[1.0] - Interacting

Making interactions, or clicking to feed Pokémon and hold Eggs, is the foundation of PokéFarm gameplay. The Egg or Pokémon clicked will gain experience (EXP), while you gain Credits and Interaction Points. You can interact with your own Eggs and Pokémon, as well as with the Eggs and Pokémon of other players. Other players will interact with your Eggs and Pokémon in turn, assisting you in hatching your Eggs and leveling up your Pokémon. Interacting is highly encouraged, as it is the primary way of actively fueling your own progression in the game. To find other players to interact with, look to the top of your screen. You’ll see “### users online” and “Open 10.” Clicking “### users online” will take you to a list of all players who are currently online. Clicking “Open All” will take you to a Multi Profile page, which is a set of 10 randomly-selected online players whose party profiles have been simplified to make it easy to interact with them! Once you’ve interacted with the Eggs or Pokémon belonging to those 10 players, you’ll see a button that says “Get More +.” Click this button to load another 10 players to interact with. You can also see who has interacted with you, and return the favor, by clicking the Clickback link in the top left of your screen. This link will open a Multi Profile containing 10 players who have interacted with you today. If you’d like to see a complete list of who has interacted with you today, visit your Interactions page.

[1.1] - Basic Currencies

PokéFarm has several currencies, including both free and premium options. All three of these primary currencies can be traded with other players. Credits, or Cr, are PokéFarm’s basic free currency. Credits are initially gained from interacting with Eggs and Pokémon, performing Scours, and selling spare items through your Inventory. Credits are used when buying certain items and services, trading directly with other players, and buying items through the Market. Credits are the only currency that can be used and gained via the Market. Gold Poké, or GP, are PokéFarm’s intermediate currency. Free GP can be gained through weekly login rewards, participating in site events like the weekly Contest, and opening Boxes, but GP can also be purchased directly using ZC (see below). GP is used to purchase account upgrades, such as better Shelter Passes, DayCare Items, and Scour Boosts. Zophan Canisters, or ZC, are PokéFarm’s premium currency. ZC is purchased with real money, using either a credit card through the Stripe service, or through a PayPal account. ZC is used to buy Hypermode (PokéFarm’s premium account status), GP, and particularly high-value account upgrades like the Shelter Pass ★. There are other things that qualify as Currency types, but we won't get into those for now since they are either more specialized, situational, or rare.

[1.2] - Party

Your Party is where you can keep up to 6 Eggs or Pokémon, active and ready to be interacted with by other players. On your Party page, your Task List suggests goals for you to reach while you play with PokéFarm’s many features. Each task will give you a reward when you complete it, and it will unlock another task with a more difficult goal and a greater reward. Completion of these tasks is optional - it is entirely your choice! Your Party page also shows your VIP List. You can add players as VIPs from their profile page, and your VIP List will show you when your VIPs are online. This, in essence, is a one-way friends list, where you can add whoever you like while they are not asked to add you in return. Using the VIP List function to add people who you like clicking or trading with is a good idea!

[1.3] - The Lab

The Lab is run by Professor Holly. The good Professor distributes Eggs to players, revives Fossil Pokémon, and will sometimes assist you in unlocking additional aspects of PokéFarm. At any time, you can select one of four Eggs to adopt and send to your Party. You can refresh the available selection of Eggs for free once every 5 minutes, or you can use GP to buy Lab Reloaders and refresh whenever you want. Once you have hatched a particular Pokémon’s Egg, that Egg's name will be revealed and allow you to identify Eggs belonging to that species. All Eggs have a unique visual pattern as well, and this will likewise help you determine the species that can be hatched from it. Once you’ve found a Fossil while Scouring, Professor Holly will assist you in helping that Fossil Pokémon live again! Put the Fossil in her care, then spend some time interacting with other players. The Professor will provide you with the resulting Fossil Pokémon, which has a special symbol and a very special effect on Eggs belonging to that species that grants them more experience from interactions.
