>>27242425Things that give me a reason to open the game again after the credits roll. and not just for one final time to finish the plot threads.
-Battle Frontier + buildings for things like Inverse, Triple, Rotation battles and the rest. And whatever I'm forgetting that Platinum's Frontier had. Make it a big area to explore.
-PWT comes back too
-Secret Bases become a standard feature in every game
-You also get a house like the Villa in the Platinum endgame to decorate and have NPC interactions now and then
-Sinnoh Underground minigames come back
-Contests, Pokestar Studios, Musicals, and the minigames for Poffins/Pokeblocks come back
-Pokeathalon too
-Join Avenue if they can find a way to make that work, along with the endgame dungeon and dive ruins from B2W2, only thematically appropriate
-Every Trainer in the game can be rematched and have stronger teams
-Extra routes to explore and things to find/do/Pokes to catch
-Sevii Islands-like area
-A fucking Game Corner
It doesn't have to be all of this but fuck, Gen 6 as a whole is just barren of reasons to even bother finishing because the ONLY postgame is Hax Maison and 'Mence: the Battling Experience. There's no reason to open the game unless I have a reason to play Bike Simulator and that's just not the case with the other games. There's nothing to keep me playing and that's why people complain that there's no postgame in ORAS/XY. The Delta episode/Looker Quests were neat but once they're over there's just nothing.
