Note: My long list above is just a suggestion of games I liked and I think are worth looking up (along with some others mentioned in prior posts, such as Advance Wars, DQ IV+V, Scribblenauts, Chrono Trigger DS...)

No offense to the guy who created VGChartz' own stickied DS recommendation thread, but this one is probably the best (and best looking) recommendation thread ever created: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=222049

Man, that thread had a ton of stuff.  I even saw some games i nthere I forgot about like Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story and Game Center CX 2 (Retro Game Challenge sequel we'll never be getting outside of Japan).  I need to get those games...

I got my DS mainly for Lufia Estpolis, since Lufia 2 is my favourite game of all time . How is Dragon Quest Monster: Joker gameplay? Is it like the GBC DWM games?  

Actually, a lot of people, at least outside of Japan, were turned off by the fact that Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker didn't play like the older Dragon Quest Monster games.  However, I still really liked it and I thought they had a lot of nice innovations for the series.  But they're making a sequel for Joker, and its looking a lot closer to the style and gameplay of the older games.
