L=A Removed Like/Dislike
 
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 >_<)

Sydian March 16th, 2011 3:19 PM

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. :/

Maelstromk March 16th, 2011 3:21 PM

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)

Eurydice March 16th, 2011 3:22 PM

i never used it so i didnt even know it was gone :/

Razer302 March 16th, 2011 3:25 PM

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.

Barn March 16th, 2011 3:49 PM

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

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire March 16th, 2011 4:06 PM

I don't think I ever even noticed...well I guess most people probably didn't either or why would they remove it :/ ?

bobandbill March 16th, 2011 5:23 PM

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?

Yusshin March 16th, 2011 5:33 PM

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 >>)

Rawrinism March 16th, 2011 5:42 PM

I just realized that when I played Black. It was pretty useful for multi-tasking.
I even clicked L as A a couple times now but I can live. :D

Oryx March 16th, 2011 5:43 PM

I wish I had known about this sooner.

Nugg March 16th, 2011 5:44 PM

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 :(

Weber March 16th, 2011 6:58 PM

im very mad that its gone, and the fact you cant tap on the screen, now i have to hold it with both hands to get anything accomplished now.

and ive been using the l=a since sapphire.

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....

Saryka March 16th, 2011 8:18 PM

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.

CoffeeWolf March 16th, 2011 8:24 PM

I never used it either ^^; Had no idea it existed tbh... and I've played Pokemon games for 1000s of hours :|
Sounds convenient though

PokéSwimmer March 16th, 2011 8:38 PM

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...

Legendary Silke March 16th, 2011 9:26 PM

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.)

PlatinumDude March 17th, 2011 1:42 AM

I didn't use the L button as the A button during my past gaming days, so I'm indifferent to this change.

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

vaporeon7 March 17th, 2011 2:15 AM

It's not that big of a deal for me. I never used that function anyway. So I don't care much at all.

Tsundera March 17th, 2011 2:36 AM

I didn't even realise there was such a feature. In hindsight, though, I would have probably used it a lot if I knew about it; it would have come in handy so much :<

Arma March 17th, 2011 2:38 AM

I used the L=A option quite often, it was really handy in cases you'd need your right hand for something else. It is quite irritating to see it's gone.

BigIce17 March 17th, 2011 4:04 AM

Aw, yeah I didnt like the fact that they removed this either. ;(
