Walt, for sure. He was in my first ever New Leaf town, and was there since the day I made my town. I didn't play for a long period of time- and when I got back he was gone. All I got was a letter with his picture attached. Never thought I could experience emotions for a virtual kangaroo.
I had Gladys from the campsite. Me, as an idiot, messed a ton of time stuff to grow plants and she moved without me realizing. She's not out of the 16 cycle so I'll still wait. :/
!!!!!!!! Same! I didn't mean to let him go, I just loaded up my town one day and he was gone.
I also miss Anicotti, Chadder, Lolly, Tangy, Tex, and Tammy. I have their Amiibo cards so I can get them back, but they're not the original ones I had, so it's different. Either way, it's opened opportunities for me to experience new villagers and a new town design at least!
Teddy!!! He lived right next to me by the beach in my first town, which I still have, and every morning I so looked forward to seeing him on the beach doing his morning stretches.
He ended up moving to my brothers town town after a visit, but at least I still get to see him, and he remembers me when I visit, but I still was sad that I missed his ping, cause I would have kept him forever !!!
Ah, that's hard. I've had so many great villagers and moved them out for one reason or another. I suppose the ones I miss the most are Hazel and Scoot.
Mine is Nan, she was a part of my original 5 and was the first villager I got close with and was also the nicest one in town. she moved close to when I planted the first bamboo shoot, then things got out of control...
