Best Robot Villager?

[Bioness]

Which of the three robotic villagers do you think is the best or is your favorite? For reference here is what they look like and what their interior houses look like.

_________

_________

Del: Cranky Alligator ________ Ribbot: Jock Frog _______________ Sprocket: Jock Ostrich

Spoiler: Del House

Spoiler: Ribbot House

Spoiler: Sprocket House

While Ribbot and Sprocket are obviously robotic, there may be some contention on Del, however in New Horizon he has the same shiny coat, segmented parts, and makes the robotic noises that both Ribbot and Sprocket make. Thus confirming he is mechanical, although Del is more industrial/nautical looking than Ribbot and Sprocket.

i had no clue del was meant to be robotic lmao. uh i don’t really like any of them tbh but i guess i’ll vote for ribbot since i like his house interior the best lol

 

[Dim]

Sprocket's house is the coolest. Sill, I kinda like Ribbot the best

 

[Khaelis]

I like Del the most.

 

[LaFra]

Sprocket because is a ostrich. /thread

However i have Ribbot in my island, I have to kick out this abomination asap and ironically make a free spot for Sprocket (and/or Sandy).

Ribbot's house in NH is lit

He and Sprocket need to trade floor/wallpaper

 

[MrFrond]

Del's roboticness is a lot more clear in New Horizons. His eyes are backlit and now his arms and legs have joints about them. He's the neatest looking in my opinion!

 

[Nefarious]

I had no clue Del was robotic. I like his design best of the three I think, but Ribbot has the best house.

 

[Believe]

Didn't know Del was a robot either! I think they did a good job improving Sprocket from New Leaf, but Ribbot is still my favorite

 

[Zura]

Ribbot is my main man!

His Japanese name makes it more obvious, its "Yamato" and his colouration and metallic design seems to make him a reference to the Japanese battleship "Yamato."

Ribbot and Sprocket are both ridiculously underrated villagers. My bf has both, and I'm so jealous hahah. They are robots, who are obsessed with muscles. Just take a moment to reflect on how funny/sad/fantastic that is.

 

[Jared:3]

Ribbot is the best one, I have a soft spot for Ribbot because he was in my very first new leaf town

 

[Spunki]

Del followed me in a lot of Towns, so I do have a soft spot for him. I also like his color.

But I also like Ribbot a lot. So it’s hard too choose.

No big Opinion on Sprocket, because I never had him.

My favorite of the three would probably have to be Ribbot. He just stood out immediately to me when I first saw him in the player's guide for the GameCube game all those years ago and I think he's the most iconic of the three for me.

I'm glad to hear that Del has been made to look more robotic in this game. I sort of had a headcanon in New Leaf that he was a robot villager based on his design and I have all three of them as neighbors in a little section. I'm almost tempted to adopt him in this game because of this mention of his eyes being backlit now, that sounds really cool.

I love all three of them and hope that there will be more robot villagers for all of the other species in the future.

Yeah, I've never really understood why they never seemed that popular in New Leaf. Haven't checked out any tier lists or whatever for this game since I have favorites from across all of the different tiers and don't really care, so I don't know if more people are coming to appreciate them nowadays, but they're great.

I like Ribbot's design the best but I'm leaning towards liking Del more. Mostly because I find it... a little strange to make robot villagers jocks when they talk about muscles and such. It would make more sense if they look more android-y like Del, but they looks more like traditional, completely inorganic robots. I do like them all tho! It's really fun to have robot villagers :>

 

[Rinpane]

Sprocket for me! I’m not sure where his supposed muscles come from, but he’s a sweet ostrich regardless.
I keep thinking there’s more robot villagers than these 3, I guess not. Makes me wonder if there’ll ever be more.

I think Del is actually based on a ship, not a robot. You can see it best on this pic where his head is isolated:

His Japanese name is based on the battleship Yamato according to nookipedia, and he has a nautical theme.

Anyway, Ribbot is the best because he's a frog.

A better word might be "machine", I know he is supposed to be a ship/engine. Though didn't think to look at his Japanese name, thanks for that!

Well, obviously I gotta go with my best boy Ribbot!
