You could check out the Pokemon AshGrey mod for GBA.
It's a modded version of Pokemon Firered designed to follow the events of the anime episode by episode.

I second the first.Tranquility said:
Such a time sink. Complex monster breeding, coupled with randomized dungeons. Have fun spending 85% of the game at the bottom of a well, at least until the post game. The series never really struck those chords again with me until DQM Joker 2.
Underrated Games, Summon Nite. I loved spears, axes and drills. The dialogue could be quite humorous, too.Moonmover said:
Super Mario Land and all Gameboy Pokemon games seconded. Those were all the ones I ever needed. I also played all the Mario games Super Mario Bros/Super Mario Bros 3/Yoshi's Island/Super Mario World on the Gameboy. No NES or SNES
I agree. The Battle Network games are worth a try. Uhh, I would agree with maybe ignoring 4 and 5, but I found 6 to be tied with 3 for best game in the series.The Lazy Blacksmith said:
Golden Sun, Advance Wars and Fire Emblem are mandatory plays.
And yeah, if you're up for a challenge, definitely take the Mega Man Zero games out for a spin.Random Argument Man said:
I second that Astroboy Omega Factor and Advance Wars are excellent.Dr.Panties said:
My favourite GBA RPG is Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Very pretty, very fun RPG.
Konami's Ninja Cop is an underrated classic.
Zelda: Minish Cap if you like Zelda games.
For the original Game Boy I recommend Wario Land 1. Unlike the other WL games in that you can die, but it was the best platform game on the original Game Boy in my opionion.
For the Game Boy Color I recommend Looney Tunes: Matrian Alert and the sequal Martian Revenge. Great little free-roaming adventure games with RPG elements. You could collect all the different Looney Tunes characters and use their abilities, and the graphics and music were amazing.
I only download Roms and Emulators for games and consoles that are no longer in circulation or being manufactured. If there's no easy way to obtain a game, I'm not bothered by downloading it. Thats why I chose a Gameboy Advance Emulator instead of a DS or something more recent. Just my opinion.Akytalusia said:
In my experience forums even those who have a ban on pirating, mods usually let slip ppl mentioning emulation if it adds something to the discussion. However in your case the thread is basically "What ROMs should I download" and will get you into trouble.Timzilla said:
Best to just not mention ROMs in theads like this, even if you intend to use them along with most others reading this thread.
Since this thread is interesting to me, maybe you could try self moderation and the mods won't lock it.
Ok excluding Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars series and Metroid Fuzion (danm ninjas) I suggest-
Wario Land 4
Phalanx
Maybe Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation (that gam was far too complicated and the tutorial was nowhere near useful at all)
If you want Gameboy games than I just suggest Battle City and Mega Man 2.

I'm going to assume you already know how to look for these, legal or not. But just on GP, try to get them legal when possible.
Super Robot Wars series -- A series of strategy games that, since their inception, has included roughly 90% or more of every mecha anime there is. Gundam, Macross, Gao Gai Gar, Mazinger Z, Gurren Lagann, even Voltron has appeared at least once in the series.
The two/three games that concern the GBA however are the following:
Super Robot Taisen Original Generation 1 and 2: As you probably figured out, the licensing for all those different anime has kept the series from leaving Japan for the most part. Except for these two games and an RPG Gaiden Game for the DS.
You see, for most SRW games, the main character isn't from an anime series at all. It's a brand-new hero and/or heroine in their own custom war machine(s). In 2002, Bandai decided to save a little money, and instead of another round of licenses, made a game featuring all the heroes and heroines of their previous games. It became a hit, and in 2006, they made a sequel.
Also in 2006, Atlus brought both games, released for the Game Boy Advance, over to the US in English.
The third translated SRW game is Endless Frontier Super Robot Wars OG Saga for the DS. It doesn't involve Giant Robots, but the story ties heavily into the Original Generation games for many background elements. The game was made by Monolith Soft, makers of the Xenosaga games and Namco X Capcom, and actually includes characters from both games.
The third GBA game of note is Super Robot Wars J(udgement), which of course is a standard SRW game. The series' featured include Gundam SEED, Mazinkaiser, Martian Successor Nadesico, G Gundam, and Tekkaman Blade. I bring up this particular one because a fan translation of the game has been released.
Other GB/A and DS Super Robot Wars games include: The first Super Robot Wars (GB), Super Robot Wars Advance, Super Robot Wars R, Super Robot Wars D (GBA), Super Robot Wars W, Super Robot Wars K, and Super Robot Wars L. (DS) The DS also has a sequel to Endless Frontier which was not translated, as well as updated rereleases of the SNES game Super Robot Wars Gaiden.
And just as a heads up, Monolith is currently working on Project X Zone, a spiritual successor (if not sequel) to Namco x Capcom and Endless Frontier, which involves characters from both games, as well as at least one of the heroes from Super Robot Wars who appears in the Original Generation games. It's coming out for the 3DS, and includes not only Capcom and Namco Bandai, but Sega as well.
