I don't bother with the 3D on mine as it feels rather superfluous, and the game seems to last a damn while on my XL. What I will say though is, I generally don't notice the power draining so I'll go from full charge to suddenly the thing flashing red and I'm like 'shiiiiiiiiiiit'.

I tend not to keep the 3D one, but the wireless is usually on (but the actual wifi settings in the game are off) so it could be that.

Its very possible I just lose track of time when playing though

Wow am I the only one who uses the 3D at all times?

No one I knows uses it. I am quite tempted to turn it off too, especially since the framerate doubles with it off, but some of the effects are nice. (like the fossil cave)

Yeah, the cave was awesome. Since the green light comes on when a bit is in 3D I tend to flick it on if something is new, but battles and such I just leave in 2D now.

Wait, what green light is this? I never knew about this!

It's the 3D indicator light. They removed that feature on the XL. It's only on the base model.

Aww that's disappointing. I would like to be able to know which scenes are 3D to turn them on.

I had no idea they took it off for the XL, that's a little disappointing.

The 3D is a cool novelty, but I don't think it really adds enough substance to justify how much it murders my battery.

The battery problem is okay, it's the framerate that gets me. With my 3D currently on the battles lag often. With it off suddenly it's as smooth as butter.

I'm really considering keeping it off but my OCD gets the better of me.

At any rate, this game wasn't really designed with 3D in mind, judging by how sparsely they use it.
