Role-Playing Games on GBA

Pokemon Emerald

Honestly in my personal opinion the best Pokemon emerald game ever created for the GBA and that explains the first spot. It combines the goodness of both Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire and that is saying something.

You are the champ and eventually take on the world of pokemon and train them to become the actual champion. Pokemon Emerald adds a lot of new pokemon to the scene which are not available in the other versions of the pokemon gaming series.

Pokemon Sapphire

pokemon sapphire

The original generation 3 game for the GBA pokemon series. It is a rather diluted version of the Pokemon Emerald. The enemy team in each version keeps varying and so does the final pokemon. The Pokemon ruby has the same plotlines and pokemons and both of these versions can be played interconnectively.

Pokemon Fire Red

pokemon-firered-If you are a fan of the first generation pokemon and of the Kanto region, this is the game that you are looking for. It has amazing graphics and a deeply profound storyline from the kanto region for you.

You can enjoy the first generation pokemons in explicit graphics in this version and later when you are done with the storyline (main) you can easily trade them in for the 3rd generation ones.

Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls

One of the most popular role playing game Final fantasy I & II with instant connection and attraction to anyone who as much as indulges in watching someone else play this game.
