I do sometimes—typically in phases after a year or two of hiatus. I've been playing off and on since launch, and I still have my original town from June 2013. I have a second town with all squirrels, also. It was by mistake that they're all female and my MC is male, so he gets flooded by letters on Valentine's Day
In seriousness I would like to make a farm style town someday, or at least inspired by old HM. With apples as the native fruit, villagers matching the theme, vegetable patch patterns/paths, and four player houses (named after old protags) with rustic themes.
And perhaps I will return someday for Pretendo, because I missed the last day when 3DS servers were up. RIP 3DS era. I'm not a gamer by any means, but it does have most of my favorites.
