I would say for me working roughly 40 hours a week, and having a 3 year old son, X has been pretty freaking addicting, almost any free time i have goes to playing this game! My fiancee has gotten on me twice since i have bought X, and she is usually pretty lenient when i get a new game as she knows how i am, lol. I had the Elite Four beaten by 12/30/13 and purchased the game on 12/11, but like i said i work 5 1/2 days out of the week, and took Xmas week off to go visit family, so really it was more like a weeks worth of playing, wish i would have wrote down how many hours i did that in, it had to be a record!
