Sheer Mountain Range was brutal. Drifloon continues to be a menace in this game. I even ran out of apples and had to scarf down all my berries--and even then, I kept fainting from hunger and had to use all my tiny reviver seeds just to survive. Good thing the starvation only hit close to the end, and I could get out of the dungeon before it was too late. From now on, I'll be sure to pack more apples when I enter dungeons.
On the bright side, I made it to Lively Town. I remember some stuff about the Expedition Society from my first playthrough, but I forgot a lot of details. I've seen quite a bit of criticism about the group (especially when compared to Wigglytuff's Guild), so it'll be interesting to revisit them and judge them for myself.
