Limited list of starting villagers?

[History]

Skye cant be in the first 5.

Ummmm... Pretty sure she was one of my first 5, so i don't know where you get that from.

Skye cant be in the first 5.

False. I got her in 1st 5 while resetting yesterday. Also you should be banned for spreading misinformation as if you knew it to be fact. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I've got Molly and Felicity in my starting 5. I'm sure one of them is now an Uchii personality. I also got Rooney the blue kangaroo and my friends have gotten Julian and one of the octupi (can't remember which one though)

Molly is normal and Felicity is peppy.

Molly is normal and Felicity is peppy.

Ah, thank you. I can never really tell the difference.

I did reset so many times... and I never got a smug or uchi starter. So yes, I guess these personality types are the ones that move in later on.
I also noticed... if you get for example peppy, jock, lazy, normal and cranky as starters... the next three villagers moving in will be the missing personality types -> snooty, smug and uchi in no particular order. The 9th personality will be random and the 10th is a camper, so that one's random aswell.

In past games though, when one of the villagers moved out leaving your town lacking of one personality, the new villager would always be of the same personality type. (if you didn't play online with someone else) If your only peppy villager moves out, the new villager will be a peppy one to keep the balance.
I think that's different in NL. Nibbles, my only peppy villager, moved out (I had 9 villagers at that time, I didn't have the campsite), but the new one replacing her was Vesta, a normal villager, although I never visited someone else or had any visitors! I already had a normal one at that time, too, Ava!
So... I think it's pretty random once you got to experience all the personality types?

Agree completely with all that you have said.. found the same from reading around aswell
I had: Snooty, Peppy, Normal, Jock & Cranky as my original 5
Got a lazy sixth villager
Uchi seventh
Smug eighth.

Julian

I haven't seen anyone get Julian.. You know the blue unicorn so.. Maybe him?

I have gotten Julian as a starter

 

[leftTBT]

I remember Lucky and Marcel being neighbours that would NEVER be one of your first 8 on City Folk. It's probably the same here in New Leaf.

That's probably just because they're both Lazies, though.
edit: oh, nvm, I think I misunderstood you

I had read that you can't get smug as 'default' villagers (which I took to mean starters) but who knows!
I started a new town today, after hours of resets I think my starters are: Rosie, Naomi, Peck, Bettina and Boomer. I'm keeping Rosie since I was going to get her anyway but she's not in the best spot, I'm so tired from map swapping though and it's 2am, I finally got a decent map, peaches and at least one friendly face waiting for me so I think I'm done!

Edit: I don't recall seeing any smug or uchi villagers in my starters all day, I may have missed a smug but there certainly wern't any uchis!

 

[Nunnafinga]

You can't get smugs,uchis or octopuses as part of a starting set of five villagers in a new town.They can move in later to fill up the remaining four spots.

In my very first NL town Fauna was an O-G and lived right next to me

Interesting! I didn't know that
