A PokeBonk beginner path you can follow

Each early decision has its own guide. Read the first-run steps once, then return to the particular question that comes up while playing. You do not need a complete build before you learn to move.

Start with the original game entry and identify the Guest or account session you intend to use.
Compare starter passives, then check the chosen partner’s move panel and current key bindings.
After a run, use one observed problem to choose your next guide or Lab goal.
