4th Gen How long did it take you to beat the game?

[Cohacq]

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

I still havent played it, so I just wounder how long people usually take.

EDIT: I forgot the 40-45 choice, is there any way to edit the poll?

 

[Simmo0916]

Im at 69:17 and i havent beat it yet. I still have 3 badges to go i think, then Red, but im not exactly rushing.

 

[PlatinumDude]

In both my HG and SS games, it took me around 100+ hours to complete them, mainly because of the heavy-duty training I did prior to the E4.

 

[Venusaur's awsome]

i beat it in 23:13 i just checked it was easy with a meganium with body slam and other moves

 

[Sgt_Grovyle]

it took me 19:28 to beat the elite 4 the first time but i was at 47:13 when i beat them the 2nd time.

 

[Poketto-Monsuta]

like less than 24 hours to get all the badges I think for me(rushed through). But I'm still catching them all!

 

[Silver]

IIRC, I beat SS is roughly 14 hours the first playthrough, can't remember exactly though.

 

[Blew]

It usually takes me 50+ hours to beat the game. I spend most of the time trading and battling and I quite often leave my DS running when I go off to do something else.

 

[FrostPheonix]

upto about 70 and still have to take down red :(
Still, other than that, all done.

 

[alphabetsoup102062]

I'm upto about 50 hrs I think and I am no where near beating Red. My team are still level 60 or so I think so I will still be a long time until I beat him.

 

[xhir]

I took around 60+ hours for double E4, but for Red, which I put off for a longgg while, around 150 hours I think ^^;

 

[Aakeosu]

On 264 hours, beat the E4 in 15 hours. Not sure when I defeated Red.

 

[solarowl]

I got like over 70 hours because I train a lot for big battles like E4 or Red.

 

[blue]

Well, I'm FAR from completing the game considering I've only just obtainted my 3rd badge however, my time currently is 15:13 (Mainly because I leave my DS lying around quite often switched on :P)
But when I completed it the first time round (In Japanese) my time was in the 70 hours mark, I think. :).

 

[Tatsuo-san]

That was 15:21 for a first play through. And its with training, yeah. When I arrived to the E4 all of my Pokemons was around 52-55 level.

Now, I have more than 20 hours, and there's still much job to do, I think.

 

[mrunner4home]

well I'm at exactly 200:00 hours (I saved at that point just a few minutes ago! :D (closed my ds and haven't been playing) I'm very proud :D) and... I just beat the 8th gym :) training now to challenge the komono girls (or whatever their names are).

you can't really go by what I'm saying though because I raise every single pokemon I catch (one of each in the pokedex, not counting the evolutions... I evolve the pre evos). so what are there in the pokedex? like 253? take away the evolutions, say theirs 150 of them... that means I have to raise and evolve about 100 pokemon :) so you can't really take my word for how long it'll take to beat the game

 

[Eeohnex]

I have around 150:00 hours or so, and haven't been able to finish it yet. Been busy with school and stuff, hopefully I will finish it before I get Pokémon Black. I was thinking on starting over, but I think I will just finish and then start over later.

 

[Apostrophe]

My first playthrough took 24 hours to beat the Elite 4 for the first time and 38 hours to beat Red (Highest level was 70). My main problem was I didn't expect to need to raise an Ice-Type (Lance is WAAAY harder in HGSS than in GSC).

My current playthough clocked 14:59 after beating Lance (highest level was 44), 20:58 to get 16 badges, and and 23:36 to beat the post-nat-dex E4 (highest level was 59). I can already smell a victory against Red once my Amphy can outspeed Lapras. :]

 

[Kikaito plush]

99:00 was when I got to kanto, 111hours was when I defeated red

 

[The Garchomper]

Im at 60 and close to beating Red. But no guarentees i'll do it first time around;
