At one point I wanted to get everyone’s photo. I still might try with my second island. I usually go with those I like aesthetically and end up not wanting them to leave. I was going to wait for awhile to get my dream villagers but when they started to show up I picked them then this way I don’t have to try for them later. That’s true I like that you can go and look for your villagers instead of waiting for them to come to you.
How do you choose what villagers stay on your islands?

At the beginning when I first started I was dead set on having like 5 specific villagers on my island and swore I'd never replace them or be happy with it until I got them. I found it made searches on mystery islands kind of difficult and disappointing and after I collected some of them I kind of stopped that approach and started taking villagers that felt right at the time.
Now I like to keep 1-3 spots for these kind of spur of the moment change decisions on each of my island. In other words, I have 7 or 8 set villagers with two spots I'm good with letting some come in and out. I think I tend to hang onto the rarer villagers or villagers that don't currently have amiibos but in general I'm okay with letting some of the more common ones go if I have their amiibo. To make the choice I usually look at how much I enjoy interacting with them, what their house looks like (i.e. does their house match my island or does it stick out, etc.), what they look like, can I get them back in the future, etc. when deciding my permanent lineup.

Looking for specific villagers is definitely hard. I usually find them when I’m not looking for them. I know when I try to find Roald it will probably take awhile. Which is why I’m thinking of getting his amiibo. I have two spots on my second island that are for villages that are not permanent. Even though I have Fangs amiibo I might not let him go. Some villagers I thought I would want longer like Ruby and Julian but let them go after I got their photos. Sometimes I go by how the house looks. I won’t get rid of Hopper because I really like him. I just wish I could change the outside of his house.
That's a tricky question, I like the idea of having permanent villagers but I also love meeting new villagers. I have a lot more than 10 favorite villagers so I always want to switch them out. Honestly most of the ones I'm keeping right now, I'm doing it because it seems like a shame not to get their photo before letting them go.
I usually just go with the flow, I'm more likely to let a villager go if I already have another with the same personnality, or if I've already had them in the past. Maybe the day I choose a theme for my island I'll establish a dreamie list, but until then I'll just switch out villagers whenever I feel like it.

I just chose all my favourites : ) with some leeway as to not have 5 of the same personality type. When I needed a new personality type, I’d go through the wiki and pick my favourite. I also wanted a theme of all natural looking forest animals.
That’s one of the reasons I got a second island. This way I can have an island that has permanent villagers and one where I can still have new villagers. My permanent villagers keep changing. Some I am keeping on my islands until I get there photo. There is only one villager Cyrano I didn’t get his photo and wish I had. I usually try to have one of each personality. Right now on Serenity I have 3 cranky and 2 lazy.

I have so many favorites since there are so many amazing villagers. It’s hard to pick just 10. I’d love to be able to have a few more villagers. I keep going to mystery islands and finding new favorites. Cleo was new to me and now can never leave my second island.
