A nice tbt user saw that one of my dreamies was Inkwell and said that they were just going to amiibo them out of thier town and that I could have him. When I went to his house to ask him if he would like to move to my town he first said "Hi there, no my house isn't full of cardboard furniture! I'm moving out tomorrow. This town is great and you should stay here as long as possible." He then said "don't trip on my boxes on your way out" whenever I spoke to him again. So we waited to see if he marked a plot. Sure enough he hadn't. So we waited til Felicity moved out of my town because she was moving that day. That also did not work. Then our last attempt to get him to move was today where they scanned him in and invited me over to see if I could ask him to move in through the RV. This also did nothing.

We are new to ACNL and where wondering if we were doing anything wrong or was it just a "marketing ploy" by Nintendo to sell more amiibo.

You have to buy that amiibo to get Inkwell. Pretty sure it is the same with the other rv characters, at least the non card ones.
 
You can't adopt an amiibo from another town.

You need the Inkling Squid amiibo to unlock Inkwell, and scan it, invite him to Harvey's campground, then ask him in his RV to move to your town.

It's the only way. :(
 
No , unfortunately villagers like inkwell, epona, etoile, etc cannot be invited. You yourself have to have the actual amiibo. Normal villagers you can invite though. Also, I noticed you said you asked while felicity was in boxes. If you have 10 villagers and one is in boxes you also cannot adopt, they have to be moved out.

Could it be that you were having 10 villagers when you talked to him? Make sure you have 9 villagers in your town when you talk to him. But then you said you talked to him after Felicity moved out. So the conclusion should be that you cannot adopt Inkwell and you need to have a Splatoon amiibo and scan it yourself to get him.
 
No, Villagers from the amiibo figurines and the ones from the Sanrio cards can't be adopted from other people towns. Nintendo wants you to buy those things..

It's really annoying, especially since the US (where I'm from) never got the Sanrio cards, I had to end up buying them off eBay.

Also, the villager that's moving away have to be completely gone (including their house) if you're trying to get another one from someone else.

Ok thanks guys! I will go and tell them the news. But do you have to have the inkling squid amiibo or any Inkling amiibo exept Callie and Marie because they bring (Cece and Viche)
 
I have the boy inkling amiibo and he brings Inkwell to Animal Crossing.
