People are always complaining about the postgame being shit, but what makes a good postgame? What is the bare minimum that Gamefreak could do that you would be happy with?

Accessible and replayable content. Battle tower reskins don’t count, because without new postgame content to grind on its harder and less worthwhile to create new teams. Good postgame has:
>trainer rematches
>post league routes and/or dungeons
>quality of life features to make training perfect Pokémon a little easier
Aslowla doesn’t count because it takes a gorillion years to train anything up to level 100 to benefit from bottle caps, so you’re better off just riding Tauros in the autism circle.

>battle frontier
>new and old legendaries to catch
>new locations, like Sevii in FRLG, Kanto in GSC/HGSS, the Battle Zone in DPPt, etc.
>catch pokemon not in the regional dex somehow
>optional secret boss, like Red in GSC/HGSS or Cynthia in BW/BW2, to fight
This is the bare minimum for a good postgame. As far as I'm aware, only Platinum and HGSS fit the criterion.

Honestly, Diamond/Pearl/Plat. have the best example of a good post-game:

-Large, new area to explore with new Pokemon, harder trainer battles, legendaries, and new story.
-Battle Frontier type facilities for a challenge.
-Services to make raising Pokes easier
