Don't know what to do!

[Focal]

I think this goes here, but I don't know what to do! On my Sapphire version, i have 198 Pokémon, I've got all paintings in the Museum, my Swampert is Level 100, my other Pokémon are around Lv. 60, and I beat the Battle Tower 100 times in a row, so I got the Silver and Gold Shield, BUT! I am so bored! I wanna start a new game, but I don't know if I should... I know I can do it all again, but my friend won't trade me his Groudon and Latios so I can finish my Pokédex. Should I or should I not start a new game? I want to, but I'm afraid of losing everything... *panicks* :ermm:

You can either beg and beg and beg to your friend until he gives up and trade them back to him straightaway, or buy a Ruby version and complete the game and trade them over to Sapphire. That's all I can think.

EDIT: Or if you are very desperate for Groudon and Latios, get a Gameshark, Action Replay GBA or Xploder and hack them. But only if you risk.

Well there's always the possibility that someone else will trade you their groudon/latios or your friend especially if they ever plan on starting their own game over. But yeah just ask your friend to trade them and then trade them back. That way he'll get them back and your dex will be full. But I personally wouldn't start the game over. If anything I'd get ruby (if you don't have it already) and just restart that one. For me anyways, I always have one really good version and then the other is for restarting and whatnot. I do this because it gets on my last nerves when I find someone who actually plays the game and wants to battle when I had just restarted my game and I don't have any awesome pokes to battle with. Also you can always try for 300+ wins in the battle tower, try to get every poke to lv 100, etc. There's still stuff to do and I mean if you get Fire Red or Leaf Green you might want to add some old RBY pokes to your sapphire and then try to get all 386 in your pokedex. Now that would be an amazing accomplishment to be able to do. Course Celebi, Mew, and Jirachi could be hard to get though.

But it's your game and if you have a lot of free time (summer's almost over) then go for it.

I've begged my friend for weeks, but he wants 198 pokes himself and then he wants to trade, so we both complete it at the same time, but he only has 96 right now. And I was thinking about buying Ruby, but then I need to search for Latios and that won't be easy. But thanks for all your help guys.
