Try looking at some of these tips to learn your way around!

=== FAQ & Help Section ===
The FAQ & Help section contains a tutorial specifically for new users trying to get their bearings. It shows you how to do most of the basic things on Poliwager. There's even a prize for completing the tutorial, so it's recommended that you do it, even if you have a good grasp of what's going on.

The button is on the left side bar under the Community section. 

=== Okay, I did the thing, what now? ===
'''Check out the My Achievements button''' - it's at the bottom of the My Account section. This will take you to the Achievements page where you can check out all the things you'll eventually do on the site. There's all sorts of things - collecting items, making loads of money, evolving Pokémon - and '''knowing what sorts of things you want to do first will help you have the most fun in Poliwager!'''

'''Once you've done that? Get to clicking everything else!''' All of the buttons do something or have hover text explaining what they are. You basically can't go wrong - just don't sell anything you happen to collect yet, since you might need to collect a lot of them in order to get an achievement. 

=== What kinds of things will I be doing all the time? ===

No matter who you are, there's a few things you're probably doing all the time.

* '''Collecting Pokémon and eggs.''' You can collect up to 6 eggs at a time, and an unlimited number of Pokémon. You can find eggs on the Adopt page, and you can find both Pokémon and eggs in the Pokémon Shelter (the link is located in the "Adopt a new egg" blurb.)
* '''Clicking Pokémon and eggs.''' You'll want to click your own eggs and party obviously, but you can also click other people's eggs and mons. By clicking 100/500/1000 eggs and mons each day, you can get bronze/silver/gold tier daily rewards!
* '''Doing the dailies.''' Most things on Poliwager happen on an hourly or daily basis, and here's a bit on what they all do:
** The Pokéwalker (on the left bar rather than the right) can have one Pokémon in it at a time. When you do things on the site, the mon inside will gain EXP at a very fast rate. You can also play with your Pokéwalker mon once every 15 minutes for a chance to earn berries, valuable items, and [[Currency#Zygarde Cubes|Zygarde Cubes]].
** [[Mt. Chimney]] can be walked through once an hour, and has a chance to give you highly valuable items. Later on, you'll be able to buy HM08 Dive from the [[Poké Mart]], which is very similar to Mt. Chimney but more profitable.
** The [[Legendary Number Game]] can be played once a day for a 1-in-100 chance of winning a Regi! You also have a 2-in-100 chance of winning a  Mystery Box (and it's a mystery even to me what's inside one of these!)
** The [[Day Care Center]] can be used once every 3 hours. You can breed any 2 Pokémon of the same egg group and recieve an egg of
** The [[Pokémon Camp]] is a place where you can send a Pokémon to gain happiness. Every time you send a Pokémon to the camp, you'll need to spend a Camping Ingredient, and the Pokémon will join a camp where they'll gain large amounts of EXP and happiness. The camps reset at set times (usually every 3-5 hours) and can be viewed by visiting the camp.
