[hype train intermission]

The torture scene in the opening sequence has been removed.

In the route where Taka dies and appears in the void, there's some way to later get him back.

In the route where Taka hasn't died yet, he'll die at some point in e19.

The Lin fight will include at least one pokemon she stole from Ame, probably the Alolan ninetails she used in Titania's gym.

Eclipse will not get her soul back.

There will be a sidequest related to the guy harassing the woman outside the Lapis ward pokemart.

The battle against Furret+Bibarel in Postgame Perils - Pokemon Punchup, Painfully Powerful will be against the two kids in Peridot ward who want to catch a pokemon strong enough to impress Youngster Joey and his top-tier rattata.  

The TM for swords dance will not be available until the postgame; likewise volt switch and u-turn.

so if I were to say cheese the saphira and lin fights with a destiny bond speed boost mega sharpedo, would this be a new kind of bullshit way to win these fights?

Lin fight probably won't be able to be cheesed that way, assuming it takes place on the new world field.  Field halves speed of grounded pokemon, so even with the +1 from speed boost, mega sharpedo is likely slower than most of Lin's team.

Ngl you got me good with Amaria. I'm a bit surprised to see Amy as the one that relies the most on her field because of how her own field can mess her up.

There aren't that many electric types that get around the speed penalty from her field, and all her teams have either two electric immunities or one immunity and two electric-neutral mons, so given that the NPC teams aren't directly targeting her weaknesses and the AI probably doesn't do as much as a player would to preserve counters when they do exist, the overall downside of her field is pretty small.  On the other hand, big speed and damage buffs + conditionally shutting down most physical attackers is a ton of upside, and the benefits affect a lot more teams than the weaknesses do.
