Dudeee, Diamond was the hardest game for me yet! My first time through it took me over 70 hours to complete! Most of it was because I was sooo lost throughout the game (very first nintendo DS game, and I didnt even have a guide. crap) Even to this day I cannot complete either Diamond or Platinum in under 50 hours. I tend to train a lot because I learned my lesson from Diamond the hard way. I wasnt expecting Cynthia to be that strong.

First time through Pearl I ONLY used:

Turtwig > Torterra (Seed Bomb, Earthquake, Crunch, Leech Seed; ITEM: Big Root)
Starly > Staraptor (Brave Bird, Roost, Close Combat, U-Turn; ITEM: King Rock)
Buizel > Floatzel (Ice Beam, Waterfall, Crunch, Aqua Jet)
Kricketot > Kricketune (Brick Break, X-Scissor, Swords Dance, Cut)
Gible > Gabite (Dig, Dragon Claw, Sand-Attack, Hidden Power Fire)

Gible was female and poor natured so left it a Gabite.

TIME: just under ten hours in a speed run. avoided trainers where and when I could.

I'm still playing.. I always go through phases where I'll pick up my DS and play for days and then I will forget about it for a bit, and not go back to it for weeks, or months, ugh.

Started with Diamond, took me a month to beat fully because I had no idea what I was doing...musta been like 30 hours or something. But both platinum and pearl took me more like 15 hours to complete from experience.

I think my Diamond was finished in 16 hours. Platinum was less, although obviously because I already knew where to go and what to do, for the most part.

I usually lose motivation when I'm at the E4 so I quit the game then. n_n

I don't remember exactly, but I want to say in the neighborhood of 35-40 hours due to my intense level grinding and my compulsion to speak to EVERY NPC in the game xD

I don't know the actual number, but I know that it took me much longer than previous games.

I have all three, and Pearl was my first. I have 100+ hours on it. Platinum is currently played by my girlfriend but she's taking her time.
And Diamond is my go-to-game, I have restarted it at least half a dozen times.

When I had pearl, my first of the three,(I have all three now unintentionally) it took me about 44 hours. I remember i was not as considerate of the game as i am now, so now i could probobly do less if i wanted to

I don't generally keep track of my play time, but I think I completed Pearl in roughly 25 hours on my first file. In subsequent files, it was below 20.

At first when diamond was released I download the game and I couldn't find my place around. I was stuck for a week then I quit because it keep crashing down on me. So yeah. I'm going to buy the game again and try to play it tomorrow. If not I'll just use it to collect the legendary beast from gamestop.
