Villager Hunting General Thread

[WaileaNoRei]

Went island hopping last friday, but have been feeling unsure of the results. But figured I would share anyway. I had really bad rng luck! Not that the villagers were bad, but I saw a LOT of repeats

Saw twice: Elvis, Phoebe, Velma, Canberra, Weber, Norma, Roald, Anchovy, Sherb, Claudia

saw 3 times : Al, Agent S

saw 4 times : Julia

I was specifically not looking for a cranky (I don’t think I like the personality enough to have two of them) - hoping to find a snooty or maybe a smug (Graham moves to my second island, which I decided to turn into a hamster island - I know miss him a lot and may have to end up moving him back...)

villagers I considered - Weber, Anchovy, Miranda, Daisy, Lucy, Walker. Coco, Barold, Soleil, Pietro, quillson
Other highlights - Cyd, Rocco, spike, Gladys, Maelle

possible regrets - walker, Daisy, Lucy, Pietro

I ended up finding Bones on island 106, a personal record. He was added to my ever changing short list of villagers I was looking for after doing a write up for him for the villager rank down I’ve been participating in here. Hema very cute! But I had instant doubt for some reason, maybe because I feel like totally to my surprise I might prefer Walker. I previously really disliked walker cause I thought his face design was odd, especially his eyes. Still not sure about the solid blue old times Mickey eyes, but he was so so cute!

Still, we will see how it goes with ones! He may not end up being an all time favorite or living on my island long term, but he is a cutie, he’s my first dog villager, and he is already having fun

Will probably update later with pics, I can’t get to my computer at the moment.

full list below, for anyone interested

Spoiler: The full list

1. Paula (/Rachel) I really like her actually. She looks better in person than in photos.
2. Caroline - cutie
3. Julia - sister fruit
4. Phoebe
5. Piper - cute - so many birds today
6. Merengue the impaler
7. Olaf - Money rock island. He’s cuter than expected.
8. Fang - pass
9. Frank - one or the more interesting eagles probably. But no
10. Phoebe - sister fruit island
11. Diva - money rock island
12. Octavian
13. Vladimir
14. Velma
15. Murphy
16. Camofrog
17. Sterling
18. Elvis - I feel like I am getting so many crankies. They are my least favorite personality and I don’t think I can handle two of them...
19. Biff - ily but you already live on Pi Ikea
20. Gladys - actually really like her, and she is one of the few amiibo cards I have. But I think I am going to keep going for now. I do have her amiibo after all.
21. Canberra
22. Weber - he’s so cute!! He is the first one I feel a twinge about leaving. Hope I don’t regret leaving him. This is often how animals get added to my ‘searching for list’
23. Coco! Love her, but no for today. 3 bunnies and three normals is a lot.
24. Cyd - omg, did he get cuter? Maybe it his rain gear. He sorely tempted me and my ‘only one cranky’ rule. In general the elephants have grown on me.
25. Mathilda
26. Anchovy. Very cute. Looks a lot like Weber
27. Soleil - love (long story)
28. Pierce
29. Maelle - cute. Considered her

35. Peaches
36. Weber
37. Agent S
38. Al
39. Roald - so cute
40. Spike - cutie
41. Deli

43. Cobb - scorpion island
44. Harry
45. Kitt
46. Marshal
47. Norma - cute
48. Hornsby! cute
49. Sprocket
50. Norma
51. Cyrano - he’s cool!
52. Velma
53. Aurora - I don’t like the winter furniture houses...but she is so so cute.
54. Lopez - I love him. He just moved away from my other island, was so tempted to invite him again.
55. Rocco - such good crankies, why are the rng gods doing this to me?
56. Kody
57. Roald
58. Chèvre
59. Barold!! He is weirdly weirdly cute and will definitely move to pi ikea someday (I don’t know why, but it will be perfect)
60. Cranston
61. Walker - cuter than I thought he would be, I don’t know what it is! This was actually the hardest decision so far
62. Del
63. Daisy - also very cute. Maybe I do like the dog villagers.
64. Antonio. Love him, he’s on the other island right now
65. Sherb
66. Becky
67. Miranda - may regret leaving her

84. Alli
85. Tank
86. Rooney
87. Julian
88. Julia again
89. Cyrano
90. Canberra.

Too bad of luck (so many repeats), time traveling backwards and going to bed now.

91. Pietro. I think he’s pretty cute! But at this point I am stubbornly committed to finding someone on my short list
92. Julia. Seriously, no
93. Tad . Oh, he’s cute.
94. Avery.
95. Rowan. He’s okay
96. Boyd
97. Apollo. Ugh
98. Lucy! She’s so cute. I really should not get a second lazy pig though. But she is like the flurry of pigs w/o the weird blue details. And I love flurry...
99. Agent S booo
100. Broffina (her name in Japanese is Cassandra, such a better name!) pretty cute. Wish she didn’t have that lipstick
101. Claudia
102. Claudia! Haha, literally back to back.
103. Anchovy
104. Gaston. Cute
105. Celia
106. Bones

[visibleghost]

the biggest reason i'm not letting anybody move atm is because i don't want to go through the hassle of finding someone equally as good of a wanted personality on a mystery island. adopting villagers is fine but it's also an annoying process imo ahhhhh

 

[Mr_Persona]

I think this thread should be pinned

 

[eseamir]

I basically rushed through the beginning of the game because I was so anxious to get started so I basically invited the first three villagers I ran across (low key regret that now but it is what it is), I just recently had my first villager move out and decided that I wanted to go island hopping to find their replacement! it took me about 22 tickets to find beau, who was on my list of dreamies and I couldn't be happier!! not I've just got to kick the rest of my unwanted villagers so I can get the rest of the ones I want (that makes me feel so mean haha)

 

[niko@kamogawa]

I finally graduated to island hopping! In the end, I got all my dream villagers from buying their Amiibo cards and doing player trades here in this forum. I spent over 500 tickets. For me, it's not worth the time and energy unless if you're open to inviting anyone.

 

[princess.looking.for.frog]

honestly from the top, I feel like one lucky duck. I had over 50 nmt ready to go find a few villagers before I decided to go to an ostrich town. I was mostly wanting a valuable villager to sell eventually, so I went hopping.

Day 1
1. Elvis
2. MERENGUE! so now she is on my island, I was super hyped bc my best acnh friend wants her soo bad and now I’m prepping merengue for her!
yep luck I think

Another day- this time I went looking for any ostrich villager that I was missing, Queenie, Flora, Sprocket or Sandy. I had 110 nmts ready.
1. Tasha
2. SANDY! ok second time is the charm XD

So yeah, I have spent 4 tickets on villager hunting and have gotten a half success rate! Also, the other villagers were cool no joke but I didn’t really want them haha.

I feel sooo lucky I still can’t believe it!

 

[Korichi]

[Khaelis]

Gwen officially moved out yesterday, and I decided to use up some NMTs I bought from another user to potentially find a villager I wanted to invite to my island for a while... and I finally stumbled upon Moe. Used about 40 tickets.

I actually came across Lobo four times, and I really wanted to invite him, but... I already have two Cranky villagers and I don't really want three of the same personality.

 

[shiniki]

When I was starting my secondary island, I resolved not to have any repeats. On my very first Mystery Tour I found Audie, who I already have in my primary island. Well, now I have two Audies. She's my favorite of the new villagers.

 

[Tutle]

I went NMT hunting and here's my result. It was luckily very short and I found who I was looking for!!! ^_^

1. Anabelle (anteater)
2. PUDGE (Lazy cub)

I am SO happy to add this cutie pie cub to my island! I love his cute design and his house looks cute! Really glad I found him in 2 NMT. ❤❤❤

 

[sunnibunniva]

first time island hopping for villagers!

shep
ketchup - love her but I don't want 2 peppy or 2 ducks
qwen
goldie - adorable, but I already have 2 permanent normals
CHIEF - INVITED!

I'm trying to theme each area of my island in a way that really suits the villagers in them (rather than a super personalized but tiny yard) and his house is perfect for the more urban area I'm planning!

 

[mohn]

I'm not one to grind for dreamies, but every time someone moves out I like to island hop a little to see who I can get.

So, Zucker moved out recently and I was in the market for a new lazy or a smug, since I was still missing one after Shep had moved out. Though to be fair, I'm not the biggest fair of the dialogue lazies have in NH, since they can not shut up about bugs, it seems, lol

Anyway, I did like 15 islands yesterday. I almost took Beau, who was my on my first island, but I wanted to do some more hopping, so I moved on. I also passed on Gayle, who's adorable but I already have... three normals, I think. And I saw Zucker. Again.

Today I booted up the game to do a few more islands, and who do I get on my first one? Raymond, lmao. As I've said, I don't really have "dreamies", but even I have to admit he has a very nice design, and I do like the cat villagers, so I took him home.

I feel like I've found a shiny Pokemon.

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

Agnes moved out, so I went island hopping for some winter-themed villagers -- Bianca, Erik, Filbert, Flo, Sherb, Skye, Tasha, and Walker -- or Kid Cat (my S/O's last dream villager). He joked about me finding Kid Cat with my RNG luck, as opposed to someone I was looking for, and to top off the meme, I found Kid Cat on ticket no. 69.
