Yeah, a little bit of both. If I'm not really paying attention, I'll just touch the attack and let the battle go on. Nifty.

Uhm, touch screen. 5 seconds less per pokemon in the e4 = 25 =power Pwnage [PP]) seconds less in the battle, 4P+30=130 seconds=2 minutes 10 seconds which means that to do an e4+Champ run when I'm levelling up pokemon (or getting money for the pokemon i actually am EV training or maybe putting exp share and levelling up and already EV'ed poke) takes 2minutes longer. Normally I can do it in about 15-20 minutes, depending on whether I switch pokemon during KO's or not. It's a good technique and touchscreen speeds it up. I've only ever used the traditional buttons when it's asked me to switch, spam B button = ORSM. Yeah, I only use touchscreen because of the speed, it's so addictive that when I go onto emerald I'm tapping on the DS Touchscreen even though it's blank.

I always use the traditional buttons, I don't know why! xD I do use the Touch Screen during some stuff so I go faster, I just don't like keeping the Stylus in my hand while talking to people, so I just use the buttons!^^

I do not recall ever using the buttons. Touch all the way! It makes things a whole lot easier. :D

I use both methods, but I find that just using the stylus and the touch screen is a lot more faster than just using the buttons.

But I can get very lazy sometimes and not even pick the thing up and just use the buttons.

I use the buttons because I hate pulling out the stylus just to battle.

I'm the same way. In emerald as soon as a battle starts, I grab my stylus and just hold it in my hand the whole time even though I don't need it. It's just a reflex now since I always use the stylus in diamond.

Buttons. When you use the touch screen, you have a chance mis-touching. With the buttons, you can never go wrong.
T.T You would have to have some fat fingers to 'mis-touch'. Either that, or you're rushing through things, in which case you have just as equal chance of 'mis-clicking' using the buttons.



I like playing sitting or laying, if at all. Relaxing with stylus in hand, using the touch screen. :P Makes for an enjoyable experience.
