Most overrated and underrated villagers?

I actually don't like alot of the popular ones like Marshal and Judy.

Fauna, Beau and Erik always seem to get the attention for the reindeer, but Bam is best deer.

Everyone loves Raymond, Bob and Anhka, but no one talks about Rudy much.

I often see people ranking Gaston as one of the uglies too. But his grumpy face makes him adorbs imo.
 
Raymond and Marshal are overrated. Although, I actually do love Marshal. I suppose Fauna is too. Ankha is not my cup of tea either. Raymond too.

I think Aurora, Jacques, Bones, Maddie, June are all underrated. I also really like Poncho and Kitty.

Don’t even get me started on Savannah. Sometimes I think people forget she’s even a villager.

I don't understand Raymond, his house isn't good.
Marshal and Fuana just seems bland.
I just can't seem to ever like Jullian.
Not a fan of a lot of the popular ones.
The sanrio designs are meh, though I do like their items. I think of all of them, I'd only ever move in Toby if I did.

Rowan, Rudy, Dotty, Katt, Purrl, Tabby, Weber are some I can think of I don't see around often. I actually see a lot of people hating on Tabby, but I really enjoy her.

Man, there are so many that could go on both list, but I'll leave it at those.
 
I will continue to spread the good word about Anchovy, and hope that it takes hold in people's hearts.

I mean, look at him:

As far as overrated villagers I've personally never been a huge fan of Diana or Fauna - and I know how popular they are. The thing is, I can see in their design why people would like them, but I never really personally wanted them on my island
 
raymond is super duper cute and i really want him, but the hype around him around release felt a little too ... much? it gave me flashbacks to my onceler days. brrrr.
 
Personally, I think Judy is a bit overated as well as Octavian. I also think there are a lot of underated villagers including, Phoebe, Willow, Caroline, Croque, and Soleil.
 
I rarely see Midge mentioned and that's a shame, because despite her not so great name, she is such a pretty bird. The birds in general don't get much love. Twiggy is a sweetheart. I'm also really fond of the mice. Broccolo is very cute along with Penelope and Dora. Chadder, Greta, and Rod have awesome designs. And Winnie... a cute horse with a star on her head is darling. I really like Victoria, Cleo, and Annalise, too. Tipper, Willow, Bertha, and Butch are all great. There's a lot of underappreciated villagers.

Overrated? I don't know, they have wide appeal for good reasons. Maybe some of the new villagers, because they seem more popular just because they are new, but I can see the appeal of those, too.
 
any villager with strong eyebrows is excellent in my book.

i really love tybalt and i'm surprised more folks aren't into him. he's adorable. maybe the jocks just don't generate the same kind of fanbase? i think they're goofy and cute in acnh.
 
Overrated: Marshal, Raymond, Judy, Sherb, Coco, Dom, Lily, Molly, and Zucker. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Underrated: Ozzie, Ricky, Coach, Nate, Beardo (yeah I said it), Hornsby, Boone, Peewee, Gonzo, Stu, Jambette, Shari, and Hopkins.
 
Raymond is probably overrated but I love him anyway. I don't love him more than the other smugs though.

I think Rizzo is underrated. Rizzo is so cool. A big cranky personality in a little old mouse.
 
Overrated: Marshal (yes, I know I have him.), Francine & Chrissy (together, not alone), Poppy (she is way more popular than the other normal squirrels, I've seen others say she's underrated..she is far from that!), Judy, Raymond, Diana, Dom, Fauna, Stitches and Sherb.
Slightly overrated: Maple, Molly (like her), Pekoe, Merry (liked her before this game, still do lol), Bob (like him), Lolly (like her), Audie and Beau.

I see these guys in random dream towns all the time together (especially the first group I mentioned). If I hear one more Bubblegum K.K..I'm going to scream.

Underrated: The other normal squirrels, Mice villagers, Claude, Barold (Yeah, I said it), Ricky, Hazel, Agent S, Nibbles, Megan, Sheldon, The other Sheep villagers (minus Étoile) and etc.

Willow is heavily underrated! And I personally think Sherb is way overrated... he is fine but to... normal? I think
 
i actually like the vast majority of the popular villagers but imo, raymond is the most overrated of them all. but y’know what? that’s perfectly okay! even though i’m personally not all that fond of him, he’s a cool dude and i’m glad that people like him! plus,, we have him to thank for this iconic meme;

as for underrated villagers, there are literally so many of them??? i’d be here for hours if i tried to talk about them all so i’ll just gush about mention my faves for the time being. :’)

margie - i am 100% biased but margie is genuinely amazing and i’m so mad at how underrated she is. i thought that she’d be more popular seeing as how she was in the ac movie but she’s such a sweetheart and she deserves way more love. 🥺
sprinkle - again, i am 100% biased but i would gladly take a bullet for her if i had to. while she’s one of the more popular peppy villagers, i still don’t see her get mentioned all that often which feels like a crime since she’s so good. i honestly smile every time that i see her.
moe - he definitely gets overshadowed by other lazy + cat villagers but moe’s lovely! i’ve had him in both new leaf and new horizons and he’s an absolute treasure to have around. plus, his interior is super cute!
maggie - she’s so cute?? i would die for her.
fuchsia - again, she’s one of the more popular uchi villagers but i still think that she deserves way more love! she’s such a vibrant gal and i love having her around.
rudy - petition for him to receive more love or else i’ll have no choice but to commit a crime. he’s such an angel. 🥺

i am probably missing,, so many villagers but these are the main ones that i can think of rn. 😅
 
I dont know if there is such a thing as over rated as all villagers have charm and appeal.

Apart from molly. She's the only and only villager I dont understand the appeal for at all.
She looks like a generic duck you would see on some cheap book for toddlers. She has no character or charm or appeal to me.

Every other villager though I can understand the love for.

As for under rated I would have to have to go with every villager who does not have the community attention.

But I would like to give special mention to Sheldon as he is so amazing and cute and I don't see him mentioned at all, or ever see him on people's islands when dreaming.
Its like he doesnt exist but he's my favourite squirrel
 
These 3 squirrels.
3 of them.jpg


I feel all 3 of them (and some other Squirrels) get so overshadowed by Marshal that even though you see Squirrels at the top of many people's species lists... most of them still don't get brought up often. Sheldon takes the crown though as he's a super cute little guy Jock with a cool mushroom interior but still most cottage or fairy core players ignore his existence. Peanut and Filbert get some love, but I do feel they could use more especially with the mountain of love Marshal gets despite not even having a cute nose.

Alright, Raymond is overrated, I see the appeal with the different colored eyes thing but come on 100000000 million bells? Zucker is kind of overrated but he is still one of my favorites, marina and Octavian are also a bit overrated, ( yes they are the only three octopuses but that's not grounds to call them the best thing since sliced bread) Judy I don't get at all, Cherry is a punk rock dog, and I love rock so Cherry makes sense for me, but I can see the arguments, sherb is cute but not that good (sensing a trend with newly introduced villagers) and I don't understand the popularity behind Skye, her eyes are unsettling, as for underrated, Julia is great, Stu is an amazing bull but gets overlooked because of the rest of the species, (same with Bianca in the Tigers) Shep is a bit underrated, ( he's kind of popular but not significantly) and finally, Velma, I mean she's a walking Scooby Doo reference, anyone who grew up with the show probably thinks she's alright but the amount of hate she gets is unjust ( really only problem I have is why snooty? That's not very character accurate) anyway there's my opinion, carry on with life
 
I guess I would say Judy is a bit overrated, maybe because I'm not really into that color pallet much.

Underrated there's plenty lol, but I would Cyd, Flora, Nan, and stella
