Awesome update! What a move for Yuka!
 
PUNCHY IS TIER ONE YAAAAAAAS
 
PUNCHY IS TIER ONE YAAAAAAAS
Yep! :D
Kyle has not been seen asked for/ has been on signatures around here.
Thus, it caused him to drop.
Merengue would've been the same as well, but she's still on many people's signatures.

- - - Post Merge - - -

Also...
Fang's drop may have been way too much for him.
However, unlike those who rose, he wasn't asked for much compared to them.
Bob and Ruby would've actually been in Tier One had it not been for the aforementioned things.
Chief and Merengue were gonna switch with them, but I see them in aplenty of lists still...
Ruby on #3 due to my findings that Tangy WOULD have been in Tier One had Chrystina updated the list during that time, and she's been looked for alot more recently.
Also the cause on Ruby staying on T2.

I don't think signatures are a very good way of trying to gauge villager popularity. Unless you have a way to keep track of signatures you've already looked at, you'll be seeing more of the dreamies of people who post here a lot even though that doesn't necessarily mean the villager is more popular. You'd also have to pay attention to which villagers are being looked for versus which ones have already been obtained, since the tiers ideally should be based off of current demand for villagers and not overall frequency of villagers in people's towns. Many people don't even put their dreamies in their signature, so that also adds some bias. I get that sigs are only a part of your rankings and if you have a semi-scientific way of using signatures, then by all means go ahead, but it's something to keep in mind.

I'll definitely keep this in mind. :)

Was using signatures as Houndoomed and Chrystina had both simultaneously taken those things into account.
Will probably be doing another update Saturday/Sunday due to those things.

Villagers being looked for does impact a villager's rise/drop, this is something that would also maintain the list.

Anyway...
Thanks for the response Red Cat! :)

Its nice that you two revived the popularity thread. Too bad some villagers are in the lowest tier (Rip, Eugene, Cashmere and hopefully not Raddle) But its what makes Tier 5 villagers unique if you actually love them, right?

Thanks again.

I've never done this, so the question might be a lil stupid. If I want to trade a tier 2 villager for hybrid flowers, how many flowers can I ask for?

Doesn't really matter...
You can choose any variety you'd feel is fair. :)
Personally, I think... 3-4 flowers is good.

The thing is that I don't know what's fair since I've never done this before, but ty for the info.
