    what's the most hours you've put into a pokémon game? what game, and what were you doing?

    bonus: what game did you play the least?

    I don't have the save file anymore but I'm pretty sure I got to around 250 hours in Diamond, which might be the highest I've gotten to - I can't think of anything else that would compare. I spent a longggg time grinding my entire team up to super high levels even after there was nothing to battle with them. Dunno why I did, but it was pretty fun at the time. My playtimes are normally pretty low because I don't Shiny Hunt much and Sun is the first time I've even tried to complete the Pokédex, I guess lol.

    As for least it would probably be X. I didn't care about that game at all, I was done with it once I beat the main story. Kalos is p garbage imo :(
     
    The most I've put into a game is my original White file (300+ hours, I regret deleting it so much) I had everything, a lot of shinies and legendaries (and Events!) and 300+ pokemon registered in the national dex. I don't know what came over me that caused me to delete it. I spent so much time at the GTS in that games

    My least would most likely be X, I wasn't a big fan of those games and I only logged about 25 hours of gameplay into it.
     
    About 180+ Hourish that time on XY just doing dex search and battles also on OR battling and spend time soaring and gtsing.
     
    Got 365 hours and counting on my Diamond save file which is almost ten years old (it's still my first one). I'm not planning to delete it until I completed the Pokédex and migrated all my precious Pokémon to Black. The least is probably on some replay of LeafGreen.
     
    pretty sure i'm around about 300 hours on my white save. it is the game that i have the majority of my pokemon on traded from several different versions.
     
    The most I've ever had was the best part of 700 hours in Emerald, that game was literally my life as a kid. The least amount of time was probably spent on Yellow, I literally didn't touch it after I finished the game, so it's got about a 20 hour save.
     
    The most I've played a single save file was on Sapphire, and I think I was just short of 300 hours before resetting. Probably spent more time playing FireRed though, as I've had multiple saves on there, with two of them around 200 hours each.

    I haven't hit 100 hours on any game since HeartGold, but it wouldn't surprise me if Sun changes that. Currently at about 85 hours, and I'm just starting to dive into the postgame stuff.
     
    In terms of individual long-running saves, my first Diamond one was well over 200 hours, my current one is too (it's been on the go since 2011 as I migrate everything to it).

    I used to be able to beat the Champion in Emerald in exactly 16 hours, but I did that so often I've probably ran up 1000+ on it.

    My average right now tends to be in the 70s or 80s before I start playing a different game.
     
    999.99 on my omega ruby, and still counting. That was when I became serious into competitive battling. I spent a heck lot of time breeding mons and on the GTS and I still use the game for teaching moves like earth power to gastrodon in sm.
     
    The most hours I've ever done was maybe 72 hours in B2 because I was trying to figure out those stupid Abyssal Ruins (which I never figured out!!!) and searching for more shines/legendaries.
    Least was maybe 13-16 hours on Kalos :x
