i am already yours ♡
900+ hours in New Leaf, 250+ hours in DQ8 & Pokemon Ruby. I honestly don't know how I spent as long as I did playing Pokemon Ruby but I was 8 years-old & accomplished it, somehow.
No clue. My The Sims / The Sims 2 / The Sims 3 totals must be embarrassing. I could easily get in 5-7 hours a day on those games (more during weekends/school holidays) and I played obsessively for years.
Luckily I can't tell my AC:NL total because I sold my previous 3DS.

Even doing that I still can't get a true overall count (thank frack!) because I used to have multiple copies of the game.

Both Pokemon Y and ACNL are at over 1000 hours at the mo lol. Back when I was young and carefree I used to play an online Lord of the Rings MUD and I dread to think how many total hours I sunk into that over the years ><

That's a toughie. I don't play MMOs, so my highest hours are probably going to come from RPGs and sim games. Multiple playthroughs count?
I have to go off the top of my head as I don't have my 360's save files anymore, and most of my other consoles can't really give much of an estimate, lol.
But I'm going to wager Fallout 3 was my highest count. I know that my main (read: final) game was well over 600 hours. I have OCD, so I have this bad habit of restarting RPGs every time I make a poor decision, whether through dialogue or my skill tree if it can't be respecced... Making it to 600 hours was quite the impressive feat for me, and it took an awful lot of scrapped characters to get there.
Again, my saves are gone along with the console.. but I put several hundred hours into my 360 copy of New Vegas, as well as another 85 (and counting) on Steam.
I've played through Skies of Arcadia: Legends several times, too. I had a similar problem with that one.. I was totally determined to 100% it to get the super special secret ending. I've never gotten it. I've failed somewhere every time I've tried, and it's usually around the 60-hour mark that you can even check on those stats to see if you're going to get it. So there's several hundred more, if not a thousand hours. I've tried for it a lot.
My 3DS tells me I've wasted 211 hours on AC:NL and nearly 300 on Pokemon X. Not nearly as high as I was expecting, haha.
And you can safely assume that I've literally wasted my life playing Sims 3. Like, I can't even guess. A thousand? 1,500? Almost wish it had a timer on it, lol.

How do people manage to spend so much time on one Pokemon game? Although I've put a lot of hours into those games that was over, like ten years. I guess I'm just not the type of person to keep playing after I've beat the main story, if I want to play again I just start a whole new save file

I'm curious about this too. I loved the pokemon games growing up, but as soon as I beat the game I couldn't find any thing worth while doing that would even remotely amount to the time spent people here are reporting. Do you just walk around killing wild pokemon? What am I missing out on here? I'd like to pick up Pokemon X again, but I have absolutely no idea what I'd do.

I know that for a lot of people, it's breeding up a good team and then going forth into competitive battling that eats up a lot of their time. =p
For me, personally, it's about the collecting.
At the very least, I wanted to fill ONE Pokedex in one game. I'm still missing almost 100, but I'm trying to avoid trading when/if I can. If I do trade, it's just for a female baby of the species. I want to evolve/breed them all on my own. <3
I did put in some time toward breeding, but it's been mostly in pursuit of specific shinies -- which I've given up for the time being, might as well get the Shiny Charm first -- or just specific movesets for some Pokes.. Can't have a Luxray going into battle against a ground-type without Ice Fang, and there's no sense pulling him out when he can easily learn Ice Fang.

The only Pokemon game I played extensively was Sapphire. For me, I was trying to catch/evolve every Pokemon I could to fill out the Pokedex. I wasn't into competitive battling then (I'm still not), so for me that's it. I'm a little OCD when it comes to RPGs and games like that. If there's something to fill out......I have to fill it out.

I was surprised as anyone to see I'd gone over the 1000 mark in Pokemon Y, because it's not even my favourite pokemon game in the series. I spent a lot of time battling, filling my Pokedex entirely so I got the oval and shiny charm, breeding for competitive pokemon, breeding for a few shinies, breeding for trades and 'gift' pokemon for friends. I also enjoyed collecting pokemon in special balls and pokemon with dream world abilities. I did ALOT of breeding for trades on GFAQs. I dunno really, the time sort of flew by

Monster Hunter 3 and Monster Hunter Ultimate were played for few hundred hours. I also played Timesplitters II a lot. Goldeneye 64 to. Oh and ofcourse Harvest Moon titles, Fire emblem various titles and Goldeneye. Super Mario Kart also.
