See, that makes me think. lets say Day 1 is the day you're currently on. Day 2, a villager will move in.
You log onto any character on Day 1. Isabelle greets you with the time and etc. You change the time to Day 2 through her, and then you log in. If there's a villager there, you reset. When you log back in, you're on Day 1 again. Would that work at all? I can't try it right now because I have no new villagers moving in, but if someone else could try it out, I'd love it!
If I have a villager set to move into my town from someone else's town, but I don't choose their house spot today (like I don't play Animal Crossing at all the day he's supposed to set a fence down)... do I get to choose their house spot tomorrow or will the game kind of force a spot on me for waiting?

It didn't work for me. I had Diva moving in from someone else's town and I wanted her in a normal non-awkward spot. I start a new Character to find out that she's moves in right behind the Town Hall slightly off center. Then after that I turn it off without saving. Start it back up and she's moved in. I did everything said to do. Her spot is OK considering she lives riight next to the pond and Jeremiah lives slightly below it. It's cool because they're both frogs and you find frogs in. I really hope that it works when I try to get Coco from my other town ... :[
I don't know if it would work or not since I TT via the DS internal clock and that seems to save regardless of whether or not I save.
Example:
Day 1. I plant a tree
Day 2. I TT to the next day and the tree is at the next stage. I quit the game without saving and revert to Day 1. But tree is still at the next stage.
I don't know if TTing via Isabelle works different. If you test this out, please post your findings
Weird D: Did you discover the plot with a new character?
That's... Weird. I've never encountered anything like this. Is Diva your 10th villager by any chance?
Okay so I have 10/10 villagers. There is one villager(Katt) that I am going to get to move out. Im searching for a specific villager(Bam).
Would I be better off constantly resetting the day after she moves and hope he shows up in a camp, or wait for the 7th day when a plot shows up everyday?
Also if you play with a friend alot, can their villagers(the uninvited ones) move in the exact day after your 10th villager leaves?

It didn't work, sadly. I think I understand what's happening now. The moving spot/villager is locked in when the game saves when you log in or go past 6 AM. The game saves when that happens, so it's locked in. the reason why the new villager works is because the game doesn't save when you create a new character.
If someone can think of/knows a way to load a town without having the game save, i'd love to hear it. I'm thinking maybe loading up the game a few minutes before 6 AM and opening your gates or going to the island, but I'm unsure.
Wait until the 7th day when you have 9/10 villagers (Especially if you're looking for a specific villager).
Okay, so I just reset my town and the 7th villager just moved in today (His plot showed up the day before but I was too late to move the spot...it's right in front of my house :/ ) And today he is unpacking his stuff. When should I expect the next plot to come up? I TT so I have no idea how I would do this without waiting for real time since changing the time also means logging onto your mayor character.

It's been 9 or so days since my 10th villager moved out and not a single plot has ever appeared while I was resetting for a camper during all those days. Plots don't appear unless you have 8 or less. So they will need to reset for a camper and hope to get Bam. It sucks because campers are so random, most of the time they don't even appear for me. -_-
ah! for me, the new plot appeared on the day after a new villager is seen unpacking.
edit: aaaa no everything i just said was a lie omg. fuchsia is unpacking today, but a fence for alli is there as well?? ah it's probably best just to start with a new character everyday. uvu

I don't know how the whole 10th villager thing works, to be honest. Like... I'm not sure if after the 10th one leaves, another will move in on their own or if you have to wait for a camper/a villager to move in from somebody else's town.
However, if you're waiting for a fenced plot there is a chance that Bam might not show up at all. Sometimes the game will only give you villagers from a specific personality. For instance: Sometimes the game will only give you Peppy characters. When this happens, you can spend 45454444854584 hours resetting and you'll only get peppy characters (or whatever other personality the game has chosen)
This means that for you to get Bam the game either needs to only give you fenced plots for jock characters OR have no set personality to choose from.
At the same time... resetting for the campsite is a pain. Like sometimes I'll reset 25 times and only find campers 2 of those times... @_@;;
Okay so, right now I was time travelling and I just lost a cute villager, Bonbon out of no where. So now I have 8 villagers. I want to have 2 more but I want them to be ones that I actually like. I also don't want to lose the 4 villagers that I really like.
If I set the time on my extra character to the next day, to check on which villagers will move in, the trick will work right? I just don't want to mess this up and lose my favorites again..

I recommend TTing slowly and always taking the time to talk to all villagers (make sure that they're not shopping/in the museum or in their homes when you talk to them) to avoid losing any more cute villagers.
Yup, the trick will work if you switch your clock to the next day. Make sure that you test this out with a new character. Also, remember that since you've already had your first 9 villagers there is a chance that you'll have to restart the game with a new character each day for a full week before you get fenced plots every time.
