When do you call you've completed the game?

1. Won all gym badges, beat all elites and became Pokémon Master?

2. Along with 1, completed your Pokédex and see all Pokémons?

3. Along with 2, even captured all the Pokémon?

I just win the leagues and become Pokémon Master. That's when I stop playing it.

Moreover, I don't even like the Pokémon species after generation 1. The new Pokémon seems stupid, as if they made them just for the sake of making new ones.
But even in generation 1, I didn't saw or caught them all. Only what I caught on my way, before I beat Elite 4.

I never consider my game complete. There is always something I haven't done. I don't try to catch all the Pokemon, but I think the closest I would ever want to be to 'completing' the game is just to get to level 100 with the perfect team and be able to take down any opponent.

Basically, when I beat the Pokemon League, completely my Pokedex both caught and seen, my team to high level and trained to be able to compete in competitive battling( though I stopped competing atm), and compete in whatever battling circuit there is in that region( Battle Frontier or Battle Subway). I keep going until get that "Awesome Pokemon Trainer/Master with incredibly strong team" persona, like Red in HG/SS, S/G/C.

Whilst I only play to have fun I find it's not fun unless I set a goal within the game. For a while that goal has been to complete my Pokedex but I'm not in any sort of hurry. I'll also often set smaller goals as well, to break things up such as reaching a certain level or RNGing a certain Pokemon. I also plan on trying the Masuda method to try and breed a shiny sometime in the future (If I get a hold on a foreign Ditto that is). None of this is important to me at all, it's just there to keep the time killer entertaining.

I consider my game complete when all the gyms are beaten, all the trainers, and the E4 and Champion have been taken care of. Now I can do the post-game stuff like finding all the items or capturing Pokemon that I have been wanting. Or upgrading my team...

I beat the entire game, including all post-game scenarios. In a few games I've completed the Pokedex (Crystal, Leaf Green, Platinum) but I don't always bother to, as it is very tedious. In those cases, just doing all the post-game stuff counts as completed IMO. Competitive battling teams, getting them to Lv100, and completing the Pokedex is just icing on the cake.

So most of you are mentioning raising your pokémon to level 100. is it the highest level we can raise our pokémon??
Yes it is. :P

I consider my game beaten when I beat the champion/Red in Johto. I have always wanted to complete my Trainer Card, but I never get around to filling out my Pokedex. :\ Other than that, I just go do whatever after game stuff there is. I'm not much for competitive battling, but I do EV train some Pokemon for Battle Frontier and such. That's about it. :P

My game is complete when I have a perfect team, imo, all lvl 100 and ready to play competitively.
I agree. That is when my game is finished. I can't be interested in the game until I have my perfect team. I will refuse to play online or with someone else until all of my Pokemon are on level 100 with the personality types that I want. It's hard to choose, but I like it.

Usually I just play through the game and beat everything, or loose interest and move onto a different game lol Maybe I have a little Pokémon ADD. My White version is the only version I've got em all to level 100, but I'm still just catching Pokémon and stuff in that right now.

This is how I play: I bolt through the game as fast as I can the first time around, doing as little extra as possible to get all the badges and HM’s, I then take a more leisurely stroll back across the whole region with all the HM’s in pocket to access all the hidden TM’s, items and pokemon I missed. I do this now as I had a bad habit of wasting good TM's on Pokemon that I lose interest in eventually, So now, no TM’s till before the elite 4. Also before the elite 4 though I like to catch any legendaries that are available, Fight through the Elite 4, the Champ then go after the remaining legendaries.

I have started a new trend also in the 4th gen games, I restart the game 3 times before begining to put the 3 starters onto another game so that once a I can trade I can play with all three starters for that region.

Then after the whole region is explored I get into filling up the pokedex and finally the Battle frontier.

What's your aim in the game?

When do you call you've completed the game?
You may say your two questions are different. The game's completed when there's nothing left to do, meaning all quests are solved. You still can play on like forever. But my aim in the game is to have fun, e.g. beat the crap out of my rival, give Pokémon funny names, beat the liga over and over again in hope of actually staying champion and not get sended back where I came from just because the old champion is a douche. These things :)
