Do my fingers touch my screen? Never, have you seen how the screen turns out if you use anything but the stylus? and you can't just get a new bottoms screen, you have to buy the whole system again. i alredy have streak marks from playing 'pokemon trozei' too much XD

I only use my fingers sometimes. Like when I don"t have my stylus.....But now my touch screen has fingerprints all over it and it"s hard for me to see the game.....-_-

Most of the time I use the stylus, but occasionally I will use my finger or a fingernail. I didnīt know you could harm the screen If you did.

When playing Pokemon I'll use my thumbs instead of the stylus (except for poffin making) Other than that I usually use the stylus because I probably need to >.>

Well, I lost my original stylus and the extra ones.. so I usually just use my fingers. Fingernails are also used for precision, but if both fail I use my graphic tablet pen.. which I probably shouldn't use :x If I can't find the graphic tablet pen, then I use a skewer or the end of a fine paintbrush or whatever other pointy object I can find :(

I typically just use my finger but with games like Fire Emblem:DS those squares were just to tiny lol you needed a stylus or a pencil or something.

Hahaha yeah. I hate using the stylus, unless it's for a game that needs specific direction, I guess. But I nearly always use my fingers on the touch screen. I don't see a reason to even use the stylus!! It's mostly just a hastle. And what I really don't understand is why colored styluses are even sold separately! That's such a waste of money. T__T

i normally prefer my stylus because i hate having to push the touch screen and leave behind a messy stain of skin cells after a "touch-intensive" game

Usually no, but if I will if I need to tap something and the stylus is 'busy' (like in that drumming game).

I use my fingers sometimes, when it's not even worth it to pull out the stylus, touch this and that, and put it back. But I'd rather use my nails instead. That way it wont mess up where I want it to touch.

i prefer using the stylus because your screen will e blurry when your fingerprints are there.

Only when the game doesn't use a lot of touch features. (e.g. Pokemon DP) Otherwise, I'd use the stylus, I'm really OC about the cleanliness of my screen. >_>

I use my finger mainly because I lost my stylus. I've found that some games are tougher to control with the finger while others are easier.
