How much of the game do you actually play?

Hi everyone. What I mean is how much of the game Pokémon do you usually play before you lose interest? I guess I usually just catch all the Pokémon I can and complete the main story. This of course involves defeating the Elite Four and what-not.

I don't usually push myself to catch every Pokémon in the game for "Pokedex Completion."

For Sword and Scarlet: Beat the game. Prepared a few Pokemon for raids. Circled back for Pokedex completion later. Pushed for Pokedex completion more in the event of trading with a sibling. Played quite a bit past that for legendary raids.

Before that: Beat the game. Popped into the battle facility, but not much more than a few battles. Put them down. Picked them back up after watching someone else play Pokemon. Got into breeding and trying to trade with said person. Racked up a lot of hours just doing that. Decided to complete the Pokedex in there too (for items useful for breeding, but also for the sake of options).

For any challenge runs: Beat the Champion. Likely never touches it again (or, if so, just to check something rather than play).

I play all the "canon" (story) content, including post-game/DLC episodes if I have access to them. So once the adventure ends I'm pretty much done, no interest in dex completion, PvP or other side-activities that consume too much time I'd rather spent playing some other games.
