It's been reported that 16 villagers need to have moved out of your town before you can get the same one back.

Have a friend take Bruce, then when Bruce moves out of their town, grab him back?

You can have a friend take Bruce, move 16 villager in and out of your town, and then go get him back.

I asked this a bunch of times and the threads I asked on pretty much died out, so does anyone know if the villager will remember you?

In order to get Bruce back, he'll need to stay in the friend's village until the village he came from cycles through 16 more villagers--that can take a very long time (or it can take a few hours if you TT and don't care who moves in and out). There is no known way to get a villager that moved back until the game forgets you had that villager. 16 villagers are reportedly stored in memory. Once four villagers move out of your town, those relocated villagers (whether they went to other towns or just left into the digital void) will appear on Main Street. They game has to cycle the villager through Main Street, having other villagers replace them. Once you've cycled through 16 villagers that relocated since the TT accident, you can have your original villager back.

That's how I understand it, and from what I've read there are no exceptions. There is a rumor that you can have the same villager (meanining the same one you traded away--not another instance of the same villager) move back into your town without having to wait for the villager to cycle through Main Street, but that is not true.

This really, really sucks. DX Especially when said villager shows up at your mall area, and you just want to talk to them a million times to get them to move back in. I'm at 8 villagers now, and bleh, at this rate I'm going to need to find more characters I don't want/need and let them move in, just to boot them out.

Assuming that, since the whole purpose of cycling 16 villagers out of your village is to erase said villager from memory, I'll say no.

I'm fairly certain that even if you get a villager to move into another town and try to get that same villager back you can't.

You'll have to cycle through 16 villagers to overwrite the villager you want.
