Animal Crossing May Be About Letting Villagers Leave

"It comes as no surprise that the main goal of many Animal Crossing players is to collect their favorite villagers and get them to stay in their town forever. It scratches that collectors itch that many games strive for, and with about 400 villagers and 35 different animal species, Animal Crossing has a formula where no two towns have the same group of animals. This would especially be the case if players let any villager move when they wished, however, that is not often the case with how people play the game." - click image for article
