DS Friend Code System: a different code for every single game and you had to swap them. It was horrible.
Wii Friend Code System: a different code for every game but at least there was only one code for console to console communication. You could use that to share codes if you needed.
3DS Friend Code System: I give you my code. You give me yours. We're set for life. No more painful than exchanging phone numbers. Not bad, really.
Wii U Friend Code System (also the PS3/360 way): Send a friend request to anybody and wait for them to say "yes" or "no". Totally painless.
