Players with one species island… Is it fun to have one species island? I mean, does it get boring with the time to not get variety of species?
 
I have two wolves and eight dogs on my island. I’d have ten dogs, but I wanted a certain color scheme. The wolves are just the leaders, and they are the closest things to dogs in-game. It didn’t get boring. I loved my set of villagers. You should get villagers you want and not worry about personality or species. Think: I like Lolly but I can’t have her because she’s not a dog. In my opinion, this isn’t a good mindset to have. If you want a singular species island, choose villagers in that species you like. You can also go for a duo species island, having two different species.

Duo species island sounds like a great idea actually!
 
I had an all penguin island for awhile and loved it. I thought at one time of having an all duck island. I will go back to an all penguin island eventually but wanted to see different villagers first.
 
I have a duck island,a koala island and an island that's half hippos and half chickens.I don't get tired of having just one species but I do miss being able to have all the personality types because some species don't have them all.(There are no cranky or sisterly ducks)

I've never considered having an all one-species island before, but thinking about it, I have two elephants on my island, and they're my favorites. They're just so sweet and very weird. I always laugh after reading what they say. I have an ocotopus, and while she's very sweet, she squicks me out looking at her.
 
I'm just two frogs away from my all frog town. My town of R'lyeh has come a long way since launch. I had no real plan when it came to villagers. My first dreamie list was of the octopus villagers and then random villagers, like Drago, that were based on mythology or motifs like that to suit the supernatural aspect of the town. Then it was the octopus villagers plus frogs to fill in the remaining personality slots. Later on, I decided on all frogs and I like it. . I do like frogs because I had a plus frog as a kid and I have a frog piggy bank.

In hindsight, I think an all penguin island would have been neat with a town name of Cobblepot. That is just one solo species town idea that I've had because what about an all pig island named Orwell? I also thought of an all koala town named Koalawalla after an old Nickleodeon show named Noozles.

I hope that Nintendo will make more new villagers so that every species (counting bulls and cows as one) has at least one villager of each personality type so that a player can use. Then there's the thought of what if the player wants to make an island with an equal number of males and female. I think with lionesses, they would just modify the lion model to remove the mane. I would have loved an all gorilla town because I like gorillas also.

PS: Would hope that Nintendo would one day let the player be able to change the name of the town. I believe that it might happen someday since the player can change the appearance of the player character.

In AC: NL, I alternated between having an all penguin Island and an all cat island!
 
if you want it then i'd say go for it tbh (when i played a lot of new leaf i had nothing but cats and i enjoyed my time with the setup)

if you're not entirely sure then i'd go for a mix-and-match type villager setup, like a certain amount of a species
(e.g. 4 cats, 4 wolves, 2 tigers; or 5 squirrels and 5 deer; or 2 frogs, 2 cats, 2 tigers, 2 wolves, 2 dogs; etc etc. that sorta thing)

i've realized it's best to just go for what you like instead of worrying about having all the personalities n' such but up to you of course
