Animal Breeder 3 is one of those weird little Japan-only Game Boy Color RPGs where you raise and breed animals—except it’s way deeper than it sounds. You start off picking a couple of creatures (I went with a wolf and a bird, no regrets), then train them, feed them, and eventually pair them up to hatch new hybrids. The pixel art’s surprisingly charming, and there’s this whole elemental system where certain combos work better than others. Took me a while to figure out fire-types don’t mix well with ice, but hey, live and learn.

It’s got that classic GBC grind, but the breeding mechanics keep it interesting—you’ll spend way too much time trying to hatch the perfect monster. Just don’t expect an English patch anytime soon.
