I searched through the suggestions and didn't see something about this, so I figured I'd ask. I may have been phrasing my search wrong, though.

So, clicklists. I love spending long periods of time clicking, and sometimes it works fine and I have no issues. However, sometimes I'll click the button to interact with a Pokemon or egg and the button won't respond. I'll have to wiggle my mouse around, right click the button and then left click again, or even refresh the page after a few chain reactions. So maybe a little work on the html on the button or a check on whatever's making the button not completely load/not respond or whatever it is it's doing.

In addition, I really like the "click 'n' to go to the next Pokemon" function, and I was wondering if there was any way this could be carried over to the interaction page. Maybe the option to hit "I" on the keyboard to interact (would eliminate above problem I think). Or even "H" or "W" for heat or warm on eggs, and "T" to train and "B" for berry. This way it'd be a bit less likely for click software to be used for cheating. I mean, it's great to keep spreading the love but I don't think you guys want cheating devices.

By cheating device, by the way, I mean clicker software. I don't know if people still use those?

I don't know, seeing as I have a working mouse, and a very efficient way of clicking. However, I am not one that has not interacted without a working mouse, so I wouldn't use this. Therefore, neutral.

This would be cool, however no support. This would make interacting so easy, that it wouldn't be a challenge anymore. Everyone would have Millions of Dollars by just pressing N and I for a few hours. Peoples Pokemon would all be in the thousands because it's so easy. It just makes the site too easy and would make everything all messed up.

To counteract your statement Beast, about clicking N and I the whole time. I use a laptop, so all I do really is click the left click button on the little touchpad and N the whole time when I click. And I assume that many Laptop Users do that also. So I don't really see it as easier, because even with a mouse, you could hover the icon over the "Interact/Warm" button, and click N. (Not trying to be mean either, just letting you know. Lol)

Overall, no support. You don't really need to cause more coding to go into the system that could make it even harder. Plus, how many users would actually remember what button is what, and it seems it would take up more time than it would to just click it with a mouse.

I don't support as well, since if you don't have a working mouse, you can just enable mouse keys. (That's what I do when I don't have my tablet on hand, lol.)

I click with a tablet and it works well for me. But if you removed the ability to click, like your suggestion implies, then I would personally get hindered. The reason for this is I do most of my interacting at night after everyone goes to bed (due to the bandwidth usage that it takes up when I click) And when it's pitch black in the room except for the monitor (Behind my laptop), I make a lot of typos as it is.

Just hitting N is a challenge at this time, so about half the time I don't press N when I interact at that time of night. Now, if you span this to 2 buttons or 3 buttons, it'd make clicking almost impossible for me.

I also don't support it because my wrists hurt often enough as it is without having to toggle between two keys constantly. (Using the tablet, it's all in the fingers with as little movement as possible, lol)

So, while this may be useful for you, it would greatly reduce the productivity of my PH life. And it would lessen my personal clicking experience.

Again, if you do not have a working mouse, use the mouse keys. [Go to your control panel, Ease of Access, Change how your mouse works, Check Turn on Mouse Keys, click OK. At least this is the process for me]

Thanks for all the insight, guys. I didn't think about how a lot of things would work if this happened, and I was mostly thinking about the button issue when the button thing popped into my head. To address the completely changing the system thing though, I was thinking it'd be an optional thing. Like how you can click the 'Next' link or you could click the 'N' button. Since we already have that in place for the Next page.

Clicklists were completely reworked, so this suggestion is obsolete.
