Oh, I didn't mention my WW town, but I believe I have all of my original villagers, I just can't remember who because I haven't been on WW in a while.
In my NL town, I still have my original five, Clay, Peaches, Walt, Dotty and Diana, I'm planning on letting the first four leave after I have their pics.
This site changed me lol. Back in WW and CF, the thought of letting my villagers go never even occurred to me, I always made them stay and they never left. If there was anyone I didn't like that much, then we'd just be not-so-good friends, but I wouldn't impatiently wish they'd leave, like I do in NL now.
As of NL though, I still have most of my originals: Merengue, Rosie, Ribbot and Biskit were there when I started my town and of the five originals, I only let Camofrog go. I guess I got lucky there with my originals, I wasn't even one of those super keen resetters that reset hundreds of times for a good starter town, but I ended up with pretty likable ones.
In Wild World, Nan is the only original villager I have left. In New Leaf, I still have Lobo and Pudge, but I'm thinking about letting Lobo move out, since I already got his picture and I don't need 3 cranky villagers in my town.
I'm needing a Cranky. (I also need a Uchi.) I let go of Walt, an original with me, sometime the last Fall season. (And I let go of Shari at the end of 2013.) I did this without baring in mind the personality type represented. It is necessary to cover ground with the different personality types if one wants access to suggested Public Works Projects which only get mentioned by certain types of villagers. (I recently let go of Keaton as well. It was good having an eagle. But I needed to make room.)
I started playing "New Leaf" last August. It's difficult to remember Day #01. But, I'm very sure that Jambette was there right on Day #01. And she is the only Normal villager in my time. She's valuable. She is sweet and kind. So I want her to stay. I think Scoot was also there from Day #01. He delights me with his overly enthusiastic communication style. Drago—the most popular here (from my current cast of villagers)—moved within five days from my first date of play.
I intend to hold onto all three—Jambette, Scoot, and Drago. Personal value to me. But others eventually will go.
I more and more like Kidd. And Twiggy is nice. Hans, who arrived in late-August, will be the next to go. After him, I want Clyde (present since early-December) to leave. I'm liking Simon, who was uninvited (when I discovered his lot), and that is pleasantly surprising. And I recently "adopted" Broffina from forum member Sugapuff—a generous gesture that I greatly appreciate because I think that, despite being part of the Snooty category, Broffina is smart and witty. She enhances my purpose of making my town boast a better variety of personality types.
