What happens when you cross Pokémon with Pixar Shorts? You get Bidoof's Big Stand, known in Japan as Bippa, I Choose You!, an original online short created by Chinese-American studios TAIKO Studios (creator of One Small Step), starring Com Mon Bidoof to promote Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.The plot is a clumsy Bidoof tries to fit in, but she sadly can't. But when a Trainer comes nearby, she gets caught, but all the Trainer has it do is use HM moves. When a big Pokémon tournament comes up and the rest of the Trainer's team is toast, though, it's up to Bidoof to step in.This is a standalone short, unaffiliated with Pokétoon.The short can be viewed here.TAIKO Studios would later go on to create Pokémon: Path to the Peak (which is not set in the same world but rather the real world).

Canon Foreigner: None of the Trainers in the short are from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, though the protagonist trainer's design appears to borrow elements from both Lucas and Dawn.

Man Bites Man: This is how Bidoof defeats the rival trainer's Golem. It helps that Golem is basically made of rock, which Bidoof has no trouble gnawing through.

Ambiguous Situation: It’s unclear if the Staraptor on the rival trainer’s team is the same one Bidoof was attacked by early on.

Failed a Spot Check: Bidoof basically has to carve down a tree to show what it really wants from the Trainer. He still doesn't get it.

Ascended Meme: The very premise of this short is one; that Bidoof makes for a great HM slave. In the Sinnoh games, it is very common for players to form a party using a pool consisting of their starter, Staraptor, Luxray, Lucario, Togekiss, the evolution for the gift Eevee, Garchomp, and Bibarel. At the 4:20 mark, it shows that the focus trainer's team uses these exact Pokémon (sans Staraptor and Garchomp, while Bidoof is unevolved).

Oh, Crap!: The wild Staraptor that attacks Bidoof gets this look when the Trainer's Lucario sends an Aura Sphere their way. It then quickly flees.

Oblivious to Hints: No matter how many times Bidoof raises her paw or goes to extreme measures of showing what she wants by carving it on a tree, the Trainer never gets the hint that Bidoof wants to feel like she belongs on the team.

Determinator: No matter what, Bidoof will prove herself as a valuable Pokémon and member of the team. This gets proven in the final battle when she has to take down a Staraptor (which she fears since one tried to attack it in the past) despite being made to be an HM slave.

Deconstructed Character Archetype: The short shows what it's like if you're stuck as an HM slave. It's absolutely degrading and the mon is treated as an afterthought, not even allowed to battle because there are other heavy hitters tailored to that job, their movepool is only limited to the collection of HMs you give them (many of them being useless in battle anyway) and depriving them of experience and strength that they could get if they were battling. The trainer learns this the hard way when Bidoof is the last mon standing.

Innocently Insensitive: The Trainer doesn't mean to be insensitive to Bidoof at all, given the pets and berries he gives it's clear he is fond of Bidoof. His face when Bidoof is about to fight Gengar also indicates he is more worried about Bidoof getting in over her head.
