Who are your favorite non-mainstream villagers?

[Bulbadragon]

Pudge! He was one of my first villagers in Wild World, my first AC game ever. I loved him in that game and was devastated when he moved out. After the release date for New Horizons was announced, I immediately went and bought Pudge's amiibo card. I just think he's so precious and I love lazy villagers.

hopkins! his design is so unique and we share the same birthday

Cole is my favourite villager in general and I don't know why he isn't more popular!

URSALA

Now and forever, Ursala is my girl. I will never understand how she's not THE most popular sisterly (or why sisterlies aren't popular in general... they're my favorite personality and I love a lot of them, like Deirdre who's my new avatar). But Ursala is such a cutie with lovely colors, cute hair, and adorable freckles. Plus, sisterlies are caring but intimidating... and a bear fits that PERFECTLY. She's not on my island RN, but I have her Amiibo, so she can always come back~​

Yay Bangle appreciation She deserves so much more

I keep refusing move outs as I can’t guarantee I would get her. I have 3 dreamiest and my gorgeous son got me Whitney and Bianca for Mother’s Day Maybe I can hint what I would like for Christmas

bangle was the first villager i ever had a good connection to in my first animal crossing town! I would go to her house every day and talk to her until she told me to shut up XD

Assuming ‘non-mainstream’ means not popular, it seems like quite a few of my favorites fit.

Bangle, Cole, Graham, Soleil, Willow, Ike, Ursala, Stinky, Alice, Sydney, Clay, Dierdre, Antonio, Freckles, and Maggie are some of my (many) faves who I believe fall on the unpopular/ unknown end of the scale.

Tabby is an unusual case, because I would argue she is well known for being unpopular in a way similar to but not to the same extent as poor Rodney. I would say they would be in the mainstream as unpopular villagers. Mainstream, non-mainstream, or something in between, I do love Tabby so much.

Genji, Flurry, Apple, Ruby, Agnes, and Fauna are favorites I would consider ‘mainstream’/ popular

hmmm I’d say Papi, Ike, Vesta and O’Hare ! Papi, Vesta and O’Hare are ones I’ve liked for a long time and Ike is a newer favorite, he’s such a good grumpy <3 I just love how done he looks all the time

(Idk if Vesta counts bc I’ve seen lots of people liking her recently— makes my heart happy <3)

 

[squidney]

Victoria and Elmer!! In wild world, they happened to move right next to eachother and i would plant roses in between their houses cus child me thought they were bf/gf LOL

 

[coldpotato]

Nobody really talks about her much but I had Yuka as my first snooty and I loved her so much. I also really like Bruce!

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

Sterling still has a special place in my heart all because of new leaf. Still my favorite jock (and tied with semi-popular Erik as my all-time favorite)!

 

[Mollyra]

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of the villagers I like (or are my favorites, for that matter) aren't popular, so I'll keep this post short!

Nibbles was one of my initial villagers in New Horizons, and to this day, I regret letting her go, even if she'd still have her starter house. I grew attached to her very quickly, and she's among one of my favorite villagers now.

 

[tywashere]

I adore Hugh and Ken. Hugh is a heterochromatic, blue pig and Ken is a gothic chicken.

 

[g u a v a]

TRUFFLES BABBYYYYY, I feel very seen by her design <3

 

[John Wick]

Angus.

He totally rocks.
Love Macmoo. ^_^

 

[LuluLove]

I don’t know if he is considered mainstream or not but I love Bam and I don’t see him in many islands, so maybe he is not that famous! But he is so cute with his little freckles!

 

[peachycrossing9]

My all time favourite villager is not mainstream, and that's Alfonso. I haven't come across many people that love him, but he is my boi.

I also love Papi. I think he's a sweetheart, although I have never had him in any of the games,

 

[Berrymia]

NANA. People sleep on her and I don’t understand it because she’s adorable!!
I also love Baabara, Deirdre and Wendy :>

 

[oranje]

I think for me this time around is Del. I love his color scheme, his (ware)house, and that apparently he's based on a navy ship? Plus he's always been pretty nice to me, so I like him for that too. One other villager that I like a lot is Hazel! What a cute little unibrow!

 

[KittenNoir]

Ed is my favourite he has been my day one since New Leaf and now also Buck is another of my new favourite islanders
