How do people spend 300+ hours on 1 gamesave?

Plug your DS into the charger and let it AFK/AFDS. :p

Nope, 110 hours is my personal best, and that's on White. ;3

I'll reach 300 hours eventually.

It's not really that hard to spend 300 hours or more on a gamesave, you can breed and hatch eggs to gain hours, you can continuously battle the elite 4 and champion, you can catch pokemon and fill your pokedex and do all sorts of different things lol.

I think Platinum was the one I spent the longest time on, somewhere around 356 hours. xD My Black version just turned over the 100 hours mark, even though today was the first time I'd picked up the game in months.

I finish the main story in 40-60 hours usually, but when I try to complete the Pokédex then I can easily get few hundreds of hours on a save.

I've had my White since about the beginning of the year and I have about 300 hours on it. There have been times in the past when I set the game down and do something else for a moment or two, but I doubt cumulatively that adds up to more than an hour really.

I regularly rack up 300+ hours counted in each Pokemon game.
Now, that's not to say I actually spent every hour of that time playing. A lot of the time in my White version (281:30 and counting) was spent with the DS just sitting open because I had forgotten about it.
Of course, there's also the grinding in between gyms/the Elite Four, the Battle Tower/Frontier/Subway, exploring post-game stuff, and just getting bored and going out to catch Pokemon...
For me, it's pretty easy to rack that kind of time up.

I think I've maybe clocked 300 hours on all of my games combined. The game that I had the most hours on was my original Sapphire file, and it had roughly 130 hours. Even then, about 40 of those hours was using that daycare trick where you put a heavy object on your up button right in front of a mudslide, and overnight your Pokemon would grow 30 levels. I think my Fire Red is also around 100 hours, but I'm not sure if I've quite hit that mark yet.

i have 200+ hrs so far on my SS.

breeding/EV training/and reg gameplay makes up for like around 200hrs and ive afk quiet a few hours. over 10 at least.


if i had all my pokemon games and theyre saved files. combined, i'd have over 1500hrs easily.
