Befriend Pokemon

Charmander Encounter
At the start of the game, you'll want to befriend as many Pokemon as possible to gain access to the moves you need to build habitats. For example, you'll need Leafage to create more tall grass, and Water Gun to water it if it dries out.

Build More Habitats

Existing Habitats
With more moves unlocked, you can build more unique habitats to spawn new Pokemon. Keep creating new habitats to attract Pokemon and unlock even more.

How to Build Every Type of Habitat

You should buy Packing Tips: Rookie as soon as it shows up on the PC Shop. This key item upgrades your inventory and increases the amount of slots for your items. You can buy more Packing Tips later on as you unlock more areas.

List of All Requests

You can build houses by using build kits from the PC Shop, or by placing down blocks to make simple houses. You need to put down blocks in at least a 2x2 space for it to be considered a house.
