I have played Animal Crossing ever since Wild World. It seems like I have seen most of the villagers and then BAM! I was totally awed by the adorable and hitherto unknown to me Sylvana who popped into my campsite one day It also seems like there is a group of villagers that are really common "starters" (there when you move in) and then slowly you get a little more uncommon ones as you play for a while. I think Klaus has been in almost every starter town I have had. I love the more rare ones!
