First photo would have been pierce, I worked at him day and night to finally get his photo, ah the satisfaction I got from that moment, I will never forget!
I've had so many Wild World towns that I can't remember who my villagers were. LOL. I don't even remember who gave me the first picture in my original New Leaf town. In my current town, I got Frank's picture almost immediately. I think the town was less than a month old at the time.
Mine was Chops. I went into the game thinking I'd hate him, but he gave me like 3 or 4 pictures and I couldn't help but fall in love with him. He started my adoration for smug types. ;o; <3
Since my first game was NL, Wolfgang was the first one to give me his pic (if you don't count special characters, because if you are, my first villager pic was from the Easter Bunny dude xD). It was a reward for giving him something... I think signatures.
I think it was from Teddy in Wild World. He was always my best friend, right from the start! Oh how I miss Wild World, but my data was wiped (I'll explain why if I'm asked). I'll miss you Teddy, my friend! I had his photo on my table ever since he gifted me with it, along with Limberg's.
In my old town, I don't remember. In my current town, Merengue. It surprised me since I didn't really know how close we were but I guess pretty close. She's given me 2 of her pictures, lol.
