I haven't reset in New Leaf, but I have quite a few times in other games. But usually just because I stopped playing, and when I picked it up again, I had weeds everywhere and all that fun stuff. (yay Beautiful Town ordinance! xD)
But I've been more active in New Leaf, and had no plans for it. For a while I just went along with it, seeing who moved in and letting everything just happen. But eventually I was like "wow.. I actually want to keep these villagers" and so now I have a dreamie list. It's also nice to see the history of my town while sitting in front of my town tree (that still needs to grow >:/ )
