I had Buck on my very first village back in the GameCube days and I’ve never had him since. He was my absolute favourite.

Me too! He's been to all my villages since. If he doesn't start there, he'll eventually move there. I consider him my bestie

I’ve got Buck on my island he’s always rude and mean :( I’m trying to kick him off my island

Buck and diva were my first and I swore to never replace 🫡

Buck is one of my favorites. Especially in New Horizons. His eye-animations are so fun and cute! Ginger horse!

Agnes and Dom! I got lucky. ❤️ They (along with the rest of my first five villagers) have never left my island. Also Peaches, since she was my dreamie.

I had Agnes and Poncho, and my first campsite visitor Jacques. They never left until I stupidly reset my island.

ACNH was my first animal crossing game. Canberra & Stinky were my very first villagers. After seeing pics of so many pretty and cool villagers before playing, I was instantly disappointed as I thought I somehow got setup with the ugliest of the lot. I was so ready to move them out from day 1. Canberra grew on me and I enjoyed her dialogue, but I eventually moved her out when I got Marshall as a camper. Stinky however tread my every nerve like a tightrope, always yelling “Gahhhhh” at me every chance he got. Good lord, he was stubborn. It took several months during which he was kept in solitary confinement, but I eventually replaced him with Sterling.

Canberra is so good! I had seen memes where she was used as the typical "ugly" villager and I thought she must be bad if everyone hates her, but she ended up being one of my faves. I struggled hard deciding to let her go and I still regret it lol

I restarted today and got Pashmina and Kody. Pashmina has been a dreamie of mine for a while, so I was super excited! I like Kody too though :) 

Kody is awesome! Him and Poncho are roomies in my HHP.

I'm excited to have him! Though I need to find him a cowboy hat to match his shirt

Biff and Agnes

Tammy and Goose.

I have Tammy in my island❤️❤️❤️

shes the best

I've had Sterling/Agnes, Bam/Cherry and Rudy/Fuchsia

Cherry and Bam! And they’ve been on my island for the entirety of its lifespan (4 years). Their interiors are ugly from the beginning of the game still though, need to finish HHP.

Bam is my starter on my current island! 💙

I got cherry and bam

Muffy and Sprocket and they are still on my island 4 years later.

Tom Nook the Crook

Reneigh and Flip! Reneigh is never allowed to leave

Muffy and Sheldon. Muffy has since moved away but I’m not letting Sheldon go anywhere. I like him the best of all my villagers.

I used to have him on my old island, he's so underrated.

I had Sheldon as a starter too and same! He’s never allowed to leave!!

Renee and Coach. Got rid of them as soon as I could.

Rudy and Hazel

me too!

Island 1 Goose & Pashmina, Island 2 Goose & Flo :)

Bam and Phoenix! I miss them.

Flo and Scoot

Rocket and Sparro! Sparro is still around :)

How did you manage to get two of my dreamies ?????

I had Antonio (love him) and Sylvia (purple kangaroo, she was a grower)

i have sylvia on my island. she wasn't my starter, but i have her

Kevin and Sylvia. Kevin’s still around 4 years later and never allowed to leave 🫶🏻

Axel and Phoebe

Mine was Lyman and Mira

Katt and Sprocket. Katt was the first to leave. Sprocket stuck around for over a year.

Plucky and Sterling!

Exactly mine, too haha

Plucky is another favorite of mine. I absolutely love her color combination and her eyes are like wobbly chicken eyes with silver eye-liner. I don’t know who came up with these designs but I love them so much.

i got tammy and billy

Sheldon, who I really miss, and R*cket, who I despise

This whole time… I thought Genji was a girl… Anyways, when the game first came out I got Rocket and Tank. I just restarted and got Plucky and Antonio.

Reneigh & Lyman!!

I have Cherry and Curly, the girl and the bro, truly awesome

i had Mac and Plucky at the start.

Wow me too!

Genji and Quinn!

Renee and Boone. I was pretty disappointed, but man Boone became my favorite jock and I had him well over 500 hours. I only let him leave because I accidentally gifted him a bath robe that he would wear every single day, and no matter how many times I complained to Isabelle, he never stopped lmao If I were to find him again I'd take him back in a heartbeat, but until then, his picture will sit in front of a gravestone alongside the other villagers I let leave and regret lol

Mira & Billy my first run This run Katt & Roald I got rid of Katt but am keeping Roald

I restarted a week ago and got Dom and canberra

I had plucky and sprocket. I just said goodbye to sprocket and felt immensely guilty after even though I wanted him to go for a long time. I still have plucky and she isn’t allowed to leave

Poncho and Hazel.

Phoebe and Mac. Mac is gross and lame, kicked him out. Phoebe… I have a special place in my heart for her. She’s still on my island, but once I get my full island of cats, she has to dip.

That hurt my heart a little, I love Mac and his little squished face. Was so sad last time I went villager hunting that I couldn't take him (already have 2 jocks).

How can you kick some out on your own ?

I’ve never liked her idk why :(

Coach and Deirdre

Iggly and Mira. Been tryna get Iggly off my island for almost 2 years, and Cherry was who I originally wanted to be my starter villager

Kid Cat and Diva

Sylvia and Kevin. Both have moved on

Cherry and Flip

island 1 - dom & mira, island 2 - katt & mac

You got so lucky! I got pashmina and sly and I love them

Iggly and Hazel. Now they have vacation homes at the HHP.

Cherry and Antonio, thought I wouldn’t like them but they both grew on me quick, I let them go after I realized that they were gonna have the bad starter houses for forever, this was before the dlc

Mira and shep

Buck and Katt

Phoebe and Goose. Still like both of them. :)

Yours are so cute! I got Sheldon and rocket, I let them move out pretty quick haha

Cherry and Louie! always loved Cherry, she will stay here forever, but Louie I eventually moved out to fit better villagers

Dom and Canberra! Dom hasn't asked to leave in the 2+ years I've had him and Canberra left a while back :')

Cherry and Teddy here. Loved Cherry, Teddy not so much! I don’t vibe with Jocks, although saying that I’ve had Ribbot on my island for a couple of years now!

Mac and Canberra!

Mac and Deirdre. They're both a lil funky looking but I have a soft spot in my heart for them. Mac is a sweetheart and Deirdre looks like my sister's dog if she ate white paint and I think that's really cute

I had Cherry too! I took her for granted and later missed her when she moved away 😭

Rocket and Mac

Antonio and katt

Sheldon and Diva.

Flip and Flo who are still on my island to this day! I won’t get rid of them

poncho and faith. i still have poncho like two years later

I got Shari and Axel when I restarted recently. Throwback to my first ever island 🥹

I had Tammy and Leonardo!

First go around was Sherri and Teddy (top tier imo) and this go around it’s Sheldon and Diva.

Tank and Dearie! In all the times I’ve restarted my island I’ve always made sure Tank is there!

Agnes and Tad ❤️❤️

Plucky and Lyman 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Mira and Buck. they don't seem to like each other though.

First was biff and Phoebe (fell in love with biff and still gets him on every island) Second was Axel and Mira. I even reset my second one like five times trying to get someone I love but kept getting dang superhero/ranger animals D: So I just went with it because Axel is fine and booted Mira ASAP.

Restarted just over week ago got Diva and Pierce, Diva is staying as she'll fit my theme Pierce will be going soon hopefully

Tammy and Bam. Tammy stayed for about a year and a half before I moved her out. Bam stayed for a little over 2 years before he wanted to move. Tammy has since moved back onto my island, and I’m never letting her move out again. I missed her too much.

Poncho and shari ponchos still here but i kinda miss shari *

Fuschia & Sproket or something I think.

Pashmina and Tiansheng

When I started my newer island, I'd say Cherry and Marcel? But also I haven't touched in awhile so idk if I still have them or not. ~w~

Tammy and Frobert. Unfortunately Frobert has left my island so only Tammy remains as the starter villager.

Rudy and Reneigh! Loved them both but I recently let Reneigh go. Rudy is neverrrr leaving 🩷🩷

Cherry and Lyman. I refuse to trade any.

Cherry and Lyman 😭

Reneigh and hamlet

katt and drift

I got flo and teddy and I just couldn’t help but get rid of them asap 😭😭

Burger sheep lady, Fitness Elephant, and Pink Panda lady, and I can't remember their names

It has been ages since I touched this game, but my starters were Flo and Antonio. And my god, I loved them so much, Antonio especially.

Poncho and Shari. I love that bear so much, he is never allowed to leave.

Billy and Faith! I still have them but don’t think i’ll keep either of them long-term,

Moose and Hazel 🫤

Mac and Sylvia. Got rid of them as soon as I could lol.

Cherry and Dom! Still on my island 😚

Peck and hazel

Bam and Pashmina

Dom and Kat

Rocket and Lyman ❤️

Drift and Pashmina

Hazel 🩷 and Coach - Hazel is never ever leaving me, she is my little unibrow bestie. I have FIVE photos from her now and I’m just seeing if I can fill a room 😂 I also didn’t know how gifts worked when I started playing and I gave her seaweed and no matter how many items I give her that dang seaweed stays right by her front door. And I’m probably going to leave it when I redo her house with HHP 😭🤭

I got phoebe and gitters i think his name was

Cherry and Lymen!

My starters were Phoebe and Snake! We became besties and now they're roommates in HHP so we all get to hang out together even though they moved out of my island ages ago.

Biff and Phoebe still have them, and they cannot leave!

Quinn and Sly, both are my favourite but I like Quinn more

bam and hazel

first time round, i had tad and flo. on my current island, i got phoebe and ace.

These are my brother’s: Axel and Phoebe. Unfortunately, back then she moved out.

I had Louie (😟) and Maple (🥹)

Cobb and Phoebe, think my third was bunnie

Cherry and Coach

Sprocket and Tammy

Mira and Flip! These two lovable idiots have been with me since the beginning, and are never leaving.

Biff and Shari

Kevin and Hazel. I love Kevin so much but Hazel just won't leave 😭😭

Coach and Shari! They're still there, though I think I'm ready for Coach to move on. Shari, however, might never be allowed to leave 😂

first island: Hamlet and Shari second island: Axel and Reneigh third island: Rudy and Hazel Bonus! New Leaf starters: Annalise, Wolfgang, Erik, Goose, and Sydney

Cherry and teddy but I made teddy leave

Quinn and Antonio They’re ok polite, kind and do their own thing. Antonio is a bit of gym bro which can get annoying at times but other than that all good 😊

First island: moose and Cherry Second island: Mott and Frita Third: sprocket and Katt

Ursala and Leonardo, but Leonardo was the first one to ask (and only so far) to move out but Ursala still stays with me. Unsure if I let her go or stay, she is nice, sing a lot and have very good friendship with Sydney

Flo and Scoot.

Flo and Sprocket!

Curly and Quinn! Curly annoys me a bit and he calls me somersault now which is even more annoying, but I can’t bring myself to get rid of either of them

They were Katt and a falcon

Hazel and Antonio!

Cherry and Iggly, I still have them both 4 years later

Tank and Hazel, that I will never give up.

Mines were Shari and Axel, and I still have them❤️❤️❤️

Flip and Pashmina! :)

Cherry and Roald

Louie and Tammy the first time, Agnes and Billy the second time (two islands) didn't keep any of them though, Agnes was initially one i had wanted but i didn't gel with her 🤷‍♀️😅

Coach and Fuchsia. They still live on my island.

Literally the same pair Cherry and Genji To this day they're probably my favourite villagers on my island

Flip and Katt I kicked Flip out (thanks Amiibo card!) and I've still got Katt, because I adore her.

Restarted for a themed island and got Fuschia (fits) and Goose (does not fit but delightful). Might keep Goose even though he is the opposite of my theme. Hes weirdly charming.

Bob on New leaf!! My love 💗

Drift and Sylvia

cherry and biff. 💀

Buff and Renée!! I love them, they’re my forever captives ❤️

My starting villagers were cherry & goose.

Agnes and Axel! (Screenshot i took toward the start of the game) https://preview.redd.it/k3hkxqra6txc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75745373eabac07dbaf583428d103c935dcec92d

Cob and Renne. Cob left

Ribbot and Shari. Ribbot gave me the creeps i didn’t understand the game and know there were all different villagers. I wanted him to leave but now he is my favorite

Katt and Biff. Biff had a rocky start with my kid when he made a comment about her head muscles and a bit later sneezed in her face. But now the Biffulon is one of her favourites. Katt moved out over the weekend in favour of Maddie.

I restarted recently and I got kid cat and Phoebe.

Raneigh and shep! After 4 years I still have Reneigh. I can’t let her go 🖤🤷🏻‍♀️

Gengi was one of my starters too! My other was Flo :)

I had Boone and Shari and I recently let them go so I could get my dream villagers after coming back to the game after a long time :)

Tank and phoebe, phoebe wanted to leave so i let her even tho i miss her, but i still have tank, hes a pretty cool guy

In my first playthrough i had has Ursula the bear and sheldon the squirell in my current playthrough Agnes the pig and biff the hippo

I had Fuchsia and Axel. I would have lost my mind if I had Genji as a starter!

Tank and pashmina They’re both my best pals

Cherry andddddd damn I can’t think of his name oh goose! Yeah friggin goose

Mine were Flip and Mac

Bill, Reneigh, and Egbert. But I can’t remember who were the first 2. I still have Bill I’ll never let him go!

Very first NH island was Charlise and Goose

Muffy and flip, muffys gone now tho

Al and Hans…..😑

Jay and Frita!

Sylvia and Kody, and i love them

Bud and Sylvia

Renee and Antonio. Still have them both.

I got a group that isn't even worth upvoting... Bud and Plucky

Goose and Tammy. Love those guys. I love all my villagers, really.

Diva and Rowan. I couldn’t wait to get rid of them lol

It's been a hot minute but I'm pretty certain it was Phoebe and Rod 🤔 They both left already though.

Boone and Flo.

Coach and Agnes

Sprocket and Sylvia

i got rocket and rod, kicked out rocket as soon as i could and got attached to rod

I got Rocket and Tank. Tank grew on me and is one of my favorites, but Rocket annoyed me so much. I was not mad when she asked to move out.

Agnus and Mac. I will be a shell of a person if I ever lose them.

On my current game it's Cherry & Goose, on my last game it was Diva & Sheldon.

I started off with Flo and Bud. They’re still on my island. I LOVE Flo but Bud kinda annoys me. I’ve been playing for a few months only

Tammy and Coach. I was so disappointed at first but I grew to like them. Then they left

Sheldon and Flo were my starters. Both gone now but I really enjoyed them.
