this is 100% nostalgia talking but I used to really like these 3 Shrek games on GBA. They're kind of sort of puzzle platformers similar to lost Vikings. Most of the GBA I played originally where licensed games.

- Gunstar Super Heroes

- Pocky & Rocky with Becky

- Motocross Maniacs Advance

- Dancing Sword: Senkou

- Advance Guardian Heroes

- Elevator Action Old & New

I would say I have allot of games I like more than Pokemon on the GBA.
Aria of Sorrow
Circle of the Moon
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Mega man Battle network
Metroid Fusion
Tales of Phantasia
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Mega Man Zero 1,2,3,4
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Metal Slug Advance

Honestly if you ask me GBA is like PS2 for hand helds.

I would say more like PS1. The PSP is the PS2 of handhelds.

 

[ShinnAsukaYESTaylorSwiftNO]

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny and Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors

 

[fake-kun]

PEAK

 

[Taukyrie]

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, and Fire Emblem Sacred Stones.

 

[Not_Red]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned these two, some of the more unique games in the system when it comes to Action RPGS. I would put the third game too but only these two got an english localization.

 

[Raggs]

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Klonoa: Empire Of Dreams.

Interesting how this topic implies Pokémon are actual good games to begin with.

Funny snark aside, there's Fire Emblem, the Advance Wars Duology, Superstar Saga, the Metroid games... plenty really.

if you go to any GB/GBA subreddit 90% of the post are about Pokemon. So basically saying "Please no Pokemon in this post" is extremely fair.

Good one, Rageburner. We all know you love Pokemon! ;)

Ah, grand day for it, isn't it? Now listen here, lads and lasses! I've a wee recommendation of some fine Game Boy Advance games for ya. Now, these aren't all the absolute gems the system has to offer, mind you, but they're a grand start, alright? Some real crackin' titles in here. I hope you have a right good time playin' 'em! Sláinte!

 

[RageBurner]

To be fair, I like Pokémon hacks that shake up the formula (Emerald Rogue, The Pit). It is the vanilla experience I'm sick and tired of.

 

[DragonMals]

Rhythm Tengoku and WarioWare: Twisted.

Forgot about this one.

This game has a Dark and Light version, kind alike Ruby and Sapphire.
