Well City Folk is even less playable in that regard.
It is very annoying. Wild World is the only AC I regularly play right now. I'll have villagers that get into catching bugs. I bring them a bug, the next day they're asking for the same bug again. And they ask for it when it is raining as well. -_-
I really wish AC:3DS could go back to more GCN-style errands. No more asking for entire sets of furniture (which they stop asking for it before you can even complete it for them) and no more being stuck on asking for the same thing several times. I miss the errands where they'd ask you to go get something from one villager, and then that villager wouldn't have it and you'd have to go to another villager or more. The longer the chain went the better the gift you got.
