Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness has not had a re-release since its debut on the Nintendo GameCube. Nintendo nor Gamefreak have used Genius Sonority to create more 3D Pokemon RPG spin-offs. This game and its predecessor Pokemon Colosseum made darker and interesting stories that the main series games never did. It also creates an interesting challenge, having the player get used to double battles as this game's fighting mechanic. While the Pokemon available in this game is small, making a new game of this style could bring new life to the franchise that it desperately needs. Also, the Pokemon animation from 2006 is so much better than modern Pokemon like Sword and Shield, or Scarlet and Violet.

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist SoulYu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul is a Yu-Gi-Oh! video game for the Game Boy Advance. It is the international version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5 Expert 1. Gameplay is similar to standard dueling rules, except that the Side Deck allows less than 15 cards, and is more for convenience of getting to cards for your Deck than switching between duels, as CPU duels are single duels rather than matches (with some exceptions in events).
