Post game is anything after you catch the Origin Forme legend, so basically anything involving Volo, the Plates, and Giratina (plus all the associated legendaries you can now obtain)
Your postgame playtime is also heavily dependent on how much you grinded the dex before the credits, as the only things gated behind it are the aformentioned legendaries/plot and finding the starters in rifts

Games have stopped having features from Gen 1 since Sun and Moon with the removal of the National Dex as an all encompassing bestiary.

Arceus continues the trend of having a postgame story and a new rendition on a legendary hunt except this time they are put together. Arceus also has about 30 side quests that open up after the completion of the maingame. There’s also the completion of the Pokédex which is impossible without trading before the end of the maingame. Then there’s the Arceus fight as well as the final fights against the clan leaders and then Ingo’s mini dojo adds like 4 new trainers for you to battle. And finally the rematches against the Nobles, Arceus, and Dialga/Palkia, one of which will be new a fight since you originally only fought one beforehand.

I think that’s all pretty good for a single player game.

I don’t really see much of a difference in gameplay both types of games are just rpg battlers. Furthermore PLA has a dumbed down battle system, what PLA does different is its progression system with tons of busy work and catching mechanics which involve stealth and bait while still keeping the original catching mechanics from the basic game.
I like PLA but its a little disingenous to call other mainline games bad in comparison to it.
Infact playing PLA has significantly increased my desire to play platinum again.

No offense but I think you’re mentally ill if experiencing PLA’s sped up text which fires off at the same time as moves and seamlessly transitioned battles makes you want to re-experience the absolute slog of previous entries

No I like PLA for other reasons
It’s just that it specifically made me realize how dated previous entries were. they effectively modernized the battling and catching formula in PLA and it throws into stark relief how sloggy it used to be. Couldn’t go back if you paid me.

Its literally just as bad as the autist that goes on about the option to turn of exp share would only hurt the games.
I like PLA but god fucking damn it annoys me to see people shilling the fuck out of it. I want game freak to do better but everyone is treating it like the second coming of christ rather than be objective about it and I actually cannot stand it.

I am mot seeing it when the battle system is just straight up inferior. They literally just made battles and transitions to battles faster, thats it.

If they took pbr's dynamic camera angles and the mons coming up to the target and attacking it but speed up it, that would be better than PLA"s weird hybrid of of the quick attack animation for physical moves and scooting up and back really fast

I’m not talking about the gimmicky strong style stuff but the better “gamefeel” they created. Also SpA version of burn is good and superior to frozen

Besides the lack of real multiplayer, I've enjoyed Arceus more than I've enjoyed any pokemon game after gen 5. This is the first time I've ever gone for filling the dex and the only shit I have to complain about are the mons that barely spawn (like baby mons)

XD and Gale of Darkness still haven't been topped though imo

I thought arceus didn't have any post game either but then i realized how retarded i and this board was. The post game is shiny hunting, it's a great game for shiny hunting. This leads you to have fun making your pokedex as perfect as you can. While the game doesn't have competitive pvp within it, you can use arceus as a farm to farm shiny pokemon and then use them to fuel your trades for competitive pokemon in the main pvp games, a great investment and giving arceus a fantastic post game.

Its opposite. Its simpler but needs a lot of planing in battle because of varied moves of Strong/Agile atacks

Yeah but I do think, as a PLA shill, that the older one is better for actual trainer battles, and PvP
but we won't really know as this battle system will hopefully stay in Legends where... there is no PvP, in PLA that is
