Nice! Don't you just love it when you find a good villager right away??
I won't commit to slogging through 1000+ NMT because I am just toooo lazy for that and also I like enough villagers where I'd be like OH IMMA JUST TAKE insert name here INSTEAD!!
I do seriously miss the hybrid islands though. ☹

Yeah! I couldn't Imagine using so many NMT! I mean, It takes a while to do one and you can't do it AFK so...

(Also love you PFP!)

Honestly I don't know how people sit through the loading screens?? I'd probably go absolutely insane and start babbling about "the DoDo the bEesS chOP the TREES!!" after going through that 1000 times! And all in like a day so my plot didn't fill?? I guess it takes a more patient person haha.

Thank you so much! That's my boy Onix.

and on my second to last ticket i took rosie in !! shes cute and her house exterior fits the springcore theme im gonna do so why not cx

I've been continuing my attempts to get Cookie to move off the island (she's proving to be as stubborn as ever) and during this time I received photos from Mint and Lolly and as they aren't permanent either I decided that I'd let them leave if they requested. After a lot of TT'ing and been tricked a number of times by Cookie having a thought bubble that always turned out to be something different, Lolly requested to leave so I'm finally back to island hopping.

Looking for: Portia, Bea, Freya, Vivian, Peanut, Caroline, Cheri, Bluebear, Olive
I have 3 slots left for permanent villagers and am planning on filling them with Wolfgang (who I haven't seen in NH at all yet) and Rosie and Marshall (both past villagers I've had who I'd quite like back) so would probably take one of these 3 if they turned up.

Ended up visiting loads of islands due to a big run of bad luck on which villagers turned up so I'll just list the good (but not perfect), bad and final villager:

Good Villagers (might consider in the future)
Kiki
Vesta
Willow
Apollo
Ozzie (he's very sweet so was tempted)
Claudia
Lily
Kyle (like him but recently had him)
Savannah
Filbert (so cute and another one I did strongly consider)
Sydney
Tad
Chief
Roald
Lobo (tempting again)
Sally
Bianca
Aurora (almost took her as I'd been island hopping for ages but decided to carry on trying)

Bad Villagers
Barold (twice - really dislike him, he doesn't suit been a cub)
Coach
Apple (there's something creepy about her, she also turned up twice)
Paolo (not sure about his eyes)
Rocket
Limberg
Naomi (another one with odd, creepy eyes)
Vic (turns up every time I go island hopping)
Chadder
Gruff (my least favourite goat, turned up twice about 4 islands apart)
Tammi (a previous random move in on my island that refused to leave for ages)

A lot of eagles, lions and pigs came up which weren't all bad but it did get very repetitive constantly seeing them, plus there were a lot of repeats throughout todays travels. Finally on ticket 118 I found a villager I'd been looking for and I'm really happy with her, she won't be permanent but I've wanted to have her on my island temporarily for a while to gain her photo

Spoiler: Newest Villager

Bluebear

 

[Bulbadragon]

Went villager hunting yesterday after I finally had an open spot. I was hoping for a snooty, because my only snooty was the one who had moved away, but I was pleasantly surprised. I only used 4 tickets - I saw Bettina, Claudia, Lolly, and then MEGAN! I couldn't pass her up.

I've also had really good luck with the campsite recently, not even by using it to look for villagers, but just randomly. I've moved in Zucker, Punchy, and Ketchup from the campsite. I also saw Pietro and would've taken him, but didn't want to let go of who he wanted to kick out.

 

[JemAC]

Still trying to move out Cookie but instead Mint has requested to leave so as she's the only other villager on the island that I have a photo from who isn't a permanent villager I agreed to the request, TT'd to get the open plot and went island hopping.

Looking for: Portia, Bea, Freya, Vivian, Peanut, Caroline, Cheri, Olive (all will be temporary villagers to get their photos)
If Wolfgang, Rosie or Marshall turn up then I'd also take them (these 3 I'm planning to have as permanent villagers)

The last island hop lasted over 100 tickets so hoping for much better luck today:

1. Walker - not my favourite dog villager but he isn't awful
2. Lionel
3. Chèvre - previously had her on my island
4. Octavian
5. Elmer
6. Shari - she was alright once in my NL town but not sure about her in NH
7. Timbra - quite like her but not who I'm looking for
8. A villager from my list, this has been a very successful island hop today

Spoiler: Newest Villager

Wolfgang! This is the first time I've found him in NH so I'm really happy, he's moving permanently over to my island now

Now it's back to finally moving out Cookie (hopefully)

cleo has almost always been one of those villagers that i didn’t dislike at all but just had no interest in. when i ran into her tonight, i was all set to leave her when i decided to turn my ass around and actually look at her and she’s,, ridiculously adorable and i’m excited to get to know her. :’)

will probably try to tt zucker and moe out over the next few days. :’)

I'd have jumped if I saw Octavian. He's been one of my favorite villagers for a long time. I haven't been able to find him as of yet, though I should have him on my island soon.

Trying to get hold of favourite villagers can be so hard at times, I feel like it can take forever for some of them to appear. Hope you manage to find Octavian soon for your island

I think you will love having her. I found her on a mystery island and now she is a permanent villager.

 

[Blueskyy]

I did this method to get Raymond and Judy. I still have Judy. It drained me. It makes me so tired to stare at the screen and go through the repeated motions to do this method, but it was worth it once I finally did it. I don't think I could do it again though. But I will say, this is the less exciting but more efficient way to get a villager that you really want. There is something way more fun about gambling with the mystery islands though. I love that they added that feature to this game. I wish there was a mini game or two on each island.

 

[Sharksheep]

Most recent island hopping I've picked up Nan after running into multiple former villagers. I was tempted to pick up Walker but Bones just left and I didn't want another lazy dog so soon. Depending on who asked to leave next will determine if I will start scanning amiibos or not.

 

[JemAC]

Today Bluebear asked to move away from the island and as she gave me her photo yesterday I agreed, would've preferred it to be Cookie as she has been on the island for ages now she's still been stubborn about leaving. TT'd to move her out and get the empty plot and then headed off island hopping.

Looking for: Portia, Bea, Freya, Vivian, Peanut, Caroline, Cheri or Olive (as temporary villagers).
Permanet Villagers: Marshall or Rosie (would rather not take a permanent villager this time though as I currently only have 2 spots I can swap villagers on and 8 permanent villagers so want to keep it that way a bit longer)

1. Gayle - one of my favourite alligators, not who I'm looking for though
2. Lionel
3. Bitty
4. Camofrog
5. Bluebear - literally only just left the island
6. Mott
7. Elmer - feel sorry for him and the bad name choice
8. Tangy - quite a sweet villager
9. Hamlet - already had him, my starter jock
10. Walt
11. Annalise
12. Pudge
13. Monty
14. Drake - another sweet looking villager, like his colour scheme
15. Gruff - nope, my least favourite goat
16. Dora - alos a cute villager and one of my favourite mice villagers
17. Stu
18. Tad
19. Lucha
20. Bertha - she's not bad but has already been a random move in twice on my island
21. Vesta
22. Moose - not a fan, his hair just looks too weird
23. Shep - like him but looking for other dog villagers
24. Zell - really tempting, like most deers and he has a nice design
25. Gonzo
26. Becky
27. Peewee - he's one of the better gorillas but don't really like the species
28. Jeremiah - not on the list but he's a good villager and underrated
29. Renee
30. Gloria
31. Chops - nope, his colouring is odd
32. Boone - definitely not, not keen on his design
33. T-Bone
34. Yuka
35. Spoiler: Newest Villager

    Bea found her once months ago but didn't take her as I was looking for Molly at the time so really pleased to find her again and welcome her to the island

 

[Moritz]

After 6 months of in game time travelling across 3 irl hours I still have no Megan. Sad days.
I feel like I've found so many of the most popular villagers, I even found my own favourite (I have them on my main island, doing this on island 2), but still no Megan.

Its 1 30AM so I give up for the night but I will find Megan tomorrow. Or the day after. Raymond took 3 ir days and in theory he was a lot easier. I know this won't be fun or easy. Hopefully worth it though.
