How Did You Choose Your Dreamies?

[Ursaring]

I suppose I tend to favor villagers which are a little unique, like Tucker the woolly mammoth and Hans the Bumble.

And rainbow clown sheep.

At first it was who I found cute. Then it moved to my villagers each have to be from a different species. Now its different species and I have to have one of each personality. It's been quite the process getting to my current and FINAL dreamie list haha.

the cutest from each personality type I guess.

I always choose based on personality type (as in getting all personality types in my town), colour palette and whether I like their overall character design or not. With colour palette in particular, I'm hoping to create an autumn-themed town soon, so as such I'm looking for villagers that are either brown, green or orange.

Villagers I actually like and not base on looks or for the sake of a theme.

Normally when choosing my dreamies, I look through the personality categories on nookapedia and choose that way. I always have one of each personality, so it does make it a little easier. Often I either want two peppies, or two smugs since there's only 8 personalities. Then I choose my dreamies based on who i've loved having in previous towns, as in villagers who've become my favourite villagers as they're a must have in all of my towns. After deciding that, I start picking other villagers to go in my towns based on if I think they'd look cool and if they'd go with my other dreamies colour scheme wise. Usually before searching for them on the forums I tend to go on tumblr to look at some screenshots of them before deciding if I definitely want them or not, because they could look cute in pictures, but actually not so cute in screenshots.

I just picked the ones that were the cutest to me, sadly they were all tier 1's and it took a while to get them all. It was worth it in the end. ^~^

I've never taken color palette's into consideration outside of house exteriors, but that seems like a really interesting way to choose villagers! I like the thought of it a lot, having villagers who actually match the themes and tones of their town!

I'm the same way with the personalities, I absolutely must have one of each, if only for the sake of PWP requests. And then I tend to favor having an extra Normal and an extra Smug or Uchi, as those personalities are my absolute favorite (and request my favorite pwps!) I try to vary the villagers between my towns, though, instead of keeping the same ones in each, just to get to experience new villagers I never have before. There may be a couple of my favorites I'm more inclined to have, like Deirdre and Skye! c:

For my main town that's Pokemon themed, the dreamies I picked are all based on Pokemon themselves. It was a difficult process to pick only 10 but I wanted to make sure they all had the following requirements:

1. The villager must somewhat look like the Pokemon I'm aiming for them or at least close in species.
2. 8 of them would belong to one of the four human characters in my town (2 villagers/Pokemon for each trainer/human, including the mayor). Because of this set-up, the final 2 were very difficult to choose because I still wanted them to follow the Pokemon theme.
3. Their greeting and catchphrase were to based off of a Pokemon attack/theme and species of Pokemon the villager is representing. This was the most difficult aspect to maintain because the game makes it so easy for them to steal each others' catchphrases. It's a shame their greeting doesn't transfer through for dream addresses. ;^;

Their houses was the thing I looked at the least in terms of choosing. Originally, I was going to decorate each of their houses but it's so time consuming and it's a shame you can't change their wallpaper/flooring. I'm still decorating their houses little by little or restoring them to their original state (way easier said than done).


As for my second town, I was going to do a historical/medieval theme but I found myself getting uninterested after getting dreamies I thought I wanted. Now it's slowly starting to become a free range town with no theme to make my life easier. I heavily based my decision on their design and houses before going free range.


So yeah, it's been quite... the process haha.

Yes!! The traders on here are amazing, and I would have never obtained my favorite villagers without them. c: I cycled for a bit, and it's so rewarding helping people get the villagers they want.

Well for my first town, i didnt really have a theme or anythi until aabout 2 years after i started playing lol so before that i just chose villagers that looked cute to me, and looked the most like natural animals. After i decided on a theme for my town, which is a dark, spooky forest i decided on halloween themed villagers as well, like Kiki would be my number one from that town she completes it!

For my second town i wanted a spring, light, mori themed town so i chose villagers that looked mori themed i guess? So far in my new town i have: cally, goldie, felicity, chevre, fauna as far as the theme goes,

But other than that i just choose villagers based on how cute i think they are
