Train my future lv 100 pokemon, egg move breed, or imagine I have pet Eevees that I can understand and talk to (in my head, of course) and take with me everywhere.

Grind some cool pokemon. I look through my box and see if there are any cool pokemon I want to train. Right now I'm doing my Crawdaunt named Lobstar. I usually train them up to level 50 so I can use them in battles against others.
 
I waste time by participating in the Pokemon Musical and attempting to get all the props, or just run around in caves looking for dust clouds and items.

I usually re-battle my favorite gym leaders (like Jasmine and Erika). Back in the DPP days, I would go to the contests.

I do that but instead of contests I do the Pokéathlon, hoping to get to the secret room.

Already have. It's one of my golden moments. (if that's what you're referring to.

HG rules! I sometimes defeat Gym Leaders too. Mainly Jasmine, only to show off my own Steel-Types

I'm always on on the wrong nights. Like thursdays and wednesdays and stuff. It's so weird and annoying. Some times I set my clock to the appropriate date.

I chain for shinies on Platinum when I get really bored, or work to complete the Pokedex.

How can anyone have nothiing to do when there are 646 Pokemon to EV Train and raise to level 100? Surely there are few people who managed to do this since March outside Japan and September last year inside Japan (and those outside Japan with Japanese games).

Actually, it's significantly less than that since most people would only want to work with fully-evolved forms plus whatever pre-evos that work on their own like Chansey and Scyther. Also, it'd be kinda tedious after a while.

I also breed stuff with cool egg moves, and train the Pokemons

If I get bored (by having nothing to do) while playing any game, I normally turn it off and decide to do something else. :) I don't see the point in continuing a game that you're finding boring. It sort of kills the concept of fun that games are supposed to bring.
