Why is Raymond so loved?

Most popular villager now?


  • Total voters
    180
  • Poll closed .
A combination of his eye colors, species and general appearance, can’t be amiiboed in and is new which snowballed as more and more people acknowledge his popularity.
 
Also, why does a villager being called by an amibo decrease their price? I notice most people put something like "Not invited by amibo" in titles, or maybe it's just me.
 
A lot of my friend who like raymond also like byakuya from danganronpa, so i guess raymond kinda has the same vibe as him? as for non danganronpa fans, i have no idea lol. he is pretty cool though
 
New cat villager with appealing design, hard to get without campsite trick or paying lot of NTM, because there is no amiibo card of him. Some people even pay real money (I have seen listings of over 1000$ on ebay for him) to get him. But to summarize: rarity, a cat villager, appealing design and internet memes. That’s about it, I think.

Because of the glitches surrounding amiibos probably, there was always a risk with them being involved
 
For the maid outfit, I particularly remember that he went viral for it. I also don't think a lot of people were expecting him to react so well to getting a maid outfit and wear it right after (and possibly more after that). But I do remember seeing Marshal wear a dress as well in someone else's video? So I think it's particular male villagers who will take a dress, and Raymond is one of them.

And yeah, the reason he's going for way too much is because he doesn't have an amiibo card yet, so he's technically harder to get at the moment.

I personally want him because I think he's pretty cute. I also saw one interaction with Marshal that I can't stop laughing over. I wouldn't pay so much for him though and didn't realize how in demand he was until I saw listings for him.
 
I think the key for his popularity to die out is actually getting his (plus Audie's, Sherb's....) card done. But we'll have to wait. In the meantime I think he's here to stay in the tops for a good amount of time.
 
Nintendo needs to come and ruin the popularity before it skyrockets to the point where everyone is broke, INTRODUCE AMIBO CARDS FOR THEM ALREADY!!!!

This thread is not made to offend any Raymond lovers, this is just my personal opinion
 
I personally only like him because he looks like one of my neighbor’s cat that I used to look after when they weren’t home for long periods of time. (Then he died ;-; )

I got him through TT and the campsite. I’m really surprised people aren’t using the campsite method to get him instead of wasting NMTs and spending actual i r l money which is crazy.

Also btw I don’t think his aesthetic is “hipster”, it’s more of the “formal” look. Hipster to me would be flannels, beards, and aviator glasses. Just go to Seattle and you’ll get a good idea.

Nintendo it's not responsible for the economy outside their game, their only interest of making cards is actually getting money from them, not to stabilize this economy (not to mix with the real money thing, as far as I know that's illegal). And with the pandemic, this could take a while
 
I think his popularity has to die out. 1000 dollars for a collection of pixels forming a cat. Nintendo doesn't even allow selling in game items.
I dunno where you're looking but he's not going for that much at all, I've never seen Raymond go for more than $100 and there are tons of $30-35 buy it now listings. You could also just buy NMT instead and then purchase Raymond from a player for cheaper than that.

I was lucky enough to just get Raymond as one of my initial 10 though lmao

right? like if someone really doesn't want to the campsite method because they consider it cheating, that's their own decision and it's fine, they play the way they want to. but the type of person who would pay real money for him would certainly also be willing to time travel and reset their game?? it's a complete waste of money for something that they could absolutely do themselves. granted not everyone knows about the campsite method, but again, if you're willing to pay real money...you'd think that you would do some research lol
 
Worst part is I bet you 100 bells (no not actually) that a little kid stole his moms card for something like this.
 
no idea, i actually think he is one of the uglier villagers. the only cool thing about him is the heterochromia.

and people actually paid upwards of* $1000 for him??? lol that's nuts. both my brother and boyfriend found him in their campsites for their first campsite villager... just keep playing and you'll get him LOL don't pay silly prices for him!

I'm planning to try out the campsite method later today, tbh. It's obviously better than spending irl money.

I think they may mean NMT, because he's going for as high as that at the moment. I haven't seen $1000 irl money listings but definitely $30 listings.

Imo if you’re willing to somehow to manage getting 2500 NMTs or actually cash irl money, then TT isn’t going to be that much of a challenge. Sure, it took me at least two hours to get him (one hour to look for him, another hour to get him to move in)?but honestly? It’s better than having to grind constantly grind and spend waaaay to much time and effort on him. After all, he’s just pixels.
