Now this is a community list so people from the Animal Crossing community have voted on this and it's actually coming from Animal Crossing portal. In this list, we’ll go through the 10 most popular villagers for July 2020, and tell you why they’re so desirable.

New Leaf Villager List

Top 10 - Beau

Beau has always been a really popular character, he was introduced in Animal Crossing New Leaf and he's a lazy deer, he has always been insanely popular. Back in Animal Crossing new leaf days he was hugely popular probably one of the absolute most popular villages in the game and it's good to see that hasn't changed. I think he has a really cool house in the game as well the only thing that I can't unsee about him is if you look at his eyes they're like human skin tone which makes it look like he's wearing a deer costume like he's a person wearing a deer costume.

Top 9 - Ankha

Ankha is one of those characters who has been really popular for such a long time. In fact, at a time she probably was one of the absolute most popular characters in the game. She's still a great character and still clearly beloved by players because she has such a unique sort of theme tire, she is an Egyptian cat, it fits so well and if you can get lucky on your island as well you could have these two living together and I think that'd be a perfect combination. She also has a really amazing house, The interior of her house continues to follow the Egyptian trend, as the walls and floor are covered in hieroglyphics, and the room is filled with pieces of furniture made out of solid gold (including a toilet!). Wrapping everything together is a large piece of Great Pyramid furniture in the middle of the room. She’s in very high demand on the Animal Crossing market.

Top 8 - Audie

This is a peppy wolf character and she was actually introduced for the very first time in Animal Crossing New Horizons, so that makes her quite a special character. She has a cool appearance, as her orange and yellow color scheme makes her look like fire, and it contrasts nicely with her blue sunflower shirt. Audie has some cool accessories as well, she has her Gucci shades which are just incredible and you can actually wear a pair of these yourself in the game. She also has awesome house decorations, the inside of her home looks like a tiki bar you'd find at a tropical resort. Finally, she's very positive and always has something friendly to say, making her very easy to get along with. So if you want to match with Audie you can do that.

Top 7 - Roald

Roald is a very famous Animal Crossing villager, he is a chunky meme boy who has some really popular memes about him on Twitter. He's actually a jock personality type penguin who may surprise some of you. He works out, he's pretty swole, you could put the instant muscle suit on him to get a really good effect. His appearance is believed to be inspired by Roald Amudsen, who was the first person to ever reach Antarctica. As if that wasn’t enough, he decorates the interior of his house with ice sculptures; I imagine just so that he can show them off to you when you come and visit him.

Top 6 - Marina

Marina is really adorable, she's always been hugely popular. I used to trade for villages in the Animal Crossing forums back in the day and she was always one of the ones who was going for a ton of Bells back then. So Marina was one of those characters that was highly sought. She's one of those characters that when you do get her living in your town or Island you tend to feel really happy about it. Her name originates from Latin, meaning ‘of the sea’, which is spot on considering that she’s an octopus. Her tendency to cover everything with pink extends to her house, wallpaper, and flooring. So if you want somewhere shocking to retreat to, she’s the Villager you need.

Top 5 - Judy

If you’ve never seen Judy, you’re not likely to forget her anytime soon. Quite a lot of people call her creepy and they don't like her eyes. But I really like her eyes which are basically stars that shine out of her head, making her look like she could blind you if you stared at her for long enough. Judy is obsessed with style and will natter to you about it whenever she gets the opportunity. You’ll find that her house matches her look if you manage to get her to move in with you. Maybe she doesn't have the most fans out there but she's got to be popular enough to make it to number five on this community voted list, so it's good to see Judy get some of the love.

Top 4 - Zucker

So many people talking about him which is justified because he has such a unique design and he's one of the rare octopus villagers in Animal Crossing. Zucker is quite possibly the most popular octopus of the bunch and certainly the top lazy villager, he is an innocent and adorable freckled octopus with a food-like appearance. Should you ever have the opportunity to invite Zucker into your town, do it. And if he does become a resident of your island, make sure he never leaves.

Top 3 - Sherb

Sherb is apparently loved by people and that's totally fair, he is a new blue male Goat villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons with the lazy personality, and he's probably the cutest goat in the game. He has two grey and white striped horns, as well as the insides of his ears being yellow. His eyes are wide and friendly, and he has pink cheeks. He has subtle forest green-colored irises. The interior of his house is decorated with numerous items from the Cute set in the sky blue variant, including the cute bed, cute floor lamp, cute DIY table, cute wardrobe, cute sofa, and a cute tea table. He uses the purple desert-tile wall for wallpaper, and simple purple flooring for flooring.

Top 2 - Raymond

Raymond is the first smug cat in the game is one of those characters who is so popular, he has multicolored eyes and many players are willing to shell out millions of bells, hundreds of Nook Miles Tickets, and, in some cases, even real money to obtain this coveted cat villager. However, Raymond has earned the dislike of many players, actually I really like him he's one of my faves, he’s such a popular character and he's made a big sort of cultural impact. Even if you don't want to keep him, Raymond is a great villager to have move in just so you can swap him for some Nook Miles tickets.

Top 1 - Marshal

Marshal is a cream-colored squirrel with the smug personality type, his popularity likely comes from the fact that smug personalities will sometimes flirt with the player. Marshal was introduced in New Leaf and was stayed one of the most popular villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons for July 2020, he is adorable and grumpy looking, but he's actually quite friendly even though he does look grumpy. Marshal is so popular his Amiibo card can reach triple digits on auction sites. He's enough on those characters that goes for a ton of new Nook Miles Tickets, so if you have Marshall when you want to get rid of him, you could probably get some good NMT for or you could just give him away.

There are 397 villagers that can join your community in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but your island can only house 10 of them at once. If you’d like to fill your island with winners, odds are you’ll have to evict a villager or two — and one of them might be Rodney. There are three ways for you to do that, bringing your island slightly closer to perfection. Figuring out what's best for you involves deciding exactly what kind of bully you are.

3. Use an amiibo or invite somebody new

You can utilize amiibo to invite a new villager to your island. Before making the move, the potential camper will ask you to craft an item. Continue to fulfill their item requests until the villager accepts your offer to move into the island.

If your island is at maximum capacity, the villager will mention striking a deal with somebody on the island to move out. You can choose the villager who they’ll attempt to negotiate with, allowing you to replace the villager with the one featured on the amiibo card.

Alternatively, if you don't have an amiibo, you can utilize the internal island recruitment feature. If a camper from the Campsite joins your island while full, a random resident will be evicted. You can try resetting the game to make sure they replace an undesirable tenant, but the unpredictability of this method makes it a challenge.

2. How to get a specific villager to leave organically

If you’d like to evict a villager organically in the traditional fashion, you need quite a bit of patience. A villager that has a thought bubble over their head is often thinking of leaving, and all you have to do is talk to them to be given the option of encouraging them to stay or leave.

There’s no way to guess who will receive the thought next, but you can manipulate the system in your favor. According to Animal Crossing’s preeminent data miner, Ninji, being able to boot a villager follows a few under the hood statistics:

• Every villager has a friendship level that can be increased by interacting with them positively or decreased by treating them poorly. Villagers closer to 0 are more likely to get the thought bubble.
• You need at least six villagers living on your island to begin evicting anyone
• The more villagers you have on your island, the likeiler it is that one will consider leaving.
• The likelihood of a “move out” thought bubble appearing increases by one point every day you don’t interact with somebody weighing if they should leave. This number caps out at 30 points.
• If you have a conversation with somebody about staying or leaving, the count will be reset. There will then be a five day cooldown period before it begins again. To avoid this, quit your game mid-conversation if a villager you want to stay brings up leaving.
• Certain villagers are excluded from being selected for eviction. Those who can’t be kicked include villagers currently moving their house, villagers who had a birthday within the last week, and villagers who most recently asked to stay or go. There’s also some evidence that your most recent tenant can’t be evicted.

With all that in mind, you can try taming the system by avoiding the villager you’d like to remove. Make sure that you never give them gifts as well. Also, dabble in bullying to make them extra uncomfortable. The game recognizes bullying as hitting villagers with nets three consecutive times, pushing a villager for an extended period, and dropping a villager into a pitfall. Do everything listed, and any villager will hate you in no time!

If you can drop every conversation about moving, it should take a little over 30 days to definitely remove the villager of your choosing.

1. Use time travel to boot your least favorite villager.

Though it’s controversial to utilize time travel — manually adjusting the date and time on your Nintendo Switch console to artificially move forward or backward in time within the game — when kicking out a villager it becomes a necessary evil. YouTuber TagBackTV discovered that you can evict just about anyone in 8 easy steps.

1. Pick a villager you’d like to evict.
2. Find that villager wandering around your island. If they’re not present, find out the hours they would wander.
3. Once you’ve found them wandering, talk to them. Also, take note of the current time and date in your game. That villager will always be outside at this time.
4. Time travel 30 days forward
5. Search your villagers for a thought bubble, implying moving out.
6. If no thought bubble is present, continue time traveling by single-day increments until one pops up.
7. Once it pops up, continue time traveling by single-day increments until it reaches the villager you’d like to evict.
8. Return to your original date with one less villager.
