This is what an open-world pokemon game should have been. Not the buggy disappointing mess GameFreak gave us for 2 generations.

Is this friendly for someone who's never touched a Pokémon game?

It's not really a pokemon game, the similarity basically ends at: there are weird fighting animals you catch with round objects and take research notes on. There's no evolving, combat is an active battle rather than turn-based, combat participants are unlimited, your character participates in combat directly, you can catch people, you put what you catch to work for you at your camp, plus all the survival elements.

you can catch people

Wait... what?

you put what you catch to work for you at your camp

Hmmm.

Wait, really? No evolving? Huh, it definitely looked like there were evo lines in the promo

Not that I've seen at least, you can mulch a bunch of the same type to get like a better tier of it, but for like the little penguins and the big penguins, you get the big ones from eggs or as a boss so far.
