"No longer are you limited to New Bark or Pallet, you can now start in any town you want! In the past I've always made the argument that having starting towns would add a lot of balancing difficulty to the wild data, but as the game has developed more with new, lower-level areas and more options available to the player, starting anywhere has become more reasonable. Granted, some places will still be more difficult than others, so a difficulty meter has been added during the selection sequence.
This feature is more than just starting towns! Now, you have your own residence. Each residence works just like the decoration system, but every map is unique! Some residences may be more lavish in design, others may grant you access to secrets or shortcuts. And if you get bored of your starting town, don't worry - you can always move to a different residence! There are even a few extra residences in the overworld that aren't accessible from the start, so keep an eye out!"
