Ever let's see I think was Francine, Sparrow, Bangle, Tia, and Walt..three are gone now as two were repeats from another town and loved Walt but traded but was a good group as far as starters.
Still partial to my original town when I was just happy to have anyone and a new game, Margie and Fang were pleasant intro starters when first started over a year ago now on now completed original town.
One of the best starters I've EVER had is Poppy. She's in my town since I started on December 21st last year, and she's CUTE! She just gave me a baby panda bear and some cool clothing, all because we're good friends, she said. I'm hoping to get her picture soon!
I guess technically my town for the one year challenge has gotten the best starting villagers with Fauna, Ankha, Beau, sly and agent s though I don't count those last two.
I've started with Merengue and Flora before too, but eh.
