Which Palworld route should I choose?
Start with Newcomer if the save is fresh. It orders the early systems and milestones so you do not have to scan an endgame checklist.
Choose Veteran if you already own a save. Its diagnostic can hide obsolete or completed phases, keeping the long 1.0 path relevant to your progress.
Use the target-Pal route when the goal is a specific capture. It links the prerequisites, map points and progression needed to reach that Pal.
