I think it would be cool if you could use which ever one you wanted, like if they implemented both. I personally would use the gamepad because the whole point of gaming was something to relax with, so you could sit down and relax but can also have fun and control the character. It's not something you do instead of exercising outside or with a $700 machine. I believe Nintendo realized this after all the Wii hate, so they made it like you could use both, and even the pro controller if you wanted. That's why I like Nintendo, they made good games and don't really care to have the best of the best graphics, they care about customer satisfaction and having everyone all ages and races love there games. I like Nintendo again. =)
