For older games, I absolutely loved Pokemon red/blue/yellow.
For newer games, Dissidia:Final Fantasy for PSP rocks my life.

Totally missed the Pokemon craze. I tried to get into it with Pearl but it was just too daunting a game for me to deal with at the time. Right now I'm contemplating a Dragon Quest 5 purchase, but I don't know if I'm ready for that commitment either.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.
That was very fun, I liked the Gust Jar and the swamp level.

Not a Game Boy Game (technically, it's a Game Boy Color game, but it could be played on a Game Boy.), but my favorite has to be Pokemon Silver. Yes, I know how geeky that sounds, but I was 10 when I got the damn thing, and when you're 10, Pokemon's the shit. And that's the first game that I ever got that was mine and mine alone. Up until that point, I only really played some of my brother's N64 games. Yeah, I never caught Lugia (almost did once, but I didn't save before I went against it.) but that's the game that really got me into gaming.
It'd be interesting, and possibly nice if Nintendo decides to re-release Gold/Silver/Crystal, much like they did for Red/Blue/Yellow (remember FireRed and LeafGreen?).

Beat was a great character. He really improved the game, and I just wouldn't been as attached to the game without him.Onyx Oblivion said:
The game was done perfectly. Nothing was wrong with it.. it was literally a MASTERPIECE.
You actually could put up with the way he talks? Sure, he's a caring guy...But everytime he says stuff like "I'm-a break you, yo!" or whatever...I just wish he would die.Leaf Runner said:
You have to beat the entire game to see what I mean.Onyx Oblivion said:
Anyways, he really just goes with the theme of the game, how everybody has their own point of view and everything.
Well, I'm on Week 3, day 2 or 3. So, I'll see soon...I still liked Joshua as my battle partner the most.Leaf Runner said:
Poke'mon Crystal Version. I played that game so much during summer break that the only time I stopped was to get new batteries.
Yeah, you'll see what I mean towards the end. The story starts getting really interesting.Onyx Oblivion said:
It already is...I likely won't play it again, though. Even with the New Game + style chapter select thingy. As I have more games to play that are still unfinished.Leaf Runner said:
I greatly enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics A2, the game that finally convinced me to buy a DS. I'm not normally much for story in games (I've ranted repeatedly on these very forums about how little of a crap I give about story), but having played through the first FFTA back on the Game Boy Advance, I really liked the way Ivalice is laid out and designed. The fixes to gameplay that took away the first game's more frustrating elements coupled with a well-paced story and very well-developed characters for a strategy RPG (normally a genre that focuses more on the battles than the stuff that happens between them) made it the perfect portable game---I play a game like Fire Emblem and think "this is a sit down and wrap your brain around it game that belongs on a big console in the living room, not a light game for playing in bed", but with FFTA2 the pace was along the lines of "it's 11 PM, might as well play in bed for an hour or two before going to sleep". Square Enix never lost sight of the fact that they were developing a game for a handheld rather than a living-room console.
Between FFTA2 and Disgaea (which I reviewed for this very site) alone my DS has been worth it. I like what the Japanese do with strategy games.

My favorite portable game... not including PSP or DS games, because I play those at home more then I do on the go, it would have to be "The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap." The reason? Zelda is my favorite series, and Minish Cap was a lot of fun, and really felt like an advancement in the combat (because of the learning moves thing). The puzzles were also clever and interesting.
