5th Gen NO ELITE FOUR... tournament style

[knook]

Or just have the Elite Four be like in the Adventures Manga, you become the champion and they start to try and take you down... This means even after the tournament is won, a whole new story starts.

Needs moar postgame. Always. I like the idea of having other trainers want to fight you after becoming the champion, and although I don't see a tournament replacing the E4 actually happening, I'd be so happy it they incorporated it in a Battle Frontier or something similar.

I just wish that once you become the champ, people recognize you as the champ and more skilled trainers replace the ones that used to be on the road before you reached fame.

I would only agree with this if it were a Tournament deciding who progresses to the Elite 4. Otherwise, no. The Elite 4 is designed to put your skills as a trainer to the test, and thus is made to be difficult.

People complain about the 10 level gap between the last Gym Leader and the first member of the Elite 4. I actually wish the gap was larger and gave us more to work for. That way we feel a greater sense of accomplishment once we've beaten them.

I beat the E4 on Pearl first time, with only 3 fainted Pokemon, having used about 1 Revive and only 3 Full Restores in the entire run. Needless to say, I was very, very dissapointed. I expected a lot more out of them.

I'd be very happy if the Champion's Pokemon peaked at Level 75 or so on the first challenge.

i would love the tournament but if you win you can fight the eleight four

I agree with both Kanto and Kinu.

We need a challenge and if they were to do this (which i doubt) it would really be fun!
