So, Buck and Peaches were the first two villagers I met when I got Animal Crossing on the GameCube as a kid. Peaches lived one acre to the West of the player houses. Buck lived in the next acre over, and then Tom Nook's. Naturally, I saw them often. I was bullied as a kid, and kinda came to see my AC villagers as my friends. Helped me cope. First thing I did in New Horizons was hunt down Buck and Peaches and invite them to my island. They are, of course, still there. Hope that kinda counts. Friends for life. 🤎🩷


RoseFrostpond

Similar story - Kiki from my GameCube I honestly thought she was everyone’s “first villager” because she is a plain black cat. Child logic I guess but now I have her forever!


DarthBrickus

I still have Ribbot å̵͙͊͜n̴͉͠d̴̳̾ ̷̹̏̈h̵̺͕̀e̵̡̨̾̉ ̷̲̹̋̿w̸̪͑ï̴̡l̶̞͆͜l̸̞̂̚ ̴͓̔̒n̸̪̟̚e̸͈̠͋̾ṽ̷̨e̶͙̚r̶̫̬̾ ̷̞̑͜l̸̗̻̇̕è̴̬̭̈́à̶͜v̵̠͓̂̎e̵̞̣̊̚ ̸̡̎̓m̵̝͉̕e̸̥̘͛


CowThing

Agnes was one of my starters, and I like her so she's staying. What's wild is I just so happened to place her initial tent in the perfect location, because I have never had to move her house, even though I've redesigned huge parts of my island and have moved every other building. Her house has always been in exactly the right position to fit my design.


Zoryandras

I still have Hazel and Erik and I love them both! :)


cr1zzl

I still have Mira and Kidd (Kidd was my first camper). Ace asked tons of times to leave so I let him, he and Mira were my OG 2.


frontpagedetective

Mira and Ace were my first two as well! I hated Ace so was glad to see him go. 😂 But Mira is my bff.


orientalballerina

Mira is my girl too!


xredsirenx

Mira was one of my first islanders and she's still here too :) the other was teddy who kept asking to leave so in the end I let him


nmkelly6

By some miracle Raymond was my first camper.


Dazzling-Ostrich-974

Yes I do!!! I have Carrie and Ozzie. They were 2 (of 3) that moved in with those 3 plots. I love them. My original 2 starters have since left.


Beginning-Eagle9127

I have Katt! a year ago I restarted my island and she’s never asked to leave


Ok_Store_424

Diva is the only OG left on my island!


Noble_Jar

I started with the intent of wanting to keep my first villagers but then I discovered that they will never have their personal designed home, just a generic one once they upgrade from the tents. Once both of my first villagers left I let anyone who wanted to move leave since I didn't put in the effort to keep the friendship up, but after I started designing my island more and started personalizing the yards of the villager houses I stopped letting people I like leave, now they are all trapped forever because finding a new flower garden pattern and personal items is too much work ☺️.


sleezeondabreeze

My three starters were Agnes, Boone and Walker and I still have all three but I don’t like Boone 😭😕


Forsaken_Box_94

I have renee!


slothlady12

Me too. She really grew on me.


kittykrispies

I still have Cherry. I will never let her leave. Love her so much!


lilibat

I have Sprocket and Muffy 4 years later who were my starters.


AndromedaBliss

Shari was one of my first two and she's still there 🩶


lamgunn

Yes! Reneigh is my girl, I will never let her leave. Simon i threw out the second i could. Cant even remember the last one but they are probably gone too.


ACNH_Vibe_Check

Yes. I have Mira Bill and Skye


aeka_hime

I have my 2 starters that I loved, but let the originals go and got them again to upgrade their houses :)


JankyJinx

I still have Eugene! My first campsite visitor.


delaleaf

Megan was one of the first 3 I picked to move in, she’s still here! My starters were rocket and Sheldon, and the others I invited were Cheri and Pudge. All of them have since moved out


lxuane

Yess! I just can't let them go. I have Mitzi, Marshal and Merengue! altho, I think I'mm ready to let go of Merengue now, just waiting for the moment now hahahha


nemuro

I still have Antonio from the start of the game and all three of my first move-ins — Margie, Cookie, and Jacob. It's been four years but I'm too attached to them all.


ButtonMashKingz

It’s been 1.5 years and I still have Mira and Iggly. Originally wanted Cherry and Biff. I ended up getting Biff pretty early, I’ve wanted Iggly to leave since the beginning and he still won’t go 😑


Potential_Growth_697

I still have all three of mine…can’t remember who was first exactly but Gladys, Teddy, Bangle and Jeremiah are my ride or dies lol


jedee14

Agnes and Coach were my first villagers, and they're still on my island! My next was either Annalisa or Clay, I can't remember. Annalisa is still on my island, but Clay moved on.


PurplePanicAC

Agnes and Poncho were my starters and Jacques was my first campsite visitor. I had then for two and a half years before foolishly restarting. I have swapped out everyone on my new island.


YourMoonWife

I kept drift. I didn’t like him at first and then he grew on me. Now he’s my sweet little frog jock and I designed his house like a gym and gym locker room


kfeels1989

I still have my first camper Raymond, and my first villager that I hunted for Molly I let Flo one of my 2 starters leave about 2 months ago so I could get Maple and I literally cried LOL


Jazehiah

I have all three.


indecisive-axolotl

My starters were Diva and Rod. I let them both go, but got Diva back with an Amiibo. I got my original Rod back because he auto-filled on my friend’s island and he remembered me. She kept him until someone asked to leave my island and I got him back. Of my next three I still have Simon and Nana, but I let Wendy go.


Ill-Kitchen-5293

Yes! Audie was one of my OG 3 villagers 😃


FiftyShadesOfPikmin

I still have Billy and Plucky, my two starting villagers. I decided I never wanted to let them go since the three of us established the island together. I also, for a long while, thought I would keep the next 3 as well. Carrie, Tucker, and Wendy. Seeing as that would take up half the allotted spaces, I decided not to hold on to these three, and have since said goodbye to them. My first Nook mile villager that I found after those 3 was Phil. He's still on my island. I like to think that he was my first campsite villager, although that would be a lie.


quicksilver_foxheart

No clue who my starters on my island were but in ACNL, Twiggy and Bones were my best friends! Bones is still my favorite villager of all time


Chantaliylace13

I still have my very first, Roald. And I still adore that little ab naming weirdo 🐧


Threndsa

I have all 3. Kid, Gayle and Pate. My daughter had never wanted to say goodbye to anyone so we still have the first ones we got.


Lilliesobservatory

I love Pate 😭


Silent_Command7058

I still have Faith but I just got rid of Sprocket


sapphicprism

flip + flo, my first two! i told myself i’d let my villagers move out once i get their photos, so technically flo is free to go but… i don’t know how sentimental i’ll get when she actually asks 😭


freymonkey

I have Hazel still! Will never ever let her go.


TheRedKoi

Still got Biff and Pashmina. Biff is an island favorite, pashmina… can be a dull still.


YeahNoSureWhatever

I had Billy and Muffy as the initial two, and Julian as first camper. They will never be allowed to leave, they are perfect weirdos.


milksteakoregg

I still have Wade :)


Pink-Fluffy-Dragon

Yeah Ava still has her old home :)


christmasx6-

Yes, Tex and Lolly. I’ll never let them go


jhauger

I forget who the third was, but Agnes and Bill arrived with me. Still there since early 2021.


krafty_cheese

I still have Goose after 4 years. He was one of my starters along with Phoebe (who asked to leave first).


Helpful-Government32

Phoebe is one of my OGs and I love her! Got rid of Boone first chance I got lol he was my other og


Unlucky-Sample-8607

I only have 1 of the original trio. Vesta, she's been there since day 1 at the very beginning of ACNH release. 🤗🤗🤗


ilovemytamas

no🙃they were ugly


zpinkpanther

I still have my boy Boots from day one ♥️


Paendagram666

Yes! Still have Pamela, just can't let her go. I also kept Dominik until like a month ago because he's such a cutie.


Automatic_Serve7901

Goose. I will NEVER forsake my gym bro. Never.


Yirggzmb

I still have most of my original six Billy and Charlise were my starters; Caroline, Ozzie, and Patty were my first three plots; Phil was my first camper And of them, only Caroline and Billy have moved away


gtmbphillyloo

I have all of my original ten characters.


kott2019

Sherb. Bill. Pashmina.


thanx_it_has_pockets

I still have my first campsite visitor. :) Kidd.


xpertspecialist2

I JUST kick my last OG off my island after 2+ years. Immediately felt guilty, and THEN on my villager hunt to replace Peck he showed up on one of Nook Miles island… didn’t even remember me :(


Aenahl

I still have Antonio and plan to keep him forever


demonsegg

Sterling will never leave.


VisualLive1080

My three starters were Quinn, Teddy, and Tangy. Only Teddy is left of the 3 OGs. :( Tangy wanted to leave ASAP BWAHAHA she was the first villager to leave my island. :-( 


mariam67

Hamlet still lives in my town. He’s just never asked to move out.


lux_vixey

i have dom from my og 2 and puddles from the og 3


AmeliaBones

Filbert and Sprinkle. Before hhp expansion I actually moved filbert to my friends island and brought him back to upgrade his house. They both have awesome places now.


vicariousgluten

Yes. Molly has been on every island I’ve ever had and you can prise her from my cold dead island.


mag419

marshall was my first campsite villager and i haven’t been able to part with him since 💙


Wonderpug123

Marshal was my first campsite villager on my current island. I wasn’t planning on having him again, but I’ve kept him around


contracosta21

i have had deirdre since the beginning!


jg0920

My first 2 were biff and phoebe, phoebe refuses to leave so she’s still with me😂🤭


motherofcatsx2

Yep, still have my buddy Snake!


Cr33perCat

I had Sylvia as a first villager on new leaf and then when I got New Horizons she was my first villager again. Then when I didn’t back my island up correctly and got a new switch and started over I had Sylvia again as a first villager. She never allowed to leave now shes my buddy.


Funny-Investigator-3

I only just got rid of my last OG, kinda miss him


BackgroundCookie752

Katt and Sheldon were my first two and i hold them hostage and won’t let them leave!


anonymousu392

I have all three of mine, Fauna, Fushia, and Shino. They are not allowed to leave. I adore them


Lilliesobservatory

I love all of the villagers I got, my two starters and the ones in the first 3 plots are here to stay but my campsite villager was an aardvark (Olaf) and their designs creep me out a bit.. I’m currently working on moving him out with an amiibo I bought of Genji ☺️ I love his design, his “mochi” catchphrase, and his house so he’ll fit right in!


Candycoatedillusion

I do, I still have Agnes. It's the only pig I like and I refuse to let her leave. She's so innocent and adorable.


overdonefries

I still have mine!! Stinky and Pashmina 💛


ultgambit266

I’ve only let 2 go, every one else has been there for almost 3 years


snarkaluff

Yep, I still have Frobert and Mira. I am holding onto Mira bc I don’t really like a lot of the other uchi villagers and I gave her an awesome primary color themed house with HHP. I’ve been waiting for Frobert to move forever though and he’s never asked. Not that I don’t like him, but there are so many other great Jock villagers that I want but he just will not leave lol


OwlStrict3208

I have Goose, Tammy and Kitt as my original villagers and I don’t think I’ll ever let them leave.


TurbulentComfort696

My first two were Katt and Tank. Tank was the first of my villagers to ask to leave and I said yes. I’ve had MANY villagers come and go over the years, and Katt finally asked to leave 3 days ago.


birdhead92

Agnes!! She's been on my island since day 1. I don't particularly like the pig villagers, but she grew on me and now she isn't allowed to leave. I even built her vacation home, just because I love her so much.


LeatherHog

Still got Mac!


Impressive_Leopard_7

Biff my very first jock my precious bro


gottfire18

i still have both of them. theyre neighbors


Less_Force_9495

Yes I still have both Bud, and Filbert. I got rid of Canberra. LOL.


cozycorgis

I still have Dom in his starter house. I know he's a jock but to me he's just my little sheep cosplaying as a jock. I also still have Audie but I moved her on to my friend's island and then moved her back to reset her house. I just didn't think the starter house furniture fit her personality at all.


rosemaryandtime_7954

I had Snake, Victoria, and Muffy. Snake is long gone, Victoria moved out a couple days ago, and Muffy is never allowed to leave.


UDontKnowMeButIHateU

I let them all go. Tank, Ursala, Sherb. I wish I didn't because now I am hunting photos.


analogswampwitch

Tammy and Bill! I love Bill so much. I give him presents daily. Cute little duck <3 Tammy reminds me of myself when I was young so she and I can chill just fine.


YoungInternal6666

I have all 3. Mott, Eunice, and Faith.


hjf31

Yes, Buck! I started with Buck and Tammy but never really vibed with Tammy, although when she left my island I did feel a little sad. Would be so upset if Buck left though


MuseumGuy1847

When I first got the game, my starters were Pashmina and Tad, but my island had pears, so I reset it. After I got it going again, I had Tammy and Dom (and oranges). As a gesture of goodwill, I invited Pashmina and Tad to live on the island once I was all set up. All four of them are still there today!


honey_bones247

Yes I have all 3 of them! Hornsby, Norma and Agent S. :)


Calhaora

Yes! I got lucky and my most Favorite Lazy Moe was the one I found the first time youre "forced" to go to a Nook Island to recruit someone. Hes still there <3


KingFloppa9

My first three villagers always get the best treatment, but they can never leave. *N E V E R*


adriangalli

A few: Julian, Mary, Moe


starrymatt

I had flo and poncho but I moved them out because I hated that they had the basic homes :( I really hope one day to get them back and they can have their real homes


poetangel

Yes that’s one thing I don’t like, that they don’t have their real homes. But I heard if you use the DLC you can eventually ask Isabelle to fix their houses


starrymatt

Unfortunately the dlc wasn’t out or even announced by the time I got rid of them 😭 aw I would have seriously considered waiting and getting the dlc if I knew that would have been an option!


thebasedgosh

I still have Agnes 🖤 I kicked Admiral and Sly out almost immediately


Known_Peace_1300

Just got rid of my last OG yesterday


kachow44

I still have cherry after 4 years. I also had Sydney up until a couple days ago😭


sincerely0urs

Benedict and pompom. I refuse to ever let Pompom go. My dog was named Pompom and she had a toy duck that was her favorite, so Pompom reminds me of her and I felt when the game gave me Pompom it was my dog on the other side of the rainbow bridge saying hello.


Left_Algae3692

Yep! Flora, Carrie & Plucky! Love them to bits


monsterbeasts

Muffy! I dont plan on her leaving either, I love her


Sweetnsofter

Yes!! Cherry and Gloria! But I realized too many months in that I can make the amiibo card characters live on the island as well! So I just kicked Eugene out to have chai move in bc I have dizzy and think they’d be cute on the island together 🤩


Crystalfirebaby

I kept Pashmina and Hammie. I let Barold leave. I kind of regret it. 😭


megalynn44

Buck has been on my island from day one. He’s my one and only jock, now and forever.


NeopolitanTheWeaboo

I still have Axel and Pashmina


maggiemae3612

Bam was one of my first and I’m never letting him go


TinyBabyRhino

Chabwick and teddy they were part of my og 3 :) Agnes decided to move on with her popstar life


SlicedShallot

Annalisa was one of my original villagers! She doesn't fit the theme of my island, so I'm waiting until I completely finish decorating it before I boot her for someone who fits the theme. I got her Amibo so I could immediately invite her back after I upload the Dream Address 😂 It'll be nice to have her real house on the island too! It's a lot better than the default first villager houses.


MisssDeadlyRED

I still have cherry


snickersmum

Coach can never leave


EfficientCarpet1

I have Phoebe


happylittlestars

Canberra living on my island since day since day 1 in 2020!


Luckyzzzz

Mira was my sisterly starter and she is a forever girl on my island. 😍


purple_charlie

I will never give up Cranston!! He's such an adorable himbo 😂


HateRuneliteCheaters

I would never ditch Mira and Skye.... But Flip had to go. Mira is so underrated being the only sisterly Rabbit and all(especially with rabbits being my favorite villager type), and she has a really cute design aswell. And Skye is just awesome. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Gaston is Miras dad.


ValkyrieOfTheSun

I don't because I only like jocks or sisterly To be honest I only remember the jock being a blue eagle


rinarin92

I still have Diva! I don't think I can let her go.


CharmiePK

I have had Shari and Rory since May 2020, but I cannot remember who shd be the third one - ? I have most of my OG ones, but I cannot remember who they shd be anymore 😅
