@Batronyx@mastodon.social The reason this happens (and can still happen in New Horizons even, minus the emulator part) is because villagers who move out have the chance to move into the towns of people you visit with. In that specific circumstance, the villager gets copied/moved into the other player's town, rather than being a new copy. They have a limited memory of the town(s) and players they've known, and keep gifts given to them in their old town
