You know, before the game was released I had a list of which villagers I found the most aesthetically pleasing/wanted in my town. But somehow the ones I ended up loving most were the ones I never even considered! So I was wondering: have you ever had a villager that you just plain hated and then that villager somehow became your favorite? It's happened to me a few times.


Here are the villagers with whom it has happened with:

MOTT: I pre-ordered ACNL, but since I ordered it online it didn't arrive until the 11th. By then all of my friends had already started playing so I didn't bother to reset much for the perfect map or for the perfect villagers. I hated all of my original five villagers, including Mott --though I preferred him over the rest. Slowly though, he became my favorite. His jock personality always made my laugh and I could never resist the chance to run a chore for him. Now he is my absolute favorite. I love Eclair, but if he were to leave I'd do anything to get him back! Whether it meant resetting my game or cycling through 16. Oh and did I mention I even drew awful fanart of him?

FUCHSIA: Back when the game was new 'plot resetting' was unheard of. People had no idea that you could choose where your villagers could move into or that you could even control who was moving in. Then AoJones posted this thread teaching people how to do it. The problem was that a lot of people had trouble getting it to work for the 9th villager. So I stepped in and helped AoJones perfect this method. I did a lot of testing and spent a few hours at it. After hours of testing I settled for Fuchsia even though much better looking uchis had come along. I was tired and figured that I could just replace her later on. But to my surprise I ended up loving how tough and cool she was. Like Mott, she is one of my favorites (though not my #1, that spot is reserved for Mott)

TUTU: Tutu is actually pretty cute. But I never really gave her much thought. Then I made Hell and she was one of my original five. It was love at first sight. I love seeing her walk around, reminds me of a giant teddy bear! And she has suggested a bunch of different PWPs also, which is of course a great plus!

KATT: While making Hell I jokingly told my friend that Katt was a dreamie. I pretended to really mean it just to mess with her, but I really didn't want her anywhere near my town. I mean, really... I thought Katt was one of the ugliest villagers in game. Then around the fourth day in Hell (I believe) I was running around town when suddenly I saw a fenced plot for her. My first reaction was to laugh then I was slightly bothered. Then I actually saw her in game and I really liked her. I mean, she is still ugly. But there is something endearing about her! And I love how she always looks as though she pulled a prank on someone.
 
- Elmer: he's like the most basic looking horse but he was my first lazy and one of my first best friends! I miss him :(
- Jacques: I realized I liked him and how cool he is AFTER he moved out.
- Bruce: he was a starter and I thought I should make him leave and replace him with marshal but found myself really liking him and I got too attached him and didn't know what to do until one day he sent me a letter telling me to cut the silence and start talking to him more! from that day I named him a dreamie, he's been in my town ever since and is NEVER leaving haha!

I love my Bruce :')
 
I was a bit mixed on Ribbot at first, but I grew to apperciate that robot frog...

I miss him. ; ^ ;

Awh I love Katt! I used to not like Kyle for some reason. His picture online didn't do him justice, but when I saw him in game I instantly had to have him in my town. c: Also I used to hate Tiffany, she literally plotted her house 2 squares in front of mine in my first towm. I used to beat her and send her garbage xD Now I love her and she is one of my favorite villagers in the game.

Katt is amazing! I mean, just look at this:

Kyle and Tiffany too --I see that you have her as your avatar, thats quite a turnaround!

Cheri: I remember back when I got Cheri and wanted to move her out, I didn't though since I restarted.
2 years later I finally had love in her and chose her as my dreamie.

Bonbon: There was this ACC user that had Bonbon as his dreamy, and I wanted to know how she was. I restarted town to find her as a starter and she was cute!
I have her in my main town too, too bad I have to let her go because of Marshal.

Barold: Oh how I hated him back then when I restarted and got him as a starter once. Then when I had him as a random move in from my 2nd town I liked him very quickly.

Ricky: I wasn't interested in him, until he came in as a random move in.

Diana: I had zero interest in her, I even made her move out for Chrissy. Then I started to try her out and now I like her.

Hazel: Gosh I hated her back then. Until I got her as a random move in then I started to grow on her.

Ankha: I was never interested in her. That is until she came in as a random move in.

Merengue: She was just too plain, that is until I decided to try her out and she's great!

Pekoe: Oh this one was back in City Folk. My first and favorite. When she moved in I really hated her ugly looks, I decided to move her out. A week later I discovered that she was really cute and made her a dreamy.

Stitches: This one was back in City Folk with a twist of New Leaf. I remember in City Folk, I had Stitches as a random move in, and wow he was ugly! A year later I decided to try him out and he's awesome!

Phew, that was a lot!
 
PASHMINA! I've never really been a fan of the goats but I needed an uchi villager so I went with her. I LOVE HER! She is seriously my favorite villager in town right now! Her look is adorable and I think the uchi personality fits the goats very well. I am so glad that I took a chance on her!!!
 
i had Hans in my town, I didn't really care for him at first but he's actually really cool! I got sad when he moved :{

Felicity. I thought she was sort of plain looking but I just love her!
 
Two villagers in particular come to mind, the first is Alice. I was frankly terrified of her in the beginning but her sweet personality won me over.

The second villager is Klaus. He turned up in my current town of Athelney, and is really starting to grow on me.
 
Several!

Mott: I really didn't like him at all, but then he just sort of grew on me. He was really funny and like OP said, his jocky personality would make me laugh and often cheer me up. Plus, I grew to really like his design. He has a lot of character!

Shep: When I first met him [and he was my first smug personality] I thought he was a little creepy, especially when he would flirt with me or make little suggestions. But soon he just started to become really goofy and I thought he was absolutely adorable. Now, he's one of my dreamies, and I miss him so badly!!

Big Top: He moved in my Wild World town and I was just going to cycle him out, but he was always so sweet to me and the idea of an elephant wearing a big ole' helmet was absolutely endearing to me. He grew on me real fast, and although he isn't someone I want always in my town, I love having him in my town when he does show up!

She. Is. AMAZING. I actually didn't care for her when she moved in, but I quickly grew to like her, since she's so funny. But she was going to move away, so I saved her from Voidedness by putting her in my sister's town.

This guy. This guy is great. I thought he'd be just another ugly guy in lieu of Tabby, but he's SO MUCH MORE than that. I don't want him to leave forever and... Just...
 
One of my original villagers was Freya. At first I didn't like her very much, mostly because of her personality, but after a while, she really grew on me. I still won't let her leave...

Frank moved in a little while later, and at first I was just "Meh" with him. He looked pretty cool, though, which is why I never let him move away. After a few months, though, he became one of my favorites easily.
 
Rowan. He was one of my original 5 when I first got the game. I was bummed when he left. (a newb TT error) He was a jock, and always funny. I didn't think he would be a favorite, but he ended up being one of my besties. He wrote me letters all the time about how he was better at everything than me. :)
 
Pecan's probably the best example for me. Funny story - she's been a starter villager for me in all three of the Animal Crossing games I've played (I never played Wild World), so she's had a lot of time to grow on me, so to speak. Normally I like villagers who are a bit more brightly coloured or unique-looking, but Pecan's become a bit of a mainstay for me now.

Felicity's in a bit of a different boat. I saw her on the Animal Crossing Wiki when I was looking through for new villagers to look for, but didn't really give her a second thought and decided I wanted Agent S as a peppy villager. Then she showed up in my town's campsite, and that's when I decided she was cute enough to move in. I've been unwilling to let her move out since. (I did eventually get Agent S as well, by the way.)

Eloise. Sort of. I wouldn't say I love her, but she's grown on me a bit. I don't like her default outfit at all, and she's one of the only villagers who hasn't changed. {Cookie is the other one, but I don't mind her default outfit.}
 
Lobo: He's the only one of my original five still living in my town. While I didn't think much of him at first, he's grown a lot on me and I don't plan on ever letting him go.

Yuka: When she moved into my town I planned on letting her move the first time she asked, as I didn't really care for her. But she quickly became one of my favourite villagers, and I was heartbroken when she left. </3
 
kabuki, i invited him into my town with the intention of selling him but he really grew on me... i really like the cat villagers. too bad i let him move in an awful spot since i didn't think i'd be keeping him. :C
 
Frita: My first uchi villager ever in New Leaf. Her concept art as a hamburger and fries sheep seemed like an awful idea, but considering she was the first experience I had with an uchi villager, I soon came to realize that she's actually pretty awesome. She moved, eventually, but I had a blast with her nevertheless.

Pashmina: The uchi villager who replaced Frita when she left. Without knowing about plot resetting at the time, I stepped out of my house to the horrifying discovery that she had destroyed a perfect apple orchard and several hibiscus bushes simply by being as close to my house as she possibly could. Yet, I managed to keep her around all through my first town until I eventually reset. Never could do anything to fix what she had destroyed, but now she's one of my favorite uchi villagers who's also in my current town.
