Listen up, trainers! Before you accidentally release that shiny Mewtwo (like I totally didn't do last week 😅), let's master the basics. Here's your emergency survival kit:

🎹 Keyboard Warriors

• SPACE/ENTER/Z - Select/Advance dialogue (AKA the "Yes, I know what a Pokémon is" button)
• BACKSPACE/X - Cancel/Reject (The "Oops, wrong move!" savior)
• ESC/M - Menu toggle (When you desperately need that Potion)
• C/SHIFT - Hold to see stats/TM info (Because math is hard)
• V - The stalker button (See enemy moves/effects)

🎮 Controller Crusaders

• A/X - Select/Advance (PlayStation folks, X is your friend)
• B/O - Cancel/Reject (The universal "nope" button)
• Y/△ - Enemy intel (Know thy enemy!)
• Select - Stat checker (Numbers! Numbers everywhere!)
• Start/Options - Menu access (Food break time!)

🎮 FAQ (Frequently Awesome Questions)

Q: Help! My controller isn't working! A: First, make sure it's plugged in. Yes, I've made that mistake too. 😂

Q: Can I use both keyboard and controller? A: Absolutely! Live your best hybrid life!

Q: Why can't I cycle natures? A: You need to catch/hatch multiple Pokémon with different natures first. Time to get grinding!

Remember, trainers: A true PokéRogue master isn't born - they're made through countless accidental menu opens and misclicked moves. Now get out there and show those controls who's boss!

P.S. If all else fails, just mash all the buttons. That's what we all do anyway, right? (Just kidding, please don't do that!) 😆
