Overrated and Underrated villagers

I personally think Jeremiah and Hamphrey are seriously underrated. I'll admit, when Jeremiah first moved to my town, (he was from a streetpass) I was like...why....

But!

After becoming friends with him I fell in love! He is soooo cute and really sweet. I let him move because I wanted other villagers, but my boyfriend took him so I could visit him! :) And Hamphrey is my best buddy. He is so funny and cute :)

Also, Jitters is really sweet and cute as well!
Omg i felt the same way months ago. I had jeremiah and jitters, and they gave their pictures <3
 
Overrated: Whitney, An absolutle mean person when I talked to her in my friend's town
Under: Melba is very sweet and kind Marcel is like making Pietro a dog. I also like Katt who is just everything.
 
Overated: Marshal, meh he's OK. It's just that he's EVERYWHERE in the ACNL community. I'm surprised that Nintendo didn't make a plushie out of him yet.
Underrated: .....Rooney.....
 
I really like the goat villagers, and I think they are under-appreciated, imo. I like Kidd a lot, Nan, and also Pashmina. I am partial to the smaller villagers, though, like the deers. (The only exception being Tia, she was an awesome elephant!)
 
Over rated: Merengue ICK I am sorry if you like her but I had her in my town... HATED HER!

Under rated: Dora (A mouse) I love her! Despite the name she is one of my faves!

I personally don't get all the hate I'm seeing toward Julian. I love him, and yes part of it is because he's a unicorn. But the other part of it is the fact that of all the villagers, he seems to be the most likely to be a "gay" villager. And I'm gay myself so... yeah. Sue me for being slightly appreciative of it.

I find Merengue and Marshal to both be extremely overrated. I get why they're liked for some people, but the amount of attention they get baffles me. As for underrated - definitely Freckles. She's so adorable!!! But I think I've only ever seen ONE other person who actually likes her
 
I think Willow is totally an underrated villager! I had her since I first started my town and I have loved her ever since! Her personality is the best, her clothes and home are nice, her voice is sooooo cute! (#^u^#) She has it all honestly! Plush she is so fat and cuteeee~!!!! I don't understand why more people don't like her :(

I also think Julian, Rosie, and Erik are sooo overrated! I don't see what the fuss over them is.....But hey: "different strokes for different folks" :P I just don't really understand...I get Julian is the only unicorn and Rosie is a cute cat but really that's all...As far as I've seemed they are kind of boring :/ I don't even know why some people like Erik, he think he's pretty ugly. I like having cute villagers, haha!
 
Overrated: Julian (I like him. But he's everywhere)
Underrated: Curlos (THIS POOFY LITTLE MEXICAN BALL OF SHEEP LOVE NEEDS MORE ATTENTION)
 
Overrated: Stitches and Marshal; Okay, Stitches is kinda cute, but Marshal is a tad ugly x:
Underrated: Biskit, I'm surprised he's not that popular.
 
I think Nana the normal monkey is underrated. She's so cute! <3 I want to have her in my town, no matter if she's a Tier 5 villager or not.
 
Overrated: Merengue and Julian.
Underrated: Rudy, Agent S, and to an extent, Pudge.
Okay guys, so why did you necro a year-old thread?

This was my list from a little under a year ago. It's changed, so I'll go ahead and add some stuff to my lists.
Overrated: Merengue, Julian, Lolly, Marshal, Coco, Muffy, Zucker, Sprinkle, Drago, and Ruby
Underrated: Bree, Agent S, Cousteau, Eugene, Roscoe, Bones, and Hopper
 
Seriously, the most underrated villager is Sheldon. The only time I've ever seen him in game was in my campsite. I have never seen any village with him in it. What's up with that?
 
Overrated - Marshal. I don't hate him, but I really don't understand how he could ever be more adorable than many other villagers.

Underrated - Walt, Axel, Ozzie, Sly... There's too many to name, but guh. There are so many villagers that deserve more attention.

As for underrated - definitely Freckles. She's so adorable!!! But I think I've only ever seen ONE other person who actually likes her
Oh gosh, I love Freckles! I had her in one of my old towns, she was such a little sweetie.
 
The only overated villager that i dont quite understand is Pietro? Honestly he kind of scares me, Like I dont mess with clowns sorry bud :/

I think theres many underrated villagers! Like Kitt and Kidd! Two villagers who I absolutely adore in my town~

Oh my god, I love those two. Especially Kitt.
I have no idea why she gets no attention in the fandom, like seriously.
She's so precious.
 
Overrated:
Zucker - He has taken a tumble in popularity recently but still I don't understand how he was ever in tier one. He's so ugly imo.
Lucky - I've began to warm up to him but he used to creep me out a bit.

Underrated:
Gladys - I'm super biased but she's just so cute and her house is cool to, plus she's based off a tale from Japanese mythology. She's so cool, I wish more people would pay attention to her.
Purrl - She's one of my newer villagers but she's so adorable, I can't believe she's on the cusp of falling into tier five.
