Why did you choose each of your villagers?

Roald - Starter, but he's really cute. There's 2 other Jocks I want though so he won't be staying.

Merengue - Starter, we don't click though so.. money.

Marshal - Cute, but his house is in the wrong place so... money.

Tabby - Starter, not staying.

Alfonso -Random move in, but adorable. I might keep him.

Elvis - Starter, not keeping.

Broffina - Starter, not keeping.

Katt - Random move in, not keeping.

I'm sorry I laughed at the "so money" parts haha

Will be interesting to see the ones whos dreamie list is literally the top 10 most popular, say why :)
 
Nice idea! Here's mine:

Walker- Random move in
Cherry- Random move in
Mac- Campsite move in
Merry- Random move in
Tom- Campsite move in
Frita- I had Freya in my City Folk town. I found out someone was giving away Frita for free, so I decided to take her thinking it was Freya. I was surprised to see Frita when I got to the person's town. I decided I'd take her anyways!
Willow- I had her in my City Folk town, but she moved
Chevre- She was my favorite villager in Wild World
Graham- Campsite move in
Bob- I got him from a very generous friend!
 
I did not choose them..they chose me.

The villager chooses the wizard. Mayor. I meant mayor.

I didn't really choose most of my villagers. Skye, Tia, and Bunnie were campers and I guess I actively chose them, but I'm starting to find Skye kind of boring and I want Tia to move so I can see if I can auction her off. Bunnie's relatively new but I already have another peppy (Peanut).
I really, really want Rodney to unchoose me. Or maybe if I could unchoose him. He won't leave.

Of the villagers I have, I really just want to keep Kabuki, because I love crankies and I like his design a lot. I also sort of like Francine, but I'd rather have Olivia or Ankha as my snooty villager. Maybe both. i want both I also really like Pashmina, but only for her furniture because I'm collecting rococo. If she asked to move I'd probably let her leave.

I can't stand Benedict and I also wish he would leave. Preferably with Rodney. Roald built his house on top of my tulip field, which is unacceptable so I'm kind of bitter, but otherwise he's pretty lovely and I like having a penguin jock.

Reading over this post, I have a lot of animosity toward my villagers. Huh.

edit:

Will be interesting to see the ones whos dreamie list is literally the top 10 most popular, say why :)
I could almost do this! Most of my dreamies are tier 1, though, not just the top 10.

1) Marshal- I had him in my town before I signed up on TBT. I liked him a lot, and we were the best of friends. He gave me his denim jacket and everything! Alas, I lost him in a time traveling accident to the void. I like him, but not enough to pay for him, so I'm waiting to cycle.
2) Merengue- Dessert rhino. I don't know what's not to love! Her little horn is a strawberry.
3) Stitches- I really like patchwork things. He's made of patches and has little stitches for eyes. His catch phrase is stuffin'. My love for him may or may not relate to my tragic Build a Bear addiction.
4) Zucker- I'm sorry did you say takoyaki octopus that is hilarious I am so there.
5) Marina- She's pink and also an octopus. I love octopodes, IRL and on AC. Why are you here. Go back to the ocean. Just kidding get into my village.
6) Ankha- clearly the best snooty of them all. I love cats, and we were BFFs before I lost her to the void in a rogue TT accident. I have her picture in my house.

Not listed: Lopez, Beardo, Mitzi and basically every other cat ever.

When I started my town, I sat down and picked out one of each villager personality that I liked best for my Dreamies. With the two extras, I ended up picking two Crankies and two Lazies. I also ended up without repeating animal types (sort of).

Agnes: My original Uchi is Cherry. When she first asked to move I had a panic attack and couldn't let her go. Next time I think I'll be ready though. I really want Agnes in my town, as I already have Bones as a dog, and he's a definite keeper. WANTED

Bianca: I love how her template is that of a tiger, but with her spotted coat, she's given the appearance of a snow leopard. WANTED

Bones: One of my first five. His adorable hungriness caught me. I could never let him go. (Even though he was one of my boyfriend's old faves.) HAVE

Deli: A resident of my boyfriend's old town. He is one of the cutest monkeys. I missed him and added him to my list. (Even though my boyfriend wanted him back.) WANTED

Dora: Random move in. I considered Gala or Merengue for a normal, but Dora captured my heart with her shy smarts. HAVE

Lionel: Another resident of my boyfriend's old town. I loved him then and had to have him. (Even though my boyfriend wanted him back.) WANTED

Pierce: One of my first five. I just love him. He makes me think of Falco Lombardi from Star Fox. HAVE

Rolf: Another resident of my boyfriend's old town. Had to have him. (Again, even though my boyfriend wanted him back.) WANTED

Vic: One of my first five. Vikings are pretty cool. And as far as bulls go, Vic's gotta be the coolest. HAVE

Whitney: I liked her concept before I knew how popular she is. She camped in my boyfriend's town and he tried his damnedest to hold her for me...but the silly man didn't realize he had 10 villagers already. So close and yet so far. WANTED
 
Rosie: One of my starting villagers. The second I saw her in the plaza and then later went inside her house to visit, I thought "this one's a keeper". She's just SO FREAKING ADORABLE, and her little house looks like something straight out of a 1980's valley girl movie. Plus, for one of my first ever favors, she gave me a mango (first tropical fruit), and she was also the first villager to give me her picture. Until a future villager comes and steals my heart away, Rosie will always be my little kitty BFF. :)

Lolly: Another starting villager. At the time, I had no idea she was so popular, but she instantly grew on me. Her design is adorable, and her house is just so warm and inviting. Her down-to-earth personality and her "bonbon" catchphrase also quickly won me over, and I love her little apostrophe eyes. Lolly shall also remain a permanent resident in my town.

Punchy: A third starting villager. This guy actually has a backstory: about half a year before I got ACNL, one of my pets, a little black kitten, was run over by a car. When I saw Punchy in the town plaza the first day, I got a little sad thinking about my dead pet, but once I got to know the lazy little schmuck, he started to grow on me. His face is so funny, and I love the attitude of the lazy villagers. After Rosie and Lolly, Punchy became the third permanent resident of my town, and to me, he'll always be the "reincarnation" of my lost little cat.

Walker: When I saw this little guy's plot pop up right beside my house one day, my first thought was "well, here's another one I don't really want/need". Once I saw his cute little mush, though, I began to get second thoughts. I also love how the game "barks" when he sings the town tune. I was torn for a long time on which of my two lazies to keep: Punchy, or him. But after giving it a lot of thought, I decided to keep them both in town. Walker is now my permanent next-door-neighbor, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Savannah: My newest villager. I'd wanted a second normal in my town for a while, and decided to either get Savannah or Margie, as I wanted my town to have more "wild" animals in it (I know she's supposed to be a horse, but she's a zebra to me, dang it). So when Stinky moved out, I managed to snap her up from the Trading Plaza, and so far, she's been a great addition to the town. I also like how her catchphrase is "y'all", as I'm a southerner at heart.

Astrid: Another of my five starters. I actually have mixed feelings on her, as most people tend to not think highly of her, and don't care for the way she looks. However, she's grown on me, and I've come to enjoy seeing her every day. Plus, I love how her house looks like a stereotypical "stay-at-home mom" house. She may just be a keeper for me after all...we'll see.

Rocket: First random move-in after I started my town. Seeing "Rocket" on the plot sign, I expected like an eagle or some other fast animal, so imagine my surprise the next day when I find a giant pink gorilla inside my town's newest house. Granted, she did move in a very good location, and has kind of grown on me, but once my resident uchi villager decides to leave, I won't hold her back.

Purrl: I asked Purrl to move in from the campsite, just so I could get a tenth villager. Looking back, it may not have been the best decision, but I don't really regret it. Purrl is adorable, her house is very nice, and her house placement right next to the town plaza is really cute. I'm still torn whether I want to keep her or Astrid as my town snooty.

Fang: At first, I wanted to scream when I saw a house plot over the place where I wanted to put my new park, but once I saw it was Fang, I calmed down a bit. Apollo is my favorite cranky, but I do like the wolf villagers. I still plan to move him out to make room for Apollo, however.

Curlos: I didn't choose this little smug son of a monkey wrench, he chose me, when he decided to plop his merry little house down right over a field of hybrid tulips. Granted, he's not the worst villager I've seen, and his house is pretty cool. But the first chance I get, Brown Annoying Sheep is gone.
 
Rosie: One of my starting villagers. The second I saw her in the plaza and then later went inside her house to visit, I thought "this one's a keeper".

I agree Savannah is no doubt a Zebra!

Also...so sorry about your lost kitten...

marshal - starter from first town, lost him and remade my town, made sure he was in my second town. he's never allowed to leave

merengue - i was actually going to use her to get marshal but she grew on me

lolly - i found her in the campsite and i was gonna sell her for $$$ but she also grew on me.. rip

stitches - he's a cute lazy teddy bear ain't like Hello

wolfgang - cranky fashion wolf = must have (also bc apollo moved out and i was sad)

whitney - favorite snooty Ever she's so dang pretty

flora - because she's a frickin Flamingo

genji - i like how his ears are brown because it looks like a hat. also his eyebrows and eyes are hecking cool too

pashmina - she's just so cute! also because phoebe moved out (starter uchi) and i love the color of her horns
 
Soon after I got the game I got a guide with a list of all villagers. I marked off all the villagers I liked based on looks, if I had them in previous games and liked them, or if they were villagers I've always wanted from past games and never got a chance to get.
I've mostly stuck to that list but I got a few surprises that I wasn't planning on!

Genji - I had him in CF I think and really liked him. I like the Japanese-themed villagers and I also like that he looks like the mascot of a type of Japanese chocolate I like. He was a "maybe" on my list, but he was a really early random move-in and we hit it off right away. He's been in my town longest and he's never leaving!

Cole - He was also a maybe on my list. I liked his picture in the book but wasn't sure how he would look in-game. If he didn't show up in my campsite I may have eventually passed him over. But he did show up in my campsite and was super cute! I invited him right away.

Willow - I've wanted her since GC e+. She was a definite on my list. I love the fuzzy sheep and how they wear the clothes as scarves. Her eyes are adorable. I got her by plot resetting for a snooty.

Zucker - another definite on my list. Me and takoyaki go back a long way lol. It's one of my favorite foods and I have a lot of takoyaki merch from Osaka. I remember when Octavian was the only Octopus villager and he was so rare I never saw him. I got sooo excited when I saw a character like Zucker was added for NL.
Got him from a giveaway on here!!

Coco - I had her in my e+ game and she was my best friend. I love haniwa (ancient Japanese clay sculptures Coco's based on) and did a report on them for art history class in college. So another design I fell in love with based on stuff I like IRL.
Got her by plot resetting. It was really quick and I almost fell off the couch when I saw her house!

Fuchsia - She was not on my list at all. She was a random move-in, and as soon as that hot-pinkness started walking around my town I decided she was awesome and staying. She's one of my besties in-game now and is wearing a Ramones shirt I designed haha!

Mira - I did a double take when I saw her in the book. "A yellow rabbit?" "Usagi?" "A hero suit?" "Mirako?" (Japanese name) "Catchphrase "da moon"?" (JP version) "This has got to be a Sailor Moon reference!" But even though I love Sailor Moon I liked some other villagers more so decided to skip over her.
But one day I was plot resetting for a random personality type, it was getting to be the middle of day two and no one I wanted was showing up. And then bam. "Mirako's house". Nice area, close to Fuchsia who could be an Uchi friend. I googled some pics of her, saw the star on the back of her head and that was it. Sooo glad I got her now. She's so cool!

These are dreamies I don't have yet:

Marina - A definite on my list. Love the octopus villagers. Want her as a friend for Zucker. Plus her Japanese name Takorina sounds like the nickname we call our daughter Hotaru - "Hotarina".

Ankha - Definite. I have wanted her for years!!!! I really wanted her to be my islander back in the day and was so disappointed when I got the sunglassed lion lol. I wanted her in every town I had. She will be mine this time!!

The final slot, Lolly or Tangy - I had Tangy in my e+ town and she was so adorable. I loved her citrus house. Plus I need a peppy.
I saw Lolly in a dream town and love her Japanese name "Ramune" like the soda. Plus she's super cute. This is the one I'm torn on. Let's see what happens.

It's been really fun to read the responses on this thread and writing this out made me feel even closer to my villagers! Yay! Can't wait to get my final dreamies!

Yes, Mira (Mirako) is a reference to Sailor Moon. But is more a reference to one of the other Senshi, Sailor Venus! I really hope in the next game we get a baby blue octopus wearing a blue zap suit named Ami!
 
I tried to choose based on looks mainly at first by looking at a list of all the villagers… but I also wanted them to fit the soft pink or pastel feel of my town mostly, so I eliminated a few. And I wanted to have at least one of all the personalities. I was able to eliminate some because I had too many "normals" on my list for example… There were also particular species who I wanted to have in my town based on their animation and just because I liked them, etc. As I started to narrow them down I tried to visit friends or dream towns that had them so I could see if I really liked them.

merengue - I just thought she was a really interesting design and so cute! I love the pink and white together and she has a strawberry horn and is a cook with a bakery-like house! She reminds me of european-inspired bakeries in Japan.

willow - I love the sheep animation and I needed to pick a snooty. I thought that willow was the cutest out of all the sheep and I like her a lot.

octavian - I knew I wanted an octopus, the animation is so cute and it's so cool you can have an octopus! I was already going to have at least 2 normals, so I didn't want to get Marina after a while, even though she's so cute. I think it's funny that he's a cranky, too. (and I find Zucker a little unsettling looking)

flora - oh my gosh a pink flamingo who is peppy personality?? She is the best! her little eyes are so cute especially when she does the flower-happy dance. Her tail is really cute and she has a cute house, too.

beau - I accidentally "boxed" drago who was my first choice for a lazy so I had to debate about who to replace him with. Beau seemed the cutest and I didn't have a deer and the deer are really cute. I was worried about his "lazy eyes" and him being brown (as my town is mostly pastels) but after having him for a while he looks very cute in my town and I like him a lot.

flurry - so fat and short, so CUTE! cutest face!!! I LOVE FLURRY! I love when she walks through the flowers she is barely taller than.

mira - I needed an uchi. I also like that she's inspired by Sailor Venus and she's pretty cute. I think she and Muffy are the cutest of the Uchis, but Muffy is a little dark for my town I think (maybe)

rory - I decided to let Kid Cat go because I was having a hard time getting a slot free to get Merengue, who I really really wanted… so I needed a new Jock. I didn't have a lion and thought that Rory was cute. I like him pretty well, though I wonder if I would like Bam better.

julian - Sorry to be cliche, but I love that Julian is a lovely blue unicorn. That's pretty much it. I love his house, too. I had to get rid of Shep to get him though and I kinda miss Shep/.… oh well… can't have them all I guess.

lucy - Lucy is my least popular villager but she's one of my originals and I think she is super cute. I like her little asian house and she's very nice and very adorable to me, imho. She's the only one yet who comes to visit me in my house while I'm redecorating.

Most of these I don't have yet, but these are the 10 villagers that will make my dream town complete:

Kyle- OMG I LIVE KYLE SO MUCH!!!! First of all, he's a wolf, my favorite animal!!! Second of all he's a smug, my favorite personality!!! Third of all, he has such a unique design compared to all the other wolves! Gosh I just love him so much, he's my favorite villager of all time!

Marshal- I can't put into words how adorable this little grumpy ball of fluffy cuteness is. I absolutely adore his tail, his face, his flippy hair, his round pink cheeks, everything! Plus I have him and he is just sooo sweet. He randomly sends me letters all the time, it's so cute!!!

Erik- Another extremely, undeniably adorable villager! This guy is so underrated too, all thanks to that ugly overrated Beau... ANYWAY, he is my favorite lazy! His eyes are just so innocent and cute, he has epic antlers, and his nose with the little nostrils... Uggghhh just so CUTE!!!! I just wanna cuddle the little moose all day longggg <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Lucky- This dude rocks... He has a glowing yellow eye, looks like a mummy, and he's a puppy YAYYY PUPPIES!!! I also feel bad for the li'l dude haha :)

Bam- I adore this guy, he's the best jock ever IMO. I love his color, his freckles, his eyes, his antlers, and he reminds me so much of Bambi which is SO CUTJDIFKGKFJEDEEHCCUTEEEEEEE!!!!! Sadly I have to make him leave and cycle 16 villagers cuz he put his house in a bad spot! :(

Fang- My favorite cranky!!! Like I said earlier, wolves are my favorite animal, and I just love his looks! He's like my big bad wolf brother always protecting me!

Goldie- Me and Goldie go waaayyyy back... When I first got my ACWW game as a 7 year old, Goldie was in my first town and she was my absolute FAVORITE. I always thought she was so cute and sweet, and I would always talk to her. But one day, she moved away... I cried so hard for months. I reset my town over and over trying to get her back but I just never could.., I still miss her sweet face and her sweet personality to this day!

Whitney- She is a WOLF and she's so beautiful!! I have her in my town and even though her personality is snooty she's not snooty to me at all, me and her are besties for life!!!

Rosie- AUUUGGHH I can't get over how adorable this kitty is!!! She always has a :3 face which is adorable! AND HER EYES!!! <3

Cherry- This is seriously the best Uchi ever and she's so underrated! This chick is way too cute for me pass on! She's a cute puppy... A cute GOTHIC puppy... Adorableeee!!! And her little smirk, awwweeee!!!!
