That one villager you couldn't function without...?

[Feferily]

Lolly, probably. She sent me letters during a hard time and it just.. big boost to my mental health. Zucker as well, because he gives nothing but joy whenever he's seen. Little octoball <3

Usually it's Lobo. But I got Wolfgang from an island tour and then the urge to have Lobo for the fourth game in a row kind of just vanished.

So, I guess as long if it's cranky, it's blue, and it's wolf-shaped then it fills the void.

punchy, always need him

had him as a starter on Wii as a kid and we've been bros ever since

Oh my gosh did you actually call your island ‘Pen’.

I see what you did there

 

[Hyoshido]

Genji, had him as a villager in every AC game starting from Wild World
I was so grateful to have him as a freebie from someone in New Horizons

 

[Heartcore]

I'd say that this definitely is Lobo for me. My island felt so empty without him--he was the heart of my New Leaf village. I just love him so much. Diana was also crucial for me to have again in this game. And now I can add Sherb to that list going forward in future titles.

 

[kikotoot]

I never understood the bob hype, but when I saw him on a mystery island tour I asked him to move in cuz I figured he was popular, but now that he's here I love him <3

New Leaf was my first game. In New Leaf, I was mainly attached to Snake and Quillson. They were some of my earliest villagers so I grew attached to them, and I like Quillson because he's "ugly" so it was kind of a meme...

Now, my favorite villager is Sherb of all time. He's SO cute, he's a lazy villager, and he looks like my boyfriend irl. :'-) I spent three days time traveling for him, and I'm so happy to have him!! I need to update my signature, haha.

 

[Soigne]

as strange as it is, rod. he's the villager i remember the most from wild world & city folk. i don't think i ever had him in new leaf, but...something about that little guy.

 

[thundershot]

Woolio....... *weeps*

Also Rocco. Though Camofrog and Savannah have been there for me the most..

PG - Woolio and Rocco
WW - Camofrog, Savannah, and Rod (pirate themed town)
CF - Camofrog, Savannah, Rod, and Ankha (Egyptian themed town)
NL - Rocco, Camofrog, Savannah, Rod, Ankha, Julian, and Flora (no town theme but got the gang all together plus two new friends)
NH - Camofrog, Savannah, and Rocco (no theme, but leaving room to meet some new animal friends)

So unless Woolio comes back in a card set (PLEASE) I’m keeping Camofrog, Savannah, and Rocco as my core three. Rocco isn’t here yet because to ensure my enjoyment of the game long term, I only let an animal leave if I have their pic, but I have a place reserved for him with my, Camofrog, and Savannah’s homes up on the top of the hill, watching over our subjects. lol

It's really refreshing to see some villagers who would not always be typically seen as "popular" as well - not saying that there's anything wrong with having the popular ones as dreamies,
But this was a very interesting perspective.

 

[artisansystem]

Mine is Eugene! He showed up in my New Leaf town and I've loved him since then, and I couldn't imagine my town feeling complete without him. Can't wait to get him in New Horizons!

 

[LambdaDelta]

I certainly couldn't function without myself

 

[th8827]

Ankha, because Ankha.

 

[Dormire]

Mitzi. She's been with me for years in New Leaf and has never left my town no matter what. So I got her Amiibo to ensure she'll be present in all my AC playthroughs.

 

[Eirrinn]

Bob and Rosie!!!!!! I love them so much T_T

 

[Spunki]

Jacques. I was so upset that Otis never reappeared and neither Midge, Anchovy or Jay filled the void I had after playing the future games. Then they brought some new Villagers and I was like: „Wait... is that a Crow/Blackbird? And he has a French name? And a Goatee and a Beanie?“

I just loved his design at that moment. It was a Villager I had to get. Now I have his Card and i will never ever get rid of it. It’s my secret Treasure.

I also like Rod a lot and was happy they brought him back. And Gonzo will probably als end up as a villager that I will also try to bring along in all of my future Towns/Islands, just because he was such a great Villager in Population Growing. Don’t care if he is in the lowest Tier. He is way too nostalgic for me. Don’t know if he ends up as a Dreamie, but it could happen.

 

[coffee biscuit]

Raymond, not only did he take a while to get and is my favorite villager design-wise, but he's always hanging out wherever I am unlike my other villagers that are always scattered throughout my map. He tends to follow me around and he likes to sit nearby when I'm terraforming and watch me hehe

It'd probably feel super lonely if he wasn't there, sometimes I go days without seeing some of my other villagers so it's really nice that I see him pretty much all the time.

 

[FelixFraldarius]

Marshal. I've been a Marshal stan since I saw him in NL, and I love him so much it hurts. For me, NL was complete the moment I found him. I adore him so much and will always send him things and talk to him whenever I see him. There will never be anyone above him.​

 

[Dae]

Del! When I had him in City Folk, I didn't really care for him but grew a soft spot for him over time, then in New Leaf he was my best friend. Now he was the first amiibo I scanned into New Horizons!

 

[Cheallaigh]

cyd... my hubby keeps threatening to steal him. static for his singing, and cyd for that too, they're like cool rockin grandpas. zucker cause he's the brainless little bro and now sterling just got him last night, bye bye tank(i like him but "there can only be one" jock, and i'm sure sterling has a sword hidden somewhere). hmmm and hornsby is just sweet and brainless... it's going to be a hard choice when i need to get around to balancing my village between which of the two lazys i'm going to keep.
