wilbur obliged to my prayers and took me to bamboo
island with a specific bear. c: all the luck must've helped,
thank you so much! <3

 

[Lethalia]

The fact that you got him on the very last ticket must've been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thrilling and gratifying and like "Thank GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[kojuuro]

Congrats on getting Stiches!! That's incredibly lucky, and it's honestly so gratifying when you can finally find who you're looking for!

I found zucker within about 5 NMTs and i didnt take him. Should i have?
I dont love him and i have 2 lazies already but i feel like selling him wouldve been good

I don't know what he's worth, but he's pretty easy to find. If the game rolls octopus, you have a 1 in 3 shot. I let him move and found him the very next NMT on an island.

i never knew the struggle of hunting for dreamies on islands until very recently. some days ago i bought a bunch of nmts, probably like.... 50 or 60 in total and all trips were completely unsuccessful. i get that having fewer dreamies makes it harder to find the specific villagers you want, but geez... most of who i ran into were ugly. i kept getting duplicates too.... ugh
admittedly i did run into sherb in my first few tickets but i still had a lot of tickets left to search for who i wanted :/ yes i regret not taking him

today i sold raymond and got a bunch of tickets. i'm on the hunt once again, i've already used probably almost half of the tickets already and needless to say, no luck. at this point i'm hunting for other peoples' dreamies to sell to maybe make my odds a little better but even their dreamies haven't shown up :/ i'm convinced i just have the worst luck ever

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Ooo. I let Sherb go yesterday. And while I don't like Raymond myself, right now I am hoping to find him and give him to a friend of mine. But I don't have many NMT left so I might have to settle for some other random villager to live on my island for a while.

congrats on finding stitches!!

 

[FireNinja1]

The long-awaited moving out thought bubble has appeared on one of my villagers. I'm going to let it bounce around until it lands on either of the two villagers I want out of my island, then it's mystery island hopping time! I have about 100 nmts saved up so this is going to be fun.

 

[dragonair]

I did campsite cycling for 3 of my villagers (Audie, Stitches, and Raymond) and am making it my only method of getting villagers now! I've recorded who I've gotten for each search here and have gone through 135 villagers so far. I got Raymond pretty quickly (since I went through a lot of villagers with Stitches probably lol) but it took SO long for him to actually agree to replace the correct villager.

How does that work? How can you change the villager that will ask to move out?

 

[Ras]

NVM, misread

The game picks a day when someone must move out. So you will see a villager with a bubble. Regardless you many times you reset, the villager will always have that bubble. But if you don't speak to him and go to next day, he will no longer have bubble, but another villager will have! ( if its no event) So you can easily cycle between who wants to move out. sometimes you are unlucky and get the same villager 4 times in a row lol, but other times it goes smoothly and cycles thru all of them.
