Is this even the most financially sound decision? Sure, they will sell more Pokémons, but this would be a pretty good way to push 3ds sales around the world, and definitely launch the 3ds as the new console to have. Seems to me like this was a bad move by Nintendo.

Ever since I found out you could assign favorites to numbers, my complaints with the UI almost vanished. Sure, it still kind of sucks, but I only have to use it to manage my inventory and assign new favorites, which is nothing compared to changing spells and weapons 3-4 times in a fight (because I keep switching between bow and 1handed + spell and 2 handed restoration spells).

Now I do all that with numbers, and it's oh-so-smooth.
