I Don't Have Dreamies

I can't say that I honestly have "dreamies" either. I have one villager that I'm especially looking out for, that villager being Aurora, but other than that I just go with the flow.
My current villagers are Pashmina, Lolly, Gwen, Rowan, Simon, Quillson, Poncho, Apple and Agnes. I'm thinking of moving out Pashmina or Agnes, just as I have too many Uchis. I'd like for my town to have variety but also I'd like that excitement of not knowing who's going to move in. I'm also going to move Quillson out, and possible move Marshal in as he seems like such a little cutie pie. I'm also going to move Rowan and Simon out, as I already have Poncho as a Jock and I'm not to fond of Simon. Other than that, I let whoever wants to move in move in and let them plonk their house down wherever they want. It's fun just to wait it out and see what happens. :)
 
I wouldn't try to get them again (with the exception of a few) but I thought that dreamies were villagers you really wanted or liked. I wouldn't go through all sorts of trading again just to get the same villagers, then there's no point to resetting XD But I toatally agree.... one time I did a google + poll in an animal crossing community called "how do you find your dreamies" and basically I went on a rant about how I can't stand people who try to get popular villagers just because they are popular, and that I think that its better to give your villagers a chance. I mean I've had ugly villagers who turned out to be really sweet and kind, so why would I hate them? But anyways... the poll options were:
I like populars
Idc, I take anything
Same as the guy who posted this
a mix of popular and other villagers
and then there was a "looks" option. Sad thing is, most people said they liked villagers based off of looks and popularity... sad, huh?
I had Bob (original, a starter) and I got Butch (for free, conveniently) they disappointed me, so they're off my "would like" list. The list below is more of a "would like" and the villagers I really want are Fauna but that's it. I don't go for the looks necessarily or popularity. Rolf is my literal best friend in ACNL, I sent him personal letters even though I know he can't read them properly >.> He's not popular or attractive much.

Well this has turned into a rather lively discussion!

Last night just before I went to sleep Camofrog said he wants to move. I intend not to talk with him until he does, because I always have terrible luck with the 'Go/Don't Go' question and they end up staying.

It's not that I hate Camofrog, but I think it's time for a change. So I guess I'll be seeing some interesting villagers soon enough :)

On the OP's actual question, I do have a few recommendations of villagers and why I like them... And I think I'll stick mainly to some of my less common favorites, because I figure you've already seen the more common ones, and if those don't put mud on your turtle, you wouldn't want to hear it again.

Walker: I don't know why, but I feel this one might speak to a Lyman fan's sensibilities (I don't know what yours are exactly, but I'm trying to look at what you like and think about that appeal) more than anything I have in my exact town. I've always liked him because he's got that simple, open expression...And that, given a black-and-white shirt, he'd look like on old black-and-white cartoon character, and that's an aesthetic I dig. If I had an empty spot, I might put him in my town.

Papi: And now one from my town, I just adore his big, sort of cartoony eyes (super expressive on the animations -- they change shape a bunch), a lazy personality's never amiss (though it's not my favorite)...And the fact that he's modelled after an Okapi. I love villagers with unusual animal designs, I love villagers with designs with a specific referential or story sense to it, I love Papi to death. 10/10.

Hazel: She's a bit of an unexpected villager, but I think that combo of an unconventional appearance and a slightly aggressive, but ultimately self-confident, personality really works for me. I feel like she uses her unibrow as a weapon against the world, ha ha... And anyway, hard to go wrong with a squirrel (Hard to go wrong at all really, but shh).

Flurry: She's a great villager, the sweetness of her cute little white face with her blue little eyebrows (just strange enough that I really enjoy them) serving as a really good counterpoint to her very sweet personality. Also, as a hamster, she does not clear some of the taller flowers, that that's totes adorbs.

Jacques: Not one from my town, but a friend had him and I just adore his design so much. He's a hipster, sort of northwest or northeast (I feel like he could be from the Montreal area) Outdoorsman Bird. And I love it. I like it when I feel a villager's personality and appearance really match up, or when a villager's appareance adds a bit of story to them when you can fill in the blanks, like Ribbot or Coco or, yes, Jacques.

Cyrano: Do you enjoy brightly-colored animals of not always appreciate species with AMAZING EYEBROW GAME? Do you like or need a cranky? Cyrano might just be the villager for you. He just looks satisfyingly cranky for his personality, but not with the sort of details that never work for me -- just a strong pair of eyebrows and a freckle-y nose.

I obviously have more, but I feel like I'll just keep explaining my own sensibilities over and over again.
Actually, here's a tip that I think is better than any single recommendation: go look at dream towns. When you see villagers in motion, you might just find some things that are unexpectedly charming that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Thank you for the write-up, incidentally. The perspectives are interesting, and if I find any villagers from your list I'll give them a trial ;)
