  • Took me more or less 21-22 hours. Though I still am grinding like crazy to match the Post National Dex Elite 4.

  • It took me almost exactly a month to beat the game in Japanese. @_@ I'm going a fair bit faster this time, haha. I'm heading up to gym 7 and I've only had the game since Sunday afternoon. :p

    ...and that's fast for me. u_u;

    As of right now I'm on the verge of the 57 hour mark and I'm at the very start of Victory Road.
    I wanted to take it slow and while that kinda worked, it's still only a week tomorrow since it arrived.

    Typically it takes me about 5 or 6 months to play through a game because I seriously like to take my time. But... I've just gotten gym badge number 7 and it's only been about 5 days. Which is record speed for me. I think I'll probably be done before the week is over, maybe just a little bit after.

    I just beat the first gym. I still gotta while, and I play through the games slowly and take time to train and get good natures + IVs. Gonna make this game last as long as I can.

    I'm onto my 35th hour and am at Route 13. Mind that my team is 10 levels under all the other trainers mind.

  • It took me around 18 hours over the course of 3 days to beat Ghetsis and all that stuff, only just beat the Elite Four properly though (36 hours over 6 days). Spent most of it trying to get my Deino to evolve -_-

    Cleared the entire thing in like 2 days on my Japanese version though, have no idea why that is but whatever.

    I told myself I was going to take my time, didn't happen. I got the game on the 7th, beat Ghetsis on the morning of the 9th. I only had about 14 hours of gameplay then. Now, I'm about up to 18 hours of gameplay and have caught all the legendaries minus Tornadus and Landorus, and he event legendaries (Keldeo, etc.)

    I tend to take my time and catch every Pokemon from each area. So it usually takes me quite a white but so far I've only played 26 hours and I'm only at the 4th gym. lol.
