>>25238751You've piqued my interest.
I swear to God, the story better not crash and burn like Super or I'll be really angry.>>25236583Sure it can't keep going indefinitely, but it could've still gone on for a lot longer. Explorers spaced it out with multiple side-stories, including (if I recall correctly) having you
graduating from the guild, rescuing
Scizor, exploring
Aegis Cave (okay this dungeon was awful, but it introduced Team Charm so it's alright), rescuing and caring for
Manaphy, and then introduced
Darkrai, but only after
enlisting Drowzee's help,
exploring Azumarill's nightmare, and
fighting Palkia. And that's not counting the days spent between each incident.
Super had you locating
Mew, meeting
Mew, spending 3 standard days with
Mew, and saving
Mew. And the only new character it introduces is someone from a previous game. With 720+ Pokemon and five continents there is literally no excuse as to why some more of it couldn't be included in postgame's story.
