Questions about returning/leaving villagers

[Mayor Justin]

When you make a resident mad enough, will they leave? Is it random?

Can you convince a resident to move back in if they visit the shopping area?

If you push a resident out by making them mad will they ever visit the shopping area again?

thanks in advance!

I think I heard somewhere that it's completely random on who moves out.
To get someone to move back in, you have to pass a 16 villager cycle. Where 16 villagers move in and out. Until the cycle is passed, you can't get a villager back, and you don't convince them through the shopping area.
As far on my experiences, all villagers that moved out have shown up in my shopping place. Even this one stupid ape that I absolutely hated o:<

Actually, from what I've read, making them mad won't make them angry at you. Instead, it makes them better friends with you. It counts as talking. As the the shopping area, yeah they'll visit again. But you can't ask them to move back from the shopping district. They can only come back once you've completed the 16-villager cycle.

Can either of you elaborate on the villager cycle?

The game cart stores 16 villagers on it's memory. If the villager is in the system memory, they won't move back in. Once you move out 16 villagers after the villager you want moves out. Once there's 16 come and gone, you can ask said villager back to your town.
