my first two starters were agnes & roald, and my three others were olive, bianca, and alfonso-- olive and bianca were from mysery islands and alfonso was a random move in
I did ok i got Chevre (Favorite villager overall was absolutely stoked ) Al (Hated him but hes growing on me sort of still would let him leave in a heartbeat tho) Bangle (She's ok she's definitely the village clown I'd probably let her go)
My first 5 were Mac, Rocket, Coco, Beau and Bangle. I love all of them and I think they were great EXCEPT FRICKIN ROCKET who basically brings the whole squad from a 10/10 to a 4/10
Tank was good for me. I was really happy to get him again. He was one of my starters in Wild World. Then Mitzi was a starter island villager I invited. Was really happy to get her. Had her in every game.
Canberra is ok and is my 2nd starter, I hated Pietro as my forced smug. I took on Rex for my lazy since I wanted a lion, and Bluebear for my peppy for a friend. The later 3 of which are gone now.
I really dislike how stunted in design the starter villager homes are. Canberra literally has nothing in her house. Bluebears was boring until I saw it fully in my friend's island who got a copy of her somehow after she was adopted. Mitzi I am forcing rattan furniture which is working well. Rex worked for his personality.
I got Marina, Erik, and Flora as my #3-5 which I think was pretty good. Ended up selling Marina since I knew she was popular and letting go of the second two due to their non-upgradable houses (I actually never figured that out until recently)... and I miss Flora DEARLY. She doesn't really fit in with my island though, as I basically have forest animals and she's a flamingo. But god, I miss her so much, she's too cute and I kinda wish I could've just traded her back for her upgraded house. Getting a new Flora wouldn't be the same.
