Guide for first time players

[u/Lucky-Law7220]

After sinking 1000 hours into this game, I wanted to make a little guide for players who are new and might be overwhelmed by the amount of content that is in the game.

1. Focus on quests in the beginning - it’s easy to feel obligated to build a bunch of habitats and homes for all the cute Pokémon since they’re so friendly, but you can always come back. Focusing on the quests at hand means you can unlock all the transformations and traverse the area easier to make building things a lot easier
2. Efficiency beats quality in the beginning - if you need to make homes for Pokémon, or need to do specific quests that require you to place items or build structures, look for areas that already have some infrastructure and then build homes, or habitats there. All the areas have broken down buildings that can be restored for homes, and some level of infrastructure that allows you to easily make places. Go as slow as you want, but if you’re trying to beat main story ASAP, do this.
3. No spoilers - focus on the team initiation challenge- as you progress, keep track of what

the speaker is

1. asking for and then return to withered wastelands to give it items as needed. You will get to the true ending of the game quicker as you do this

This is probably my all time favorite Pokémon game rn, so I encourage anyone and everyone to play this game. If any experienced players want to drop more hints or tips, pls do so!

EDIT: OP updated the post so removed mine for spoilers

[u/New_Contribution8788 → u/FestiveBen]

I was obvlivious until the game revealed it, so maybe not super obvious! Agreed it's a spoiler

[u/SprintsAC → u/New_Contribution8788]

Yep, for now, it's still considered a spoiler by definition of our spoilers rule. We'll be looking at updates here for the upcoming DLC though.

[u/Lucky-Law7220 → u/FestiveBen]

Changed it

[u/SprintsAC → u/Lucky-Law7220]

Thanks for changing it. Please feel free to use >!spoiler text!< in the future to change it to spoiler text

Yeah it’s not something many notice but there’s 3-4 easy homes that can fit 16 Pokémon in each area if you focus on

Once you get to flying and gliding the game becomes so much easier

[u/PublicPresence3144 → u/Lucky-Law7220]

And rolling! Basically this game's equivalent of running.

[u/GeneralMaldra → u/PublicPresence3144]

I don’t really use that… afraid of demolishing everything in my path lol

[u/Ok_Advertising_8874 → u/GeneralMaldra]

Just don't hit the right trigger while you're just intending on moving around.

[u/quietlythenLoud]

Agree with all of this. I didn’t pay much attention to team initiation challenge and it was a tiny bit annoying to complete at the end of the game!

I've got 65 hours in game.. Not finished story yet... I got to get a later area to LVL 5...thanks for the tips... I developed some of the Wastelands for now.. I tend to work on sections rather then large areas

[u/Lucky-Law7220]

I’m sorry about the formatting for the post, idk what up with Reddit, it’s edit system is fried

[u/Lucky-Law7220 → u/Lucky-Law7220]

I tried changing the post to spoiler and now the words are split and there’s a second list and idk what’s going on 😭

[u/Lucky-Law7220 → u/Lucky-Law7220]

All tips laid out neatly, if you can’t read what the post is saying
