What Game Boy game do you love that you never hear anyone talk about?

The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it's just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine.

I'm looking for a new game to play, but I'm running out of games to collect!

My favorite is games for original DMG, but you're welcome to include Color it'll advance games too!

Dragon quest monsters (dragon warrior monsters in America)

This game was the bomb, I loved the monster breeding mechanics, you could breed monsters of different types to get entirely new ones.

It looks really fun! I have a copy of the Japanese version. I was surprised to find out it was a Game Boy Color launch title!

I haven't played the first one, but Dragon Quest Monsters II was fantastic.

It has randomly generated worlds to explore, awesome monsters to discover by breeding, and a decent "home farm" mechanic.

Plus the core plot is delightfully bonkers.

(But still somehow more realistic than Pokemon's "dog fighting by children is totally normal here" world.)

Just FYI, there's a 3DS remake that has an English fan translation patch.

This game is the bomb. There are translation patches for the JPN 3DS remakes, but I haven’t played them extensively…
