By the way, the online system the DS games have been using isn't really all that aweful. It has matchmaking with random players and a skill based matchmaking system. Those are modern expectations out of multiplayer and it does that well enough. It does the job, in those cases. The failing comes in the form of the total inability to add people you randomly encounter to your friends list. All they need to do is simply require the need for the other person to "accept" any friend request and then automatically add the two players involved to each other's lists.
I believe a better ability to add friends to one's friend list is about the only real addition they need to add, but they NEED to add it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
