button is an exact motion which can be performed very quickly, almost
like a variation on touch typing. If you have ever had to sign one of
those credit card screens at a checkout counter, you know how much of a
pain using a stylus on a screen can be.

Oh, yeah? Well, I hope it will require use of the stylus EXCLUSIVELY.
Let's not stop with simple point-and-click menus. Let's move the
character with the stylus, too. In fact, why don't we hand-write all
commands and names? How's that fit ya, fancy pants?

Joking aside, I imagine that the stylus would be used primarily for
minigames such as the Berry Blender/Crusher and the Game Corner, and
maybe a couple others they'll throw in just to make sure the stylus
isn't over-neglected. Also, considering the graphical power of the DS,
I'm hoping for 3D characters like in Pokemon Colosseum or at least Stadium.

You know on Pokemon games I really don't much care since they are turn
based...I just want one for DS!
