I am considering resetting until I get Rooney. I love him with all my heart. I don't have his card (which may get reprinted anyway), and I am not sure if I will be able to play online on New Horizons, so it is worth a few tries I guess...
But I know it will be very hard, as we will only start with two, maybe three, villagers, and we will have new ones and possibly more GC-only ones coming back.
. . .
I remember back during the dawn of New Leaf, I decided AGAINST restarting to get Kabuki or Monty, who were my favorites at the time, as I was just too excited and wanted to start playing. After around two months, I realized my town didn't feel right without one of them, and I HATED T-Bone for getting in the way and refusing to move, so I decided to restart until I got one of them (which was Monty). Keep in mind, this was before I knew about adopting villagers.
. . .
I just I will see. I mean, even if it does take multiple tries (and possibly giving up), it will be fun to explore all the new and returning villagers along the way.
As for Astrid, my other favorite, I am not as worried about getting her (assuming Amiibo will have the same support, and assuming the current cards will be compatible) as I have her card, and can just scan her right in, like I did in my current New Leaf town.
