What Pokémon game has your highest playtime?

Pokemon Yellow Version is the game I have played the most and I always start a new file on all of my Pokemon games for the walkthrough.
 
Pok?mon Blue 100%.

Over the past 20 years, I?ve played that game to completion at least twice a year. Thousands of hours.
 
Platinum, I think! Around 400 hours on one save and I think I've had a few other saves which brings it up even more. :D I used to play it all the time when I was younger, it was my go to game when I had nothing to do.
 
I have close to 559 hours on my Pokemon Y file. Understandable, since it's the most recent Pokemon game I've bought (yes, has been 5+ years since I've bought a new Pokemon game.) I've probably played Leaf Green the most, though that isn't reflected in play time since I'm constantly restarting and playing through it again.
 
I wish I still had my old Pokemon Diamond copy because I actually hit max playtime (999:99) in that save file.

... Let's just say I had a lot of time on my hands and I mainly used to breed a lot in that game because I was super bored lmao.

Nowadays, I think my longest playtime is SM somewhere around 200 or something hours. I really miss the time where I used to sink a ton more time in a Pokemon game with little effort.
 
Platinum has my highest playtime on my current actual saves, due to not being able to trade and getting every possible Pokemon registered in the dex. I reached 374, which, I think is the most you can get on your own. Playtime at 187h. Darn those fossils in the underground!

I think Gen 1 has my true highest playtime overall, since I've replayed it so many times lol xD.
 
It could be another game, but my 3DS says I have 980 hours in Alpha Sapphire.
 
FireRed and Emerald, i think , because those were my first pokemon games. and then platinum because of shiny hunting.
 
I maxed-out my time on one of my Pearl Version saves, but I've since restarted. Overall, I imagine that I've spent the most time playing either Silver or HeartGold. The game that has the longest playtime on my current save is VC Gold I think, with 263:46.
 
Like, 500 or 600 hours on Pokémon Black - the first Pokémon game that properly belonged to me. Then there are all the files I started and deleted on it... it makes me weep to this very day to think I forfeited my prized Krookodile for at least zero reasons.

From there, most probably Omega Ruby.
 
Platinum and Y. My two favourite games of the whole series. Sun could be catching them up in the next couple of years though.
 
I'm guessing either Diamond or X, possibly X. I believe they both have around 450-500 hours. I did a lot of breeding and trading in those games, so I suspect that inflated my hour count a bunch.

I have a bunch of games in the 300-400 hour range, some in the 100-200 hour range, and then a few under 100 hours. I haven't put very much time into the newer games (I don't think I've exceeded 100 hours on a single game since X; the closest is probably VC Gold so far, around 85 hours, though I had about 260 hours on my old cartridge file for Gold as well).
