lol it's funny I found this thread at this time, yesterday I saw two people in the window of an hour with like at least 6 villagers the same as mine on their dreamies sig x.x
in my defense, I'm just picking guys that fit my theme. I did desperately try to pick villagers that were uncommon lol but it turned out to be impossible because they were either dummy ugly or didn't fit at all
Like the only ones i have right now are Mitzi and Merengue, which are super popular.
Filbert, Willow, Cherry and Bluebear are a little bit popular.
Jacques, Rod, Gonzo, Ken are not that hated, but also not really requested.
So its almost like half-and-half.
I also tend to switch Villagers out for new ones i kinda like. I don't have scanned all Amiibos in yet, but i will keep Groucho for a while after he kicked Quillson out. Except for Pinky and Curt i did'nt had that many Bear Villagers, but he seems kinda cool. Its really hard when you want that many Cranky Villagers on you Island, but don't want repetitive Dialogue. I really like most Designs.
Oh, my dreamies list is super unoriginal!
Raymond, Tangy, Kid Cat, Lolly, Bob, Flora, Lily and Julian (Though, I'm thinking of cycling between Flora and Frita), I got my other two dreamies, Rosie and Marshal, already haha
I just like cuteness, friendly faces (like in Tangy's case, who's just got this big nice smile!) and.. cats a lot. I'm predictable when it comes to that haha
I don't really have dreamies as much as villagers I would keep if they turn up, I don't really search for them unless they have a cheap amiibo card. That said, some amiibo ones I've got who I always like to have in my town are Sterling, Knox and Hans.
Some others that I'd keep if I find them are Vic, Ahnka, Cube, Dobie, Drago, Tucker, Spike and Boris.
I guess Ahnka is pretty popular but the rest aren't really
Mine is pretty unpopular I think
T-Bone
Hans
Monty
Gonzo
Dobie
Rasher
Vladimir
Charlise
Violet
(looking for someone for the last spot)
My headcanon is I have a whole russian mafia gang (воры в законе) of which I take care of in my town and I'm some sort of a communist police officer which, in the same time, isolates them from the outside world and protects them.
I guess it's the most original and, in the same time, the most stupid and strange town / island aesthetic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm still rather new to the game, so I'm far from knowing all of the designs.
Currently my most wanted are Annalisa and Cherry. Of the ones I already have I guess Lucky, Pate and Groucho could be considered dreamies.
i'm thinking of having the same animals on my island as i have in my town in new leaf.
Timbra ( the sheep )
Chevre ( the goat )
Tom ( the cat )
Becky ( the chicken )
Vic ( the bull )
Biff ( the hippo )
Bisket ( the dog )
Kevin ( the pig )
Julia ( the ostrich )
Savannah ( the horse )
or maybe i will switch Timbra for another animal.
( i don't like to have duplicate animals so it will be something i don't have already. )
or maybe i keep Timbra, and just pretend i and my villagers wanted to move to an island and came to live here.
(see signature) I try to give non-popular villagers a chance though for the most part I lean on more aesthetically pleasing / popular ones. I find popularity lists often skew my own perspective and make me biased towards "prettier" villagers because of the exclusivity. I think that makes me miss out on some of the experience of getting to know new characters I don't often see which is part of the journey but idk... I guess trading for a specific villagers in general takes away the mystery so I'm really just shooting myself in the foot either way
I don't really have Dreamies I'd say, but the ones I absolutely will never let go are Dom, Sherb and Zucker which I all found on deserted Islands. All of them are fairly popular I think.
I would love to have Murphy, Wade and Olive though who are not that popular. Pietro or Julian would be awesome as well, but I know that they are highly sought-after.
I'd say I'm around the middle ground. I do like a lot of species that are typically more popular.
Bob
Kiki
Lobo
These 3 are definitely my 'most popular' villagers, Lobo kinda falls behind on that one because I always find he's somehow the least popular wolf but well, he is still a wolf.
O'hare
Avery
Dierdre
Cranston
These are my other 4 permanent residents so far. I think they're all pretty middle of the road? Not super popular but also not super unusual
Teddy
Freya
Merengue
These 3 are placeholders. Teddy has been in my village from the start but I'm thinking about finding another jock I enjoy. Freya was the first snooty I found on an island and I know I could trade her. Merengue I found on an island and snatched up for my gf.
As for dreamies remaining... Ketchup is literally the only one I'm currently hunting down like a deranged person. I don't see her around much but when people do get her they seem to love her, which like, I agree. Other than her I'll have 2 spots to fill with whatever snooty and jock I want,, thinking I'll just take whoever I find on an island although I do really want another bird type villager.
I think my dreamy list is probably fairly original.
Boris
Tangy
Ketchup
Aziz (so original he's not even in New Horizons)
Raymond
Canberra
Chester
Coco
Jacques
Tasha or Velma (there isn't really a snooty villager I love)
Raymond is probably the least original one. (also Coco is pretty popular I think)
Not sure if that's really my "ultimate" dreamy list though, because I was keeping balance in mind. (no more than two of a certain personality type and at least one of each personality)
Mine is semi original when I look at tier lists a lot of mine are lower tiered, there are a few popular ones. Bangle, Broccolo, Cherry, Deirdre, Henry, Marina, Monique, Pango, Phoebe and Sprinkle. A few of them are popular but most are mid to low tiered.
