Villager Hunting General Thread

[Seelie]

Welp, Rosie pinged to leave after some TTing for Redd, so I let her go and went villager hunting and about 6 hours later, I'm back to never wanting to hunt again.

I went to a total of 136 islands and saw...2 cats. Total. The first one, at island 70, was Merry the peppy cat, who I left behind because I have Tangy and Felicity as my peppies. The second one, at island 136, was Kiki the normal cat. I have Kiki already on Muir Wood, but I've been thinking about mixing up the villagers again anyway, so I took her to Inverness and will be cycling in Poppy and Pecan to replace her and Purrl on Muir Wood.

Some stats for fun and despair:

The species that wouldn't stop showing up:

• 6 bulls and 5 cows
• 8 chickens
• 7 frogs
• 7 gorillas
• 6 penguins
• 6 rhinos
• 6 tigers and 3 lions

The species I barely saw:

• 2 cats. I swear RNG knows.
• 1 elephant
• 1 wolf

Of my villagers, Bob is still in his starter house, so I need to move him out still and was hoping to either get him back or find Punchy, but at honestly I don't know if I have the strength to do this again -- I might have to just amiibo it.

i'm going to go island hopping tomorrow for my kidcore island, not sure if i'm looking forward to it or low key dreading it. i have less than 200 nmts left and i want them to last for a few more villager hunts so i'll have to be quick. i can't get anyone online either because i don't have nintendo online on that switch so it's a bit..... yeah ..

I've been back on the island hopping today as Chèvre requested to leave and I let her go as I have her photo and Nan has already moved on. Once again I'm looking for Molly but will take some others (mainly Portia, Bea, Lolly, Rosie, Wolfgang, Freya, Kyle, Vivian, Mint, Blaire, Bluebear or Cheri) if I'm tired of searching or near the end of my NMTs.

1. Eloise - cute but not right for today
2. Axel - another elephant I like but no
3. Ellie - seems to be a theme here and she's actually my favourite elephant but nope
4. Amelia - another no
5. Lucky - not a massive fan, I think its the bright yellow eye
6. Ellie - again?
7. Gayle - like the pattern but nope
8. Paolo - why am I been overrun with elephants?
9. Beau - love him but had him before
10. Tabby - another one I'm not looking for
11. Blaire - tempting but its too early in the search
12. Angus - nope, not today
13. Bertha - nope, she's previously moved herself onto my island
14. Sterling - not on the list
15. Drift - another nope
16. Fang - like him so its tempting but nope
17. Pashmina - another one not on the list
18. Deena - right species, wrong character
19. Louie - nope
20. Caroline - I like her, maybe another day
21. Astrid - probably one of my favourite kangaroos but no
22. Elvis - he's alright but nope
23. Kevin - one of my top pig villagers but no who I'm looking for
24. Peewee - nope, not a fan of any gorillas really
25. Rooney - actually had him before when he moved himself to my island
26. Monty - not on the list
27. Mira - I like rabbits but not a massive fan of her, don't really like the uchi personality
28. Cashmere - another nope
29. Alfonso - not who I'm looking for
30. Bangle - nice tiger but had her before
31. Bam - one of the better jocks but not on the list
32. Puddles - like the colour, another no though
33. Bitty - not on the list
34. Clyde - not really a fan off his colour scheme
35. Leonardo - like his pattern but nope
36. Curlos - not who I've been looking for
37. MOLLY!!! I've completely lost count of how many NMTs I've used since this game first came out looking for Molly and this the first time I've come across her, can't believe I've finally found her! Molly is the newest addition to my island and most likely she'll be a permanent resident

Starting with 26 tickets

1. Del- I like Del but will pass -money rock island

6. Butch I like him but looking for penguins
7. Carrie not a fan of the kangaroos

15. I found a penguin Cube is now moving to Serenity

 

[Sharksheep]

Did a little island hunting to try to find Reneigh but I decided to take Keaton so I would be able to complete my eagle photo collection. I'm just missing Avery now

 

[Shinjukuwu]

I went island hopping a few days ago, I didn't have any particular villager in mind but I didn't have a peppy or lazy villager on my island so I guess one of those would have been good! 🏝

I ended up choosing Bubbles the peppy hippo who was my 9th ticket, and then yesterday I got Elmer the lazy horse from my campsite

 

[Rowbowkid800]

I’m really hating this game rn I’ve wanted two people to move out and I did it the right way to get them to move out for 1 1/2 MONTHS I am very annoyed someone wish me luck to get them out please

 

[moonlights]

Cole's in my campsite today - he's the first villager I've had in a long time, so I tried inviting him and he said no twice. I'm not crazy over him so I'm gonna leave it, hopefully a villager will ask to move soon because I'd really like to have some fresh villagers on my island!

yeah, i know :3

 

[Flicky]

Marina is in my campsite today! I've never had an octopus in any of my villages before, so I think I'll see if she wants to move in.

Edit: Wow, this could be the first time I've actually had a villager move in so quickly! Marina chose one of the 3 villagers I was hoping she would right away.

 

[Seelie]

I reset Inverness yesterday! So today was villager hunting for my starter normal, lazy, and peppy. Since they'll have those awful starter homes, I gave myself 30 tickets to just find some cute villagers I wouldn't mind keeping around, but not necessarily keeping to a theme.

The only other criteria is that I didn't want villagers I already have photos of.

Well --

1. Alfonso
2. Sydney -- I thought really hard about taking her, honestly; she's super cute
3. Marcie
4. Vesta -- have her photo, but love her!
5. Zucker
6. Vesta again :')
7. Freckles
8. Biskit -- have his photo, but also he's adorable
9. Ozzie
10. Rhonda
11. Erik -- also have his photo, but almost broke and took him anyway
12. Gladys -- brought her home!
13. Stu
14. Patty
15. Zucker again
16. Benedict
17. Deli
18. ...and Deli again??? Sir, please don't follow me, it's weird.
19. Pango
20. Hugh
21. Zucker for a third time :')
22. Flora -- invited!
23. Cranston -- also invited!

I couldn't pass up having a little squad of ostriches for a while. And I actually do think they're all very cute! Happy to have 'em around until I get their photos.

 

[bestfriendsally]

i just found marina :3 i really like her, but i would've prefered sally the squirrel... but i have her amibo so i guess i can get her anytime after i get the campsite :3

As I've now received photos from Cookie, Erik and Murphy (my 3 non permanent villagers) I have been TT'ing to get one of them to move so I can go island hopping and pick up another villager from my list (and also to try and make my one lonely purple rose breed with itself as I accidentally got rid of the rest of them).
After quite a bit of TT'ing Erik finally requested to leave so now I'm back on the hunt, looking in particular for any of: Portia, Bea, Lolly, Rosie, Wolfgang, Vivian, Freya, Kyle, Mint, Caroline, Blaire, Peanut, Olive, Bluebear or Cheri.

1. Maddie - she's quite sweet but I prefer Portia and Bea
2. Wart Jr
3. Rudy - one of my favourite jocks but not on the list
4. Kody
5. Phoebe - pretty design but nope
6. Gala - always felt bad for her unfortunate name choice, poor pig
7. Egbert
8. Sylvana
9. Drago
10. Kid Cat
11. Sylvia - like the purple colouring but think her hair colour just doesn't suit her
12. Dobie - good villager but not a wolf I'm looking for
13. Purrl
14. Buck
15. Cleo - prefer her to Buck but not looking for a horse
16. Big Top
17. Chief - another good villager but still the wrong wolf
18. Quillson
19. Maggie
20. Snooty
21. Chrissy - quite like her but have a peppy rabbit on the island already
22. Annalise
23. Keaton
24. Zell
25. Lily - if I was looking for a frog I'd take her
26. Mathilda - one of my top kangaroos but nope
27. Puck - love his pink colour
28. Fang - really? I like him but why couldn't this be one of the 4 wolves I was looking for
29. Jay
30. Blaire - yes! a villager from the list and the newest member of my island

I hate it when you get a villager multiple times when there are still 350 you haven’t gotten yet

 

[bestfriendsally]

okay... today, it was:

hunt 1:

island 1: marina the octopus: i took her :3

island 2: prince the frog: i left

island 3: bubbles the hippo: i took her :3 *i imagine that she's biff's younger sister :3 *

island 4: Jakey/jacob the bird *depending which version you have... i have pal, so it's jakey :3* i took him :3

 

[JemAC]

I really hate this too, island hopping is time consuming enough so going over all Orvilles dialogue again just to see the same villager is such a pain and a compete waste of an NMT
