This has probably already been asked, but is it possible to see the same villager more than once while visiting Nook Miles Islands? For example, if I saw Goldie while visiting an island and didn't invite her, is there a possibility she could pop up again on another trip? I'm curious but also asking because I'm kind of afraid that after not inviting someone I see on an island, I'll go home and be like "dang...I wish I'd invited them!" And I'm also wondering about the chances of getting a certain villager. Like if you only see each villager once until you've seen them all, you have a 1/[idk how many villagers there are lol] chance of finding them, but if you can see the same villager more than once, the chances of finding a particular one are much smaller.
I saw someone complaining that they got the same villager 5 times, so it seems like you can meet them again. Haven't gone on enough Nook Miles islands to get a duplicate villager myself though.
It happened to me once but I noticed it was after I finished a tour, saved and quit my game, rebooted it and went on the next tour.
I got the same villager and island then so I'm not sure if it's just coincidence of if it had something to do with me quitting - like the game decided to take me back to that point before I exited for whatever reason.
Afterwards, I didn't experience it thought I didn't go on THAT many tours - probably about 15 tops.
Yes, possible, although I have not encountered them back to back but close enough, same villager within 2-3 visits. It was Octavian that I encountered 3 times withing a sitting of 60 or so Nook Island visits within a day.
I've had two repeats. Pietro was my first camper and I was so traumatised I didn't even speak to him. Later saw him on a mystery island and rewarded his persistence.
Zucker was a mystery island find. Then he both left me, and then re-appeared on a mystery island the same day, without remembering me...
