Pekoe is amazing. There's just something about her design and the way she is animated that makes her seem more like a real person than many of the villagers. Great facial expressions. Plus, I love her house. I just let her move away but she's probably the cub I've had longest.

I also had Judy a long time. I didn't think I'd like Judy but ended up finding her to be adorable. I don't like the wooden block set or pastels, so her house wasn't my favorite. I don't even like her design that much. But there was something about the snooty personality coming from that design--K.K. Lullaby and all--that really worked for me.

Maple is darling and I loved having her on my island. I would like to eventually find Bluebear and June. I wasn't fond of Cheri.
 
I've had both Pekoe and Poncho in my first New Leaf town, and I liked them both. I will always have fond memories of Pekoe due to our time together, and she just has a cute design. My favorite cub, however, is Pudge. He's just so adorable, and he's got a perfect look for a lazy villager.

There aren't any individual cubs that I dislike. However, I would feel a little weird about having a cranky cub. It's just a little too bizarre to see a baby bear talking like an old man.
 
Judy is the best by far imo, I really like how bright she is and how she sticks out.
Judy is soooo cute dude, I really want her on my island, but I already have Francine, and Ankha. Not that it’s easy to get Judy though, haha!
 
I love most of them. I voted for Judy, Bluebear (in spite not clicking; I think i just had too many peppies at the time), Pudge, Pekoe, Cheri and Poncho. Maple is pretty cute too. 🥺

I’ve been interested in Pudge since NL and HHD; almost had him but I traded for another villager that same day and 😬. I do wish his eyes looked different, but regardless I still think he is a cutie. he looks so good with a sailor’s cap on.

Pekoe’s theme and her design is so pretty. I love her eye color and shape and her hair :). Cheri and Poncho aren’t as big of favorites but I still think they are among the cutest of the cubs along with maple (didn’t know if I could vote for her as well).

I used to not like Judy because of her eyes but now I love her and her expressions, now that I’ve seen them.
 
Oops forgot to say which is the worst. A year ago I’d have said Barold, but honestly, seeing people’s screenshots, I think he is actually pretty cute and has his charms. I honestly think I like most if not all the cubs.
 
Every villager is special to someone. So I won't vote for the worst cub.

Luckily, this thread allows multiple voting. I went for Judy and Pekoe for obvious reasons.
 
voted for Pekoe cause she's currently on my island and has become a favorite!! Other favs are Stitches and Judy, but i decided not to vote for them cause they aren't currently on my island so i don't have the same attachment to them ^^

i also don't feel like voting for worst cub, simply cause i can get a villager and think they're unappealing and the next moment i can be super attached to them through playing the game. x3
 
Maple is the standard for cub villagers, i mean just look at her, her eyes, her bangs, not to mention her rosy cheeks, she's the perfect cub villager!

also voted for Judy and Stitches cuz i have Judy in my island currently and i had Stitches before on my ACNL town and both of them are really cute as well!
 
WORST: Barold and Vladimir. I especially HATE Barold, he's just so ugly. Vladimir isn't really that ugly but he looks like he's plotting something evil.

BEST: I don't know why but I like Chester.

If there's a bear species doesn't that mean that the cubs species are their kids?
 
Best (imho): Stitches & Judy. They're both out-of-this-world cute! Stitches being a colourful teddybear with X for eyes (which makes him look more handmade [and creepy to some]) and Judy being a magical cosmic bear cub in pastel colours. Looks kind of nostalgic!
Worst (imho): Barold. Easy pick. I don't like his colours, his eyes, his mouth, his beard and his furniture/house theme. One of my least fav. villagers in the game.
 
Murphy and Stitches all day 😍
For Murphy i just love my Cranky Boy and Stitches design is one of m'y ultimate favorite.

Special mentions to Cheri and Maple.

I really don't like pudge face.
 
thought stitches was underrated until i saw him in my campsite a few days ago.. he's so cute and squishable!
second place is maple
