What do you think about duplicate species on your island?

[jefflomacy]

Voted cats for sure

 

[bluecherries]

having frita and cashmere as a pair along with marshal and poppy as a pair is fine by me, as long as its a duo!

 

[Cristaaaaal]

The only duplicate animal currently allowed on my island is cats. The poll answer made me crack up so much. Ahhh the internet.

 

[Crash]

i try not to have duplicates so my island has some variety, but i always seem to end up with two cats ;-;

 

[VanitasFan26]

Honestly I really don't care as long as it's not the same personality then I'm fine with that

 

[Manah]

I didn't want any duplicates this time but I'm going to have two eagles and two koalas.

 

[The Loyal Rat]

I’ve got 3 cats, Bob, Lolly, Ankha, and 2 Rabbits with, Chrissy, and Francine. I don’t mind duplicates at all, and Chrissy needs her big sister with her to support her pop star career!

I just like getting who I think is visually the cutest regardless of being the same species, while filling out the personality to at least one of each. I think that’s what a good portion of players like to do.

I don't mind having duplicate species on my island. My island has 2 sheep and 2 wolves.

 

[azurill]

I don’t mind at all. My first island Serenity will eventually have all penguin villagers. Right now that island has 5 penguins. My second island Jurai currently has 2 ducks and 2 birds.

Depends on the species. I could have multiple cats. And, umm. Multiple... cats.

Okay, I might only be willing to do multiple cats Otherwise I prefer more variety and don't like two of the same type at the same time.

I'd prefer not to have duplicates, but if I have one and another one I like rolls into the campsite, I have no qualms with accepting them. I somehow found myself with three frogs at one point. First I had Huck as my only frog, but then Diva came to the campsite and I didn't have a sisterly at the time, so I took her in. Then Ribbot visited, and how could I say no to that? So voila, Frog Island.

(though they all left one after the other once I had their photos)

 

[Marshmallows]

It doesn't bother me at all and it's cute to have pairs. A corner of my island is dedicated to Marina and Zucker (at one time I had Octavian, too.) Right now I also have 2 bunnies, 2 deer, and 2 cubs.

My preference is to not have any duplicates, if possible, given that there's such variety of species in the game I feel like missing out if I have repeated species. However, in practice this has somehow proved to be a little difficult to execute when factoring the island aesthetics. If i'm trying to build a forest/cottage core island then i'd ideally only want animals that would naturally live in a forest or mountains on my island to have that realistic feeling. Additionally house exteriors also play a role... for example, I'd really like Blanche as my snooty because she looks cute and I don't have Ostrich on my island yet, but her house exterior doesn't fit with the rest of my residents' and would look quite out of place...Also, some species are just not my favorites (I steer away from most mouse villagers due to having bad experiences with mice/rats in real life)

The only exception i'd be willing to make ( and this has no logics or anything behind it ) is that if there are enough of a difference within the species. Example such as Erik (who is technically moose but grouped as a deer), and likes of Drago (a dragon), Julian (a unicorn), and Phoebe (a phoenix)

 

[Scrafty]

It's fine for me if they have different personalities. I swapped Chief for Walt because having two cranky wolves was a bit boring.

 

[t3llusagi]

Half my island are rabbits (Ruby,O'Hare, Genji, Francine, Hopkins) XD so I don't really mind duplicates

 

[piske]

I try not to have duplicate species, but sometimes Lily AND Wart Jr. move to your island and then it's like, how can i choose lol and then there are some species i just love overall like the bear cubs, so it's hard just choosing one! I voted for dislike having more than 1, but i don't actually dislike it, it's more of just a personal challenge to myself.

 

[Bilaz]

I have 4 cats, 2 ducks, 2 wolves and 2 deer
the cats are Ankha, Olivia, Rosie and Lolly, which are all random move ins from past animal crossing games that I loved (Olivia WW, Lolly CF and Ankha, Olivia and Rosie NL)

 

[Arckaniel]

I'm okay with it but as much as possible I like the idea of having different villagers, but that ain't gonna stop me to get multiples of the same species if I really like them lol

 

[bestfriendsally]

i have biff & bubbles on my island at the moment, with them being siblings *my headcanon*, so it's fine for me :3

 

[sushicatlikesart]

I'm fine with having multiple of the same species, as long as they have differnt personality types. I have three bear cubs: bluebear, judy, and june. I also have two rabbits, chrissy and francine but I had to get them both since I wanted them to be together (they're sisters).
