Okay I recently got back into ACNL a few days ago after randomly going on and discovering the Welcome Amiibo update (yes, I know I'm very late xD) and I just wanted to clarify, can you get a villager back that moved out even though you haven't gone through the 16 villager cycle (it was 16, right? Correct me if I'm wrong)? I thought I heard that somewhere but I just wanted to make sure.
Like in my case, Phoebe moved out after I played around with time traveling too much, and I haven't gone through the cycle to get her back yet, but if I got her card (still not sure how exactly the cards work l-lol) would she be able to move in?
And another similar question related to that is like, would I be able to take her from someone else's town? Like, if they had her card and put her in boxes, would that work or not?
Sorry if I don't make any sense, this whole amiibo stuff confuses me but it also seems like such a handy and interesting mechanic. :')
