As I was thinking about ACNL pre-Welcome Amiibo, I started thinking of the subject of amiibo cards in general and was wondering how many people here on TBT care for amiibo support in general and how many don't, especially in NH, where amiibo cards usually aren't sold in stores anymore (at least where I live). Apologies if this has been done before, but I decided to make a poll on it! I'm talking about using amiibo to get villagers/move them into your island, not the cards as a whole.
Personally, I'm kind of indifferent to amiibo support. I love collecting the cards (though I prefer the original AC e-reader cards...but then again I prefer the original AC to pretty much any future installment), but as for actually moving villagers in, I pretty much only use them if I want an obscure, unpopular villager whom no one would really have on their island to give up (looking at you, Freckles). I much prefer island hopping to get my villagers, mainly because I like the thrill of seeing who I'm going to stumble upon next. Though, I do see the benefits of amiibo support, such as helping someone get their dream villagers and giving extra use to all the cards since Amiibo Festival...flopped. It was also a lot more helpful in NL since you couldn't really hunt for villagers and was forced to take who the game gave you...but in a way, I sort of prefer that to NH, where you're able to get all of your dream villagers right at the start of the game if you hunt enough. I'm not against using amiibo cards, but if I personally use them, I'll definitely only use them for one or two villagers and hunt for the rest. I think that the introduction of amiibo villagers decreases the longevity of my towns/islands because once I have all my villagers, I tend to get bored with the game and reset, but at the same time they help me get my guilty pleasure villagers, like Freckles or Jacques. With these factors balancing out, I can't say I don't like them, but I can't say I love them, either. What about you?

But I'll always have Amiibos to fall back on, lol
