My combined play time on Diamond and Pearl would be about 60 HOURS!55 of them are on Diamond.
 
90 hours on my single Diamond cartrage =P

For some reason, things that have been tedious on the other games, such as breeding, EV training, and the Battle Tower, are actually keeping me interested. Add to that the Underground and berry planting, and I'll probably still be playing it a year later.
 
Yeah, I was pretty surprised to note that I already have about 105 hours logged on my Diamond already. I have about 145 hours on Sapphire right now, and I've had that since Sapphire and Ruby first came out.
 
Honestly, I didn't find DP to be very amusing at all.
It just isn't a game made for lazy people.
 
I've logged 144 hours on my Pearl version. It really does absorb time, I think this is the fastest I've logged over 100 hours in any game.
 
I'm on my way to Victory Road right now and logged in about 35 hours so far.

For me, after the initial shock, Pokemon D/P is a bit boring..I'm actually dreading fighting the Elite 4, though I will and complete the National Dex. It's just a bit repetitive even with the new game mechanics. I really enjoy the Underground game though.

The game seems really short as well..There are more cities and the routes between them do seem wider but the storyline is so short. I wish we didn't get to encounter and catch Dialga/Palkia until after you defeat the Elite 4. That'll provide some incentives for lazy people like me to do so. What I don't understand is why can't the storyline continue after you defeat the Elite 4???

The Pokemon games seem to always end after you defeat the Leader of the evil team and release/capture the Legendary they're after... Why can't they plan something else evil afterwards???

Thank goodness for wifi...
 
SUCH A FUN GAME. I've topped 100 hours in my Pearl game. My Diamond is soon to follow *__*

It's definetly gonna lower my grades. Definetly 8D

Wow. The fastest I've logged 100 hours in-game was 100 hours...Sorry lol. If ever a game were to make me take my DS to school, it'll be Diamond (especially because we apparantly have Wi-Fi.)
 
:lol: I meant that the, span from April 22nd, to May 1st is the shortest amount of time it's ever taken me to log 100+ hours. (Nice name by the way.)
 
Yeah I know what ya meant. But when D/P is released here, I'll most likely have 100 logged hours after 100 real-life hours.

Ps: Thanks, have you read the books?
 
There's a lot more stuff to do in D/P after you beat the E4 than in previous games. Especially contributing to this is the fact that some Sinnoh Pokemon aren't even available until you beat the E4 and get the National Dex.
 
I have almost 60 hours logged after 3 weeks and I haven't beaten the E4 yet (Or Volkner because I CAN'T GET TO HIM). I've had LG for over a year and I have 52 hours.
 
Most of my hours have been Berries.

Those wonderful, wonderful Berries...

Oh, and the slots. Nice to have them so you can actually win for once.
 
Yeah, I noticed that too. I reached 100 hours in less than a month, and that's a first for me. Yet it feels like I haven't been on it all that long.
 
Wow, so I'm not the only one who has alot of time on their game.

My time's 85:04, but of coarse I've spent most of my time training.
 
122:07. *cough* I have left in on occasionally, but that probably only adds up to an hour. And I'm playing now, so it's gonna change for sure.
 
40-50 hours for me to beat the game(Only up to the E4, not the stuff after, which I have not completed). It wouldve been longer if I remembered about Mira in Wayward cave and actually trained my Pokemon to fight the E4, instead I fought them with my strongest Pokemon 9 levels weaker than Garchomp(and it was an Infernape) the rest below 55, and 1 at 45, another at 18.

As for me, Forums seem to take up more of my time than the games actually do.
 
Wow. I am so amazed at everyone's time on their games. I have the shortest game time than probably a lot of other people here. In Diamond, I've played about 24 hours and my Pearl, I believe, has about 20 hours. That's doesn't mean that I don't find either games absorbing. I practically have to force myself to stop because I'm tired or too hungry. Besides that, if I play any video game for more than two hours, then I start feeling like I'm getting a headache. Even though both games have made me go over that time limit more than once.

I also have to wait until after the school year is over before I can really play either games again. My finals are coming up, along with my high school graduation. Even though the chance of playing both games right now is so in my mind, I don't want to risk on doing as well on my finals. Besides, I personally like taking things slower than most people, probably, but that's more of a personal trait for me. Anyway, both games are highly absorbing.
