoping to reset until I got Purrl as a stater.
 
i don't think it's necessarily jock and uchi as the starting pair, but dude villager and girl villager. they might've just happened to choose only jock and uchi villagers for their showcase or maybe there's an issue in the coding or something. i don't really mind who i start with because amiibo cards but it would kinda suck if everyone starts with the same personality types because when they all start asking to move, no one will want to trade for them because everyone already has a jock and uchi lol

Oh god if this is the case I'm gonna be super sad lol

I wanted to reset for Goldie... but if this is indeed the case, guess I'll be resetting for Fuchsia instead
 
This person with a review copy also got an uchi and jock (Mira and Biff). I don't really mind either way, but it's kinda weird
 
Omg that?s really weird and I hope it?s not true. But it would make it easier to reset for Kid Cat ;)
 
Would be kinda dumb if this is really going to be the case, as I thought you could get two random villagers from any personality. Well, if you really get "forced" to have a Uchi and Jock villager as your starters, then I hope I will get at least Hazel and maybe either Snake, Rudy or Pierce.
 
I personally think it might be random. However, I wouldn't turn down a jock for one of my first villagers.

Ahh!!! Another person who loves Purrl!! She's one of my dreamies too, I love her so much!!!

I also really hope it isn't the case. It'll just make it less likely that I'll get someone that I want to start out with. I love love Rudy and Deirdre, but the chances of getting them are slim. Most of the Uchis are ones I do not care for at all, and then the other Jocks are ok but still not any of my favorites ever. Hopefully it is a coincidence. I have no idea what to expect with that.
 
So, ever since this was pointed out, I rewatched the direct and paid close attention to the villagers that are shown whenever footage of the first days or so of the island were playing, and here's what I compiled from all the stuff we've been shown so far:

September 2019 Direct

Animal Crossing New Horizons Direct 2.20.2020


IGN Article
  • Hazel and Hamlet

Eurogamer Article
  • Mira and Biff

Gamesradar Article
  • Flo and Genji

Gameinformer Article
  • Mira and Mac


TBT Posts

Either this is the biggest coincidence I've ever seen in my life, or this is proof we start with an Uchi and a Jock.

If more information is released that shows the first few hours and they mention the starting villagers, please let me know so that I can update this list.

Edit: final list, apparently, just keeping it in this list for archive purposes I suppose.

Special thanks to:
  • Globes216, for first bringing this pattern to our attention and for providing a link to the gamesradar article
  • Verecund, for mentioning the IGN article, & Trundle for providing links to said article
  • Artsydreamer for mentioning the eurogamer article & jekabu for providing links to said article
  • Verecund, for providing a screenshot of the new sheep and pashmina
  • WhitBit, for providing a screenshot of the title screen from the PAX East demo
  • TheRealWC, for mentioning the possibility of Reneigh being a new Uchi villager
  • Khaelis, for providing a screenshot of the map from the PAX East demo, providing video proof of Reneigh being a new Uchi villager, and providing a screenshot of yet another uchi & jock pair
  • jiojiop, for maths
  • mae., for compiling screenshots from all the animal crossing official twitter showcasing more uchi & jock pairs
  • Justin, for posting an article on Animal Crossing World about this and providing even more information that we missed

Thank you so much to everyone involved not only in finding more screen or info on more uchi&jock pairs, but for also keeping on discussing this interesting topic while we awaited official confirmation (and we got it by ways of nintendo releasing a bunch of screenshots and practically confirming it's a real thing lol)

Well, if this means I have a higher chance of starting with Cherry then that makes me happy! Maybe I'll get lucky with her.
 
I honestly would not be mad if this was the case, Jock villagers are my favourite male personality type, they're so dorky and fun. I would ideally get Snake, but I would be extremely happy with Genji, Bam or Mac and there's still a bunch more I'd be happy with.

Funnily enough, Uchi personality type is my least favourite for female villagers, but I do like a lot of the designs. Phoebe was my first Uchi, so I have the biggest soft spot for her.. followed by Agnes, Canberra and Hazel.
 
oh man if this truly is the case i hope i start with my bud Goose and perhaps either Plucky or Deirdre. for some reason i just really like the chicken villagers i guess.
 
I have a new theory about the starters! Here's a quote from IGN.

With the bulk of the customization done, Timmy and Tommy have one final question: what’s the one thing you’d bring with you to a deserted island? I was asked to choose between a sleeping bag, a lamp, some food, or something to kill time. I like wandering around at night so I chose the lamp. Timmy reassured me that Nook Inc. would provide all essentials despite my choice, and the Nintendo rep said my answer wouldn’t do anything directly but didn’t elaborate on the possibilities.

What if this question helps to determine the personality types?

Maybe everyone has chosen the lamp so far and that's why we've only seen Jock and Uchi starters. The sleeping bag could be Smug and Snooty, the food Lazy and Peppy, and the "something to kill time" Normal and Cranky.

That would still be a really big coincidence that everyone chose the same option, but it could definitely be a possibility. The question must affect something, so why not this?
