Villager Hunting General Thread

[Romaki]

Hopping again. Decided to replace Bunnie with Audie, though no peppy villager is really it for me. Other targetes are Raymond, Genji, Fang and Cherry. I just realized that I already have half of my permie dreamies which is nice. But it also makes island hopping more of a gamble.

89 tickets later... I almost left the island without inviting him in, that'd be tragic.

 

[jiny]

i decided to go island hopping again and the first island i go on, BEAU is here but i told myself i wouldnt take him because hes been on almost every single one of my towns in NL, and on my last island before i reset but now that i see him i dont know if i want to take him or leave him ;; my mind was set on a peppy villager or zucker ;; i dont think i will be taking him tbh, i want something new and i want my island to have villagers ive never had before or havent had in a long time BUT I FEEL SO BAD

 

[Lavochain]

Just found Apple whilst island hopping, I had never considered her before but she is so adorable in person! Looking forward to getting to know her in a few days. I managed to get Raymond from my campsite yesterday and he is cute, but his interior is so boring.

 

[Plainbluetees]

This was a while ago, but when I went island hopping for Static, he was on the second island I went to. AND IT WAS A MONEY ROCK ISLAND! I think I cried xD

 

[WaileaNoRei]

Still very unsure if I am happy about my decision on island hopping this time - went island hopping Saturday and ended up inviting Deena. I’ve never had a Duck villager and have been wanting one.

Spoiler: The full list

1. Greta - I have no idea who I am hoping to find, so I considered inviting her. She’s weird but I might kind of like her.
2. Knox - ugh
3. Sandy
4. Lobo
5. Sly
6. Drake - seriously considered him because I have never had a duck villager and they are cute. Also, somehow he has like one of my favorite houses.
7. Rory - another one I considered. He’s kind of weird cute, but I like his theme and the lions all look pretty cuddly. I may regret leaving him behind.
8. Octavian
9. Pekoe - surprisingly cute
10. Pecan
11. Grizzly - I love him, but I already have (and love) Ike.
12. Leonardo
13. Yuka
14. Phoebe
15. Knox, ugh, again!
16. Pinky - pretty cute I might already regret not giving her a chance...and also for missing out on her house.
17. Tad
18. O’Hare - sad cause I just let him go from my second island. But I am going to get him back on there someday!
19. Mathilda
20. Rooney
21. Deena - she weird and cute! I’m going a invite her. But also her interior is boring and I am going to ruin it.

I think I probably should have invited Pinky, but was not in the mood to have a third peppy in the moment. For some reason I feel like pinky looks like she should be a normal so I find her peppy jarring.

Hoping I will grow to love Deena, despite my present misgivings! I know there is no need for the decision to be a big deal and am trying tobe more relaxed about it, but it makes me anxious when I feel instant regrets.

 

[Tutle]

After 38 tickets, I got a villager that iv'e been wanting for a while. I thought Stella was just too cute to pass up on because of her closed eyes and smile! I love sheeps as well and i'm very happy I decided to recruit her to my island! So far she's been so friendly and thoughtful by watering my flowers! ❤❤

so after all that worry, two days later shep came to my island. I have always kind of disliked him, but seeing him in person I thought ‘he’s kind of cute, actually’ and since I have not had a smug in a while and am finding I just don’t like many of them (except graham who is on probably temporary holiday on my husband’s island) I thought I would give him a try. But despite my best intentions I couldn’t bear to let anyone go for shep...except Deena, my 3rd normal and the villager I was (naturally) the least attached to. Oh well! I will have to give her a chance again in the future. Maybe.

Spoiler: Looking for

Anabelle
Bianca
Bluebear
Felicity
Maddie
Piper
Ruby
Tangy
Tutu
Twiggy
Winnie
Colton
Julian
Lopez
Shep
Zell
Hornsby
Lucky

My peppy villager ( Nibbles) just moved out so I was hoping to get another peppy or a smug, as to not get a duplicate type.
Here's who I found :
-Punchy ( Cute! But a lazy )
- Alli ( Like her, but I have 2 snootys already)
-Bree
-Alice
-Beau ( Love him, but wrong personality :') )
-Billy ( Like the design, wrong type )
-Peewee ( Tbh forgot he existed)
-Biff
-Blanche ( LOVE!)
-Del ( Kinda weird, but cool)
-Punchy ( Again)
-Graham
-Knox
-Deena
-Bennedict
-Angus
-Olaf
- Hornsby!

I had to take Hornsby even though he's lazy, bc I love him so much. I think I will use my Flora card to kick out my other lazy villager.....

 

[Tutle]

"Anotha Run"
Stella just moved out and I was just looking for either of the 3 dreamies that I'm after. (Goal: Poppy, Weber, or Cyd)

Here's the results:


Patty
Cally- She’s cute but I want POPPY!
Nana
Lionel
Dobie- Luv this guy but he’s a prev. resident
Fang- Meh, ok looking wolf but nah
Becky
Leopold
Broccolo
Nana again..
Alfonso
Bud
Marshall- My 5th time running into him in a NMT run, I just don’t want him lol
Leonardo
Hugh- Cool looking lazy
Aurora- Little sis
Roald- Big bro
Maple (Picked her up and going to see if I like her, would’ve much preferred if it was Poppy)

 

[Che5hire Cat]

Either my game is broken or the RNG is just trolling me. This the third day today where I'm doing villager hunting after I decided to cycle out some villagers in hope to find my dreamies, spent so far almost 200 NMT. It feels like as if I get all the time the same 10 villagers over and over again. Villagers like Bob, Erik, Pierce and Whitney, who I normally see rarely or never when I'm doing villager hunting, showed up at least 3 times. And I can't count how many times Marina along with Norma or any other cow/chicken/frog/gorilla villager appeared, sometimes even twice in a row. Today, I was looking for Rolf and who did I found instead? Raymond. I decided to pick him up at the end, because my Switch was about to go into sleep mode, have to charge it now. Can this game please show me some other villagers for a bit of variety? Seeing the same faces every single time starts to bother me a lot. Or just give me Rolf already....

 

[Stalfos]

I finally moved out Norma thanks to some tips from some nice folks here on TBT so now it's time to do some island hopping.

I'm primarily looking for Gaston (as always) but I'd take Moose, Agnes and maybe Vivian as well. So far I've found Lionel, Eugene, Bud, Gala, Benedict and Marcie. Have about 50 tickets left.

 

[jiny]

i went island hopping for diana, ended up buying her for 60 nmt on nookazon bc i got so tired i have no idea how much nmt i spent so spending 60 nmt for her didnt seem so bad. here are some notable finds (atleast, for me) that i found while island hopping

Spoiler: : P

i saw merengue like 2 or 3 times, and i saw dobie 3 times ;-; i was so tempted to take dobie but i already have fang, who is also a cranky wolf D:

 

[Stalfos]

Oh man am I happy right now! I found Gaston just minutes ago. It took me a total of 62 tickets which isn't too bad (Beardo took 80 tickets and Savannah 128).

Got all my dreamies together for the new year! Yay!

For a long time I had only 9 villagers on my island and did not buy the last plot of land. I decided to buy the plot and do an island hopping adventure for Christmas for something fun to do that day. Primarily I was looking for Flo or Henry or just someone I really clicked with. It did not go according to plan. I spent 73 tickets and ran in to the following villagers:

Despite running in to some good villagers I did not find anyone I was looking for, so I had planned to continue villager hunting the next day. However I failed to close out of my game properly when altering the time on my switch so the next day, Isabelle announced the terrible news that Chevre was joining our island. EW!
I immediately got to work finding a camper to replace her. I ran in to Fang, Apollo, and Hazel through the campsite before Tank was there. Tank was good enough for me so I got him to kick out Chevre and so in the end I have Tank on my island. That's how I've spent my last 3 days.

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

Island hopping since Kid Cat moved out. I invited Gladys on the 34th ticket after two instances of repeat villagers and RNG just seeming to favour normal villagers today, despite the fact that I already have two. Too tired from the workweek to continue.
