Does anyone else have that villager that just..won't..MOVE????

[Hanyuu]

So I've had Phoebe as one of my starting villagers on my island since release day, and it's strange to me that since that day she has not asked to move once?

She's my only original villager that I haven't asked to move in myself and I would have figured she would have at least asked to move by now? I TT lightly in order to force out villagers etc, and every other villager on my island that I want to keep, even those most recently moved in, have asked to move upwards of at least ten times.

I'm getting so frustrated with her presence at this point I hate it even more because she has the disgusting starter villager interior. Every time I see a cloud bubble above her head my excitement is audible, only for her to turn around and tell me how desperately she's been wanting to give me a relay tank.

Just wondered if anybody else has been burdened with a parasite of their own?
To be clear I don't think this is any sort of glitch - more so terrible luck and the game mechanics never working in my favour.
I should also point out that I've tried the various techniques of jumping back and forth to a the day that a villager will ask to move, and it's never her. Instead it just cycles through all the villagers I'd rather stay.

EDIT: As of 1:05 AM BST, on the 7th of May 2020, Phoebe finally pinged and I can be rid of her once and for all!!!

None of my villagers ever want to move, that being said I look after all my cuties

i had merengue as one of my first 3 and i was waiting for her to ask if she could move so i could give her away because i knew she was quite popular

but thing is i really do not like normal villagers so she actually drove me mad and she was on my island for about 3 weeks before i gave up and forced her out

it was a shame she was voided since she was so popular but i just couldn't take it anymore tbh and i needed her to go lol

If it makes you feel any better, Canberra was my starting uchi, and it took me more than one in-game year to move her out!

it took me 3 tries to get bubbles out of my town, the first two tries i got fed up and ended up letting skye and boris go, but on the third try, after 30 cycles, that hippo finally asked to leave... it was such a great moment

 

[voltairenism]

Rocket and Bangle were a pain. Rocket was kind of quick when I just gave up and started TTing, but Bangle was horrible. I took a pic of her before starting TTing, feeling really sad and almost not doing it, but 3 hours later and no thought bubble from her, I was just BEGGING for her to leave.

I've tried EVERYTHING to get Frita off of my island. Yet she never asks to leave! I wish move out requests were more frequent. Because right now, I'm only getting them once a month even if I decline them. They seem to be random too. I just hope an eventual campsite villager offers to kick her out and take her spot.

 

[Lavulin98]

Hahaha it happened to me! Had O'Hare at some point and needed to make spacefor someone else. But the bun simply wouldn't move. tried to make him ping, nothing. tried to kick him out with a camper, nothing. I reseted for hours and hours and the camper choose everyone but him. In the end I gave up and gave O'Hare a ninja costume. he deserves it. lol

After that he asked to move out randomly one day.

 

[Le Ham]

Bubbles and Lionel. Granted I'm refusing to ignore any villagers until I get the 50 day "talk to all the villagers" achievement, but the only villagers who've ever offered to move out are Naomi (twice and I let her go), Sandy once and Billy once. And yeah the last two aren't going anywhere haha

 

[Lokidoki]

Ava doesn't get the picture -w- i wish she would leave it was a mistake inviting her from the mystery islands, big regret. Everyone else wants to leave for me if i tt except the chicken lol

That really doesn't make me feel much better honestly! Congrats on getting her out in the end tho!

 

[BeezyBee]

I feel like a lot of people are trying to kick out their starting Uchi villagers. Which makes sense, almost none of them are likable.

 

[Ayarii]

I had teddy as one of my starting villagers it took forever to get him to move out but i finally did and was able to get my last dreamie like 30 min later

 

[Paperboy012305]

I had a villager, It was Cyd. Thank goodness he moved away last week.

OMG PHOEBE IS MY "GET OUT OF HERE NOW" VILLAGER TOO! lol She's my last o.g. and I decided that first week of playing I wanted her gone. But Biff left first. I hate her. I hit her with a net all the time. UGH.

 

[kyrynbunni]

My starting Sisterly villager did the same thing. She would never ask to move, which was fine at first cause I was going to keep Pashmina. But I wanted Reneigh instead, but Pashmina never asked to move. Eventually, I just moved her with an amiibo so she could be adopted and got someone else to move ;;

 

[ayeeprill]

yeah my starting villager Fuchsia was the same. I finally just booted her out with an Amiibo.

I actually liked her, but her house was so ugly.

Yoooo, I had Biff as my other starter?! Here's to her eviction lmao

 

[Tasuot]

I lol'ed at "parasite of their own." Dead.

Like you, I despised my Uchi starter villager. I had Canberra and she isn't exactly my cup of tea. I had her in NL and she was always so rude to me. So imagine me, day one of starting the game, telling myself, "watch me get Canberra as my starting Uchi lmao." You can only guess the DISBELIEF and utter DEVASTATION I experienced as soon as everything and everyone came into view.

With that being said, I just ignored her because if I didn't interact with her, she didn't exist (to me at least lmao). She happened to be the last villager who I needed to kick out of my island. It seems like a distant memory, but I can remember the day she asked to move away. I have never clicked a button so fast in my life before. I'm so glad I can finally be at peace now lmao

 

[Lilybells]

Astrid was one of my first 5 villagers, and everyone had asked to move except her. Merengue tried to move like 10 times! Eventually I was able to kick Astrid out with a camper I liked.
