I hate rubbing salt in wounds, but I have to point this out as I've just seen multiple reddit/ign/gamefaq posts about Amiibo villagers definitely not moving out...or requiring an all Amiibo town to ping...it's not true.
YES-Amiibo villagers ping to move.
NO-you don't need a town full of Amiibo villagers to get them to move.
I hate to bring this up again, but one of the reasons I keep insisting on bringing up my story is to warn people of the fact that NOPE, this is no myth, it was definitely impossible for me and others to get amiibo villagers to move out.
As I've already said, I can pretty much guarantee it wasn't just bad luck, but a game mechanic that operated with the specific intent of locking those villagers in. I know I'm basically just repeating myself, but. 100+ tries.
MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED TRIES.
So yeah... I'd appreciate it if people who were unaffected by this could stop going around saying it's just a myth. It's not. It's a very real thing that many have experienced and that people who want to summon villagers via amiibo cards or figures SHOULD be warned about, especially since we don't understand what triggers it.
Your theory about it being caused by time travel is actually pretty interesting, and definitely something worth investigating further if someone is willing to sacrifice one or more save files to prove it.....
I'm sorry there's people having issues getting them to move, but don't go pollute various threads saying they DON'T move just because yours don't move.
...but when you try to present your personal experience as if it's the one and only truth while disregarding other people's just because they don't match your own, you're not being very objective. Especially when you're trying to make it look like players who don't time-travel are somehow "better" than those who do.
If I acted like you, I'd want to ask why are YOU going around "polluting" various threads saying that it's 100% possible to move them out without a problem, just because YOURS did?
I'm sorry if I'm sounding a little salty over this, but it doesn't feel fair. Try to put yourself in my position. I've had my very first completed town irreparably damaged by this. And I've made enough tries to be able to exclude that bad luck could've had anything do to with it. Then I see others who insist that what happened to me is impossible after I try to warn other people. How do you think I'm supposed to react to this?
I'm not telling my story because I like to win silly arguments over the internet, but because I'd hate for other players to fall victim of this mechanic just like I did, and I want to see others be free to develop their towns however they want.
Our experiences don't match. That's pretty much all we can conclude for now, because I'm willing to believe that those who were able to move amiibo villagers out are being just as honest as I am about this.
