Common questions

What should a beginner do first?

Learn the catch/fight, sell and upgrade loop, then follow the current quest or island objective.

Is this a full walkthrough?

No. It is a verified orientation guide, not an invented step-by-step route.

Which upgrade is best?

The current material does not verify prices, stats or a universal best purchase.

Where are the boss guides?

They remain unpublished until exact current-version steps are independently supported.
