i do have a soft spot for the cute villagers but i wouldn't say that i outright hate any "ugly" villagers - if i end up liking them and how they interact with the others villagers then they get to stay!
i might have some aversions to certain villagers but it's mostly personality type more than anything
I've never considered any of the villagers "ugly". There are just hundreds of villagers that come in all sorts of designs.
Just based on some of the names that come up in the other posts in this thread, I think Hazel, Gaston, Bertha, and Tabby are all really adorable! Tabby is one of my favourites, and my favourite cat by far.
Not really. There are villagers I love that are thought of as ugly by some people, and there are villagers I don't like as much that some people think are cute. Which villagers are ugly and which are cute is subjective, so I can't even definitively say whether villagers I like are cute or ugly
I'm a bit embarrassed about this, but, when I first joined the fandom about 1-2 years ago, I only wanted my dreamies. Whitney, Raymond, Ione, Lolly... However, as I've gotten older I've returned to the game, and my tastes have expanded quite a bit more. There's only about 16 villagers that I'd never want on my island, as I like/love most of them. Do I still love my dreamies? Of course. But it's starting to feel a bit stale with only my favorites. Regarding the topic, some of my favorite unpopular villagers are Quinn, Mira, Reneigh, Buck, Tasha, and of course all of the kangaroos. My all time favorite is probably Sylvia. I've formed a super close bond with her and I love her to death ^^
I mean it depends how bad they look I definitely have more of an appreciation for the ‘ugly’ villagers now though because you just see the popular ones all the time. Sometimes it’s nice to have a villager that’s not seen often, and to me it’s more about personality than looks too.
Ugly is subjective. Some people think Pietro is creepy, but I love him. [fun fact, as of about 5 minutes ago, I changed my pfp here for the first time since I joined in 2019 to what it is now- Pietro waving.] Anyway, I know there are some villagers I dislike because of one reason or another. I'm not the biggest Raymond fan, because his stans scare me so much that they ruined the character for me. I don't like Tipper or Patty for reasons I cannot remember. [legit, I've been mad at them since I was playing Wild World and don't remember why.] I owe my love of cranky villagers to Angus, who has a special place in my heart- despite Kabuki being my #1 cranky friend.
I've had Marcel on an island before- a villager who has been compared to the Joker- but I had him to run an amusement park alongside Pietro and Stitches, which was a really cute thing.
One thing I love about Animal Crossing or Pokemon is that every character is someone's favorite. [kinda hard to believe, but yes, there's someone out there who loves the Pokemon Nosepass for example]
Having said all this... at this point, the villagers have been so washed out that all that really remains are their looks. Tama Hero said in her video "The Evolution of Villagers in Animal Crossing" that "Butch is now a lot like Raymond, where the most you can say about him is describe his appearance." Compared to how villagers like Butch acted in older games- Wild World being a prime example- they've been stripped down to just being cute little dolls.
I recently found out my accident that Chephelobot (sorry f thats wrong spelling) was my favorite villager. I found him on a random island and just fell in love heheheh
i don't really mind a lot of villagers i get but appearance can definitely be a big factor. though i like quite a few villagers who are generally considered to be "ugly" ex. katt, bubbles, jambette, they have an appeal to me
