Not counting Pokémon games, I would say I have over 1000 hours on Minecraft, because it really grabbed me back in 2010 and I've spent most of my last year of elementary school and freshman year of highschool in it. But I probably have even more on Mount & Blade as I played it then and play it often even nowdays.
Then there is The Binding of Isaac and The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, where I have about 350 hours on each.

In over 30 years of gaming... I literally have no freaking idea lol. In terms of genre though, I think these would be #1:

PC Flight Sim: X-Wing
PC RTS: Starcraft(1&2), C&C(1&2 + Generals) honorable mention, particularly its N64 port
PC Turn-Based Strategy: Civilization(2-6)
GBC: Pokemon Yellow
NES: TMNT 2 <- I played that religiously....
SNES: Super Mario World, honorable mention to Operation Europe and PTO(1&2) or two strategy games I played a lot
N64: Ocarina of Time, honorable mention to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron and Smash Brothers
PS2: Star Wars Battlefront(1&2)
PS3: Madden 2011

Oof I have no idea since I have several games that are all pretty close hours wise. If I had to guess, probably Pokémon Conquest or Omega Ruby, though Ultra Sun is up there too just from all the hours spent shiny hunting.

I'd love to know just how many hours I've played the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald generations collectively, but I'm sure it doesn't beat my all-time record of 3331 hours in Team Fortress 2. "Obsession" is putting it lightly... Ah, the old days.

Hmm... potentially Roller Coaster Tycoon or Age of Empires II, back in the day. But Stellaris might catch up with them soon hehe.

... all I did was breed Pokemon back then so... yeah. @_@

I don't even remember what it was for! I just know that after I beat the game, I did nothing but breed Pokemon for some odd reason (probably for Battle Tower).

And then there's participating in Battle Tower itself which took a while cause I was addicted to that.

The good ol' days when I had all the time in the world to sink into Pokemon games.

Civilization V is up there with 1838 hours played. I've spent a lot of time on Minecraft as well, but I can't say how many hours exactly. *shrug*

After that, I got Rocket League at a total of 1173 hours, Skyrim at 1087 hours, Arma 2 at 973, then Arma 3 at 935. :)

Outside of Pokemon? Stardew Valley, 221 hours, & here's to 221 more!
That said my last run of White 2 had 248 hours, so collectively I'm going to say it's definitely the Pokemon series as a whole.

It's either going to be Morrowind or Rome: Total War. Thankfully I don't know the exact number of hours because it would probably be a little embarrassing. Really should have spent some of that time back in high school studying...

For games that I've been able to track gameplay time on, Animal Crossing New Leaf is far and away my #1 (for reference, I've put in 250+ more hours into it than all gen 5-7 Pokemon games combined).

The only games that might rival it are NHL 11 (I spent 2+ years working on the Platinum PS3 trophy for this game, with easily 1000 hours poured into it), and Sonic 2, which I've been playing on and off for over 20 years, so even though I might only play it for an hour at a time, I've probably put a stupid amount of time into it, especially once I jumped into the speedrun community for it.

I'd have to go with Hyrule Warriors. Between the Wii U version and the Definitive Edition on the Switch, I'd say I have about 400 hours total or so. I'm still not done with the Adventure Mode maps, or Ganon's Fury, or speedrunning the game, so that time is bound to increase.

On Steam, Grand Theft Auto III has the highest playtime (240+ hours I think), probably because I speedrun it. But I think Shadow of the Colossus for my old PS2 is a close bet, seen as I've beaten it 84 times as a kid lol
