I'm Curious~ How Did You Choose Your Dreamies?

[Orieii]

[sub]Marshal: I wanted him before I knew he was popular o.o I think he's really adorable~!

Francine & Chrissy: I ALWAYS wanted the twin bunnies to live in my town at the same time since the GC ver. Now I have them both in my town... so adorable ; u ;

Kid Cat: Best jock ever! He is my absolute favorite cat/ jock/ villager X3 He's really cute and funny ♡

Beau: He is super~ cute! >w<

Fang: One of the best cranky's imo. Plus the wolves are really cool!

Mira: I needed a uchi bad... now I love her^^

Agent S: I wanted Kid Cat to have his side kick.

Merengue: I just needed a cute normal lol. I saw her in my camp and let her move in as my 10th villager :3

Julian: He looks so pretty! I think his design is amazing. I really love this unicorn ♡ He fits perfectly in my town [/sub]

 

[Lurrdoc]

I saw something unique in each of the dreamies that I chose.

 

[MindlessPatch]

Kind of long so I'll put it in a spoiler~

Spoiler: Reasons

Mine was a very long process. I first listed any old favourites from Wild World and City Folk. Then since cats are my favourite animal I went through all the cat villagers and added the ones I liked to my list. Eventually I settled down with 10 villagers I wanted but when I went to check their personalities I had a lot of double ups and three normals so I went ahead and swapped a few out.

After this I was set on 9 villagers and unsure who to swap the third normal for. But after achieving Chief from a very nice user she said she wanted to give away Purrl and asked if I wanted her. Due to not having a snooty on my list and her being a cat she was added into my town.

Now I had a set of dreamies I really loved but after accidentally losing Chief— a favourite I stumbled upon in City Folk. I went ahead and worked in the 16 villager cycle losing Purrl in the process and Beau as the very last villager I needed to get out. So once again my dreamies needed a few new additions as I hated doing the 16 villager cycle and wouldn't dream of doing it again.

This is when I decided I wanted at least one villager of each personality. Purrl was a snooty so I was set on swapping her for another one: Ankha or Diana. Ended up picking Diana as I had just lost Beau and Zell needed a little deer buddy to chill with. Due to Purrl being a cat villager though I decided to add Kid Cat in my town as a jock character.

When I was cycling I stumbled upon Deirdre. At first I wasn't really set on having an uchi in my town as none really stood out to me but after talking to her she's such a lovely little deer and is permanently staying in my town. I also have Muffy at the moment though she'll be leaving but I absolutely love the uchi personality and am so glad I was able to talk more with a villager that has it.

So yeah that's how I ended up with who I have now. As for my other dreamies that didn't change...
Rosie was a starter (I wanted to keep at least one starter) it was either her or Tom but since I wanted Chief in my town and he was a fellow cranky Rosie ended up sticking around.
Mitzi was my first love in Wild World. She was a starter in the game and I was devastated when she moved to my brothers town. Haha I always wished she would move away from his town but she didn't.
Chief as mentioned before was my favourite in City Folk I really grew attached to him but after not playing for several weeks I went on ready to visit his house and he was gone :c
Zell I met on a cycling thread where someone posted a picture of him along with that he was in boxes. I googled him and instantly wanted him in my town ^^
Punchy was probably the first cat on the list I had never met before but absolutely loved to pieces. I could never find him on cycling threads and didn't have the bells to buy him so I often visited dream address with him in them haha.
Marshal I wasn't really fussed over at the start but after meeting him in a dream town he was instantly added to the list.
Lolly I'm still not that into but I've never met her in a dream town or even one of my friends towns. For now she's just kind of a cat that's kind of just drifting along.

Hmm... Here's mine:
Julian: He moved in after a while and I fell in love with him!
Avery: He shares a personality and name with me. Plus I had him for a while in ACCF.
Savannah: I like her design, and I had her in ACWW in one of my towns.
Kid Cat: He was a starter and I just couldn't part with him.
Rosie: I had her in ACWW and missed her ever since! When I found out about buying villagers, I saved up my money ASAP!
Erik: I haven't had him that long, but I really like his design. I remember when I went to Yellowstone and saw a ton of elk. They are pretty cool creatures.

 

[Bradski]

Looks and personalities pretty much, i only played wild world before this and i was so young i paid 0 attention to my villagers whatsoever.

 

[Diclonius217]

Honestly, I just scrolled through the wiki so many times and just latched on to the ones I thought looked cool. As you can see from my signature, I have a pretty basic taste in villagers, but the only ones people offer me for are Goldie and Stitches, who are NEVER leaving my town. EVER. Other than that, Ozzie, Pate and Soleil were starters (Savannah and Del were starters but moved </3) Mint and Poncho were natural move-ins and the rest were adopted.

 

[Mccraig02]

First off, New Leaf was my very first animal crossing games and it was one of the best purchases ever! To be honest, I picked my dreamies depending on how they looked!

 

[Darumy]

lookin at tha wiki all like dang that hot i wanna pieec o'dat furry booty n i got me th e booty


lookin at tha tradin plazin bein all like aw man whas this oh dang tha's a fine booty i wanna pece of tha booty i get tha booty 100% free n love 'em to booty fine hell



Whoops my hand slipped.

 

[ashubii]

I think mira is really cute bc of how she was apparently inspired by sailor venus

She was in my old town! I loved her The little red star on the back of her head is beyond cute!

I'd love to make my town look pretty and then have a nice dream town full of all the deer that people can visit and explore!

Love, love, love this so much! I was so happy when I found out New Leaf had deer, and my first ever deer villager was Deirdre, so I just adore her. An ex-boyfriend let her move out, though, from an old town >.> Needless to say we aren't dating anymore.

Lol, nah, we broke up for other reasons, but I did refuse to talk to him that night :|

So I chose the villagers I definitely wouldn't want to leave, and ruled out the ones that I decided could leave. I still kinda like the villagers, but if they naturally decided to leave I'd let them go.

This is basically what I did, even though only two of my villagers who moved in naturally I plan to keep. I like several of the others, but if they decide to move they can certainly go.

Drago - He's a dragon!!!!!

I almost put him as a dream villager! Would have been cute to have him with Julian in my town. Maybe if he shows up naturally, or in a campsite (once I build it) I'll keep him.

 

[OliviaTheCreep]

I usually chose them on how cute I thought they looked while I visited other peoples towns c:

 

[ashubii]

Francine & Chrissy: I ALWAYS wanted the twin bunnies to live in my town at the same time since the GC ver. Now I have them both in my town... so adorable ; u ;

I have Francine- and I adore her- but I think if she chooses to move I'm going to let her go.

 

[DarkFox7]

My dreamies are my favorites of each personality based on looks! I have two personalities with two different villagers, Smug and Normal, but that's because you can have 10 villagers. I have Goldie and Flurry for my normals and Kyle and Marshal for my smugs but Goldie and Kyle are my favorites

 

[kasane]

If it wasn't for TBT, I would never have found out about Marshal, Merengue, Zucker, and all of the other Tier One/Two villagers XD

Let me list them off...
- Marshal: Popular in demand, and who doesn't love a white albino like Akise-kun fluffy squirrel? imo, that is...
- Merengue: I like strawberries and I like cake. paafekuto
- Zucker: HE'S A TAKOYAKI!
- Octavian: It was a tie between Chief and Octavian, I didn't actually mind who I got, but I got Octavian first
- Francine: She's a bright cyan bunny~ and I like how Chrissy is the 'inverse' of her
- Chrissy: Found out about her from Francine, and I wanted her so I could make the Bubblegum K.K. duo! Unfortunately, due to me not playing and checking who's thinking about leaving, Isabelle told me she was going to leave the next day ;n;
- Genji: Probably one of the only Jocks that I like, apart from Bam. His house is Japanese oriented, and his catchphrase is 'otaku'
- Pietro: I found him through a video, and I found that he has a love-hate argument from haters and lovers. I find him to be quite cute, being a colorful rainbow sheep :3
- Coco: She was my Normal Villager Dreamie before Merengue, but I decided on Merengue. After moving Lucky out, I found that someone had a giveaway on Coco, and I didn't want her to go into the void, so I took her in. I love her because she looks really unique, similar to a gyroid. A bit creepy, yes, but she is awesome!
- Tammy: Well, I lost Phoebe due to a TT'ing accident, and I needed an Uchi fast. Little cubs ftw~

My final list of dreamies is a combination of villagers I've loved in previous games, villagers I like the look/idea of but haven't had before and villagers that happened to move into my town that I have grown attached to. I definitely don't choose based entirely on looks, though of course I will generally only like and get attached to animals I find cute. There are a lot of nice looking villagers, however, so out of those I pick the ones that have some sort of special meaning to me.

 

[Noel]

Appearance-wise. If they didn't suit my expectations, I don't think I could stand seeing them in my town then.

Villager Discovery

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is my first game in the series, so I am totally new to all of these "dreamies" and other hip lingos and jargons on this site. I'm also pretty new in choosing my dreamies. While my method of picking dreamies isn't the most creative or efficient, I will share it anyway. XD

Most of my dreamies were present when I first moved into my village; they were my first villagers and I got to know them the best, so in a sense I didn't have to look for dreamies since they were all there. That was until I discovered the wiki and their archive of all the AC villagers. That's how I met Mott~. And later Julien. In short, the wiki helped me pick out my favorites and my dreamies.

Again, it's not the most riveting way of discovering your dreamies, but there you have my ways. =3

 

[LinDUNguin]

It was a mix of looks, personal experience with villagers (from past games and in NL), convenience, and making sure the villager would fit in with the rest of my town

 

[Nouris]

For the most part I chose them if they could be eaten - McFlurry, Takoyaki, Merengue, Kalamari, Tea...

The others I chose because of appearances / past experience

 

[Ami Mercury]

I almost put him as a dream villager! Would have been cute to have him with Julian in my town. Maybe if he shows up naturally, or in a campsite (once I build it) I'll keep him.

Campsite is actually how I got Drago in the first place!

 

[ashubii]

Campsite is actually how I got Drago in the first place!

I'm a bit hesitant to build mine just yet (I think it can't be deleted?), because my town is still super new and I haven't even fully planned out where I want everything Dx (I made two different maps to help me plan out my town).

- - - Post Merge - - -

For the most part I chose them if they could be eaten - McFlurry, Takoyaki, Merengue, Kalamari, Tea...

That would be beyond cute for a food or candy themed town :O
