Villagers you don’t understand the (un)popularity of

[hopeworld]

I honestly don't understand why Raymond is so popular, maybe it is because I already have Marshal but since I found Raymond like a month ago he has just been... Meh. Yeah, his little fangs are cute and I like the design of his room but he shouldn't be as popular as he is.

I agree with you about Agent S! My sister has both Kid Kat and Agent S on her town, both houses next to one another and it is so precious. I love the peppy personality on her!

I'm literally trying to get a dog island ATM have Walker, Cherry, and Butch so far, with an offer for cookie.

Don't know how unique villagers like Static, Eugene, Raddle, Hans, Tia and Tucker are being slept on while the same few villagers pillage every town.

Raymond I don't really like but I can see the appeal to him.
I don't understand the appeal of Sherb, I've said it before, but he just looks like a generic blue goat to me.

Since when was Tia unpopular? I don't understand why people are calling Tia unpopular when she clearly isn't, she's actually very popular among the community and in general the most popular elephant.

Also people are saying that villagers like Fuchsia or Static aren't popular is sorta untrue because compared to other villagers they're pretty popular among fans, the only reason they are lower is because people prefer other villagers of the same species to them such as for Static he's most likely overshadowed by Marshal similar to all the squirrels, and for Fuchsia she has alot of competition with Beau, Diana, and Fauna who are all the most popular deer.

I don’t get why Gladys isn’t more popular! She’s so cute! Same with Curlos. Curlos is best boy

I don’t understand the hype over Audie tbh, I find peppy villagers to be SUPER annoying.

I think that Judy isn't as good as everyone else seems to think I just feel like her design and her kawaii shoujo eyes don't really work.

I also was surprised to see that Chadder got hate??? I love Chadder! He made me like smug villagers. His design is unique and I like the gimmick of him being cheese.

One cranky villager that I think is very underrated is

Buzz!
I have absolutely no idea why he's in tier 6?? He seems better than Apollo in pretty much every way to me. Definitely the best cranky eagle. I mean, just look at their map icons:

vs.

I don't know if it's just me, but Apollo looks almost unfinished compared to Buzz. Buzz's eyes have so much more depth to them, and the round neck feathers look so much better than the jagged ones Apollo has.

Apollo's a good villager, and it makes sense to me why he's risen in popularity lately. But I also think that if Apollo gets to be in tier 3, Buzz should some sort of recognition too.

daisy! she's so adorable, not sure why she's not more popular

Colton, he is a white horse prince, I don't get it. He has the 11th villager syndrome, many of members would have him, but only if we had more villager houses.

Colton was quite popular in New Leaf. In fact, a lot of villagers really popular in NL aren't as much anymore.

Yes, Tia and Static are on the more popular side of their species, but I still don't see many towns with them.

Colton was quite popular in New Leaf. In fact, a lot of villagers really popular in NL aren't as much anymore.

He was one of the most popular in city folk moving to NL era, but then Julian (who I love) and Marshal came to the mix, and in NL he was tier 3 at some point 2, but that's it. But he is the perfect example that it doesn't matter if they are popular, he is my favorite and I have Merengue, Julian, Chief, Dom, Raymond, Sherb, Reneigh, Diana, and Flora on my island, which most are tier 1-2, so at the end of the day, don't let the tier list affect who you like, although they are useful for trades.

Popular:

- Marshal. His design is kind of cute but I don't really see the appeal for him.
- Sherb. He's not horrible by any chance but as far as lazy villager designs go I think there's much cuter out there. Although that might just be the Beau bias in me talking.
- Most of the cats. I don't actually mind Raymond all that much, and I'm also a big fan of Tangy. However, I don't really understand the hype for others like Bob, Lolly, or Rosie. They certainly aren't bad by any stretch and I'd certainly take one under certain circumstances, but I think the cat species gets too much hype in general.


Unpopular:

- Hopkins. I'm honestly surprised this guy doesn't get more attention. He looks adorable, and him being inflatable makes him rather unique. I genuinely don't understand why people don't seem to talk about this guy more.
- Tia (sort of). Like another comment here said, she is quite popular and absolutely deserves all the love she's getting. However, I'm only mentioning her here because her and Merengue are quite similar in that they're head-and-shoulders above the other villagers in their species (imo) and have insanely creative designs, and yet Tia's still not quite as popular as Merengue is.
- Elvis. I know the lions don't always have the most interesting designs, but I think Elvis is easily my favorite of the bunch. I love the king theme, and his wave in this game might be one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

 

[spawnpoint]

I don't get why O'Hare is so unpopular, i think he's only tier D?? It's so unfair. He's adorable, he's definitely one of the cuter smugs and his hat is so cute,, he's so sweet I just don't get why he's so low ;-;

 

[Pixiebelle]

I don't understand how Mitzi is is not more popular.

aahhh I forgot about Mitzi! 100% AGREE (she looks like my siamese cat too so I might be kinda biased, but...!!)

 

[Melchoir]

I don't understand the popularity of...

• Raymond - I get it, he's the only smug cat and he has differently coloured eyes, but his house is literally an office. I think he's become more popular just because of the memes, rather than because he is super cute or cool
• Merengue - It's just weird to me that she's literally made of food... I understand the cute appeal but I don't personally like her myself
• Marina - I feel like she is so popular because she is a part of the rarest species and is the only 'cute' one of the octopi
• Tangy - Same thing as Merengue really, she is a food rather than an animal (or both?) and I personally don't think that she is that adorable

I don't understand the unpopularity of...

• June - She is so so adorable and looks like a true islander with the little flower in her hair! I really want her on my island and I don't understand why she isn't as popular as Maple or Stitches
• Pashmina - I personally love her design and colour scheme and think she's a very elegant villager. I understood her not being as popular in NL because maybe she was overshadowed by the new deer villagers but she really is adorable
• Biana - Super adorable peppy tiger with bright eyes and a great design! I don't understand why she isn't loved
• Flora - People seem to love the 'special' villagers and Flora is the only flamingo in the game! I don't see why she isn't as popular as other unique species
• Static - He is cool and cute! I personally think he's awesome and don't see why more people don't like him
• Chevre - One of my all-time favourite villagers! She has such a simple but charming design and to me, she is just as cute as popular villagers like Diana
• Peanut - Again, a super-cute squirrel with adorable eyes and a great colour scheme
• Blanche - Probably my favourite villager in the game! She has a very elegant design and I just really like the ostriches in general
• Hornsby - One of the new villagers that just doesn't seem to have gained any fans at all! My little brother has him and I think he looks great, and I don't understand why more people don't want him, even if it is just because he is new to NH!
• Blaire - In the same vein as Peanut, just a really cute squirrel that I don't understand why more people don't like
• Gladys - Really like her colour scheme and design overall, but the ostriches just don't seem to be that popular in the community for some reason
• Julia - I really, really like Julia's design! She's a peacock! Same thing with Flora - a unique species I just don't understand why people don't like her more
• Ken - Personal favourite of mine as he is a ninja chicken! He is one of the better chickens in my opinion and I think his colour scheme is great too
• Mint - I have Mint on my island right now and I have the same thoughts about her as I do about Blaire and Peanut, they are all so cute and they get no love!
• Phil - I also have Phil on my island and his design is so bright and vibrant, and he also has a great looking interior!
• Savannah - Again with the unique species, she is the only zebra in the game! I always liked her when I had her in my WW town
• Vivian - I personally think her design is awesome and as the wolves are so popular I would assume that she is as well but she doesn't seem to get much love online
• Chadder - Not a personal favourite but others seem to adore the food-style villagers so... Is he left out just because he is a mouse rather than a cutesy dessert-themed rhino?
• Jacob - Maybe it's just me but I think his design is really awesome and I haven't really seem him get any love online
• Opal - One of my favourite designs! I love her colour scheme and think she is really elegant, but she is a bottom-tier villager

I was just browsing villagers and came across Tutu. Which got me thinking, what's with the dislike for non-cub bears? Some are cuter than others, I'll admit, but I don't understand the hate they seem to get.

 

[Jared:3]

The love for Static though, hope he becomes more popular!

 

[alpacalypse]

i've always thought that nana should be more popular than she actually is :c she has that lovely pink aesthetic, super cute!

 

[Braixen]

there are a lot of villagers I think are unpopular! Flora, Savannah, Poppy, and Rolf to name a few!
There are a couple of popular villagers that I don't quite understand, namely Judy and the majority of the wolves. Judy's eyes are creepy to me and I'm willing to bet she wouldn't be nearly as popular if she wasn't a new villager. As for the wolves, most of them are just so... plain looking? I mean Fang and Whitney are nearly the same, just different genders... Chief and Audie are fairly similar as well.
Doesn't make any sense for them to be more popular than the more unique ones, is all!

 

[Uffe]

Marshal and Raymond - I don't get it. But with all the Raymond hype, I actually took Marshal in when he was at my campsite. He's a cute villager, but there really isn't much else about him that really warrants popularity.

Hopkins - Is Hopkins popular or not? I don't really know. I like him. He's a blue bunny that's supposed to be like one of those inflatable toys that kids could punch around. Of course I'd never do that to Hopkins. He's the best.
