6th Gen Time sure does fly by.....

[Nah]

So I just passed the 500 hour mark on my Y, which is nuts considering X/Y's lack of post game. I think I've spent most of that time breeding and at the Battle Maison lol. How long have y'all spent on X and Y? And why is it that the ones with the least post-game are the ones I spend the most time on?

 

[Cakesu]

I've spent over 1,000 hours playing that game. Never have I spent so much time playing a Pokemon game before, I'm surprised. But that's because I breed a lot and I like going to the Battle Maison too, as well as shiny hunting (when I had free time xD).

 

[Pendraflare]

Main copy of X: 252 hours
First play of Y: I don't know, 23 hours or so?
Y Poison Monotype: I think 28
X Wedlocke (Pokémon Center restrictions, set mode, terminated at Victory Road): 49 hours
X Ground Monotype: I don't know, must've been around 25
Y Red Mono-Color: Around 28
X Dark Monotype: Around 25
X Wedlocke (no bag items in battle): 50 hours
Y Normal Monotype: 21 hours
X Blue Mono-Color: 26 hours

So I think at least 500 hours i've put into these games total between all my playthroughs of them. Could be off by a little bit, but that's what I recall. Man, that is quite a few plays i've done here.

 

[DemoBoy]

I was on about 40 hours and I left the game alone for a while but in the past week I've put in 15 hours lol.

 

[Mr.Eeveelutions]

I finished the game at around 40 hours, I then spent the next 350 hours breeding shiny pokemon and battling. I was surprised by the amount of hours I spent on it, but then I realised it was pokemon and stopped wondering if I should do something else...

I have 914:20. The only reason I don't have max is just because I have long breaks very often. Hours come from weeks of Masuda breeding Shinies.

 

[Howmander]

999:59 for me! Much, much more according to the 3DS counter, however a lot of those hours listed in the 3DS are from starting the game, hatching eggs, checking the IVs and then resetting so not everything the 3DS says is actually saved, in game time.

The main difference for me from everyone else? I haven't even gotten to the second gym yet! When I first discovered the GTS and Wonder Trade I spent months just doing that it seems. I never had the fourth or fifth gen games so I had a lot of stuff I missed out on doing. Well then when I got sick of random trades I started finding shinies (about 1 per 100 hours) so I was able to trade them for legendaries, and then Pokebank came out and I was able to trade the pokebank exclusives for other legendaries, and then I came upon route 7 with the Daycare breeding and berry gardens and I have been breeding perfect pokemon ever since and I quite honestly haven't even stepped into the cave on that route yet, I have just been breeding (in reverse order that they are normally caught by) every possible catchable pokemon from route 7 down to route 1 (currently at Flabebe) and when I get them all at 5IV level, THEN I can finally move on! Thanks to the GTS and Wonder Trade and Facebook and this website, it is quite easy to get the abilities and moves you want on pokemon you need from other people in order to breed those abilities and egg moves onto the pokemon I already have. Honestly, Gamefreak could have released a game that was nothing BUT route 7 and I would have been more than happy with it!

I think I'm at a little more than 360 hours on X. I'm surprised by how much time I've put into this game. I haven't had that much free time, so I guess that goes to show how much of my time I've devoted to Pokemon. I've gotten really into breeding this gen because it's so easy to do, and as a result, my hours have racked up quickly. I have a few hours on a challenge run in Y (maybe 20ish?), and I've been breeding some 5IV eggs on X to send over for a new playthrough of Y.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

At this moment in time I have 211 hours and 20 minutes in my X version, although I guarantee at least two thirds of that have been due to me discovering the GTS and Wonder Trade, which for me has more than made up for the lack of post-game :) It kind of IS the post-game to me in a way actually haha, especially cause the further you progress the more Pokémon are available to you for trading purposes :)

 

[Megan]

Somewhere beyond 530 hours, I think. If I hadn't taken a break for half a year, I'd probably maxed out the timer in the game.

 

[Sceptile90]

I have logged 560:10 hours into the game!

 

[DraconianWing]

Currently at 190-something hours. I wouldn't have played the game for this long if it weren't for the Destiny Knot and the great online features :)

Wow. Did you manage to get many Shinies from breeding?

 

[Aether★]

Almost full box, most of those Shinies were repetitive like Eevee or Fennekin.

 

[Laylaw]

I've spent 200+ hours, it's about as many hours as I've played Skyrim. So I was pretty surprised.

 

[babaGAReeb]

0 hours

havent even played it

 

[Vinny Vidi Vici]

Ever since pokemon bank came out, I keep resetting my save, so I have no idea. My first save reached over just over 200 hours, which I remember at the time worked out to roughly 90 minutes a day. I haven't played quite as much as time has gone on and I don't need to breed as much, so I'd guess at about 350 overall. I know a lot of that time will also just be me leaving the game open, etc. but it's still a huge amount of time. I probably could have learnt to speak another language if I had dedicate all that time to it instead.

 

[Kikaito plush]

I have clocked about 200 hours on my pokemon X.

 

[Hiatus]

In my first run, it was around one-twenty hours or so, if I remember correctly. I've spent a lot of time playing this game when I'd gotten my hands on it, which should hopefully help explain, haha. In my second, it was only eighty, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Chevalierux]

I've got a little over 50 hours. Just started a new game recently and started breeding a ton.
