Villagers with extremely unique looks always have a considerable fanbaseMikodesu wrote: ↑Jun 03, 2024 8:22 am Good to know about Animal Crossing Portal! I've done some 'out of curiosity' popularity googling and wasn't sure what could be trusted. Though really...can you trust any list that puts Pietro in the top 50?![]()
There's definitely rhyme/reason to most of the lowest tier at least... With a few exceptions. (Why hate for Butch? He's just a dog. Anti-Rottweiler bias?)

With that Tier List thing...I REALLY wish there was an option to see the popularity of the villagers across ALL TIME. What you see when you go is different every month, since the list reorganizes it self by the number of votes a character has gotten at the start of each month. Butch dropped 80 points on June 1. But other than the top rank and the very bottom rank, the characters that everyone always loves and hates, everyone else can jump around WILDLY, like 200 positions in a single month.
If you could see the results averaged out since the list began, that would give a much better picture of how popular each villager really is. As it is, it's only a good indicator of how well-remembered villagers were in the previous month. It's a trend-watcher. The least memorable characters are the ones who fare the worst.
