 Once you have your feet under you, check out the [Issues](https://github.com/pagefaultgames/pokerogue/issues) page to see how you can help us!
 Most issues are bugs and are labeled with their area, such as `Move`, `Ability`, `UI/UX`, etc. There are also priority labels:
-- P0: Completely gamebreaking (very rare)
-- P1: Major - Game crash
-- P2: Minor - Incorrect (but non-crashing) move/ability/interaction
-- P3: No gameplay impact - typo, minor graphical error, etc.
