What challenges do you set yourself?
Hi
So I just hit level 34 today with my 10'000th Pokemon! and guess which Pokemon it was! I'll reveal it at the end.
I'm so bored out of this game, at the beginning it was really fun, but shortly after there haven't been any relevant contents released. So I had to set my own challenges to make it still playable for me. For example my first own challenge was when I was Level 25 and I decided to jump right over to Level 27. My plan was to collect 201 Pokemon ready to evolve, so in order that I do not have to catch one single Pokemon at Level 26, nor spin a single Pokestop, nor hatch a single egg. Just before I hit level 26 I evolved 201 Pokemon with lucky eggs and there I was suddenly Level 27. That's kinda satisfying to accomplish a goal you have set yourself.
I did the same challenge when I was Level 28, I told myself that I want to jump right over to Level 30. So I started collecting pidgeys and the likes and prepared 351 Pokemon to evolve. That was one hellish challenge, I didn't want to hit Level 29 still catching Pokemon, it took me a lot of patience and willpower, in the end it worked out..
My latest accomplishment is hitting Level 34 with my 10'000th Pokemon, well not that spectacular, but it still makes the moment memorable for me. I had to coordinate and manage the missing experience without catching too many pokemons :D.
Here are some stats from my game so far:
Level 34: 4'750'004 EXP
Pokemon caught: 10'000
Pokemon evolved: 1714
Pokestops spun: 11'919
Won fights: 1'601
Walked Km: 821
Eggs hatched: 466
Trained friendly gyms: 324
Worth mentioning:
Pidgeys seen 2175 caught: 1863 -> 85,7% Catchrate
My 10'000th Pokemon was a Lapras :)!!
So, tell me, what are your challenges you set yourselves? or let me see your stats :).

Non of your good ideas so far. Thank you for inspiration.
My challange at the moment is just winter, dodging with cold fingers, finding gyms with a roof to fight without being forced to blow snowflakes from the screen, finding good spots in home and office to put the telephone for walking with gps-jitter, thinking twice before catching a pkm in my room as balls become rare.
One-handed cycling to spin 2..3 pokestops per minute is now impossible, cold fingers, snowy, icy ground.
Basically, my challange is to continue playing, waiting for spring.
At the moment, my challenge is to make the gym near my home a stable Level 10 Mystic. It used to be a Lvl10 Valor (full of 3000+ Gyarados/Rhydons/Dragonites) until I soloed it a few days ago, and now it's been switching colors like crazy. I just came back from training it up to Level 7 and in about an hour it's back to yellow.
Haha, I have a 42CP Vaporeon, a 44CP Snorlax, a 29CP Magneton...
I have many other goals too, including: 100%IV Dragonite/Gyarados/Exeggutor..., reach level 35 without using lucky eggs...
So I know I'm far away from completing with this game :)
However, I don't play like crazy like before, just slowly
I'm level 31 but I focus more on powering up my top crew for battling. I level up just buy doing want I need to do to get more stardust lol. I try to hold as many gyms as I can for the stardust and coins. I spend most of my coins on incubators to hatch more mons to get more stardust. I hit all the pokestops I can to catch more mons to get more stardust. All in the quest of maxing out my best crew.
Trying to reach 1.2 million+ stardust and get 10 quality (or just high CP) defenders...
I only have 1 Rhydon currently with decentish CP (and not even 90%+)...
Waiting for Eevee or a Snorlax or enough Karps to get Gyrados...Yeah, they are weak defenders, but for some of us, we have very few high CP mons to stay in gyms (lvl 30).
One of my challenges is trying to "catch 'em all" in the wild. I am only missing Chansey from my Gen 1 regional pokedex, but I am missing about 27 mons from my "wild-caught" pokedex. Before the New Year starter pokemon event, I had never seen any of the "big boy" starter evolutions (Blastoise, Charizard, Venusaur) in the wild, nor a Charmeleon. I was able to catch multiple specimens of all but the Charizard in the first few days of the event, but Charizard eluded me. Knowing I might never get another chance like this, I went out each night of the event specifically to catch a Charizard, and I finally got one on the last night. That was one of the happiest catches of my Pokemon Go career.
