i'm a little deceive, o_o we don't controle the character, we just touch them to bully them, that's all you can do >_<
During the trains you can't control the characters. However, if you touch them something happens. I think it makes them more concentrate, but I really don't know.
During the games, you can play with the stylus + d-pad or with the d-pad+buttons.
I prefer the second option because if you play with the stylus you just press A or B in the screen...
So far, I like it. I0ve played 5 or 6 games but lost all of them 3-0
However, I'm starting to win some points and already got two 40-15 (but lost XD ).
This is a game that needs some time to get used to but I think it's worth. An online mode would be awesome :'(

About the training, you can change the exercise (which will level up other attributes) in the 5th option.
If you look to my picture in the previous post there's a option that says "More Status (order the players)". This option is only available in the "match" days. Here you can decide which players will play doubles (the first two).
However, in the other days you can change the training in this menu. A translation would be pretty useful since you don't know which skills you're developing and which ones need more training.
