If you want a cute cute cute villager, then Rudy. He has a sweet open adorable face. Bam is also super cute but he has an intense scowling face. I love frown face Bam but also enjoyed having Rudy on my island. I also like Bam's house a bit more than Rudy's.
i love them both to death, but i would pick rudy in a heartbeat! i’ve only ever had him in new leaf, but he’s truly just the sweetest, most precious lil guy, and he’s ridiculously adorable as well! he makes the jock personality bearable for me. ☺
you honestly can’t go wrong with either of them, though. good luck!
Bam is one of my favorite villagers, so I gotta go with my boy. To be honest though, Rudy is a great villager as well. Overall a tough pick, but Bam would get the win in my book.
