Pokemon Shuffle was active during the timeframe I was super big into Pokemon, so I played it regularly for nearly the game's entire lifespan, starting about a month after it came out and dropping it soon after the final update. Me and the buddies were talking about what our most played games were a while ago, and I included Shuffle in my list alongside games that were "potentially being close to 100 hours" because of how much I played it. We eventually all dusted off our 3DS systems to check the activity log for precise hours, and I was jumpscared by the revelation I had lowballed Shuffle's estimated time and my actual playtime was 766 HOURS AND EIGHT MINUTES. This was not only triple the amount of second place, but at the time I'm writing this review, makes it my second most played game of ALL TIME. Horrifying. I dropped this fun fact in another server and the only response I got was someone else casually dropping they had over 900 hours in Shuffle. Do not play Pokemon Shuffle. Not like you can, the 3DS eshop is on the verge of collapse and I have no idea if the mobile port is even available anymore, but still.
