3rd Gen Fastest completion time?

[Wartortle Gang]

I started my Sapphire game over a few days ago because I wanted to do a Lotad>Lombre>Ludicolo solo run and I completed the elite four in 12:46. My Ludicolo was level 69 at the end of it all.

So here I am, asking, what is your fastest completion time in Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald?

 

[Bounsweet]

I think I beat Sapphire Version in 11 hours once, which seems extremely fast for me since I usually take a long-ish time playing through Pokemon games. I like to enjoy the game and explore stuff, catch all the Pokemon on each route, train my Pokemon, etc.

I take forever with the newer games given how much they have to offer besides the story mode now (PokeWood, PWT, Battle Subway, etc.) e_e

I just beat Emerald recently, and it took me I think somewhere in between 9-10 hours, which is definitely a record for me. First run through it probably took me 5 times as long.

 

[Kikaito plush]

the fastest time I beat on my pokemon Ruby is 10-15 hours. My slowest time is 99:99 hours

 

[Sydian]

I think my fastest was around 12. I don't like to go through my games fast though and I take my time to do sidequests and grinding, so yeah. That 12 hour playtime was probably long ago before I had a very particular way to go through the game, haha.

my fastest in Emerald is 11-13 hrs.
And I ensure that every single trainer is defeated

I think the fastest that I managed to get through Sapphire was a little over 17 hours, but I wasn't even really trying to go through that fast. I'm sure if I committed myself to it, I'd probably be able to finish it in around 10 hours.

I beat Fire Red in 10 hours recently. It was in my water Monotype run. It was fun to speed through it like that.

 

[Asher Ingram]

I beat Pokémon Sapphire in 1 hour and 22 mins on my phone on a GBA app this week with no cheats or glitches

 

[Flowerchild]

I'm sure I beat Emerald in about 9-10 hours once, but I can't quite remember. It might be a little more.

And then of course if I'm playing it on VisualBoyAdvance I can just hold down fast forward and beat it in like 5 hours :3

Assuming you didn't speed up the game either, if you can beat Sapphire that fast Asher, you should try recording it, as that's faster than the current speedrun world record right now. But anyway, posting in any thread that's been inactive for more than a year in Third Generation is against the rules, so I'm going to close this, but congrats to everyone new and old on their fastest times!
