>>40759331> catch a neat pokemon close to the end of the game > fuck you, you finished the main story, you cant use the new monYou dumbass, postgame content allows you to keep enjoying the main draw of the series: the pokemon
Battle frontier, contests, pokeathlon, and littlr side scenarios like delta episode, looker quests, and legendaries to find and capture are a great way to keep the game going and let you use your pokemon to your hearts content.
Its not like the main storyline id anything riveting anyway. Thrash 8 losers with a supereffective move, watch robot-like npcs screech 'malasada!' and act out the shittiest baby-brained 'evil plot' and then thrash 4 more slightly challenging losers, maybe even a fifth, and then thats it. Games over. Nothing about that experience is worth the price or the praise. Its literally only playing with your pokemon that carries the experience, so why wouldnt they add a sustainable (battle frontier and minigames) and interesting (secret areas to find legendaries + side stories) postgame stuff to keep it up?
Simple, because they are lazy, incompetent, and creatively bankrupt. Gen 8 is making me like and appreciate gen 7
