Pokémon Sword and Shield have been out for over 2 weeks now and as of this post I've clocked in over 80 hours of gameplay as I just can't put the game down. So how many hours have you put into the game so far?

I only have about 145 ingame hours so far. I have been playing a lot, but I could have bene playing even more.

78. I kinda quit playing as much after I beat the story and finished the Pokedex.

Around 72. Had it not been for school and work that number would be much higher. =P

I'm around 96 hours because there's so much stuff to do I keep getting side tracked. I'll spend some time raiding between hatching eggs, or pop off at the battle tower, in between shiny hunting lol. I expect my game time will be in the hundreds very soon.

We are so back Zygardebros
Just got to 83 hours. My usual for a Pokémon game is like ~150 hours after finishing everything as I’m a completionist + do so competitive breeding & battling which I haven’t done yet in Shield

According to my play activity, 90 hours or more right after Fire Emblem for 85 hours and Zelda for 70 hours.

Currently 30+ hours and about to take on the 5th Gym, keep getting sidetracked by the Wild Area.

Returned to Motostoke in Shield clocked 9 hours.

I've got about 95 hours so far. It's the most I've ever gotten in a Pokémon game within two weeks, and the most period since Diamond & Pearl.

Usually around this time I'd have gotten 20 hours at the most, having just beaten the Elite Four. By the time I would be ready to put the game down - around six months to a year - I'd have logged in between 45 to 70 hours.

I can definitely see myself putting in another 90 hours at least. I enjoy exploring the region and the Wild Area, I like Max Raid Battles despite not caring much for Dynamaxing, I like the post-game tournaments, and I'm actually really getting into the Battle Tower. This is the most fun I've had with a Pokémon game in a very long time.

Started Monday last week with a full week-off from work, now at 65 hours in seven days. I doubt I spent that much time to any other mainline series in the first week of purchase.

yah Eevee Rocks !
Over 70 mostly been in the wild area and got the 8th badge. Just like taking my time catching Pokemon this time around and I quite enjoy the raids.
I don’t think I invested as quite as much time in Pokemon Sun.
The last games I probably spent the most time in comparison to Shield would be Black 2,SoulSilver,Ruby and Crystal.

I did not travel for the holidays this year so right now I'm at 158 hours and 14 minutes. I have found 2 shinies on accident and masterball rank in singles and doubles at the battle tower. My synchronize and ditto nature army is mostly done including 0 speed and 0 attack dittos and a decent foreign ditto except missing the important 5/6 IV ditto but I can get that through pokemon home later if needed. Finished pokedex I think on saturday? not sure what my hours were at then. probably closer to 140 at the time.

I've got boxes of raid pokemon and a handful with HA. and a few with G-Max.

not really sure where I want to go from here. I'd like to compete online and get a masterball ribbon on some pokemon but I'm nervous and honestly not super experiences at wi-fi ranked. would hate to breed/hypertrain a team and it's complete garbage lmao xD.

I'm now at 104 hours as of this post TBH I really thought Fire Emblem Three Houses was going to be my game of the year but I believe Pokémon Sword/Shield has officially dethroned it for me.
