Why Bother With Popular Villager Hype?

Bill was m first friend in CF so glad there's much love for him and I'm not the only one :)
Beau is such a cutie :)
 
I don't understand why people say "meet the villager first". They say the same exact things if they match personalities. Genji is no different from Bill or Snake. Merengue is the same as Lolly and Marina. The only difference is their looks. Marshal gets one of the funniest personalities and most people think he's adorable and that's why he's so popular.

If someone mentions Beau again :'c
Today, whilst trying to get Beau out for someone to hold, my brother reset my game. Beau and all my items gone into thin air. My lazy deer bro gone.
 
To each their own. The amount of abuse & all around angry-ness from people that lose out on raffles/auctions is ridiculous.

Marshal is pretty cute, but I would not go through all the trouble to get him over others, or any other popular villager for that matter.
 
Isn't this identical to the hype about like bands and music artists though?
Sure, there will be fake fans, who pretend to like things because it makes them look good and popular, but there are genuine fans of these villagers who would like them regardless of if they were popular or not.

I think it's worse when pretentious people dance around telling people they're pathetic and fake for having a town full of populars while they have a town full of unpopular villagers or whatever.

Some people genuinely like these villagers, it's all down to opinion. I hate quite a few of the popular ones, but I have a bit of a soft spot for the deer and wolves to be honest.

Oh, that sucks! He's on my list of eventual want, a friend of mine actually got him this morning, I was jealous.

There are a few exceptions to the rule actually. Some villagers act slightly differently to how the personalities are usually depicted ^_^
 
A quick death would be too kind.
I'm planning it out.
It's my Granddad's birthday tomorrow so we're going to the graveyard anyway :rolleyes:

Oh no I'm very sorry :( If I can help you in any way let me know ok :)
 
^^ Aww ty, I'm fine for now :'c
I just reset and got Punchy and Rosie as starters so that's a cheerup.
 
lol when I first find out Beau wasn't I girl, I freaked out.

I have no tier 1 villagers. 3 of them are tier 2 though- Erik, Zell, and Rudy. I just think Zell looks so fuzzy. My dreamie is Roscoe because he's such a cool-looking cranky. :)

I guess the point of having popular villagers is to have a hard-to-reach goal? idk
 
Oh well actually I want marshal because he reminds me of the main character from a film :3 I never noticed it at first actually (when I first saw him I thought he was a squirrel with a dodgy face...) but then he started to grow on me and he became a dreamie of mine. - I think he's really cute now x3

As for Marina - she's just so cute!!!! I also badly wanted an octopus in my town since there are only 3 at the moment - I wanted to pair her up with Octavian hehe

In my opinion, if we just base everything and everyone off of looks, this game is pointless.
 
I dont care about popularity, but the popular villagers seems to be the cooles/cutest.

This.

And I almost only have popular villagers - or at least I've seen a lot of people trying to get at least half the villagers I have. Some I've been looking for, but most of my villagers have I gotten through the campsite and through others, because they were helping me. I've never paid more than 1 mil for a villager.

But I think my villagers look cute. Lolly and Merry are the cutest cats in the game, they are just adorable! Fauna grew on me and then I fell in love with all the deer villagers and I've had them all. Now I "only" have Zell, Beau, Erik and Fauna. Skye, Wolfgang and Freya just moved in from campsite (or I think I got Skye from someone who needed her gone asap.)
The only villagers I've really been hunting for is Zell, Erik and Pekoe. But Pekoe showed up in my campsite, Zell and Erik I've gotten of trades. I don't like them because they are popular - I like them for their personality and the way they look.
