Benedict. I’ve never seen anybody actually say they hate him, but I know he isn’t popular. I love him so much though, he’s one of my favorite villagers by far
I'd say Elise and Broffina. They were both my starting villagers in my old town and it was before I knew of villager popularity. I just loved them. Going back even further to when I was like 12, I absolutely adored Harry!
Poncho! I mean he is not disliked but still not very popular. He was my buddy all along wild world. I also have some kind of special bond with marcel and pekoe!
Kitty and Alfonso are my 2 favorite villagers. They were in my old Gamecube and City Folk towns, and I talked to them almost every day. I don't care that much about villager popularity, but part of me does kind of like that you don't see those 2 in seemingly every dream town in existence.
Both Rolf and Frank hold a special place in my heart. Rolf was in my very first ever Animal Crossing town, which I started in New Leaf. For whatever reason, I took a liking to him and he stuck around until I left the town for around 3 years. Frank wasn't there from the beginning, but he moved in shortly after I started and I took a liking to him too. Ever since, I can't wait to get them back into my new town.
I?m not sure how popular some of them are, but two big favorites for me that I never see people talk about are Cole the lazy bunny and Amelia the snooty eagle. There?s plenty I think are underrated!
