An Introduction to Villager "worth"

[richu]

Hello all! As an admin on a tumblr villager trading blog, popular demand, I have created a way to categorize villagers by their popularity. That being, how in demand they are, and what they trade for. I want to make one thing clear:

THIS IS IN NO WAY THE “LAW” OR “SET RULES” FOR TRADING YOUR VILLAGERS.

This was compiled based on feedback from tumblr, reddit, and Bell Tree Forums. If you do not agree with where a villager is, let me know!

People have specific tastes! If someone is offering Julian in exchange for T-Bone, it happens. Just not very often. Julian usually trades for Marina, Merengue, etc.

PLEASE do not think I are trying to tell you how to play your game, or what your villagers are “worth," I don't want to start any trouble.

Now I will get off my soapbox and give you the chart. Because the file is too large to upload on site, it can be found here. If it is helpful, I will also type up a list so you can find your villager easier? Let me know.

Editing: Moving monkeys down, and Punchy to the Tippy Top. Thanks guys!

Thanks for this, I was actually wondering about the popularity of villagers :3

This chart seems suspect. Mainly due to how high up all the monkeys are (I thought NOBODY liked those guys). Then again, this is culled from data pulled from tumblr instead of here, so who knows what those guys are into.

Punchy should be on top D:

Wait....you know that Champ doesn't exist in new leaf right?

Never specified it was new leaf only.

Actually I just didn't know he wasn't in NL. I'll take him off, and move the monkeys down lower.

I agree.

This is a very good starting point though! Thanks for the effort, richu!

I know you're not exactly looking for suggestions but I really think Apple should go in the very popular tier.

Does anyone think this is going a bit... too far?

I personally don't find it necessary, but we were asked several times on the blog to make something like this. We just did what people wanted

Too far? In what way?

This is a really interesting chart, and kind of a testament to some player's terrible taste in villagers- there are tons of cute ones at the bottom that I can't understand why nobody ever talks about. Alice and Bree, why does nobody love you?!

Funny thing is I have Alice in my town, and I'm thinking on when she moves I could find a Flurry...but seeing how they're the polar opposite 0_0

Nvm, it's probably just my inner nerd not liking things being judged based on popularity.

 

[KitchenWhisk]

Think of it as a sociological study instead of a high school-esque pecking order

What isn't too far regarding this? xD

Haha thanks, very nice perspective.

Flurry is the only one of my dream villagers on the top list, I really hope I can get her some day.

I just thought ranking them based on their popularity was a bit extreme, that's all. I think this "villager craze" is the first time it's ever happened in the fandom. Carry on, nothing to see here.

Apple isn't as popular as some of the others, I've seen him often go unclaimed. Someone like Marina, Bob, Flurry, Merengue would never go unclaimed.
