You know, it baffles me how there's that much empty space in the game. The game should at least have stuff to do up through the early lvl 90's. There's so many things that could have been done, like having more little side stories with the many characters introduced so that we can learn more about them. This is especially so for characters we saw very little of in terms of actual development, like Wicke, Colress, Grimsley, Faba, Plumeria, Kahili, the Kahunas, that one guy in the red suit, etc. Maybe get more rare items and stuff as rewards, as well.
Since Hyper Training isn't a thing until lvl 100, having more actual story content would make getting there much less painful and grindy, since you'll actually have something to look forward to as you're working towards that goal. Not only that, some mons don't get certain moves for competitive usage and the like until well into the 70's-ish.
It certainly beats doing the Elite Four over and over, or getting angry at the Battle Tree. 30-something levels of nothingness just feels weird.
