After reading through the 'Welcome Package' I am glad I didn't forget about it.
It was very informative about my situation. Who knows how long it would have taken me to figure it out on my own?
Now lets start up with the making of the dungeon!
For now I should probably find the option for the 'Dungeon Shop'.
I think 'Status'

Oh their it is, along with a new option.
Lets take a quick look at what the new option does before going into the shop.
Notifications: This option is present to keep track of any unread notifications and messages. Note: even if you are not viewing your status this option will automatically alert you if their is an unread or incomplete notification or message.
Ok seems obvious enough. Now that thats settled it's time to get my pokemon and start building my dungeon. I'm trembling with excitement!
I think 'Dungeon Shop'.

.............................................
Excellent! I can finally see what these Pokemon are like.
For now it seems that regeneration process of Normal Type Pokemon is going to take a little while longer to complete so I should just focus on getting 1 or 2 pure Normal-Type templates now.
I vaguely recall that each type and species has advantages and weaknesses. As such it's best I don't ever have a floor made up purely out of 1 type or species without any variation. So far it seems that the DSI is focusing on Pokemon that only have a single type. I guess those ones are easier to scan and generate, thus making it more efficient to start with them before moving onto the others? Regardless as soon as a suitable dual-type template is generated I should look into it.
It's decided then. When the Normal Type is fully completed or even when a few pokemon with a Dual-Type become available, I will purchase some Templates that have a type besides just Normal.
However I have to make sure they are not too strong or too weak so that I can lure in more people as well as that they synergize with the floor and the other pokemon on it. Must also try to balance my mana expenditures, monster defenses, and dungeon floor environment.
God, this is more complex then I first thought it would be.....
Oh well, got to strike while the iron is hot and I am still passionate about this!
First off lets purchase the 'Rattata' and 'Raticate' templates. These guys will be the perfect fodder monsters and sub-elites for the first floor.
These were the cheapest pokemon currently availalbe so I think they would be ideal for testing how strong the local wild life and sentient races are in this strange world as well as how strong Pokemon are in comparison.
After all without an accurate sense of how strong the invaders will be versus how strong my pokemon are I will not be able to effectively defend myself or lure in people.
After seeing how they compare in battle I will see about getting more pokemon for the store. For now, with my extreme lack of information, this is enough.
I think 'Purchase Monster Templates for Rattata and Raticate'.
Acknowledged!!
Dungeon Shop Purchase of Monster Templates:
Rattata - 12 DP
Raticate - 25 DP
Current DP: 3018
(Note: Due to the 2 monsters sharing an evolutionary line if 1 of the Rattata evolve in the future you will be able to obtain the Ratticate Template for free without paying. Thus it is somewhat wasteful to buy both of them)
Confirm Purchase? Y/N
Oh is that how it works? Well regardless I think I will purchase both for now. They are both fairly cheap, especially since I have so much DP right now so I can afford a splurge as 'small' as this. Not to mention that I don't have any idea how long the evolution will take or even if I'll be able to last long enough for the Rattata to evolve on their own.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
I think 'Yes, Confirm Purchase'.

Purchase Confirmed!

Next up I will need to get the proper terrain to maximize their power. From what I can see from the description they should be small 4 legged animals....
Wait...., I quickly double check, that's not in the description. Then why did I think that.....?
After thinking for several minutes I realize that it just seems obvious to me. As if I've encountered them and learned this before.....
I get this strong unquestionable sense of assurance that these feelings are correct.
Ok, I decide to trust myself and start looking for a terrain that will be beneficial for a creature with small-medium build.

Ok. Not sure how useful it will be but lets get the 'Sunny Day' and 'Sparse Cloudy Sky' options for now. After all I don't want my creatures to constantly in the dark.
I may decide to get the 'Day-Night Cycle' but first let's see how much I have left after I get the land terrains.
First things first I think 'Purchase: Sunny Day and Sparse Cloudy Sky Templates'

Ok, this one is a LOT more expensive than the previous Sky options. Hope I have enough DP for all I want to do. The berry trees look interesting, their might be some interesting types.
Alright, first off lets get the both Grassy Plains and both of the Tree options. This will be ideal for small animals like my Rattata to scurry through the grasses and small patches of trees I intend to place to ambush invaders.
I think 'Purchase: Tree (Set of 3), Berry Tree (Set of 3), Tall Grassy Plain, and Short Grassy Plain'

Ok that all looks good now, however I am begining to get concerned over how much DP I am spending. It all went away so fast! As such I think I'll stop here for now and if their is something vital I need I'll come back to the Dungeon Shop to search for it and use my remaining DP reserves to buy it.
I can't risk getting caught up in a spending fever so I quickly close the Dungeon Shop screens before my gets drawn to something.
Alight! Now let's get started with building this dungeon!
Going with the flow of events that have led to this point and how I opened all these options, screens and tools so far..... I think 'Create Dungeon!'.
