Ok, so before we get down to business, let me explain my point of view, the reasons behind that, and a few other things that will clear some things up.
A few days ago I completed replaying Pokémon X and had an absolute blast. It was so fun to play through the Kalos region again and explore the 22 different routes and various cities. It was enjoyable and I was glad I did it. That being said, by the end of the first week I was eager to finish the main storyline and beat the pokémon leauge. I always love breeding, collecting Pokémon, and meshing out the little details and mishaps that your couldn’t realistically do until post game. I wanted to max my style and buy every clothes available, but the easiest way to earn money is through a restaurant in Lumiose City that isn’t available until your champion. I wanted access to the hundreds of TMs and items but a select few crucial ones were in areas only accessible in the post game. And so, it was with anticipation that I hurried through victory row and smashed Diantha to take her crown. Unfortunelty the battle wasn’t over. I still had one more thing I needed to complete.
The post game. A whole extra city to explore, the Looker missions, and Terminus cave. After a week of playing, I was eager to finish, and while it doesn’t sound like a lot, I jut didn’t want to do it. I wanted to enjoy myself and that’s exactly what I did. I ignored the “plot” and started collecting Pokémon.
Now, this leads to the point that you don’t have to complete the post game to access all of the features not available during the main storyline. And while that may be correct, you also cannot collect all the items, gain every TM, and catch every Pokémon without doing so. Not to mention that the game won’t ever really be completed until these side quests are finished.
I guess the question I’m trying to ask is: what is your personal feelings on the post games we’ve had and what should GameFreak do with it in the future? I don’t mind having a shorter post game or scrapping it completely. X/Y, in all honestly, isn’t that bad. Some are ridiculous, however, and I’m continuously seeing more and more people asking for longer and longer post games. I think that we have the main storyline and the after it’s completed, we should be left to our own devices. That might just be me however. Let me know what you guys think though, I’m curious to see if anyone shares this sentiment. (I’m not betting on it. )
