The animals I considered my best friends are Vesta and Hugh (mostly Hugh tho lmao)
I had them as my first villagers when I played wild world. I heard acnl was coming out and I wanted to test the waters since I haven't played any games from the series before. Hugh was a sweetheart but he ended up moving away which kinda turned me off from playing WW since from what I remember I don't think you got a say whether villagers moved or not at the time? I could be wrong but it still really upset me.
I'm still hoping he moves in to my current acnl town to reunite :'> I miss being called K-monkey
