The World Ends With You is the only good RPG on the DS that's not a port, actually.

That may be your opinion, but I just want to show that its not a popular one.

I'm going to leave out all of the remakes because that is what I think you mean when you said port. To me any handheld game that gets a 70% average or above could be considered "good". Here are all of them. Now take out FFIII, and FFIV, and you still have 21 games.  This is discounting many rpgs that were released in Japan, that are have yet to be released in the U.S. Also there are many future games that look to be excellent.
