Once you beat the champ, a new area is opened up and things happen (mostly plot). You can also choose the game's difficulty (easy, medium, or hard) and choose your character's decisions throughout the story to make him/her good or evil, which will affect various interactions in the story as well as the ending and a few, less important, events. There's also trainer customization, contests, secret bases, and amie because all of those are incredible features.
