The thread will sink by itself. The mods here don't generally go locking every resolved issue.

I've always been curious though, what is the purpose of a soft reset? Is it somehow helpful in searching for shinies? How does that work? Or is it just if you accidentally faint a static legendary or something? In that case, is it really too much more work to flick the power switch twice?

It's just a faster way to turn your game on and off, And i'd suggest not soft reseting on the ds since it's much harder to do then on the sp witch is easier to soft reset.

by turning off the switch you waste the internal battery of your game. and when it is all gone you cannot save or- not sure about this one- not be able to play at all.

I'm not sure whether it affects the game battery or not. It certainly affects the system, though. Think of it as turning a lightswitch off and back on: the bulb's life gets shot more that way than being left on (depending on how long you'd leave it on for).

It can also be used on legendaries and the like while shiny hunting and in case you accidentally knock them out. Same with any other "touchy" point in the game, really (personally I do it with Gym Leaders my first time against them, since I normally don't spend very much of my cash, and would prefer not to lose it).
