Post-game

[Christos]

I got the idea to make this thread after misreading the "Rom-game suggestions" thread as "Post-game suggestions".

Assume you've just finished a hack you're working on, the main 8 gyms, and then the League. Would you make a side-story taking place on a set of islands or a new region? Or maybe smaller side-quests in the first region? Or would you just have something like a Battle Tower/Frontier or mini-games, or nothing at all. What would you do?

For my hack I'm planning on adding a smaller region of about 4 gyms after the main region. Also I'm planning on adding the battle frontier. The more content the better, as long as it's good, and stuff like the battle frontier is good.

I haven't really even thought of a postgame for my project, now that you mention it, but it's still early yet. I'm still engaged in the clerical work of moving from Emerald to FR. But personally, I think I'd most like to play a set of small side stories/sidequests to tie up loose ends.

As I'm creating an objective-based hack which limits free roam a lot, I doubt I'd make a postgame, but maybe I'd permanently restrict some places and allow the player to actually explore the city with a plethora of sidequests, and some new areas, perhaps?

That would depend on how much ideas and motivation I happen to have. If there's a lot, then I might go ahead and start working on new locations for things like these specifically. If not, then I'd simply stick to all current places and utilize them instead.

I feel like games should end when the 'story' part is complete. Whether that means completing the league and finishing or completing the league, cooking a chicken and flying around the world.

I don't see why people add things past the end of their main story, though :( IMO side quests and minigames should be encountered during the game not just piled up at the end.

I'm not sure what 'post-game' exactly means. Does it mean past the Pokémon League? If so, then I think a post-league quest is a vital part of a game. If it means post that post-league quest then I really don't care for it. If the story is done, it's done.
