Anistar stops & NPCs

Girl at city entrance: Stops you with a cutscene about a person in town who knows about legendary Pokémon. Gives you Repeat Balls (×5 or similar) — keep these for legendary captures (Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres roaming, Mewtwo, Zygarde, Xerneas/Yveltal).
Anistar Sundial (central crystal): The Sundial is the cornerstone of the city — it's actually a giant Mega Stone. Locked for now. Post-Elite Four, after you defeat the rival in Kiloude City, Professor Sycamore upgrades your Mega Ring here at the Sundial. From then on, between 20:00 and 20:59 in-game time, you can find buried Mega Stones across Kalos as shimmer-spots.
Memory Girl (outside Pokémon Center): Tells you the "memories" of a chosen Pokémon — where it was caught, its earliest encounter info. Pure flavor, no item.
★ The Old Man (house two north of boutique): A widower mourning his late wife. Asks you to lend him a Pokémon — any Pokémon at Lv 5 or under. Hand over a Lv 1–5 Pokémon (e.g., a freshly-hatched egg from the Day Care, a Magikarp). After you enter the Hall of Fame (Phase 8 ending), return — the old man will have passed away, but he left you the Pokémon back, a letter, and a Comet Shard (sells for 60,000 P or use as held item). One of the most emotionally landed side quests in any Pokémon game.
Boutique: Mid-tier clothes shop. Style-gated.
Restaurant Restaurant Le Yeah: Wait, that was Lumiose. Anistar has a Galette Stand and a small market.
★ Set up the Old Man side quest NOW. If you wait until late post-game, you may forget about it. Drop a Lv 5 or under Pokémon with him before you leave Anistar. After your Hall of Fame run, fly back to collect the Comet Shard reward.
