    Although, this is a very minor thing about the game, I ended up really disliking the fact that they removed it (mostly because I never realised how much I used it until it was gone >_<)

    OMG. I was sooo pissed that it was removed. I usually multitask when I play Pokemon games, and it's SUCH a pain not to be able to click L and have it function as the A button. :/

    sorry the poll should read "Do you dislike the fact that they removed the L=A Function" sorry, terrible wording on my part (so bad I voted in the wrong space lol)

    I used to love this feature for when i was doing 2 things at once. I could use one hand to play and the other to tidy up, dry up, anything i was doing at the time.

    I didn't really use it, so I don't exactly care that it's gone.

    I didn't notice it or use it, but as it's a feature that didn't mean anything bad for those who didn't use it, I'm not really for it being removed if other people did use it - ah well?

    It was in Options, right? Never really paid attention, and never used it.

    I don't think they have a good reason to have removed it either (like many other things >>)

    I never used it but my cousins love it haha.
    I was more annoyed by the fact that I had to hold B to run. Unlike HGSS.
    And my A buttons nearly dead so I also miss the fact that you could just touch A on the screen like in HGSS :(

    Me too, Now that people mention it, I do really miss the auto run function too, I almost never used the touch screen in battles though, I'm just so used to playing with the buttons....

    After reading this thread, I never knew how many people actually used that feature. XD; I thought it was so irrelevant for so long haha. I don't miss it because I never used it. Reading this thread made me understand its uses but I don't think I'd use it anyway.

    L = A was a pretty under-appreciated feature of the game. It was really helpful for multitasking. Hopefully they'll bring it back in future installments...

    Hmm... Losing the L=A feature? I understand why, though. It got new functions. I don't mind the loss, as it now serves new purposes, such as faster item list scrolling, box switches, move info shortcuts, and the like. (The poll options are confusing.)

    yes I know, I'm sorry about that (I was muti tasking a bit to much when I was making the thread) The question should read as "Do you dislike L=A being removed?" or something simular
