As someone who went from GBC to original purple GBA and then to DSLite (and I still haven't gone to DSi or 3DS), I don't see what all the fuss is about. I never really had problems with lighting - sure I couldn't play at night, but I had a lighted magnifier for GBC and a light for my GBA. The shift from real batteries to rechargeable on the DS was actually a stopping point for me. I guess it's just how I think, but I want control over my power source. I don't want something where I rely on Nintendo or any one company. On my GBC and GBA, I could use any brand of battery I wanted, change 'em around, etc. Sure, I had one of the recharge packs; but that got used very rarely, only for very long trips. Most of the time, I was on battery power only.
