Limited list of starting villagers?

[Treasu(red)]

A while back I thought I read somewhere that there are certain villagers in the game that will never show up in ANYONE's first 5. They have to move in after the town is created. Can anyone confirm this? I'm currently on the hunt for Fauna and Margie in my 2nd file and am worried I might be wasting my time.

I've never heard of this... I think you can get Fauna and Margie as starters; I think I've seen if before. I don't know of a confirmed list, so I'm not really sure if there is one. I'm pretty sure you're not wasting your time! Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though!

I have no way of answering you but reading this gave me a suggestion...maybe you can start a thread asking what people got as starting villagers! That way at least you can rule out some possibilities.

 

[Treasu(red)]

This is actually a great suggestion. I'm a massive AC fan and doing a little data collection to help confirm/deny that rumor would be my pleasure.

I got Fauna as a starter!

I got Fauna as a starter!

I LOVE YOU. Thank you omg lol. That alone is massively, massively helpful.

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.

 

[Kluke]

No prob! Good luck, you'll love her like me

In Wild world/CF it was proven there were villagers that couldn't be obtained as starter villagers, so i wonder if its true.. In Wild world the Monkeys/Octopus couldn't and superheroes, but i got a monkey and superhero as starters in this one, so i wonder whih ones are

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

 

[Gizmodo]

I think you cant get Uchi and Smug as originals

I remember reading somewhere that someone got Julian as a starting villager.

I never played City Folk, but in the Gamecube version and wild world it wasn't possible to get anteaters, kangaroos, octopi, or ostriches as starting villagers. Certain others never seem to show up either, such as Lucky, Coco, Kabuki, Ribbot, Genji, Snake, and the superheros and former islanders in Wild World.


All of the above except possibly the Octopi can be potential starters in New Leaf as long as they aren't one of the new personalities.

I got Fauna in my first 5 and in WW Margie was one of my first 3. Things could have changed though. But I don't think there's a limit on who the first 5 could be.

You can't start with Smug/Uchi/Octopi in New Leaf.
Iv'e gotten Fauna & margie during my restarts so many times lol you will get one of them trust me.

 

[MadCake]

I think the octopi and the rare animal types aren't exactly obtainable in the beginning.

Marcel was in my starting 5. ^^

Some of you guys are wrong.. In my wild world town i started with an octopus soo many times and a bunch of the other ones you said you can't get like lucky, i always get him. I don't think there is any evidence for any of this other than people just assuming stuff.

 

[mayortash]

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)

Skye cant be in the first 5.
