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. :/

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

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 :(

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....

Sounds convenient though

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

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

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.
There used to be a link to an Imageshack picture here. Lmao.
