This brings back memories, I had 363 hours put in when I was a kid on fire red in Gameboy Advance. It’s crazy how we would play for hours nonstop as a kid on the weekends. Loved the video!

[@ThePfeif25]

I dumped so many hours as a kid, but looking back, it’s like I made no progress. Probably because I never stayed focused on a single task.

[@MarkyNomad]

They banned gameboys at my school because kids would sit next to each other and spread lice so we started hiding places playing. I remember digging a snow cave big enough for us to enter, but too tiny for teacher to get in and we would sit there for hours and play.

ooh, ok so I've got almost 3000 hours in Pokemon Stadium on N64. When my brother and I first got it for Christmas, my brother already had a full team from Blue that he imported and Kicked. My. Ass. my poor little 6 year old self was not ready to get my ass beat that hard. So I spent every single day after school, every weekend, every second I could I spent playing and learning type advantages, team builds, practicing, and finally... he went off to college and I never got to fully play Red to import my own team in time. We still play when he comes home for holidays (I'm 26 now, and he's almost 35).

I hit 999 in diamond. Back in the day I played against people on the online forums for 4-5 hours after school and grinded hard to get diff pokemon fully ev trained etc. Think I have 4-5 boxes full of competitive pokemon on that save and can't even fathom how many online battles I had. Crazy that I practically dedicated my life to that, and haven't accessed that save in probably 13 years. As heavily criticised it was, playing brilliant diamond last year made me almost emotional because I felt like a kid again, a nice portal back to simpler, less stressful times.

For me was the original Blue version in the original Gameboy back in the late 90's here in Mexico. Since I was kid who was not able to read English, it was hard to complete things and was hard to complete the Pokedex because not everyone had a cable to transfer the Pokémon from the Red Version or the evolve Graveler and Machoke. I still have the cartridge with the all 150 pokemon, in those days was pretty much impossible to get Mew.

I had pokemon sapphire on an emulator when I was about 7, and I probably put over 300 hours. But I never could beat the league, and before I did, my tablet broke. I had a super fun time and a bunch of silly memories playing with my sister who had and still has pokemon ruby emulator on her tablet. I few stories, our starters were WAYYYYY overleved and everyone else in our parties being levels 40-16 (16 was my hm slave tropious and skarmory for my sister) we traded version exclusives to each other, I lent her Kyogre because I saved after killing Groudon for her. Alas, Kyogre is on my broken tablet. I let he keep my lileep, and think goodness I did because it had POKERUS! but it was dead pokerus. But I gave her a Pokemon with ACTIVE POKERUS! then my sister found a shiny when we were playing hers more recently, and we have a pokerused shiny. Keep in mind I got the pokerused pokemon when I was 7. I didn't notice from what I can remember. We battles echother with our overleved starters. My sister won 9-0 because she started with mudkip and I torchic. We also did secret bases together, and if you didn't know, in a freinds secret base, an npc with their name and exact team will be there. I named myself may because I didn't want people to know my real name. I WAS SEVEN OK?! my team was Blaziken, delcatty, ludicolo, Kyogre, tropious, and one more I can't remember. In my mode, I didn't know you can breed Pokemon, so imagine my surprise when I left a delcatty and a waimer in a daycare. I miss those good old days.

Original pokemon blue was my game as a kid. Spent an entire week having a friend reset his game over and ovee again to trade an insane amount of starters. We used those to trade for almoat any pokemon we wanted, lunch money, toys, homework assignments basically whatever we wanted when the school year started. Great times

I remember putting over 100 hours on my original LeafGreen save file as a kid, simply because I couldn't beat the Elite Four when my only adequately leveled Pokemon was my Venusaur. I remember I essentially put myself in exile for years by grinding my entire team until the high 80s (my Venusaur was 90 by that point) while on the Sevii Islands. My original goal was to get my entire team to a point around that. My Venusaur at Level 90, Zapdos at 89, Pidgeot at 88, Pikachu at 87, Lapras at 86, and Flareon at 85. I never got Flareon that high though, as it was still in the 60s in my first Elite Four run.
