Embarrassed about having low-tier villagers?

[Trickilicky]

IMO when you spent ?40 on a game, you should play it the way you want, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks. There's over 300 villagers in New Leaf, and I personally wouldn't want to limit myself to a very small handful just because they're 'popular'.

Has the OP ever commented on any of these 12 pages of replies? I don't think I've seen a reply and a lot of people have come together to stand up for lower tiers, lol! Hope they decided to keep Puck anyway.

Why would anyone be embarrassed? It's your own choice who you like, that more people like another on the internet has nothing to do with it. I'm actually kind of bored of visiting dream towns with Marshal, Merengue, Julian and so on, not because I dislike them but it's nice with some variation.

a lot of my favorite villagers/dreamies are from tier 5 and i love it!!! i feel like having unusual villagers makes a town more unique and personal, whenever i visit dream towns that just have the same 10 most popular villagers over and over again it gets really boring after a while

 

[GlitterNailPolish]

Nah. Half of mine are tier 4/5, and I love them. Camofrog is another of my all time faves, along with Curt, Portia, Moe, Opal & Peaches.

Awesome, another Curt fan!
I love my low tier villagers. And there's other low tier villagers I would love to have in my town. I think if everyone had the same popular villagers over and over, it would be a bit boring.

Hi, OP here! I have been reading all your replies and really appreciate all your feedback. I'm sorry i didn't reply, but i was too busy cycling. Yes, I've decided to get rid of Puck, along with Dotty, Axel, and Bertha.

I do like Puck, but I recently got Erik who is also lazy and I like Erik about the same as Puck (appearance wise). So I'm gonna go with Erik over Puck, as this'll improve my town's social status. I realize now that the villagers I like are the popular villagers, because who doesn't like hanging around popular people? Plus whenever i see people mention Marshal, Stitches, Ankha, etc it kinda makes me really jealous and angry cuz i don't have them so i feel like my town is inferior to theirs. I know people are saying "it's your town", "do whatever you want" etc, but that's just how my personality works

I'm gonna replace Axel with Bam who i got in my cycling town, cuz Bam is the best Jock villager IMO

Hopefully i'll have 6 tier 1s and 4 tier 2s when i'm done, at which point i can start playing the game normally LOL

PS About Dotty and Bertha, I'm replacing them solely because their houses are in really bad positions. I got them before I learned about plot resetting.

Nope, Animal Crossing is that one Nintendo franchise that isn't taken competitively (see Mario Kart u.u), so don't compete with what villagers you have. Just relax and enjoy your villagers

 

[Stitched]

After I cycle Stitches through, I've been seriously debating letting Dotty leave to get Tammi back. I LOVE Tammi.
Don't feel bad for your villagers. While none of my dreamies are in tier 5 I don't think, it's my game. I'll have whoever I want in my town, tier 1 or tier 5.

I agree with that last part. Lately it feels like every screenshot I see on tumblr (from different people) has Marshal in the background. Marshal is alright but it's annoying that everybody feels the need to have him lol.

Yeah that is annoying how Marshal is like everywhere in the ACNL tumblr community.
Just post a picture of Marshal or Isabelle and it's guarantied to get a lot of notes.

I like who I like and I don't care about tiers at all. Unless there's money to be made and it's a villager I didn't want to keep anyway.

 

[CozyKitsune]

I love everyone! I have Jeramiah in my town and he is a low tier but I love him No matter what tier they are they can stay for a while! (My villagers Marshall, Merengue, Sterling, Wendy, Apple, Cherry, Papi, Dora and Jeramiah!)

"Tiers"
I see people play animal crossing competitively.

I'll never care about tiers when it comes to choosing villagers. More often than not my favorites are considered bottom.

Heck, Walt is one of my all time favorites, and he's considered bottom tier. In fact, I've even given up top tier villagers and kept low tier ones in their place!

 

[Silvery]

Most of my villagers are low-tiered but they're my dreamies so it doesn't bother me at all having them in my town. I wouldn't part with them even if they were popular.

 

[EleriDragonfly]

When Puck first moved into my town, I ignored him in the hope he'd leave. When he pinged me though, he decided to stay. And he's now one of my favourite villagers. I think I have one popular villager in my town, and that's Peanut, but the others are low to third tier. But I'm not embarrassed, I love them all.

I actually like running into the more obscure villagers in dream towns because they are fun to interact with. It gets really boring and tiring running into the same Merengue, Marshal, Julian, Beau, Diana and Stitches in each and every town especially since I have those villagers in my own town and they always recognize me and I've spoken to all of them probably 300 times. I really like the obscure and "low tier" villagers in dream towns because a lot of them are REALLY cool and don't get enough love (Tex and Del come to mind) and it's super interesting to just see them w/o actually having them in your town.

Plus I don't see what's so embarrassing about having low tier villagers. They are rarer than the higher tier ones and harder to get. Sure, you have to get really lucky or pay 20 mill bells to get Marshal in your town, but 20 mill isn't really that hard to make in ACNL with the island and stuff, and sometimes you get lucky and find someone searching for a villager you already have in exchange for Marshal. I don't think they are anything special or to be proud of. The only reason why I have a lot of higher tier villagers is because I find them really cute and aesthetically pleasing (and I also like their furniture >_>) and most of them just fell into my lap so I got lucky, but people have different tastes and some people might find low tiers attractive and to each their own, I say! Nothing embarrassing about that.

I have a mix of villagers but I don't really care about their popularity. But I am in search of a snooty villager for the PWPs T^T

That's exactly how I view villagers! When I see Marshal in someone's town, I don't see a squirrel, I just see a white bag of 40 million bells and the player flaunting it >.<

In real life it'd be like watching someone drive a really nice car and showing off

And I think that Tier 5 villagers are rare because they aren't as "good". They aren't good simply because they're rare. It'd be like saying, gameboy is rare console to see, so it's good. Well no, gameboys suck by todays standards

I was surprised when I read about villagers being sorted into tiers.

I don't care who is popular. I don't buy or sell villagers, so their value is meaningless to me. I like who I like. Shrugs.

My favorite villagers right now are Curly, Moe, Gabi, Walt and Graham. Oh, and Ken the blue chicken.

I let Julian move out of one village and then he showed up in my second village. He finally moved from there. He creeped me out. Marshall is okay. He is kind of cute, but I don't understand all of the fuss over him. He's okay...

Villagers I would like to have move to my village would be Maple, because she was my favorite villager in Wild World. I figure she will show up eventually. I can't think of any others I particularly like right now, but I like it when new villagers move in from the campsite or from streetpassing.

So no, I am not embarrassed about my villagers. I really like most of them and the others are just passing through.
