Alas poor Yorick!
This is an offshoot of Mekkah's competitive design thread to speak about some of the other really awful user interface choices in the Pokemon games.
First this is required reading: http://me.veekun.com/blog/2013/10/17/xy-ui-nitpicks/
Some of my biggest peeves right now are how horrible the box interface is on both XY and Pokemon Bank. I don't even know why the computer has Withdraw/Deposit when all you need is right in move. It's also amazing how much faster the XY computer is compared to past games, and I still think it could be improved by a mile. Currently in Bank nothing can be touched with the stylus. Bank has a lot of things wrong with it such as transfer being a separate app, and the fact I can only transfer one box at a time. This might be a technical limitation but it's still tedious as hell. The fact that the Pokemon Bank gift has to be collected each time means I've really stopped caring about however few points I get because once again it's really tedious.
My proposed changes would of course to be allow more touch screen, and keep the interfaces relatively the same for the XY computer and Bank.
What other awful user interfaces can you think of?
