Happy🎃Halloween!
Oop- shrunk found dead in a ditch
but fr i wonder what his role will be now? in this ted talk i will-
but fr x2 if we look at resetti, he used to be in charge of reset punishments, now he flies a rescue helicopter. shrunk was a retired comedian that ran a nightclub, so maybe he'll just continue with the nightclub owner role? anythings possible tbh, but im betting hes gonna run the new and improved club LOL or something. villagers stole ur job my dude

This.
Oh yeah, Reese and Cyrus, Phineas, Harriet, Shrunk. 
I didn't realize it was so many.
Pelly and Phyllis?
Pete?
Replacing the charming/quaint services like Shampoodle and the Post Office is doing a great disservice, because not everyone is ready to let them go.
I was really hoping for a mainland shopping center akin to Main Street.

Joan, nate and chip are all replaced too.
Honestly it makes me kinda sad that they are cutting so many npcs. Or maybe not but I can't see them giving everyone a new role.
I think I'll miss Reese and Cyrus the most but I still hope they may reappear when we upgrade the nookling store enough
I'd miss Joan too.
I like Chip but when he eats the fish it makes me cringe. It's disgusting. I hope CJ doesn't do it.

H e doesn't, he wants the fish to photograph for his blog. Lil hipster CJ.
Makes me wonder if they maybe cut nate and chip because they eat the insects/fish we give them

So kinda like HHD emotions got taught by the villagers not shrunk

I know not a lot of NPCs appear again or in the same role in every game, but it does worry me about who got cut or how diminished their role is. For example, Harriet’s role being kind of useless now so I wonder what she’d do if she came back. That said, I didn’t like shrunk and I don’t think I’d miss him. I actually totally forgot about him when the topic of NPCs being cut came up after the Direct. Learning emotes from villagers is way cuter and makes the bond more special :’)
I honestly prefer to learn emotes from villagers. As much as I liked Shrunk, I still thought the club would become useless after you got all emotions (I would then only go on Saturdays to see my boy KK). I plan on saving videos on my switch or pictures to remember when the villagers got me those emotes and maybe there will be some you can get from different personality types. As someone who isn't fond of jocks, it'll finally make me actually appreciate them!
Oh I wasn't a fan of Shrunk to be honest. I am okay if he is cut from the fame. I hope the emotions are not so hard to get as PWPs xD But I think you will get them in normal conversations ^^ Means villagers will use a lot of emotions!

i like this change, makes talking to your villagers more rewarding. i never really liked shrunk so i'm not sad about him being gone in this game.
that being said, i wonder about how many emotions/reactions you will be able to know at once. will there be favourites that you can access through that wheel we have seen? (i'm pretty sure we have seen that, at least? can't be bothered to look it up but yeah)

His jokes were always intentionally terrible but I loved his little jingle at the end and how silly he was. I hope he?s still in the game sometimes!

I think it's a nice idea! I mean we've all come to the point of not bothering to talk to villagers because you've used up all their unique lines for the hour/day or simply become too familiar with the personality type. Adding additional types of interaction with you, especially unique one-time ones like learning an emotion for the first time, gives more variation and life to that interactive aspect, which I'm never going to turn down.
It's always sad to see something not carry forward in a sequel, but Dr Shrunk's role pretty much always became obsolete at some point given there was only a certain number of emotions to learn. I'll notice his absence but I think the change adds more than it takes away personally.
