Happy experimenting.

... I'm sorry but before I go...
When looked at... their names can be dissected a bit to show they have a lot of similarities... which kinda makes it funny.
That is all.

I think it's because most people playing animal crossing tend to want the 'cuter' villagers, and the most popular ones are the ones that are most typically cute (generally). However I think too many people do care too much about how popular they are, hence the threads asking which villager to choose, and I think the whole 'tiers' thing is ridiculous anyway

I have some popular villagers as my dreamies, but I want them because I like their looks or they're just only ones from a certain personality that I like. I don't want them just because they're popular.
I had Marshal for like a week, since I had him in my campsite so naturally I did invite him to my town and see what he was like. Tho I already have a smug villager I'm gonna keep and he didn't turn out being that great to my taste. He was cute but meh. So I sold him to someone who wanted him more than I did.
There might be people who want popular villagers "just because they're popular" but I think people mostly want them because they really like them. I'm gravitating towards tier 3 and lower villagers since there's a lot I really like. So yeah.

I really like some of the popular ones and dislike others... I think for everyone it's just about who they like or not, you guys are looking way too much into this. Popular villagers are popular just because a majority of people happen to think they look good.
*Raises hand.* At first I wanted Marshal because he was popular,but he is at the bottom of my villager priority list.I honestly don't like Julian.For someone I used to like him,then I found out how popular he was and I didnt like him anymore...xD I love Stitches,not because popularity but because he's so cute!I mean come on,he is a colorful teddy bear!I also love Zucker,his design is awesome.He was in my campsite once but my town was full..-.-

I have a sort of long reason for getting Marshal but in short I guess I like his design.
Some popular villagers I really don't like others I'm just kind of meh about them like I would like to have them in my town but would rather give them away to someone who really wants them.

I actually liked Marshal at first because he was popular. Everyone or most people liked him and I wanted to like him too so I fit in with the crowd.
Then I slowly grew to hate the stupid squirrel. I don't know why, I just hated every fiber of his being and tried to resist liking him ever again.
Obviously by my signature, I have grown fond of the squirrel once again. But it's not because of what the crowd wants, it's because I just think he is adorable.
Most Tier 1's I see no appeal in. I don't like Merengue, Ankha, Lolly, Julian, Zucker, or Marina tbh. But I can see why people like them.

I gave Marshal away because he's not in my town's theme. I tend to go for villagers that fit a theme more than just because they're cute, but I must admit I do not like the anteaters and the elephant villagers so visual appeal does play a factor in my village line-up as well. I'm looking for Julian, I need him for Haven where he'll be beside Drago the dragon, Phoebe the phoenix, Hans the yeti, Jitters the Zombie bird and Ribbot the sentient robot frog. I'm looking for types more than tiers.
Misimu needs villagers that I think fit the season - Robin for spring, bud for summer...etc. Haven needs mythical creatures.

I only have Marshal because he was a random move-in. He's cute and all but I'm not going to keep him.
Dreamies that I want that are popular are Molly and Frita but only because their houses are cool and they have cool designs.

I used to want him, because I thought I might like him, but when I visited him in a dream town I didn't like him much (and he kinda has the same voice as my current Smug..) I didn't want him just because he was popular, I thought he was cute and would like another Smug.
I picked most of my dreamies by looking through the list and choosing ones that I thought I'd like

I thought personalities of the same type all had the same voice?
At first, I didn't like Marshal. I didn't understand all the hype, and it turned me off of him, to be honest. But then I got to know him when he was in my town, and now I regret letting him go... *sigh* Julian creeps me out, and I've never liked him. He's a unicorn with creepy eyes, and he's supposed to be a dude ... say what?! I love Stitches though, he's soo cute! <3 But I like villagers depending on their cuteness, not their popularity.

Ya beat me to it. =3
But they do.
All villagers in that personality will have the same voice... just another way to tell them apart.
Huh. Maybe so.. Never noticed it. It kinda bothered me more with the Smug voice, since I've had my Smug for a long time and he's one of my favorites. It was just kinda creepy to hear Marshal sounding the exact same xD
lol didn't notice that

Don't look down on me!
*Slowly raises hand* I'm hipster when it comes to that stuff.

A few days before the game was actually released I noticed a lot of tumblr posts about Marshal and I was just like "Lots of people like this squirrel" so I thought it was kinda funny when he was the 3rd animal to move into my town. He's been here ever since (he grew on me and I went through a long period of only getting ugly villagers) but recently I've been thinking of letting him go, since I have two other smugs that I like a lot more than him. :v One being Pietro, who is my favorite, and the other being Julian, who I like because he's blue and a unicorn and has pretty pink eyeshadow. ~v~ The other T1 villagers I don't care for very much.
I have diana, teddy, poppy, marshal, erik, deirdre, bruce, fauna, kidd, and nan. I like the deer villagers and small villagers, the only exception being teddy. Hmm. I guess i like neutral colored villagers, on the whole? I guess thats the pattern i see for myself.
