How many of your villagers are permanent vs. temporary ones?

[CrankyCupcake]

Having new villagers come and go is part of the fun of playing the game for me, so I don't forsee a situation where everyone stays put.

Still, I've developed a particular fondness for certain villagers, and so for the forseeable future, Claude, Zucker, Paula, Raymond and Rolf will not be moving. Becky is my latest move-in, I'm still getting to know her, so she'll stay with us for a while. Pompom, Goldie, Boone and Wolfgang will move at some point.

Change keeps things interesting.

I will definitely cycle villagers. I don't TT so will probably allow whoever asks to leave to go when the time comes, though I might get too attached to a couple of favourites and end up keeping them for longer! But then I don't have any dream villagers either, just go island hopping when I have space until I see and chat to a villager I think is cool. I personally like it feeling like a natural process of villagers coming and going, and enjoy trying out and getting to know new ones every so often

 

[elphieluvr]

I plan to cycle eventually because I do want to enjoy the wide variety of villagers the game has to offer. But I think I’ll have my current lineup for awhile because I want to get all of their photos and since I don’t TT, that will take weeks.

also, Bianca and Marina are absolutely permanent. I cannot imagine having a town without them. So I have a few who I am really really attached to, but mostly, I want to love them while they’re here and then meet someone new.

I like all of my current villagers and I guess my thoughts could change depending on how bored I am, but here are my thoughts:

Permanent:
Pietro
Sprinkle
Erik

Likely Permanent:
Midge
Butch
Poppy
Jitters
Cherry

Will let leave if they ask:
Gwen
Apple

In my New Leaf, I have a list of favorite villagers (10 villagers). But I get bored of them. (It's not nice to say that I know... ;-;
In New Horizons, I have selected my most loved villagers and let go the others that I don't mind them to leave so I can meet some new faces.
( ' v ' )

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

7 are definitely staying, 2 are definitely going and 1 im on the fence about

 

[Noctis]

Right now everyone in my island are keepers. I've been thinking of replacing one villager but I really don't want to since I got him for free or more like it was a race between me and another user and I managed to talk to that villager first. So he's special. By any chance if Nintendo really restocks and sells amiibo cards in the US then I will jump on that and replace some villagers if I manage to acquire their card.

i think just sherb and maple are permanent because i love them sm! i adore the rest too, but my island wouldn't be the same without these two. that being said, i'm def going to cry when the other 8 ask to leave bc i love them all so dang much

 

[meggiewes]

Almost all of my villagers are temporary. The only one I'm undecided if I'm going to let leave right now is Sherb.

Call me silly, but I don't think I have the right to keep my villagers on my island forever. The entire point is that people move and change. I know it is a game and I'm probably thinking too deeply about this. But as a person who moved around a whole lot when I was little, I don't mind seeing new faces. I just want their pictures first.

 

[shinobirain]

Zucker was my first villager after the two we are given and I was so happy to get him since he had such a nice food theme to him lol

Though... Over time I have felt that his dialogue is kinda getting to be annoying and his personality isn't really as fun as I thought it would be. I remember Zucker and cherry had a talk and Zucker just kept talking about how he wanted everyone to, essentially, become servents and give him food. Which doesn't sound half bad lol, but it felt he kept cutting cherry off when she wanted to talk and Zucker just wasn't getting it.

 

[MyLifeIsCake]

The only villager I know for a fact that is staying is Static because he was (and still is actually) stuck around in my Wild World town for 8+ years. I want to be able to get as many new villagers to me in the game as possible, but I'm also kind of attached to a few of my villagers I have now (Apollo, Marina, Cole, Vivian, Eugene). I might spill out for some amiibo cards of the villagers I really like just so I can get them back any any time... but I feel like its different when that villager has lived in your town from the beginning.

 

[Uffe]

I'd like to keep all mine permanent. Al moved out, though, so I'm still sad about that.

 

[VelveteenCat]

Annalisa, Cherry, Lucky, Chops and Olaf are definitely staying.
Groucho and Tabby are most likely staying, they don't fit 100 % with my theme, but I think I can make it work and I really, really like them.
Shep, Hazel and Pate will be allowed to move so I can hopefully fill their spots with another three permanent villagers. The only thing that lowkey bugs me about this otherwise great plan is the fact that there is no jock that really convinces me and therefore I probably won't have one. Mac could kind of work since he is the only one who I like designwise and of whom I would buy that he's very much into working out, but he doesn't really fit and I don't like him as much as the others I have in mind.

 

[Bcat]

I'm pretty content with my lineup right now! Mira, Marina, and Octavian are permanent resients and I'm feeling like Fauna and Diana are too. I might let some of the others go if they ask, and cycle through my amiibos from time to time, but for now I'm happy!

 

[FireNinja1]

I have three villagers that I am keeping for sure (Rosie, Beau, Whitney). Outside of those three, I'm not really sure. (My other seven villagers are Hazel, Octavian, Julian, Chief, Rudy, Flora, and Flurry). I'm not really sure which ones I'll keep and which ones I'll let go, but I'm a lot less committed to keeping any of these seven than the first three. I also don't really keep a full list of dreamies, unlike in NL, so I'm perfectly fine with just slow cycling out whatever villagers the game asks me about moving out.

 

[Jacob]

I'm currently loving all of my villagers, but I'm definitely open to cycle some as I play in the years to come!

As of now I definitely want to keep Bob, Murphy, Lopez, and Vesta.
I like Bam, Muffy, Willow, Stella enough to keep for a while
I'm OK with Curlos and Coco leaving today if they asked!

Otherwise I'm not actively trying to get rid of anyone

 

[seularin]

i got all my dreamies except melba -- simon pls move out :c
other islanders !!! : rosie, lolly, coco, maple, diana, fauna, marina, zucker, && marshal !!!

 

[Catto]

I used to think my villager hunt was done for but i decided that stitches wasn't going to be a permanent villager for me, I do love him like my other villagers but I just don't connect with him that much. Besides him, all my other villagers are here to stay.
I do think I got very lucky since I even though I never planned for them, I got molly, stitches and flora as random move-ins. And both molly and flora are so fantastic I could never let them go <3

 

[hallejulia]

I've got two permanent villagers, Bruce and Diana and two semi-permanent, Quillson and Deirdre (Haven't quite decided whether they're going to stay or not). The other six are going to leave as soon as they'll ask to move out.

 

[Etown20]

Of the current 10:

4 that I plan on keeping for a long while, at least right now
4 that I like quite bit but may let go if they ask
2 that will be going when I get their picture or when they ask
