There are 2 random villagers that have chosen to take the Getaway Package with you

That's cool but I wonder how long it will be until other villagers move in. Starting out with just two villagers is probably going to feel a bit weird and empty at first but perhaps you will get used to it.

I hope setting down villager houses won't be the first first thing we have to do, I would like to be able to explore and think a little about how I will set up my town before I have to set down these two villagers who supposedly are going to be there for a while and you're going to bond strongly with.

There isn’t a direct connection between New Horizons and Pocket Camp

Rip all my money invested in leaf tickets.

But good to hear that they are planning on cross over items.
Thank the lord for letting us choose the housing of the villagers, that's a big improvement!

I'm in the same boat with PC was really hoping to transfer all the cute items I've earned.

Will anyone be resetting to get two animals they like? I think it'll be tempting!

I'm probably going to do this if it gives me animals I don't like. After all, there are a ton of villagers I like, including some I've never had before, so it shouldn't be that hard for me.

Yep, as soon as I read we'll be put on the island with two random villagers and pretty much forced to get along with them!
Like I already have a bad feeling about it, the game might read my mind and put me on a island with two villagers I don't like at all!

I like the idea of having two random villagers in your town at the start. Wild World, City Folk and New Leaf were really odd in that they all gave me roughly the same set of villagers so I hope that I get to meet some new ones or a couple I didn't like. That way I can indeed get to know them better and maybe even like them!!

I'm sure many people don't like not having their dreamies from the get go but to me the dreamies concept is kinda dull. I like having a dynamic village and making it the best it can possibly be.

I love the idea of starting at the same time as two other villagers. I'm not going to reset to get my favourites, but if I end up with two villagers I absolutely despise, I think I'll have to restart—I want one or both of them to stay with me until the end and so I'd like them to at least be villagers I'm neutral towards or somewhat like, where there's a possibility that they can become favourites later on. It's also cool that you can choose where villagers move in, but I think I'll just go with wherever they want for their first choice unless they want to be next door to each other on the opposite side of the island as me or something.

 

[MissShema]

Oh my gosh! I can't wait to see who's going to move on the island with me!

 

[Shellzilla_515]

Well, at least we're not going to be the only ones owing bells to Nook. I find it interesting that you start with two villagers instead of the usual five from previous games. I thought you start with none because of you know, you're going to a deserted island.

 

[Chouchou]

I'll probably reset a few times for a good island map and nice villagers. I'm not looking for my ultimate favorites (Kiki, Lobo etc.) but if I get a really nice map but with super ugly villagers, I will reset for at least one nice villager.

 

[pinkfawn]

I'm still on the fence about restarting for two I like. I don't think I'm going to, because I want to try and get everyone's picture in this game and give all of the animals a genuine chance. If some of my favorites move in along the way, I'll definitely try and keep them in.

I wonder if it'll be like in New Leaf where if they're planning to leave someone can come convince them to move to their island? I didn't see anything like that in the first post but I might have missed it.

 

[Snailspell]

That's so cool. I wonder if the villagers will help pay off more things than their own debt. I guess they kind of did in New Leaf, but barely.

 

[Louise_]

that is great you can tell where the villagers will put there house, and I will keep the two villagers I get, and make them be with me forever

 

[Stevey Queen]

I wonder if animal villagers can live on the beach also.

Why not?

 

[superkait]

Imagine getting your two least favorite villagers at the start, but then following through on keeping them in your town ...end up falling in love and keeping them forever.

A new IGN article has a crapload of new informations on how interactions work with villagers.

• But, they will ask you for your opinion before they plop down their house "However, Kyogoku said before they choose a spot for their home, they?ll check with you to see if it?s okay. If you don?t like where they settle down you can tell them you don?t want to build in that particular spot and move their house location to wherever you see fit"

  That makes me so happy that this isn't affected much by P2W.

I think I might try resetting the starting villagers a little bit (not too much). Just because you can only have 1 save file on a switch instead of the 3ds where I had my first town with all my mistakes and then another 2 that are super thoroughly planned out. I'd like to minimize the chance of making mistakes I actually really regret in the future lol~

Starting the game with two villagers is one thing I observed in the Nintendo video. That is because the Jock hamster Hamlet and the Uchi deer Fuchsia appeared in that video.

(This is a very good topic. But, I don’t want to add anything more; not yet. I need to look into more information on “Animal Crossing: New Horizons”.)

 

[Aubrey895]

I picked all my villagers in new leaf. In this game I?m just taking what the game gives me unless it?s Katt who has plagued every town, Bella the rat, the creepy clown or beardo I think his name is. Lol I will deal with anyone else.

That would be too cute!
