My first time actually playing AC was actually with NL.
I joined this site shortly after starting because I wanted bells and saw villagers sold for crazy amounts.
I remember I had Freya, Fang, Dotty, Hamlet, Quillson but that's all I remember.
I don't remember too well the villagers I had in my first ever Gamecube town, seeing as that was more than 10 years ago The only ones I remember were Rolf, who used to scare me. And Ava, the cute little chicken
I can't remember many villagers from my City Folk game cause I didn't play it very often but I remember having Cube and loved him!
In my New Leaf game though my first villagers were bluebear, peaches, clay, samson, and francine!
My first Animal Crossing game was the GameCube version and the only characters I remember were Buck, Stitches, Stella,Tangy, Drift, Chow, Harry, and Friga. I don't remember much from City folk but I know right now I have Ruby, Mallary, Fang, Truffles, and Pinky. For New Leaf my original villagers were Apple, Benjamin, Bruce, Charlise, Clay, Marshal, Sally, Sheldon, and Sylvia :3
ACNL was actually my first game and I'm coming up on my one year anniversary of owning it! Anyway it's sad but I don't think I remember all of my originals. I think everyone starts with 5, and I remember having(?):
-Apple
-Groucho
-Papi
-Rod
-Sydney
I still have Papi and dang do I miss Groucho </3
definitely remember having bob, twiggy, and roald in wild world. bob was my favorite and he gave me his picture which was a huge deal to me as a kid ;v;
My first five ever Animal Crossing Villagers are in New Leaf (im new to the series) and it was way back 2014 when I bought the game for my birthday. But that town was reset since im quite the perfectionst and stopped playing ACNL for a while.
they were:
1. Carmen
2. Tucker
3. Aurora
4. Eloise
5. Bud
This is the reason why I love Carmen because she was soooo cute in that game of mine. So when I started my town last July 1, I was cycling for a good map that when I found one.. it was such a nice feeling that Carmen was there again. Tucker was alaso there but he is leaving now
