[quote name='crunchewy']Now you guys have really confused me, but I'll just try again and see what happens....[/QUOTE]
It took me a minute too. Here, let me try...
1) Push (-) button to open menu.
2) Select "Hunters Notes", and press A.
3) Now, hang on to the Classic Controller Pro in your left and and pick up the Wiimote in your right hand (or whatever hand preference you prefer).
4) Hold down the B button on the Wiimote to bring up the cursor.
5) Aim the Wiimote/cursor at your target monster. You can actually do this well out of harms way, FYI.
6) When the target is acquired, then push the A button. You now are "pinching" the monster data with fingers on both A and B buttons of the Wiimote.
7) While keeping B/A depressed, drag the monster data to the bottom right of the screen to the book icon thingy.
8) Now, while keeping B depressed, release the A button. This will register the info to your Monster Book. If you let go of both buttons or just the B button, you will have to repeat from step 4.
Hope this helps!
