Nope. I dislike when most of my favorite villagers are popular, because I can imagine when people see who I have they just go "Of course you have so-and-so." But I like whoever I choose to like, and if I want them in my town I'll suck it up and have them in my town. I WISH all of my favorites were low tiers, just so I wouldn't feel like I was following the trend or crowd. I can't help who I like though ;(
