Eliminated:
[1] Mr. Resetti - hylianknight3

Todays elimination was very close, and marks the end of an era in some regards.

Mr. Resetti used to be one of the main faces of Animal Crossing, the others being Tom Nook and K.K. Slider. He would yell at you if you resetted your game, and you could not resume until you got through one of his rants. He became incredibly infamous. There exist claims from people saying that he made them cry when they were younger cause he was really that mean. He was at his worst in Wild World, where he would force you to type out phrases. It was like an inescapable contract.

At least, thats how it went in the first three games. In New Leaf, it is revealed he (alongside his more relaxed brother introduced in City Folk, Don) is going through tough times, and his service was no longer being thoroughly funded by the town. As the newly appointed mayor, however, you could choose to bring back Resettis rants. Despite it now being optional, Resettis dialogue was severely cut back in terms of meanness.

It gets worse in New Horizons. There, they introduced autosaving. Thus, Resettis original purpose is gone entirely. The developers claimed he would have a new job, and this resulted in some implied dialogue and not even a proper cameo. (Not sure if this was ever resolved with a future update since I quit the game fairly early on.)

When Resetti was brought in as an assist trophy in Brawl, Wild World was the newest Animal Crossing game, so naturally, hes REALLY mean here. He acts as an alternate Nintendog (coincidentally the last one saved today). Whereas Nintendog distracted you through unbearable cuteness, Resetti distracted you through constant speech bubbles. Youve got to admit though, it was cool how the developers (and translators) went out of their way to write new dialogue for this one assist trophy. Why is he even mad, anyway? You arent resetting the game whenever you summon him.

Resetti was the last Animal Crossing character left, after Isabelle (4, upgraded to playable) and Kappn (Ultimate). He was also the last Brawl exclusive remaining, after Helirin, Jill, Excitebikes, Ray Mk III, Barbara, and Little Mac (also upgraded to playable).

However, there is another, albeit minuscule, category of characters I havent mentioned yet. There exist another two assists who were cut in 4, Gray Fox and Isaac. However, they made surprise comebacks in Ultimate. Theyre also both still in.

One thing that Mr. Resetti is not is the last M character. Moon and Mother Brain are still in as well.

(Its been a while, but this was one of those characters that I thought deserved a full write-up.)
