DS RPGs
Shishio:
I will also vouch for Final Fantasy III.
And even though they're for GBA, FFIV, V, and VI advance make for worthy purchases.
(Well, I passed on IV because I have almost beaten the PS version, but I have V and VI.)
BillAdama:
I never got into Pokemon. Yeah it seems fun, but Magic: The Gathering turned me off to any game where you have to keep spending lots of money in order to keep winning.
Don't know why I forgot about Partners in Time and Contact. Pretty good games.
Every time somebody mentions how great FFVII is I get the urge to list the reasons it's an overrated piece of garbage, but I'm not in the mood for that kind of flamebait right now, so I'll leave it at that.
The Castlevania games are the best games on DS, but if you call them RPGs then just about any platformer is an RPG if you just give it levels and items.
But it's gotten totally stupid to argue what makes an RPG. Some people think that only PC-style RPGs are real RPGs because they're nonlinear and let you make any kind of character you want. Some people think anything with any sort of levels and items is an RPG. They all have good arguments but it doesn't really matter because there's a distinctly different feel to games like Zelda and Castlevania than games like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. Just call the stupid games what you want -- it won't make anybody associate them with a different category of games than they already do.
Call them what you want. The way my mind categorizes them, there are games that are plot intensive and take you through the world and dungeons as the story demands, that tend to be turn based and all about numbers and such, and there are games that are action oriented and all about the gameplay and levels. If that isn't what makes an RPG from a non-RPG, I'll just think of a different word.
Storm Rider:
FFVII isn't garbage, but if it did anything less than cure AIDS, cancer, and Ebola simultaneously it would be overrated.
Spinless:
I just call them either RPGs or Action RPGs. Where Action RPGs are RPG like games without a turn based battle system.
Yah get Castlevania yet?
Oh hey, does anybody when when the europe release for Portrait of Ruin is? What about FF3? Hotel Dusk? Can't find them online anywhere!

You're right. FFVII is a perfectly decent game.
It's just garbage compared to the amazingly brilliant best game of all time version of FFVII people keep talking about. I want to play that version.
