the doof

[inertgeometry]

gotta say, none of these are really doing much for me, but i’m not a big doofer stan

there are a few which are decent and i’d like to see more in the art style tho

[lookaclara]

I really like Bidoof, but I also am feeling a bit underwhelmed by these options! I thought I’d be more wow-ed. Some are really nice but I’m surprised that there isn’t more variety in the composition of the cards!

[lyleberr]

Hmmm, now i know that Im not a trustworthy critic. I have no strong feelings for bidoof and maybe its because its such a simplistic pokemon but I think i vited for the most in this poll. I found myself voting for more than expected and even the ones I didnt vote for I thought looked pretty good. Maybe its because a lot are generic happy scenes, slight goofiness, nice scenery, etc. Even though the poses dont change much, almost all of then feel very much “a day in the life of”.

I also voted for most of them. Most of these give off either some sense of pleasantness, calm or just plain old fun. All things I love to see in Pokemon art

[joponnes]

Same! I read the first posts and thought i was the only one voting for majority of entries here, perhaps a polarising poll but i like the good vibe bidoof produces

[lookaclara]

Don’t get me wrong, I love how cute and derpy Bidoof is. Bidoof Day should be celebrated every year haha I just am surprised at how many of the entries are so similar, instead of doing some new poses or adding variety into the art of (e.g. plants in the background, other pokemon featured, different poses) !

[holoshedinja]

This is spectacular…

[tcgmaine]

I am very much in the “I voted for most of these” camp, haha. I’m not even a huge bidoof fan, but I really enjoyed most of these!

+1

last call for the doof, although this one has received a decent amount of participation compared to the last couple
