    I stopped playing shortly after I managed to complete the Nationaldex, which was quite time consuming and after having spend tons of hours into the game, I felt like being in need of a long break, which is what I'm doing right now.

    Yep. Still playing. I only got the game three days ago and I'm playing both Omega Ruby and X at the same time, so it's going to take a while before I even get somewhat close to finishing the main story.

    I haven't been playing it much lately, but I've still somehow racked up 300 hours on it. And I still have stuff to do like get 50+ wins in Super Singles, Rotations, and Multi (already did it in Doubles), actually do stuff with my Secret Base, win the Contests, fill up the regional Dex @_@

  • Yes and no. I play seldomly, basically. I play the older games more than I do ORAS. I think a lot of it has to do with difficulty for me. I've never been very good at Pokemon games with a lot challenges to face. Don't get me wrong, I love challenging games. It's just I still have quite the hard time beating them.

    XY was probably the easiest for me to beat without wanting to use cheats. I love XY more than ORAS, to be honest. The reason is because it was the first pokemon game I ever beat without using cheats or my level 100 shiny Mew (don't ask) in ORAS. :|

    I've put the games on hold some time ago, but now, I've restarted playing them. I plan on having the complete National Dex in Alpha Sapphire, which will be restricted to non-competitive stuff due to the fact that it's highly unfair to any other players (I think I have all the legendary ones in AS/OR and not enough pokemon to make adecent team anymore, also uses this game to breed X/Y starter eggs). I erased my save data from X/Y twice now to get both a fresh start and enough starter eggs, which I will trade using my small 3DS between my games as eggs.

    Basically, I'm giving myself a fresh start and all the starters in X/Y now.

  • I beat my Omega Ruby for the 4th time. It wasn't one time right after the other, i collected all my pokes through each run, thing is, the game doesnt hold much replay value. So at the moment I just beat Omega Ruby, and Y I'm on the 5th gym.

  • I haven't played ORAS in months. I've been wanting to soft reset for a shiny Cresselia after catching a shiny Zekrom in December, so I'm stuck on Crescent Isle for the time being. The games lasted a lot less than I thought they would. I set them down after 3 months and went back to X/Y because it already has my utility/breeding Pokemon, Le Wow's restaurant or Battle Chateau for training, and outfit customization when I need a change.

    Yes I am still playing. Soft Reseting for a shiny Mesprit. I am more a collector than a battler. :)

  • I've put maybe 40 hours into ORAS at most since its release, and haven't really played it since around December. I prefer XY for breeding/leveling up etc, and ORAS holds little replay value for me since I've played through R/S/E enough already.

  • Still poking around and wrapping up captures at Mirage Spots, as well as catching the last couple of legendaries in the game(which all come out of large hoops, so inb4 Hoopa Episode).

  • I still play Omega Ruby, but nowhere near as much as I used to. After beating the game I stuck with breeding/trading as I usually do, but then the QR exploit happened and killed almost all of my motivation to do any of that. I keep meaning to breed some Pokemon specifically for catching other Pokemon and finally catch the legendaries and finish my HA collection, but that hasn't happened yet.

  • I got Alpha Sapphire in December and I haven't even gotten to the first gym yet. Most of this is because school & I didn't want to get addicted during the last semester. Another reason is because I feel like I never have time to just sit and do nothing & play Pokemon - I'm always doing something. Finally, part of me has just felt disconnected with Pokemon and I don't know how to get that spark back. I want it back, but playing Pokemon just is very boring now. I don't like leveling up, I never have any luck shiny hunting. When I played Platinum...wow, that game had me addicted forever! I wish I had that feeling again. But, I promise, I will eventually complete AS lol

  • I stopped playing after, norman i think. This game didn't ever push me to play, it didn't reel me in to spend mindless hours in a video game. It didn't interest me. One day, I will get inspired to be wiona!

  • Stopped for 2 weeks, now I'm big on breeding and trading and slowly building a competitive battle team. Currently attempting to catch a deino, glalie and find a Beldum to complete the team of :

    Zoroark
    Deinos final evo (can't remember name)
    Metagross
    Froslass
    Charizard/Typlosion
    Jolteon.

    And levelling up my legendary battling team:

    Mewtwo
    Groudon
    Darkrai
    Victini
    Suicine
    Mew

    Will be complete once I capture Suicine.

    I'm still playing, but only because I haven't finished the main storyline yet. Once I do, I doubt that I'll keep playing. Y is where all of my Pokemon are stored, so it would be easier for any Dex completion on that version. Plus, I just don't really like OmegaRuby. There's just something about Hoenn that makes it difficult to enjoy playing through.

  • I got the games myself on December 25th, 2014. I beat Omega Ruby on December 27th, 2014 and Alpha Sapphire on December 29th, 2014. A month later I completed the National Dex on Omega Ruby, and since then I have dropped both games into my desk. I don't expect to play them again anytime soon as I focus on MMO Projects relating to Pokemon these days, I only really play the game once and then i'm done, so even completing the Pokedex itself (without hacks) took a strain on my want of playing my DS, I definitely prefer my 1920 x 1080 Monitors over the small screen that is my 1st Generation Nintendo 3ds.
