Feel free to post your discoveries/tips below and I will edit as we go!
Housekeeping:
- I will do my best to track Sun/Moon specifics, so please include this in your post so that I can map it accordingly.
- I will be playing Moon for the run-through.
- I hate spoilers lol. I'll include a brief summary of each location however will hide it to help those who don't want too much about any major events.
TL;DR? As much detail as possible will be added. Spoiler tab will contain information on battles, etc. Be warned.
Peace out!
