Will someone move if I never talk to them?

[Twisterheart]

I had two villagers that were in bad spots, so I scanned amiibo cards trying to fix my town. Both amiibo villagers would only move into the previous spots, even though I had open places for them. I plot resetted a hundred times and neither of them moved, so I just gave up.

I'm wondering if I just ignore them and never talk to them if they will leave?

Depends on the villager. I had a ****ty villager who I ignored and even tried cycling out and this little ****er didn't ping me until a year later. HE NEVER PINGED ME UNTIL A YEAR LATER. Uuuugh, it awful, but I learned a strategy that worked for me and maybe it'll work for you.
So the fastest way to get rid of a villager is the amiibo cards if you have a villager you like. You can force someone to move out with the cards, but you do get the villager on the card to move in.
No amiibo cards? That's fine, I got rid of my pesky villager by talking to almost only him. I talked to him the most, I'd talk to him 3 times, maybe everyone else once and he started pinging me more and he finally left.

From experience, that method never really worked for me but that may because I had gotten too impatient, lol. I have always found befriending faster personally. It works great!

There's no sure fire way of getting rid of villagers that work 100%. Otherwise, these threads wouldn't exist It's random who wants to move each time. I've had villagers I don't talk to move and villagers I talked to a lot move.

I don't know if this is true or not but I read that amiibo villagers will never ping you to move unless you recruit at least 7

 

[Maddycool]

Maybe they will. I did it before it took a long time but they moved.

 

[ja2mine]

No and yes. They have to be on speaking terms with you to suggest to move out or ping you. But I've had villagers move out in the past that I don't talk to

The never talking thing doesn't work, it takes longer for a villager to move.
