	===Modpacks===		===Modpacks===
	We highly recommend you play with a modpack. These days mods require other mods- specific versions even, so that they don't have to reinvent the same wheel that's been coded 100x before. It's a massive time saver for developers. Rather than chasing specific versions of 10+ mods down each time there's an update, a modpack will handle all of that for you with a press of a button.

Plus, you'll be notified when there's an update available.

	We recommend getting your modpack from Modrinth- it's a new service developed by the community for the community. We're also available on CurseForge and Technic if you prefer either of them.

 ==Getting Started==
-Lost? Need help installing? Check out our [[Installation Guide]]
+We're going to break down how to get started in 3 simple steps
-A quick and optional guide for new players to maximize their gameplay, no way an extensive list, but a good place to start without researching multiple topics
+===Forge or Fabric===
-*Enable the [[Bonus Chest]] on world creation for a solid starting point, as well as Peaceful Mode to keep pesky Monsters away
+The age old question- it depends. First, check if your favorite mod, modpack, or server is exclusively available for one or the other and that should help you decide easily.
-That's the basics! Congratulations, Trainer! You'll be a Master in no time. There are TONS more to learn and discover- go at your own pace. Here's a few helpful additional guides when you're ready:
+If your PC struggles to run a few browser tabs, you should probably use Fabric as it's significantly more optimized.
-*[[Mounts]]: You can ride some Pokemon to travel faster. You can even Fly on some
-*[[Pokemon]]: Look up your favorite Pokemon to see where they spawn
+If you prefer overall amount content, Forge still has Fabric beat by total available mods- for now, as more and more mods are making Fabric variants and/or other creators are creating alternatives.
-*[[TMs]] & [[TRs]]: Craft TMs to help your Pokemon learn new moves
-*[[Tools]] & [[Armor]]: Up your exploring game by crafting specialized tools and armor that give you special effects like Night Vision, super fast mining, and more
+It's ultimately up to you to decide, there is no wrong answer. We suspect within another year, Fabric should have caught up on the remaining missing pieces of mods. We support both, and we will continue supporting both so long as Cobblemon supports both.
-*[[Breeding]]: Begin breeding Pokemon to create powerful offspring
-*[[Ultra Space]]: A dangerous dimension, proceed with caution!
+===Modpacks===
-*[[Summoning]] Legendaries: Summon powerful Legendary Pokemon such as Lugia, Latias, Rayquaza, and more
+We highly recommend you play with a modpack. These days mods require other mods- specific versions even, so that they don't have to reinvent the same wheel that's been coded 100x before. It's a massive time saver for developers. Rather than chasing specific versions of 10+ mods down each time there's an update, a modpack will handle all of that for you with a press of a button.
-*[[Poke Chests]]: Expand your storage and look good doing it
-*[[Machines]]: Create special machines such as a Fossil Machine to resurrect Fossils or a Cloning Machine to obtain the ever powerful Mewtwo
+We recommend getting your modpack from Modrinth- it's a new service developed by the community for the community. We're also available on CurseForge and Technic if you prefer either of them.
-*[[Mechanics]]: A mostly comprehensive list of general gameplay mechanics
+* Modrinth - Download the [https://modrinth.com/app Modrinth App], search Generations under the Modpacks tab, and hit install. Now, you're ready to play!
-There's much more to explore and do- good luck on your adventures, Trainer!
+* CurseForge - Download the [https://www.curseforge.com/download/app CurseForge Launcher], search Generations under the Modpacks tab, and hit install. Now, you're ready to play!
