How to make Pokemon more interesting

I recently (and by recently, I mean in March) received a copy of Pokemon White, and aside from catching 'em all, I'm completely finished with the game. I can't think of anything interesting to do with it anymore. Do any of you have any suggestions as to stuff I could try out for it? *

Play the game while pretending your character is a time traveler, I DON'T BLOODY KNOW!

Assemble a killer team or two for the Battle Subway?

Get a Lucario somehow.

Try to assemble one of each fully evolved Pokemon at level 100 through the GTS.

Battle Subway? Online Play? Buy Black and do a Nuzlocke? Breed stuff for the sheer hell of it? Pre-create a team for Grey?

Well, assuming that you have already finished all the bonus bosses and such, I'd say you should try to create a complete new team to do it again.

Breeding can be pretty fun. It took me a long time to get a Panpour with nasty plot, but it sure was worth it.

Online trading can be really satisfying.

I remember playing through the original Silver using nothing but Bug Pokemon. You could try to beat the Pokemon League like that.

Hah. Really says something about me that I thought this was a bitch thread by the title, and initially came in here to eviscerate the OP. >.>

ANYWHO, mono-type challenges and such are usually pretty challenging. Or Nuzlockes.

Do things like one-type runs or perma-death runs. Or Nuzlocke with its lovely "only one per route and only the first you encounter" rule in addition to perma-death.

*cough*

Really it's all that could work in my opinion. I don't care for the series much in general though.

If you don't want to delete your save file, you could...buy Pokemon Black?

Black kept the child proof save protection where starting a new game doesn't delete your file right? Well, see how far you get without saving.

This is what I plan on doing. Buying Black so that I can start a new game without having to get rid of my hard-earned shit.

And then I can Entralink with myself! Forever alone. ;_;

Random Matchup. Specifically Rotation. I need more easy wins Worthy Opponents.

I'm [redacted] years old. In other words, I have no steady source of income that could allow me to buy Black.

Black & White really needed better post-games. There's little to do that makes grinding not feel like grinding.

And since they are Audinos your grinding its even worse.

For the post game (battle subway/online), you don't need to go higher then level 50 due to scaling.

edit: And for the "ingame postgame", the AI isn't good enough to destroy you - I beat most of it with the Pokemon I beat the E4 with, without grinding too much.

Yeah, the problem I had with Pokemon B/W, was that there wasn't very much to do after the story ended. That, and there was too much Wifi stuff (which I don't have for Pokemon) for small things like planting berries.

Find a friend.

Even with the tons of stuff they added in later games, the Pokemon series in the whole has very little in the way of post-game playability and/or interest unless you either do multiplayer or want to do everything over again.

Really? Huh, it felt like in the other games, there was more to do, but I guess that's me.

Increase the scope of the story, make an overarching plot, lose event-only Pokemon, etc.

Deconstruction or Reconstruction can only save pokemon
