Do you think the Island villager generation is random?

Or does the game sense what you are missing and try to give you the personality type.

Right now, I’m missing a jock. Do you think the game now thinks of jocks to give me via island or it’s truly RNG.

I’m hoping those people who cycle or time travel would have a better sense of how the game generates.

It's randomly rolled by animal type on mystery islands but skewed towards missing personality types for campers on your island

I Wish i knew for sure. But i think there a youtube vedio of it. But I think the game was build to use the cards and the random Camp is for those at miss out.

I know the datamines show that its random on mystery islands, but man the number of times I run into like... hippos/horses/chickens seems a lot greater than the number of times I run into dogs/cats/deer/etc.

The game doesn't show you just villagers of personalities you're missing (after the first ones you meet at the start of the game, at least). I'm not sure if it's somewhat more likely to see those with other personalities mixed in or if it's the same chance for all of them.

edit: ok a lot of other people are saying it's completely random so I think I just have weird luck lol

I believe there's like a 60% chance to roll whichever personality you don't have, a jock in your case, and whoever that jock is will be random. Same with the other 40% of every other personality type, or so I've heard. And I also think it tries to even out genders(???). When I had 5 boys and 4 girls (with all personality types living on my island) it gave me a lot more girl villagers. May be just a coincidence though.
I have noticed that when I go island hopping, it almost seems to favor a couple villagers of that favored "missing" thing. I kept running into Pashmina and Diana even with an uchi and snooty living on my island. It really could just be an odd coincidence as well or the game randomly picks a couple villagers to favorite.
Either way it's safe to say if you went island hopping I'm like 90% sure you're more likely to come across a jock than other personalities, at least from personal experience.

Mystery islands odds are purely rolled by species first and a villager from that species. The personalities that you're missing on your island doesn't affect mystery island odds, unfortunately.

On the other hand, if you try to get a villager via the campsite method, the odds are 50/50 random villager or a personality that you're missing.

Yeah, it does seem like campers, for sure, try to fill out the missing personalities.

I’ve heard the island generation is random but like some of you I run into certain animals or types so often, I have to wonder if it’s truly RNG.

I believe its random I still haven't seen a number of different animal types. When I go island hopping I just keep seeing horses that is all I have on my island basically at the moment. I have only had bunnies, horses 1 monkey and 2 bears. My game is like give this girl horses and nothing else ha ha I just want cats and sheep I do not mind the personality.
