Guide Overview
A town visit is for sharing and discovering, not for open-ended editing. Nintendo says to start from a town Pokemon Center PC: choose Link Play, then Invite Others to Visit, followed by an online or local connection. Online hosts create a Link Code, while local connections can use a Link Code or proceed without one.
Nintendo says the Link Play menu becomes available after approximately 30 minutes of play. Once visitors arrive, everyone is in Spectator Mode. That protects the host town from changes while still allowing visitors to see creations, collect daily items from the PC, and log Pokemon and habitat information into their Pokedex. If your goal is collaborative building, plan a Palette Town session instead of a normal town visit.
