About to start a save in picrel. Planning on minimal grinding easy mode I.E. switch and items during gym leaders and "bosses." Anything I should know before going in. I look forward to catching all the "I miss these lil nibbas like yall wouldn't believe" shit mons and having some fun.

Any tips for new NPCs, side missions, item locations etc. to look out for that I wouldn't expect would be useful. I understand the story didnt change much so I don't plan on talking to many NPCs off the get go. As opposed to clover which had a bunch of flavor text changes just for shits and giggles.
