    I think somewhere in the 400's. Forget the game, but remember seeing that number.

    Honestly, I reset games so often, so the number also resets. I plan on never resetting Moon though.

  • Back in my younger days when I was even more addicted to Pokemon than I am now my original Emerald save had a playtime of something between 650-700 hours I can't quite remember. Most of that consisted of "catching 'em all", grinding Pokemon to level 100 and trying to conquer the Battle Frontier. Honestly I loved that game so much and spent every available minute playing it.

    The most I've ever played was FireRed and that was at 280 hours.

  • I'm pretty sure my Emerald (which got mass trading between all my GBA games when I completed the National Dex) went to 999:99 or whichever way the maxed out time is XD
    Though a lot of that is my SP setting next to me, as I multitask a lot ^^;
    And I still need to beat the Fronteir, but everything else in that game is %100 complete.

    I have maxed out my Omega Ruby game for the first time ever. I usually would get up to the 700's in my last two games.

    Y has the highest recorded playtime for a single file, at 600 something. Don't remember the exact number, though it was at least higher than my first White file, which was just over 601 hours.

    I always get the question of how much of it is actual playing? I laugh because I know a good 300 hours is of my DS sitting around or me falling asleep.

    I currently have well over 60 hours on my Alpha Sapphire. In most of the Pokémon games, I would be running between 45-50 hours before I'd face the Elite Four. My current Alpha Sapphire file is the highest time so far playing a Generation VI game.
    I remember logging well over 100 hours on an early playing of Yellow before that save got wiped on Labor Day 2000 (which might have been for the best, as I made too many critical mistakes with that save file, such as running from battles with the Legendary Birds, and spoiling the starter Pikachu to the point where it got to Level 65 by the time I faced the final Gym.) That might have been the highest play time of any main series game that I've played, and I think I might have even maxed out the clock on it.

  • On my Alpha Sapphire, I have 188 hours on it. This is mainly because of breeding and completing my living dex. I am going to do more shiny hunts soon so that will make my time certainly sky rocket. c:

  • 115 and counting. Spent most of it by collecting ribbons, completing my
    living dex, casual breeding, battling and trading. うんうん

    My highest individual save is Y, at just under 500 hours. I Think think I have about 400 on my White 2, and I remember when I was a kid my for Fire Red had like 360+ before resetting it.

    I know for a fact that my Fire Red has had over 1000+ hours over the years. I can't remember how many times I have reset that thing.

    Between 450 and 500 hours, I think, on both Diamond and X. I believe LG is around 350ish, and Gold was at 257 when my battery gave out. A lot of my other games are in the 100-200 range. RBY, I have no idea, because I've had a lot of different files for those.

  • 800 hours? ahhdhffss

    My max is probably somewhere around 300-350 hours. Wish I didn't reset my old Diamond and Emerald file so I could check but I haven't ever gone over the 300 mark I don't think. With 300 I feel like I've more or less done all I could.. bred all my favorites with good IVs, completed the dex, fully completed all side quests, got platinum super secret base rank (ORAS), etc. Not sure what I'd be able to do to go much higher. x'D
