The Rodney Appreciation Thread

Hamsters are my favourite. I would have an all-hamster island if they had all the villager types. If they brought in a sisterly hamster, all my current non-hamster villagers (so all except Flurry) would be replaced for hamsters. At the moment this would include Rodney, because there's less than 10 hamsters altogether anyway.

I had him in NL and admittedly didn't like him or his house interior. But...I did appreciate his adorable friendship with Flurry! They were always together or hanging out at each other's houses and it was so cute haha. So I did end up a little sad when he left and can look back and appreciate him now, even if I wouldn't bring him to my island anytime soon.

Only a hamster of good taste can appreciate the finest fake diamonds in the world.
 
Rodney is without a doubt my all time favorite villager.

In ACNL, he was a villager who surprised me everytime I took the time out of my day to talk to him. Whether it'd be his jokes or over exaggerated stories, he always had something new and interesting to say that made me more and more interested in him. He was certainly a highlight in my New Leaf playthrough.

When doing a new playthrough of New Horizon, I've always tried my best to get Rodney. But unfortunately I've started losing interest on the game due to lack of time playing the game as a whole, which resulted in my quest for Rodney to ultimately end. However, by the likely chance I end up coming back to the game, I'll definitely try again on my quest for Rodney.
 
Ngl I used to dislike him in new leaf, but now when I look at him? ADORABLE
He does have a weird/dorky look to him but that's exactly why he's so stinkin cute : ')

Hey there, welcome to the thread! 🤗❤ If you need a reason to stay motivated in ACNH, I can always move Rodney out, give him to you, and scan him again :) Let me know if that’s an option for you! I’m happy to see another player who values Rodney as much as he should be!
 
I think Rodney is cute! Never had him on my island but he came to my campsite once and I liked him.
 
I always thought Rodney looked like a kid in grade school that would never shut up about Minecraft. Or maybe Bling Bling from Johnny Test.

But I've grown to like him BECAUSE of that. It's charming to see how he's smug as well. I like his smugness despite his (imo) childish appearance. I like Rodney. He's cute and definitely not the worst villager. Show off your Rodneys with pride

He appeared in my new leaf town and he competes with Beardo. Henry is pretty great too.
I met Beardo as my forced move in, on my first playthrough of new horizons and he grew on me. I kinda wonder if I had Rodney first, if he would be my favorite smug instead of Beardo.
Hamster villagers are pretty great all around anyway.
