>>43534482Platinum, HGSS and BW2 have the best postgame. Strong trainers to rebattle daily, dungeons and new areas to explore , legendaries to catch. Not to mention the battle frontier and pwt. I’d say FRLG, Emerald and BW are a solid second place for good post game in those regards too.
The chateau in XY was underwhelming if you didn’t get black writ challenges and there was nothing else to do outside of the looker quest, zygarde and bird. I enjoyed ORAS more because of trainer rematches and secret bases but still hurt at the missing emerald content, stronger elite 4 but no gym leader rematches was baffling, but the battle with Wally upon beating a Super Cup is fun and so were secret bases. ORAS had the best gen 6 postgame and QoL despite its shortcomings as a remake.
SM/USUM are also pretty mediocre in that regard, not much to do in SM outside of battle tree, battle buffet, title defense, UB hunt and looker quest. USUM only adds the RR arc, wormhole hunt and kantonian gym.
SWSH’s postgame is raids, battle tower and online. I’ve sunk 300 hours into swsh doing shiny raids with vp getting my favorite mons in the dex so far and grinding them up to get battle and online ready, that was fun. But there’s honestly not much in content here either. There’s a lot I hope the dlc adds and fixes but my expectations are very low
