I got all 718 pokemon in about 200 hours. I have been Shiny Pokemon hunting recently trying to make a shiny only squad. That is taking time. If you are interested in EV training your pokemon, you're best super training them a soon as you catch them. It takes about 45-60 minutes to full train each pokemon via super training.
I haven't the spirit to super-train them to full completion. I have gotten over half with Pidgey, Braixen and one or two others though. I've also been using Pokemon-Amie to get the benefits from there as well.

Funnily enough about shiny pokemon, I've got one already! It's a Gulpin on that route just west of Lumiose (Route 5?). Found it in a Horde encounter. Pretty neat to find one so damn early.

How did you get all 718 pokemon? Did you have to trade loads?
