How do you so called "beat the game"?

Question

I mean I know it's actually not really beating it cause the storyline doesnt end or anything

Answer 1

Different games have different end points. The first "ending" is when you beat the Elite Four but there is usually some more story after that.

In D/P/Pt you go to Stark Mountain like speed freak said. In HG/SS you beat all the Kanto gyms and then Red.

Then of course, the other ending is when you complete the Pokedex to 100%!

Answer 2

Welll, technically beating ANY Pokemon game is kinda just beating the Elite Four. But there is unlimited gameplay.

Answer 3

Well the main story line in pokemon diamond ends after you defeat team galactic at stark mountain but like midnight sky said it is endless

Answer 4

You BEAT THE GAME when you collect all the pokemon possible (complete the pokedex) And totally pwn all the NPCs.
