He aspired to be the best explorer ever, so he left his hometown to be an apprentice at the guild. Bidoof was the newest member of the guild before the player and their partner came to train, and was always making some sort of mistake. Because of his incompetence, he was only trusted with basic chores and errands. | ||
Once, on a trip to [[Treasure Town]], Bidoof met a {{p|Snover}} that had been running from some Pokémon. The Snover had a map to [[Star Cave]], which they wound up exploring together. At the end of the cave, Bidoof finds out that Snover had been working with the Pokémon that were chasing him the day before to mug him, but he was saved by the | Once, on a trip to [[Treasure Town]], Bidoof met a {{p|Snover}} that had been running from some Pokémon. The Snover had a map to [[Star Cave]], which they wound up exploring together. At the end of the cave, Bidoof finds out that Snover had been working with the Pokémon that were chasing him the day before to mug him, but he was saved by the guild. {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} finds a way for him to go further in the cave, where he meets {{p|Jirachi}}. After battling a sleeping Jirachi, Bidoof wishes for some new apprentices to join the guild, who turn out to be the player and their partner. | ||

His lacking experience at exploring and status as one of the most junior members of the guild is a recurring element in his character portrayal, and gets him into trouble multiple times, such as when he reveals the guild members during the player's graduation exam. His big appetite is noted on several occasions, and is documented in {{mdc|Sunflora|2}}'s ''Oh My Gosh Diary''. He often uses the interjection "by golly", and frequently punctuates his dialogue with the phrase "yup yup", which he also includes in the title of his diary. | ||
His character was fleshed out in [[Bidoof's Wish]], revealing that exploring has been a life long dream. His naivety is shown as he is duped by a band of thieves into being alone with them, giving them the chance to rob him. His goodness is also further proved when he finds {{p|Jirachi}} and is granted a wish. He turns down the opportunity to instantly become a great explorer, and instead wishes for "a {{tt|buddy or two|Revealed as the player character and their partner Pokémon}}" that he could help, show around and give support to. This may explain his reaction when he first meets the player. | His character was fleshed out in [[Bidoof's Wish]], revealing that exploring has been a life long dream.
