I sorta got used to it. Sometimes I keep pressing Y to run instead of B. Been playing New Super Mario Bros for quite some time.

What about you?

Lol, I'm still getting used to being able to run without pressing B. I've been confused about where to place my right thumb, lmao! It now rests comfortably on the A button, but it took some adjustment. And I still sometimes hit X to open the menu. *facepalm*

I love the new controls, and I love the Menus and such, You know you can still press "X" to "Control" the menus with the D pad. I almost never actually use the touch screen.

Yeah they kinda made it harder to get to it, Although they made it really nice with the fact you can track roaming legendaries with it, and the fact that you can mark routes, Lable them, And even shows where trainers who want to rebattle you are.

I quickly got used to never pressing the B button for the Running Shoes, but I'm still getting used to the PC and the fact that I don't have to press X to open the menu.

Funny enough, no, I'm not adjusted, at all. XD; I'm still holding B when I have the lock-run option on. And navigating the PC is like a maze to me, hahaha.

I've been playing the game for two days now, and some of the controls still get me. :[ For instance, when needing to access the menu, I still sometimes go to press 'X' and when I go to check out my PokéDex and PC I sometimes get lost on what I have to do. o_o;

It is a relief that I no longer have to keep holding down 'B' to keep my running shows active though. I kept doing it the first few times when playing the game at first, but now it feels easier to not have to do that anymore. XD;

I'll agree with what most of you said about the PC

It has a really bad layout

I'm getting there... I like the more in-depth integration of the touch screen compared to D/P/Pt.
