You can do it! look on the bright side, Margie is very close with fewer and fewer normals remaining! And don't worry about Merengue, you can always find her island hoping!

Thanks! Coming up on around 60 campers now, no luck yet. RNG is not on my side haha

 

[Paperboy012305]

Alright 3 things:

1: I restarted my town as the way the Resident Services' location gave me limitations on decorating my island.

2: I found Audie as a random move in, while also being one of my starter villagers. (Funnily enough, I called her while trying to guess who my random villagers would be.) While I am not a fan of Audie, I'd love to sell her for NMTs.

3: I found Roald as a last resort in a mystery island because the recent plot of land just would not roll in a random villager for 3 days. So I was like: "I'll force a villager in". And when I did it was Roald! Now per say Im okay with Roald, he might not be a villager that'll grow on me but who knows.

 

[BubbleBlowinDoubleBaby]

I did it! After almost 70 campsite resets I found Margie!! It's finally over!!

 

[Dinashadow]

I burned through all my saved up tickets looking for villagers today. I had a list of about 20 villages I was hoping for and no luck.

I had three villagers show up twice which was definitely the most frustrating part. I was there was a cooldown so that if a villager spawns on a mystery island they can't spawn again that day.

 

[yeolgi]

I was looking for a female villager to balance out the gender ratio on my island, and this is who I found:

1. Vic
2. Deena
3. Tank
4. Rowan
5. Julian
6. Chief
7. Drago
8. Jitters
9. Antonio
10. Rocc
11. Beau
12. Skye
13. Tybalt
14. Anchovy
15. Whitney
16. Stinky
17. Elvis
18. Soleil
19. Gloria
20. Beau
21. Ricky
22. Flip
23. Jeremiah
24. Dobie
25. Limberg
26. Harry
27. Angus
28. Merengue
29. Pierce
30. Becky
31. Marshal

The bolded ones are the ones I really wish I'd invited home.

I actually took a short break around the 10th trip or so and went to visit my friend's island, and Skye was a visitor at her campsite! Gushed over how adorable she was, then left to continue my search. A ticket or two later I met her! However at that time I was only about 12 tickets in, and wanted to grind more islands for fun. So I left her, and I really regret it!

Many trips later, I found a lil' sulky marshmallow squirrel. And I didn't have a smug villager at the moment, so Marshal it was.

Was it fun? Yes.

Would I do it again? Yes, but probably not in the next 2 weeks or so. It gets tiring and repetitive after a while.

 

[Kyneria]

I decided to try to get Judy for a friend through the campsite method! Also trying if possible to get Fang too ^^

Start -> Whitney asks to leave as I prepare myself for the method, so thank you kind white wolf lady. Because I want to do this as quick as possible so I get her before she does, villagers will be most of them voided, I'm sorry my friends. Future me: I got to gift one though!

And she chose Maple so I'm gifting two friends now! hahahahahaha

 

[Paperboy012305]

I found Diana while doing the campsite thing. I don't want her as i'm looking for Cashmere. I'll try my luck on moving out Stu and move Diana out so I can sell her.

Edit: Turns out it was Norma that was leaving. So i'll let her leave.​

 

[Strela]

Thanks so much for posting this method and the tips people gave in it. I finally found him . This was my journey.

1 oct Raymond

 

[thegunpowderincident]

I found Raymond today while island hopping (I think I was like 70 or 80 tickets in). I don't really want him, but I invited him to move to my island anyway so I could sell him. The villager I was actually looking for was Bunnie lol, or my alternative choices would've been Audie or Ankha.

 

[moon_child]

I’ve had my share of island hopping and I’m also watching a lot of villager hunting videos on YouTube lately and I just thought, could it be possible that the game is pushing villagers from the bottom of the barrel to us? Because I realized it wasn’t just me who kept getting the “losers” but almost everyone with a few popular dreamies thrown in between...

 

[Paperboy012305]

And right after Diana, Raymond showed up. And best of all, I was expecting him as well.

I'll keep trying until he moves someone out I want.

Edit: Firstly, Raymond chose Murphy. I don't want Murphy out, so I closed the game out and he chose Roald. I'm not much of a fan of Roald, so i'm quite pleased he chose him. Another dreamie down.​

[Blueskyy]

Today’s was something like this:

Del
Benjamin
Jambette
A few I don’t remember
Merengue
Jeremiah
Frobert

I adopted Frobert because my cousin asked me just yesterday if I could scan his amiibo in since his favorite from New Leaf is Frobert. So Frobert will live with me until my cousin can get him.

 

[Chris]

Lopez was adopted yesterday so I get to island hop today! I've not done this in over a month.

Ideally I'd love to find Raddle, but I doubt that'll happen before I find someone else cute!

 

[Ras]

AUDIE! AUDIE! AUDIE! I'm having the worst day of my life, so this little thing helped.
