2 recent discoveries for people trying to clear the game.
#1: If you kick the Miis in your plaza (except for the one that takes you back to the last balloon you took) out of your plaza, they will be replaced with previous Miis that have visited you, which will offer to take you to different balloons. Doing this doesn't ban the Mii from returning either, if you are worried about banning friends.
#2: If you go to the home menu and exit the game while in a 500 P balloon, the price on the balloon won't increase (although you will lose all your captured pokemon). You can do this in the event a rescued Mii doesn't drop a diamond (this only happens 5 times per day). You can also do it to avoid to choose between a 2 diamond continue and a 1 diamond restart.

The downside is that you're frozen out of getting diamonds from your mine, your 3 free daily random spotpasses, and any friend spotpasses you've gotten will be saved but not downloadable for a day or two of real time. I also think it might delay unlocking the King's requests until time starts back up again too, but I don't see that as much of a penalty.
