5th Gen How often do you play the games?

[Ho-Oh]

Figured this'd be better off as two different threads.

How often do you play? If you don't play the games often, why not? Is it that you have other commitments, the games are boring or you simply have done all you can do in the games (which seems pretty unlikely...)? Did you play the games a lot more in the past? Do you play these games more often than you play past games (if so, is that due to them being the "newer" games or another reason?) If you play the games a lot now, do you see yourself playing them often when newer games are released, aka, can you see yourself going back to Black and/or White?

On a side note, if you'd like to discuss about why you're not playing in general in reference to post-game and such, you'd best be posting in the thread for that.

I used to play it every day, but then I got bored sort of... And then after I beat the game, I went on Dream World every day. Except, now I haven't been on at all since I haven't exactly touched the DS for weeks now.

 

[empty streets]

I play my White every day while I'm on holiday. I usually do it in bed before falling asleep xD
The new generation seems a bit strange to me though..

 

[DVK]

yeah i play it everyday, and i've restarted both at least 3 times each.... these games for some reason are on par with being my favourite pokemon games along with emerald, my first game was pokemon yellow and I've had every game since and they just keep getting better, and B/W has tipped the iceberg :)

 

[Flareen]

I actually haven't played it much yet x.x
I played my white up to the top four. Then I took a break cause I wanted to finish training my Pokémon off SS (so I could leave a copy on PBR) before sending them over. Buuut when I was about to do so... I found out that I can't trade due langauge differences D: So I got myself another Black. I try to play it daily.. mostly before I fall asleep o.o But I'm not too far yet :3

 

[spiderbrush]

I used to play White pretty frequently. As in, every day frequently. But after

Spoiler:

finding the sages in post game

I started to stop playing it. I only ever picked it up to see what the different seasons looked like and what my Ferris Wheel buddy for the month was like. Last time I played I was trying out the Battle Subway, but I'm not sure when I'll go back.

 

[dreyko]

i usually play everyday. i spend my time EV training, trading and battling. im always in the process of making a better team.

 

[Nakuzami]

I don't play very often anymore. I beat White the first week it came out... played through Black one and a half times(Yeah, haven't finished my second playthrough... who knows if I ever will :|) I just have better things to do, like being here (unless of course you'd prefer I never come on and have my face stuck in my DS -.^) or playing Pearl/SoulSilver. I've started to play it a bit more though...

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

When the first month of the new games came out, I was playing evey waking hour of the day (even though I should have been doing homework but oh well) but after the month, I would play the game three to four times a week (which I am still doing). I'm just training my Pokemon and trying to max out my trainer card which is taking forever.

[███]

I Use To Play Like 24/7 When I Actually Was Leveling And Catching All 150 Pokemon.

Now I Don't Play As Much And I've Become A Horrible Leveler Due To "EVs" And "IVs" Values.

 

[Guy]

I actually haven't touched White in a couple of months now. I actually stopped mid game after restarting it my second or third time. When I had first gotten it, I was playing it every day, but now not as much as I thought I would have. I'll pick it up again eventually and start playing it more often, but right now I have my eyes set on playing over Platinum again.

 

[pokkeball]

Every time a new Pokemon game comes out I always play it 24/7 till I complete it. Then I leave it because after you have beaten the game there is nothing much left to do.

 

[ZMiX]

I used to play a lot more, but now I have school and work >.<

 

[PlatinumDude]

I play Black quite a lot because of its engaging storyline and the Pokemon involved. Post-game, it sort of slows down.

 

[Triscuit]

Just started playing them for the first time, so often for now, but probably a significant amount less once I head back to school.

 

[Roughneck Tom]

I play these games usually during my holidays . However , whenever i am playing i play to the fullest extent possible

 

[The Nightmare]

I play them alot but not everyday.

 

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

the plotline was amazing and new pokemon were nice, but after E4 I just got gradually bored of it and now I barely even play my pokemon black (though I've gone back to Gen IV temporarily)

 

[Tsvet]

Well, I play everyday so I can train my pokemons and breed the ones that traders request. I still see this as a fun thing to do, so I keep playing. {:

About restarting the game, I only did twice. To get the three legendary dogs (since they depend on your starter) and to get both Latios and Latias.

I'm trying to start SoulSilver, since I never played it and I'm curious to see its story.

 

[mac098]

i kinda play it but i'm just not a big fan of the new generation. it seems too...teddy bearish...like all the pokemon are just a bunch of stuffed animals. so i've been playing gen 1-3 more than the last two generations. they were way more fun compared to these past two
