I think this has already been said but I think Jambette has the worst design.
And it's just because of the huge lips. Like, they're bigger than her arms. I would say everything else about her design is okay, but that's why it's the worst to me. One change and it'll be okay
Kabuki. His colors don't combine well, and his face is just overloaded with his red stripes. His eyes look angry, and he looks like he will never show even the smallest spark of joy. Anyways, I think this is maybe why Japanese game developers almost never include references to Japanese culture on their games.
I must admit that while I don't mind Rilla, her design is in fact strange. I mean, the color choices are actually not bad, but I think it was not the best choice to use a gorilla villager representing a Hello Kitty themed character.
I also find Holden just extremely ugly. The neon yellow fur with those weird anime eyes, he looks like as if he's the main protagonist of some horror movie, like some creature hunting poor little kids' souls.
Pancetti looks quite weird too, especially her face, which looks so overloaded with all that make-up. Would may looks better if it was more decent.
Now that I think about it, there is one villager I forgot to mention whose design kinda bothers me: Chrissy. Now I don't get me wrong, I actually don't mind Chrissy, but I'm not really a fan of her design overall. Those huge eyes for example creeps me kinda out. When it comes to Francine, I find her design a bit better compared to Chrissy's, but find it weird that her eyelids have the same design than her ears.
Gruff. An absolute abomination that should've never even existed in the first place. There's so much to say about him and his design. His ugly cap, his literal zombie skin??? His awful eyes and the shirt choice... a whole mess from head to toe!
BELLA. This is the most godawful cursed creature in whole entire game and nobody can tell me otherwise. I can feel my eyeballs BURNING after looking at this thing, I once had her in my campsite and I immediately left.
My two least favorite designs are Chelsea and Flurry.
Chelsea looks like they tried too hard to make a cute villager and utterly flubbed it.
Flurry takes my pet peeve of villagers lacking noses to a new level. She looks really weird with just that flesh colored muzzle and I have no idea why people find her to be cute.
Then again, I have a bunch of villagers I like who have been posted in the thread by others, so just goes to show how much tastes can vary.
BELLA. This is the most godawful cursed creature in whole entire game and nobody can tell me otherwise. I can feel my eyeballs BURNING after looking at this thing, I once had her in my campsite and I immediately left.
I think Elise is the worst for me. I can't stand her gaudy look. The catch phrase doesn't help either " puh-lease. " Ya, like puh-lease get out of my town.
I would have to say Rilla. Hello Kitty is really cute, but she is not. Plus, I don't like the gorilla designs at all. Much too ugly and not to mention my mom hates them too. :/
