Villagers you thought you’d love, but didn’t? And vice versa!

hi all! happy holidays <3 I hope you’re warm and cozy wherever you are!

I restarted my island for 3.0 back in October, and I’m having so much fun playing again. I don’t really have a theme in mind beyond going with my gut lol, and that includes finding villagers. I am, however, finding myself surprised at who I am liking or not liking as much as I thought!

I got Filbert as my first lazy, and I feel awful because he’s given me a nickname (spud lol), but… I don’t know if he’s going to stick around forever! I’m not even sure which lazy I’d like more, but there’s something about him not quite clicking.

Similarly, I have had and loved Lolly in the past, but this time around I don’t feel that same connection. Maybe it’s because Poppy was my first formal villager, and her hobby is more varied? I did also just find Purrl, who is another cat, and I’m loving her, and also want Kiki, so maybe I can’t have too many cats haha

I am surprised by how much I love Hamlet!! he was my first jock and is so so cute :,)

I was surprised by my love for Shari, she is just so cute! Also Hamphrey the cranky hamster. I think it’s because the cranky personality looks and sounds so funny coming from such a tiny little hammy. There’s also Penelope, I’m not a big fan of the mice but the bow wrapped around her ears is just adorable.

I always thought I’d love ketchup, but after having her on my island, I quickly realised that there are other peppy villagers I much prefer.

I used to love so many of the cat villagers, but I find them too tall and odd looking since new leaf. Kiki was one of my favourite villagers in wild world, but now I just don’t like her design.

Yea...lazies are something else in this game. They really missed the mark on them in NH. I don't know if it's a translation error or NA took liberties and the Japan version is more endearing (sort of like how NA reworked dialogue in the original AC so villagers were mean and spiteful) but they're so gross.

The NL lazies were so charming in their own ways, but I can't even click with any of them. I have Punchy on my island and I barely interact with him because he talks about his bug friends, eating nasty food, eating food in the tub until it congeals into a paste, or talking about how he tried to eat his weight in food only to 'reverse snack' it all over the floor.

The translations on this game are the most PC. Characters have no individual attributes that really spry away anymore. They missed the beat

I thought I'd love Maple, because she is adorable but I didn't like her as much as Fauna or Molly. Since all the normals have similar dialogue, I ended up moving Maple out sooner than I thought I would. There are so many charming normal villagers, I usually have at least two.

I thought I'd love Judy because of how cute she is with her sparkling eyes and color palette but, tbh, she really just didn't end up growing on me as much as other snooty villagers have. Diana has always been my fave but Judy doesn't even really compare to Freya or Francine in my mind for some reason. I ended up replacing her as soon as I got her photo because I just didn't end up getting as attached to her.

However, someone that I did get so attached to when I didn't expect it was Katt! She randomly moved into my New Leaf town and ruined my paths so I naturally hated her at first but she grew on me so much that I actually got sad when she asked to leave, even though I couldn't decorate around my house as much as I wanted to with her there. Now every time I see her I get so soft lol.
