Lol, you're already judging the thing by looks without even playing it.

You want a more modern handheld and that's totally fine, however, PSP has some great games that are worth owning the console for.

Loading screens? Yes, sometimes they do take a little bit. Some games do allow installation in order to perform better though, not unlike the Xbox 360.

Yes you can play it while plugged in, but as any other device, you're better off leaving it to charge before using it.

PSP GO comes with an internal flash memory to store your save files and multimedia. The memory cards used with older models are not very expensive either.

The analog stick does feel different from the 3DS', but if that's enough to stop you from playing some awesome games. Reconsider gaming, it may not be for you. ITS JUST AN ANALOG STICK.

Is the analog stick good though? This is a serious question. Everytime I look at it, it just looks like it would be painful to use. I guess I'll just have to try one out for an extended time at a used game store. 

well 80 million of them sold and there have been very few fatalities because of the analog stick among those gamers. The stick is what it is, it's flat so that the system can be portable but for the games which use it there's no real issue with the thing, it's obviously different to a regular one in a console pad or in the newer handhelds like the Switch but it's perfectly functional. I made a post above as well when it comes to psp games those are now all playable on a modified psvita, just food for thought if you are tech savvy and don't mind having a dig about for game image files rather than going to second hand stores for them.
