Create, collect, and live a leisurely life. This is a guidebook that supports a slow life with Pokemon. This book provides a gentle and easy-to-understand guide to the many fun elements unique to this work, including the main character Metamon's interactions with Pokémon, and the first steps.

Through the early stages, we will introduce the unique element of this game, ``craft'', as well as tips for ``town development'' to have fun with your Pokémon.

　
In addition, you can enjoy a picture book of Pokemon with slightly different shapes and other Pokemon that appear. The appendix includes a set of 6 special acrylic stands featuring Pokémon, including the main character Metamon, as well as paper crafts from the Pokémon Center that can be combined with the acrylic stands, and a serial code bonus called ``Super Accelerate! Craft Support Community Development Set,'' which will give you a set of 5 items that will make early crafting much easier and more fun.
