How long did it take you to beat the game the first time?

It took me a whopping 33 hours, with about 2-3 hours of grinding before being able to take on the E4.

I read that it's actually impossible to complete OPlatinum in under 5 Hours. That is without hacking

I think that it took me around 27 hours to complete my whole play through of the game, becuase of the amount of grinding I did.

Because I did a lot of training throughout the main storyline, I finished D/P/Pt in around 50-100+ hours.

The first time I played pearl it took me around 30-35 hours to beat the game completely. That's not including the Pokedex though.

Around 27 hours and some minutes to beat the Elite Four in Platinum, if memory serves me correctly. My time to beat the post-game activities is a bit skewed because I did go on a Pokedex-completion rampage during that time.

It took me 15-20 hours. And that's with the help of Pokesav. Towards the end, especially at the snow mountain, I wasn't finding the game fun at all. I just finished it for the sake of finishing in.

It took me around 10-15 hours. I'm assuming about 14 hours, this is Diamond. But that is of course doing the bare minimum. This is my second, my first one took me about 21 hours. But that mountain where you find Dialga is just so annoying...

Under 25 hours.

I was racing through my Pearl like there was no tomorrow.

However I'm slowly working my way through HeartGold though.

I took me 22 hours to complete the game. Wasn't actually that hard

I beat the league the first time i went i brought 5 Lvl 55+ pokemon and one HM slave.

If you wanna beat the game fast don't just train your starter before you get past Victory Road. You have to train all your pokemon in Victory Road and the gyms.

I usually spread my time around, when start a game it takes me a few months to beat it because i play a lot of grand theft auto and call of duty, but hour wise it takes me around 32 hours, and if i played straight foward without doing anything other than training and battling it would take me around 15 hours.

Hours, I don't know, but when I first got Pearl on the sunday it came out, I beat the pokemon league that Friday.

With Platinum, well I never really finished. I got bored while playing. I need to pick it up again...for the 3rd time.

Well, It took me about 85 Hours to finish Platinum.
REASONS:
TWO TIMES,I forgot to turn my game off when I went to Sleep.
25 hours of telling me HOW THE HELL you get up Coronet.
15 hours of wandering.
25 hours of grinding o beat E4.(Second time I went to the E4 Same File, took me 10 minutes XD.)

I just beat the E4 with 63 hours of play.


I like to experiment with teams. So half that time was me just figuring out if I should replace Blaizken with Dusknoir.
