How many hours of play to beat Pokemon Diamond?

Question

Getting pokemon diamond soon and want to complete (as in beat the e4 etc) as quickly as possible - how many hours of play does it take?

Also how many hours of play does it take to get the national dex?

Answer 1

It took me about 40 hours of game play but in the middle of it (20 hours of game play) I stop playing and started trading,breeding, and catching Pokemon so I wasted time.

Answer 2

Answer 3

While I highly doubt that anyone can beat it twice in 2 hours without cheating, it is beatable in roughly a normal week or so.  Considering you play like...4-5hoursish a day.  It took me a bit longer because I explored, EV trained, etc etc.  To get the National Dex, though, beating the game once and returning will normally net you the Dex, because all you have to do after beating it to get the National Dex is to talk to some old person in the city with the cave of Dialga and Palkia.  I believe they are either in the cave or on the top floor of one of the buildings...

If this doesn't get you the Dex find out which ones your missing and head to where they are.  All you have to do is see them and you can get your Dex full in order to get the National Dex.  I took me about 30min after beating the game to do it, because I was missing one poke'mon that appeared on Battle Island.  So if I had to give an hour estimate... I would have to say roughly 10-15 hours depending on the pace you take to beat it.
