    • 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.

    Build a strong team, beat the E4, remake my team, catch all the legendaries, defeat the gym leaders and E4 in their rematches, and save at a specific location before calling it a run.

    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 :)

    Become champion, beat the highest rank of the mini-games there (you know, the contests and stuff). Rematch with the leaders, E4, Champion and blah. Randomly catch Pokémon and breed and breed and probably more side-goals..

    To beat the Champion and finish the post-game content. After those, goof around or go competitive battling.

    • My goal was to beat the Elite 4 and raise an army of Pokemon, now that both objectives are done and the game is complete... (Not technically. Story wise and reaching my goals)... I can enjoy the Battle Subway using 636 Pokemon I have... and there's so many mix ups with who I can use (eg Latios and Absol, or Charizard and Yanmega, or Druddigon and Blissey etc), which makes it more fun for me

    I never consider my games utterly complete because there's always something left to do.

    • I am finished when...:

    (1) ...I've completed the story line in every game.
    (2) ...I've caught every Pokémon, once in Gen.'s 1-2 and again in 3-5 w/o trading.
    (3) ...I've solo-ed with all of them.
    (4) ...I've raised my six-member team all to Lv. 100.

    I consider it complete, when, I have either beat the Elite 4, or Red if possible
    I don't like to do many sidequests '-_-

    • It used to be getting every single Pokemon in the game in numerical order in the PC boxes, but now it's just all 8 gyms > elite 4 > sidequests > done and forgotten.

    • Number 1, for the most part. Once I've beaten the Elite Four and the Champion, I do my victory dance and shut off the game. When I feel like playing some more, I usually go through the Elites a few more times to train, then work on getting my National Dex and catching all the Pokémon in the region.

    I try not to think about it, to be honest, otherwise I realise how utterly pointless playing on Pokemon and go and waste time playing on equally pointless but not quite as sentimental Skyrim.

    Oh, damn it.

    • I'm not much of a PvP guy in any games, so I just beat it and move on. Back before 3rd gen I'd try to complete the Pokedex, and I almost did on Red.
