There's much, much more badly designed villagers than good. And more that are just mediocre.
I get you're supposed to like them for their personality and quirks but its,, kinda hard to see that through an awful design.
ESPECIALLY since there's a whole category of other villagers with the same exact personality. I understand having a few ugly ducklings but it's appalling with the amount there is.
Design is a pretty subjective thing though so this is just my personal opinion :0
I also wish they went farther with the designs more often,, like coco, Julian, Ankha, etc. They seen to be the most interesting and popular and its much more fun than uh,, normal looking cat #67
This is one of my gripes, too. I appreciate the fact that there are so many villagers available, but I wish a lot of them were better designed. I immediately loved Tia when I saw her, and immediately hated Barold and Rasher and tried to get them out of my first town.
I guess the game does kinda teach you not to judge a book by its cover, since I initially didn't like Monty and was planning on getting him to leave, but then he gave me a lot of fruit. And when I say 'a lot of fruit,' I mean that aside from the island fruits, every fruit I have in my town originally came from him! I got all of the town fruits from him, and persimmons and bamboo before I even unlocked Gracie.
Still hate Rasher, though.
