I have been playing those games since I was 6, but I didn't know anything about IVs, EVs, Breeding, Stats. So I beat the Sword Storyline and now I got no clue as to what to do to get some more replay value?

How the fuck do you play this?

        yeah, why bother when I'm type effective + stab and have a team member for every opposing type, and can take down anything (except gyms, but they're not much worse) in 1-2 hits

      It also takes like 20 hours of grinding to breed a competitive pokemon between egg moves, IV breeding, EV training, and actually leveling the thing.

      Which you can end up doing for a change that'd be as simple as swapping some cards around in a CCG, the closest alternative game format.
