How many hours have you played...

Maybe 1000 hours worth of play? I don't keep track of how long I play Pokemon. xD

To be honest, I don't think anyone really does keep track of their game play hours. It's one of those things that just slips by because you're too engrossed into your Pokemon game.
 
Oh my, um.
Pokémon Blue: 120 hours.
Pokémon Sapphire: 102 hours.
Pokémon FireRed: 195 hours. (hehe, I love FireRed)
Second FireRed adventure: 92 hours.
Pokémon Diamond: 132 hours.
Second Diamond Adventure: 108 hours.
Third Diamond Adventure: 8 hours. (Just started about a month ago.)
Pokémon Heart Gold (JAP): 92 hours.
Pokémon Soul Silver (US): 142 hours.
Pokémon White: 20 minutes. xD


So that all adds up to...1011 hours and 20 minutes. This has been throughout my whole life, js.

(also, these are just estimated numbers. Not exactly the right amount of numbers)
 
I have put a lot of hours into Pokemon games, so much that I don't even know!
So I'll just tell you some I remember off the top my head.
Pokemon Pearl: 350 or 420 hours
Pokemon SoulSilver: 42 hours
I don't really know if I'm absolutly correct on these.
 
Wow. Here's the exact amounts (mine)

Saphire - 40 hours or so

Ruby - 20 hours

Emerald - 50 hours

Pearl - 40 hours

Platinum - 20 hours

SoulSilver - 80 hours

Ya, that's 250 hours or so. That's kinda sad. -_-
 
I only Played one game, and Maybe 200 episodes, so:
Usual Episode Time: 30 min.
100 hours.
Plus:183 hours of Platinum
=
283 hours.
 
I am too lazy to dig up my GB and GBA games and Colo and XD so I will just post the DS ones. This also doesn't account for the hours I played helping my friends back in the day. Most of these areas are from pokemon trading and assisting people with cloning and other services.

Pearl - 999.59(At least 2000 hours since it stops at this number, AT LEAST)
Diamond - 224:00
Platinum - 137:07
Silver - 120: 48
Gold - 2:00

With the others combined and with all the restarts I would said at least 3000. Then on top of that all the other peoples game I have played and assisted on. Yes I know I have no life.
 
I'm not going to check all my games for play times...and spin offs don't really clock themselves...but I'm...positive I'm over 1000...2000...maybe more. I'm a nerd, ok. :(
 
--Main Series--
Red - I restarted this one several times, so maybe somewhere in between 60-80 hours combined from all my restarts before now. My current playthrough has only 19 hours logged in it, though, but this one may have a lot in the end since I plan to use this to finally beat Stadium.
Blue - 1 playthrough worth I know for certain, how long it took...I dunno
Yellow - Same as Blue
Silver - All my playthroughs combined I estimate to be about 100 or more hours. Mainly because I loved that game to death at the time.
Gold - Again, just 1 playthrough worth.
Crystal - 40 or so hours maybe?
Ruby - 169 hours
FireRed - 70 hours
Diamond - 80 hours thus far
SoulSilver - 170 hours exact as of now
I have Emerald, Sapphire, and LeafGreen, but I never even played them at all ever since getting them.

So just the main games combined I estimate to be at least 630 hours. But I'm really going from foggy memory on the old games here as well.

This doesn't include the spinoff games either, which I know I've clocked in a nice chunk of hours in Colosseum before my memory card wiped itself. And my 64 is a pain to dig out and check the times on. I have about 22 in the TGC for game boy, not including my restarts. And 16 hours in Explorers of Time.
 
probably between 200 and 300 hours. i am not that addicted.. i play pokemon to avoid boredom. 8d
 
I'd say i've played about 200 hours or so. :)
 
Using rough estimates, I would say I've played about 500 hours (About 10-15 hr. on Red/Yellow, 40-50 hr. on Gold, 150 hr. on Fire Red, and 300 hr. on Sapphire/Emerald).
 
hmm (most of these are estimates)

Red version: probably around 100 hours (not including how many times I restarted the game, I had the other versions too but my siblings played them mostly)
Yellow version: probably around 100 too ( I just remember I played A LOT)
Gold version: probably like 120 hours (not including the time my friend's sister restarted the game)
Crystal version: 50 hours (I lost this game so I didn't play it much sadness...)
Ruby version: probably 100 hours
Emerald version: like 40 hours (got bored...why? I don't know, probably because it was my brother's game)
Firered version:90 hours (not including the 2 times i've restarted the game)
Diamond version: 130 hours ( lost this game..why do I keep losing games?)
Platinum version: 110 hours (this one wasn't even mine haha)
Heartgold version: 100 hours
White version: none.yet. haha


so probably around 940 hours, so that's around like 40 days straight playing pokemon? without including all the times I've restarted the games. wow, I wasted about a month of my life just playing pokemon hahaha

I spent my whole childhood on Pokemon, so that was a lot. I'm still obsessed with Pokemon, and I waste afternoons whenever I have nothing to do by playing Pokemon Platinum or SoulSilver. Overall, I'd probably have spent 800-1,000 hours on Pokemon.
 
I'll have to say around 2,000 to 3,000-ish, but that isn't counting emulators. Yeah. I play it that much.
 
umm i think i have about 900+ on my heart gold right now :D something like that lol
 
About 800 hours, give or take a few dozen. I began playing with Yellow on my sixth birthday. It's been a while... ^^
 
I've played over a year been playing since pokemon was released (i've stopped for months sometimes) when i play i maybe play 2-3 hours a weekend.

I had have emerald say 999 99 game time and freeze like that though.
