What consists of a good post-game in pokemon? I recently went through FireRed again and realised just how bad the Sevii Islands are. Then I got reminded that Sinnoh had a similarly bad post-game with their islands. So I was wondering what do you guys want out of post-game?

Gold and Silver will always have the best post game.

Sigh, why are the Sevii Islands bad, exactly?

If you can even call relying on Kanto for half of your game's content a post game.

nothing in particular that's been executed well enough yet but i'll just go for dot point examples of what i wanna see:

>new areas that are at least half the size of the existing map
>lots of dungeons (ie: mt pyre, ice cave, cinnabar lab, etc)
>multiple legendaries with their own quests
>branching paths in general
>exclusive pokemon from the new gen the game was introduced with
>exclusive items/forms
>battle facilities that aren't just a tower/factory clone
>HM puzzles that lead to hidden items/gift pokemon/etc
>daily events for free items/cosmetics
>new characters (points if fuckable)
>plot that calls back to the main game
>extended lore of the main game
>introduces mechanic that makes grinding easier for battlefags
>roaming legendaries but with a chasing mechanic and not pure RNG like gen 2
>new trainer customization
>throwbacks to old games and characters for nostalgiafags
>super tough end-game battles

that might be enough to make a base game good, but it'll make a postgame epic.

Fun ways to train (and get resources to train pokemon) Pokémon and use my level capped Pokémon (both the new ones i caught and trained in the game and onces that been transferred over from previous games) for Ribbons and shit and do challenges to catch strong/unique Pokémon

So, Battle Facilities and Raids/Dynamax adventures

Im fine with not having "Story" or "Post-game Campaign" like the Lookershit since that is what the actual game is supposed to do, what i want is fun things to actually DO that i don't just blow through in a hour.

I don't really count completeing the Pokédex as "postgame, becaue that is very much part of the main game for me."

perhaps it's not the best, but it is definitely better than RBY, RS (excluding Emerald), SWSH, and SV

Not OP and I think the Sevii Islands are the coolest locations in any Pokémon game. The problem is that despite having many locations that looked like they were hiding some kind of secret, in reality they didn't have anything (e.g. Memorial Pillar, Pattern Bush, Green Patch, etc.) or just had underwhelming stuff (like the girl in the Lost Cave that only gives you items).
I think a big endgame dungeon linked to the Unown caves would've been great.

They could literally make an infinite post-game by using a randomizing algorithm to make an open world large expense of land that uses AI to creae a random assortment of trainers with a random assortment of fully evolved (and little cup) mons with logical movesets. Same for wild Pokemon.

That's all the fans would want after a little mini region or something.

This. Frlg are some of my favorites and I used to love the islands, but over tike I've realized that they are mediocre.

Sevii was good post game, it just got gimped in not-Japan because its endgame was cut due to the eReader not doing well in not-Japan, and even stuff that already existed in the US like the Ruby/Sapphire cards and their compatibility in FrLg was cut. They also had those Wonder Spots which went entirely unused.
Post game locations aren't mandatory, so long as you make your main game extensive and offer something in addition to do for routes after you beat the game, or you even have good content that isn't gated by the League win like contests or multiplayer battle features. I can post more later for what I would have wanted out of post-game stuff in Sword/Shield at the very least later on if there's interest.
