even though i have and enjoy so many of the popular villagers (my signature is out of date, marshal has joined the ranks too lol) i will agree that some of them are waaay overhyped. i mean, they are cute villagers so i understand it but damn that little squirrel has it made.
on the flip side i do have sooo many villagers i do enjoy that i think should be more popular. i've really fallen for avery lately, and i'm really into villagers like gigi, groucho, rolf and ellie. also carmen!!! i wish i didn't already have 2 peppys who are never leaving me because she is sooo cute with her lil gap teeth. god i hope we get more villager slots some day.

I have a mixture of several popular villagers - Raymond, Judy, Sherb, Whitney, mixed with less popular such as Tasha, Sprinkle and Melba.
I can see why the popular ones are popular but my little Tasha is such a lovely skunk and, I feel, very overlooked in the villager stakes.

TAD! He’s so underrated, and simple and adorable he’s my 1# dreamie. Pudge is adorable and I think he is underrated and so is my girl, mint. Midge is adorable too and deserves the love.

I love Groucho he’s so amazing and cute for a cranky.
TBH, I don't find any overrated. Judy or Raymond seem like an obvious answer (and I'm guessing are mentioned a lot here, I'm not reading the posts because seeing people bash villagers bums me out) but both have really cute qualities (Judy has what many would consider pretty colors, as well as a very expressive and lovely face, and Raymond also has a darling face, super cute eyes, that cute hair tuft, and cute glasses) that make them pretty obvious favorites. I mean, are there some people who'll jump on board any hyped up villager just to be part of the crowd? Sure. But that's an issue with the person, not the villagers (I mean, not a big issue with the person, I certainly went through that phase when I was younger).
As for underrated... Paula and Ursala jump to the top of my mind immediately. Both are favorites of mine and yet I NEVER see people talk about them! Ursala especially (though Paula's little toof, visible in my avatar, is almost unbearably precious... pun not intended, but now I'm owning it). Ursala is one of my top favorites, along with Dobie. When I first came on this forum, people were sharing tier lists of villagers. Dobie was in the top or second tier of almost all the lists I saw for crankies and I was like, "Well, DUH, he's perfect" but then... I saw Ursala was near the BOTTOM, if not in the VERY bottom tier for sisterlies! I am genuinely baffled as to why. Her face, her hair, her freckles, her expression... all flawless. I mean, LOOK at this gorgeous girl (and I'll toss in my Paula photoshoot, too):
Both are PRECIOUS. And both totally fit the sisterly personality. I mean, sisterlies are sort of gruff on the outside, but sweet and intensely caring on the inside... what could possibly fit that better than a BEAR? TBH, I think sisterlies in general are underrated. I feel like I see so many people saying "sisterlies aren't my favorite, I don't like any of the sisterlies, etc." but I think that's totally unfair. Maybe it's because I feel like I kind of fit it, lol, but I find their personality to be... well, honestly, the best. They're just so fun to talk to and pal around with!
Another underrated one (and, yes, I have more photoshoots) is Shep. I mean, he seems pretty popular, but I rank him up there with Raymond (Raymond slightly more, just because I'm a cat person). But Shep is a handsome fella and, IMO, the top dog (Mac is a close second, and Lucky is great but I'm not sure I even consider him a dog as much as just a creepy villager, lol). The way his hair covers his eyes is SO cute. When I had him on my island, after finding him on a Nook Miles island, I fell completely in love (in fact, I'm considering moving him back at some point he's just so cute, lol). I feel like a lot of dogs look kind of top heavy with their heads, but Shep's hair makes his head feel more... IDK, appropriately sized? It also adds a bit more of a unique feeling to him, which most dogs lack IMO (don't get me wrong, the dogs are nice, but many feel interchangeable to me for some reason). Also, if you thought he totally lacked eyes... you would be wrong:
(this is one of my favorite photoshoots, lol) As you can see, he has tiny eyes hiding under his fur. But one gets revealed when he's surprised or really excited! Also, I love the fact that his hobby is education. Not only does it fit him well (in my head, I had a backstory that he was one of a litter of kids on a farm, but left to see the world and learn as much as he could, as seen in my photoshoot), but it means he often wears glasses. EVERY TIME I saw him in those glasses I'd laugh and be like, "Really? THAT'S what's going to improve your eyesight?" but I could totally see him saying something like "I CAN'T cut my hair! It's most of my personality!" So, yah. Super cute and underrated.
Next, Bonbon. I can't remember when I first saw her, but when I did, I remember thinking "What a unique villager!" And I still think that. I mean, her face is just so different from other villagers. Her eyes especially feel unique. And she just looks like someone really put a lot of thought into her. I mean, her unique eyes, her cute hair, rosy cheeks that match her eyeshadow, and her best feature- that PRECIOUS crooked smile! She is just such a lovely gal. Here's a photoshoot I did, though I just realized all of the pics have her eyes closed/covered... oops!:
And last but not least, Vic. Now, I just realized I forgot to do a photoshoot with him (just another reason I think I'm going to bring him back at some point, he's just an epic villager). One of my favorite things to do with villagers is make up backstories for them, and Vic was one of the most fun and also easiest. In my mind, he was the first villager on the island (again, in my story, not really), having shipwrecked there long before Nook and friends arrived. He knew and warned the villagers about the island's haunted history, and also told them stories of his sailing days. In fact, one of my side characters once sailed with him! He had his own little corner of the island with washed up barrels and the remains of his ships (like the wheel). And... now I REALLY want him back, lol. I think I'll move him in once I'm done with Sprocket (if... anyone knows of a shop with him, or has his Amiibo, lemme know!) Anyway, enough about my story. He also has a fantastic look. While I forgot to do a photoshoot, here's him telling scary stories in the town holiday pic:
You can't see it in that pic, but he has the most GORGEOUS pale blue eyes. It seems like most villagers I've seen have dark eyes, which make his baby blues stand out that much more. Plus, his whole viking/sailor look is fab. The beard really ties it together... and the little freckles soften it up in a delightful way. Also, I love how he has a default helmet... but can still put proper hats on top of it. Honestly, he's just a fantastic viking bull for any island, but also FULL of possibilities for people who like to have stories for their villagers!
Anyway, I could go on and on about my favorite villagers that I feel like deserve more recognition... but I also feel like this post is probably gonna be big enough already, so I'll stop here, lol.

I mean, I don't really believe any villager is overated, or underated, esspecially after being here. Same as I dont believe in rare and common villagers. The rarest villager is your dream villager.
Pretty much everyone here has liked one villager, but if lots of people like them, then they become overated? Any villager can be overated after being here. I've come across many different people who like one animal alot, and others do too. I can safely say that I've seen people are great on here, most wont judge you
So it's fine? If you dont wanna hear about someone talking about how they love a villager you hear alot about, and personally dont like then dont listen in, or just ignore it. Don't go on saying that you hear too much about them. Because then its just a down fall on who really likes that villager, cause then they feel like they don't fit in. Soo, then they might never talk, or change up their island so they have villagers less spoken of.
Honestly I barely see rants, or conversations about villagers of any kind here, as in "Opinion on so and so*. The most you see is when people wanna see who you have, or list them. Then it gets unfair-
Soo then you see someone has got Raymond, then see Rodney too. You go on phraising them for having Rodney, then question for having Raymond because you see him all over Twitter. Why? You asked to see the villagers. Dont go on judging because you see the grey cat. Rodney has a whole hate group on reddit, and in a away so does Raymond. They're both Smugs, they talk exactly the same, they both get incredibly angry if you are mean to them (I've gotten trash from Raymond lol) The only thing that's different is their appearance, and species.
Whitney has more attention then Vivian, That's fine? I guess people want a white wolf, apposed to a tan-yellowish one. Not because they dispise Vivian. Their both wolves, both snooty. Comes down to appearence most of the time. Some people like Audie more then Skye, because they love peppy personalities, or Audie in general, not usually on *popularity*. Some people like Skye more then Freya, just because they like them, or just want them. Not usually because they wanna show off that they like less spoken of villagers.
(Skye is so cute, I barely hear much about her though)
I've learned to just like who I like, and have whoever I want. Sure some of mine are more spoken about then others, but I love them. Im not changing them. I got no dislike for any villager. So in my opinion the overated, and underated villagers are all villagers. All equal.

So, I won’t get too much into Marshall— needless to say, I personally enjoy him, but I understand those who do not.
In terms of overrated, I agree with others about Raymond and Fauna. I had both at one point, and just did not get the hype. Very bland and not my taste. I actually ended up booting Fauna for Deirdre, who I find a bit more edgier and interesting, given her uchi personality. Also, Judy— I see no appeal in her, but maybe I am just not in her demographic.
As for underrated, I agree with an earlier post about Curly— he was my first villager, and think he is fine. It surprises me how low he is on various rankings. I am no fan of jock personalities, but I don’t see how Curly is any different than other jocks.

I have a few of the overrated villagers - Audie, Raymond and Marshal. Only Marshal came from amiibo, I swear! Also, whilst I knew he was popular, I just needed a small villager with a house that could be incorporated into my plans, and Marshal was the only amiibo I had that would work for this. He replaced Graham, who I liked, but his house wouldn't fit my new theme and I didn't want 2 of the same species, having finally obtained my little fave, Flurry <3 Audie was just the first villager I ever encountered on a mystery island. I couldn't believe it was her! She doesn't have the tiki bar house interior because of this, but I actually prefer her homely interior. I like her a lot, so despite her not really fitting in to the overall theme of my island, I built a little rural area, just for her and Shari haha.
I've also had Judy, Lucky and Coco in my campsite randomly, so I guess I'm just charmed haha. However, I think Lucky and Coco are really overrated. I get that they would fit on a spooky island though, and I like to see what people have done creatively in that respect, but personally I don't like them nor would I want to talk to them every day haha. I also think Stitches is very overrated. I got given 2 amiibos of Stitches for my birthday and instantly gave one away and recently gave the other away as I will never use it. I don't like the octopus villagers (I am phobic of them irl) at all and can't get behind the love they seem to get.
As for underrated...well obviously Flurry haha. She's become like my surrogate child ffs haha. I fell in love with her in NL, but now I find myself seeing the clothes on display at the tailors and thinking "aww that would look cute on Flurry" and buying it for her. She looked like Minnie Mouse the other day in a red and white spotted shirt, so I gave her a big black bow to go with it xD It was adorable. She actually replaced Molly, who I liked well enough, but again her house was an issue and I wasn't super attached. My bf has Molly anyway, so I can always visit her haha.
Flurry gets her own paragraph, but others I think are underrated are Gigi, Ken, Avery, Anneliese, Filbert, Cally, Freckles and all the mice, monkeys/gorillas and kangaroos. I guess like how I am about octopuses might be the reason for people hating the mice, but I kinda like them. I love the kangaroos, though I wish they would acknowledge their babies haha. I've never had a gorilla, but I want to! I've had loads of monkeys over the years and I've never disliked any of them. I have Shari, who was one of my starters, and I really like her, especially her CONSTANT singing at random items haha.

Yesssss!
rasher is sooo underrated. i didn't even know he existed until i met him in the villagers wiki. his design was so cool and i loved his personality. i love him so much, i'm fond of him! i remember he was my dreamie since i couldnt find him at all lol
underrated? i guess marshal. he's cute and i like him, but i see him everywhere! also, some "top tier" villagers really dig the smug personality, uh?
