I sometimes battle other trainers.
 
I usually pick random Pokemon out of my PC and see how far I can get in Battle Subway/Tower. Battle Factory is fun too. I'm hoping they'll have it again in the third 5th Gen game.

I just went on a week-long cruise. I rotated between my Platinum, LG and SS games. The first two I have reset and am playing through again, but I spend all my time in SS playing Voltorb flip. It's addicting!

hey trainer
Usually, I play around with the after-game. When that's done, I'll other restart (of course, trade over everything to another game), or keep it and playthrough again on another Pokemon game (be it of an older generation or the counterpart of the current one).

After a while, I'll be happy with a team and play around with it, trying to level everything up. That fades over time and I'll try new Pokemon. Sometimes I'll get the urge to complete the Pokedex, but it comes and goes.

Lately, I've been trying to get more into the more advanced mechanics of Pokemon. Competitive Team Building, IV Breeding, EV Training, etc. I've been building a Trick Room team for the VGCs, and I've been breeding Pokemon for other people as gifts. I play on the Battle Subway periodically, and I plan to start going on the Random Match-Up soon.

When that gets a little too much, I'll play an older game, or I'll play like, Pokemon Rumble Blast or something. A mini-game, or the Wii offshoots (Battle Revolution, Colosseum, Pikachu's Pokepark, etc.). If not, I'll settle for just talking about Pokemon.

Eh, whatever I can think of. I'm trying to get 9,999 coins for a Porygon on SoulSilver at the moment. It's maddening...

Also, I'm just training my Pokémon for the heck of it. Found my first shiny that way. I'm thinking about re-battling Red, now that my Pokémon are all at level 88.

After the E4, I go through the game again from the beginning to access all the areas I couldn't so that I see everything in the region.

I do all the stuff you can do daily, then repetitively beat the Elite 4. My Kyogre with 417 Sp. Atk didn't train itself, you know.
