Moving
In the Animal Crossing series, animal neighbors will move out after staying in your town for awhile, though some, but rarely, will move out only a few days after you start the game. Some neighbors are easier to convince to stay than others, while other neighbors can be tough to get to leave. If a neighbor asks to move away, you have the choices of saying either "Don't go!" or "Moving time!"/"Please move!" Different animals have different responses. If an animal has been thinking on whether to move or not for quite a few days (even a week), he or she will move away. It may take the villager anywhere from almost a day to a few days to pack and leave. Once a villager moves out, his or her house vanishes and leaves behind a patch of dirt and a signpost. A couple days after a move, a new villager will move in on top of a signpost somewhere in your town.
If the villager that moved was the only animal in town to have a certain personality, then another animal of the same personality will move in- this ensures that there is a balance of characters in the game.
