Pokémon G Version is one of those classic Game Boy Advance RPGs that still holds up. You start off in your little hometown, pick your first Pokémon (I always go with the fire type—no regrets), and then it's off to battle wild critters and rival trainers. The pixel art has this cozy charm, and the turn-based fights are simple but satisfying once you start stacking up your team.

What I like is how open it feels early on—you can wander into tall grass unprepared and get wrecked by a level 10 Pidgey if you're not careful. And the music? Still slaps. That route theme loops in my head for days.

If you missed this one back in the day, it’s a solid way to kill time on a lazy afternoon.
