in lumatown i have ten villagers, but in pearlsey i have nine. i voted for nine because i haven't been playing in lumatown at all over these past couple of months.
I'm back to 10 again on my re-started town, and really, they should have made it at least 12. If you're going to spread it out like the original, adding 2 levels like the original, at least get closer to the original in the amount of villagers living in your town! Goes from 15 to 8 (that can be understood the DS was limited), but to only go back to 10? Come on!!
I voted for 10 because that's how many are in my new leaf town but then I realized this is in the city folk category. I'm not sure how many villagers are in that town! Possibly 10 as well.
