Do you think we start with one jock and one uchi villager?

[Sweetley]

I would have bet all my money that the sheep is a girl and either a Peppy or Normal, but taking a closer look, I guess it's really a male sheep and probably a Jock. Still like it tho.

In that case, I hope you can get any of the new villagers as starters too. I would try to get then Hazel and the new sheep (unless the new wolf villager turns out to be a Uchi, then I will try to get her).

 

[Dizzardy]

It's definitely hard to imagine that the pink sheep villager is going to be both male and a jock. I feel if you found a dictionary and looked up the word "peppy" there'd be a picture of this villager next to it.

Though I think a part of that is because I wouldn't really expect the Animal Crossing team to break gender barriers like that. Maybe I'm not giving them enough credit?

Hey just thought id update that theres been another development in this theory! Someone else got played some of the game and they started with Flo and Genji. This, to me, makes it seem more than just a coincidence. What do you all think?

Wow I avoided this thread for a while because I thought people were all just looking into it too much, but wow I'm starting to think it's not just a coincidence. What a weird choice.

If this is true, it’s super weird imo. Why limit our starting villagers to two personalities? I seriously can’t think of a good reason for it lol.

 

[keybug55]

I've might have heard it might be the case that it will always be Jock and Uchi, the reasoning it being those are the best personalities to introduce new players to a brand new island. The reason it being having a "Big brother" and "Big sister" personality types helping you out.

Yeah, I would've wanted more variety but this is most likely why they chose this

 

[Neechan]

Probably since Jock/Uchi are more willing to leave for a new adventure, so to speak, they’d be the first to go to a deserted island I honestly can’t see the other personalities doing this out of the blue.

Snooties would want a more developed area (like having a shopping district)
Lazies would be none too motivated to up and go to an area they have never been (unless food is involved)
Normals possibly would be up for it, but would be ones that pack up at the last minute and forget their flight time
Smugs are the same as snooties, but they’d want to know what they are getting into before living here
Peppies wouldn’t go unless there was something in it for them (like their ‘fans’)
Crankies wouldn’t like change all that much, they’d need a little incentive to up and come over and live on a deserted island

 

[visibleghost]

no, i don't see why they would do that.

As someone who does weightlifting as a hobby, I can relate towards the jocks, and enjoy their over the top stereotypical humor, and relationship towards the lazy villagers. So I'm not against getting a Jock at start.

 

[AquaMarie]

We have yet another Jock/Uchi pair, this one from PAX. It's Sly and Katt.

 

[Amilee]

those are my least favorite type of villagers but i guess its fine. they are some good ones and you dont have to keep them forever.
also i agree that they personalities make the most sense

Thanks

I guess it makes sense that jock/Uchi could be the most suited to moving to a deserted island, but to me that just doesn’t seem that important, so it’s still a shame that it seems they’ve limited the villagers you can start with. Your first villagers are one of the more fun surprises when you start a game, this will make it much less of a surprise.

 

[TheCelestial11]

Again from a PAX video you can see the town map with 5 villagers. The first 2 listed are what seems to be the new horse and Antonio. So jock and most likely uchi !

 

[debinoresu]

so we've still literally never seen a starting pair of villagers that's verifiably not jock/uchi, an incredibly unlikely villager combination to begin with? unless youre still grasping onto the idea that it's just for the demo for some reason, this is seeming pretty open and shut

Thank you!!! I didn't see that, but I have been crossing my fingers that the horse would be Uchi! I had a really good feeling she would be!

 

[Chipl95]

I hope it is random but I would like to start with an uchi.

 

[Jhine7]

At this point, yes, I do believe those will be the 2 starting villager personality types.

 

[Soot Sprite]

At this point I think we can all just accept this is what we can expect for the first two villagers. Their personalities make sense, and since nobody has seen any combination except for uchi/jock, so I would be suprised if it was anything different at this point.

 

[TheRealWC]

Is the new female horse an Uchi? In the PAX gameplay there are obviously 5 villagers. We have a jock (Antonio), but the only possible character that could be an Uchi would be the horse. Celia is a normal and Bianca is a peppy.

EDIT: This has been covered in the other thread, but "Reneigh" is most likely Uchi.
