Teddy, Stitches, and Hornsby are the three I almost certainly want to have on my island. Based on past games, I’m also quite fond of Maple and Pudge; I’ll almost certainly include Maple, but I’m a little worried about how many lazy villagers I really want to have (they may be my favorite personality type, but I don’t want everyone repeating the same dialogue), so I may hold off on Pudge for a while and see what I think of the town. I have Amiibo cards for all five of them.
I want a definitive confirmation of how many villagers I can have before I make a final decision. I do want some new villagers as well, so I’m looking for a balance of old favorites and new ones, although there are a couple other animals from my ACNL town that I’m contemplating hunting down Amiibo cards for. Unlike a lot of other people, I have no regrets about my Amiibo card usage in ACNL, and I did feel that it enhanced my experience, so I have every intention of using my cards again.
