# Minting a PixelPal

Every user will need a PixelPal to start playing the game. A PixelPal is a soulbound ERC-721 NFT that can be minted **free of charge**. 

There are four different PixelPals that can be minted. All PixelPals adopt Pixelmon IPs:

**Boremon**\

Users can choose their preferred PixelPal in the onboarding screen; there will be no differences to the ability or utility of PixelPals in season 1.&#x20;

All successful mints will output +100 Pet Points as a starter.&#x20;
