There isn't much aside from the Looker mission, and rematches in the restaurants/Battle Chateau or the Battle Maison, the latter of which would cater more to competitive gamers, so if you aren't keen on becoming competitive then you're out of luck.

Well, postgame has often been varied in size but don't expect generation-entry games like X & Y (not counting Johto games since you had Kanto to explore postgame) to not have much compared to say, remakes or the expanded third versions/sequels.

Or you can get other people's Friend Codes and explore their Friend Safaris. Friend Safari types and what Pokemon are in them are determined by Friend Code, so if you want to expand your Pokedex a bit, I'd recommend going that route.

More information about Friend Safaris here

Thank you. Well hopefully if there is a Z version, maybe it will have a big postgame. Is OR/AS delta episode long or somewhat short? Im just trying to determin if its worth getting third gen remake even though i never really liked it.

The Delta Episode is interesting in its own way. It's much better than the Looker missions, IMO, in terms of length, since you get to travel all over Hoenn in the Delta Episode, while you're confined to Lumiose in the Looker missions. The Delta Episode is also pretty difficult if you're not prepared for the ending (I could say what, but I won't spoil it if you're new to the Delta Episode).

Silly question, when is the best time to evolve pokemon that require trades or stones in order to evolve? Is it best to do it as soon as they instantly do their first evolution, or is there a time to wait? Like for eevee for example, i know its best to have her evolve as low as possible so that you can get the best stats for her and moves, but for others like raichu, or alakazam, whats the best time? Thank you in advance~

Most people usually wait for certain moves when it comes to stone evolutions, particularly ones that can only be learned by the NFE. And then there's ones where they tend to wait for a certain level due to an exclusive move that may be learned after it's evolved, such as Quiver Dance for Lilligant.

Buying the OR/AS Pokédex or reading up on each Pokémon's current level-up and TM/HM moves on Bulbapedia/Serebii would help immensely.

Getting close to finishing most of the national pokedex and have a question; what legends (if any) are required to be in the 'dex to get the shiny charm? Want to know since that might help me out once I get there.

Look up some basic info on bulbapedia about IV's and EV's first for background knowledge then look up a guide about breeding. Theres plenty out there and mostly the same.

Look up some items that will help you a lot :

Destiny Knot
Everstone

And also look up pokemon that aid with hatchinge.g. flame body ability (and Magma armor is the other I think?)

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flame_Body_%28Ability%29

And Hatching O-powers.

If you want to see how natures and IV's/EV's affect the end result you can use a program called PKHex to plan out your pokemon, thats what I do anyway. Then its a case of trying it out, youll learn far more from trying that reading.

If you can get hold of a 6IV ditto that would also help you out immensely.

The Shiny Charm doubles the chances of getting a Shiny from wild encounters and breeding.
The last I read it was uncertain if that also included Friend Safaris but the thought is yes it does.

If you are using parents with 2 different language tags (MM) then the chances of getting a shiny are something like 1/something a little less than 700. (680 I think)

Simple as that.

Edit: and another question: where can I find the eviolite in this game if I decide to not evolve it?

I've moved your questions into our X/Y Q&A thread, since that's where questions generally should go.

striderviper already answered your Magneton question, but as for Eviolite, you can get it in Shalour City.
