    So how often do you pick up your console and play Pokemon? Do you play everyday? Or has your desire to play dwindled recently and you find yourself playing once a month or so? Either way what keeps you playing/has put you off?

    I usually play at least once a day, usually for an hour minimum each session and just have the TV/YouTube on in the background whilst relaxing. I've been playing a lot more recently as it's the summer holidays and I have been replaying a lot of the games (currently on White) with different teams that I've never used before so that keeps my interest high.
     
    i actually play 2-3hrs a day, a bit less on school days now that i'm back, but i seriously wish i played more. [i know that would be unhealthy and excessive but i love pokemon.]
    i have an awfully low attention span so i need to be watching something or listening to something if i'm shiny hunting or i need to be actually playing through the games.

    however because my mind is buzzing about pokemon i find it difficult to play games i also want to play like mario kart and achhd. being addicted has its ups and downs i guess.

    edit- so i checked my activity log to see how much i actually play. and 4 hours today alone. so yeah. i play a lot...

    I feel guilty as a Pokemon mod, but I rarely play these days.

    Like, I would play my Alpha Sapphire copy more, but the thing is, I feel like I've kinda done all there is to do? I'm not going to challenge the Battle Maison because it's boring, challenging the Elite Four again gets boring after a while, and I'm rarely in the mood to really EV train more Pokemon for my team. I really just want to start fresh with Pokemon Sun & Moon and see where that takes me.

    Yeah I can see where you're coming from, it's become rare that'll I'll play X or Omega Ruby recently cause I find them boring after the main game is completed. Whereas the older games have better post-game content so i find myself putting a lot more time into them.
     
    I bought Y when it came out, and played for awhile, then put it away for a couple years.

    I started watching Twitch and that started to get me interested in the game again, so now starting earlier this year I beat Y and after that started completing a living dex and shiny hunting. I also bought X and Omega Ruby and am working on those as well was Black 2, which I bought before X/Y came out but never completed.

    Usually I play everyday, probably anywhere between 1 and 6 hours daily. Shiny hunting usually takes up a majority of it.
     
    I take a lot of breaks while playing a Pokemon game after the main story. I'm currently only doing post-story stuff in all of the games and only playing them a few hours every couple days. I'm currently more focused on beating a ton of other older GBA games after having them forever :P But Sun/Moon will probably be my main handheld focus when they come out, I plan on not having much else to do except on real consoles.
     
    I don't play much anymore, but I'm getting back into it with Pokemon Red VC. I'm also going to start running FireRed again, and then all the others. Really, I just need to dig them out. When I did play them often, I played 1-3 hours a day, with 2-5 on weekends. I multitasked multiple DSs, too.
     
    I would play any new Pokemon games I get (hack or otherwise) at least once a day. But after I beat it and not have much else story-wide to do, I tend to just leave it. Maybe the occasional stop in to look at my team, though.
