[Sword & Shield] What's your playtime so far?

We are about same as you just havent been playing the game much than would want to since it hurts my head a bit
 
165 hours. Beat the story at around 30 hours and then completed the dex at 50ish. Rest has been breeding, raiding, trading and helping others complete their dex. Don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Going to be picking up Sword next week too, so will be playing lots of that too.
 
Maybe it's just that I've been playing this game straight. I dont think I have anywhere near 165 hours but I have beaten both games twice each and completed every post game aspect of the game not including battle tower. I dont know enough about breeding or IV EV training to care about that part and why would that even matter? My level 100 Pokemon can get a one hit KO on a Pokemon with a not very effective hit 8 out of 10 times so now the goal is to make them stronger? For what purpose?
 
When I last saved earlier today the game said I had passed the 41 hour mark. Beat Leon around 30 hours iirc.

For formats where winning requires something other than being 40 levels higher than everything you face. If you're into that anyway. Not everyone is.

Just finished the story at 60h 48m, although I spent a lot of time in the Wild Area, and retraced my steps through Galar a couple of times. Anyway, excellent game and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although it's not over, next step is to complete the dex! :D
 
Sitting at a little over 45 hours story/post story finished, Pokedex is only on 229 tho so still got a lot of grinding to do.
Plus I want to put together a team for online battles so I will be breeding soon.
 
59.5 hrs or so now, as I was getting more dex entries. Looks like I'll be at about 60 when I finally hit that elusive 400 pkmn caught \o/

Seeing 60 and even 50 hours for a nearly full galar dex?! Geez that's pretty fast, I've gotten pretty sidetracked breeding so much. I'm at 99 hours with ~340 or so.

Yes and I'm sure people have completed the dex in less time don't @ me ;P
