Pokémon Golden Sun? Oh man, that takes me back. It's actually a weird mix-up—Golden Sun is its own RPG series on the GBA, but if you're imagining a Pokémon game with that classic Golden Sun vibe, you're in for something different. Picture this: you start in some quiet little village, and suddenly you're thrown into this world where elemental magic (they call it "Psynergy") is everything. The sprite work is gorgeous for a GBA game, and the puzzles actually make you think—none of that mindless button-mashing.

First ten minutes? You'll pick between four characters, each tied to an element, and then immediately get hit with this sense that something big's about to go down. The music's got that old-school RPG charm too—kinda makes you wanna hum along while you're pushing boulders with your mind or whatever. It's one of those games that feels bigger than the hardware it's on.

No Pokémon here, but if you like turn-based battles with a side of dungeon-crawling, it's a hidden gem. Just don't blame me when you lose an hour to the first temple.
