Maximum Playing Time

That would be where the EV training, breeding, and collecting takes over for most of us. Pretty much those of us with more than that are the competitors and/or 100%-ers, with exceptions of people who continue to play just to play.

I see. This might sound odd, but I've never had a console to play Pokémon on, I've always played on emulators.
So naturally, after the game's ending, if there was no post-game, there would be nothing to do for me because
there was no one to fight anymore. It gains a whole new aspect when you can play against other people with
the team you trained yourself.

Wooow, 999? :O My highest was somewhere around 300 in Sapphire, I believe.. many years ago when it had just come out. Don't think I've ever reached anywhere near 900 in any game much less Pokemon.

I had 999:59 in Diamond, and I still wasn't done playing by then. Battle Tower, Underground, Poke Radar... I had a lot to keep me busy. The fact that this was sorta-kinda my first pokemon game and that I didn't get Platinum played into this.

Mine highest was 733 in Pearl version.

I've never even come close to the maximum play time in any of the games, but I'm sure if I were to combine my multiple playthroughs of both Sapphire and FireRed, I wouldn't doubt if they had 300+ hours each. I just don't know if I could find enough to occupy my time into playing 999 hours of the same game, but if there were to ever be a 3rd gen remake featuring the Emerald style Battle Frontier, that would be my best bet in getting there.
