A Warm Hello

[Scylvester]

Hey, I'm Scylv. I've been playing Pokemon for about 25 years now and I wanted to join a community. I am downloading the game now, I hope it's good. Any suggestions on what to do when I start? Should I be aware of anything as a new player? Pic for attention.

@Scylvester Welcome to PRO, hope you enjoy your journey. I don’t have much in the way of suggestions beyond that, other than to take your time and enjoy. One thing worth knowing is when you first choose your starter, you’ll be offered three options as usual. However, there’s also a hidden “secret” starter available in the background. If you skip the initial three and choose that hidden option instead, it unlocks access to the Ash Hat cosmetic quest (a secret quest that many players don’t discover at first). Just keep in mind that you can’t obtain the Ash Hat without selecting that specific hidden starter at the back of the room, so it’s something to consider before making your choice. Join the community Discord if you haven’t already. It’s a friendly place with plenty of people willing to help out too.
