/vp/ there's been something wracking my brain as of late.
What the fucking hell is a postgame.
And what makes it good? It's a common complaint amongst pokemon games, so I guess it must be common? But not common enough to not expect it? Sorry for the weird wording there. Here's examples I can think of.
>Gen 1
>Mewtwo
>Maybe Dex completion?
>Gen 2
>Kanto
>Beasts. (Maybe?)
>Uhh, wasn't there a ship?
>Battle tower for ass kicking. (Crystal only)
>Gen three (RSE)
>Rayquaza
>Battle frontier
>Another ship??
>Sunken ship?
>FRLG
Didn't play this one, can't comment.
>DPP
>There was that one island.
>Battle frontier.
>HGSS
>Ship again
>Kanto
>More legendaries this time.
>Gym rematches.
>BW
>Two new towns
>Exploring what was locked off?
(Didn't get far, only played for a transferable Zekrom.)
>BW2
>MOVIES!
>Join ave.
>Unlocked areas
>EVEN MORE LEGENDARIES
>Battle train
>The GF/BF side quest
>Cynthia
>Underwater castle thing
>Fighting N
>Fighting Colress
>XY
>Mega stone huntting
>Battle mansion
>ORAS
>Delta episode
>Mega stone hunting
>Battle mansion
Ok, I'm aware that I'm probably missing a bunch of stuff, but what qualifies as good postgame? Outside maybe breeding and dex completion? Or maybe a better question, what do you guys see as good postgame?
