Best ds games for kids 10+?

Anything Mario is great! Mario Kart, New super Mario Bros just trust me that you will be happy with almost all Mario games. I guess if you like Nintendogs and Cooking Mama games i belive there are game like Sims pets which might be similar to nintendogs also there is babysitting mama and gardening mama which follow the cooking mama franchise. But hey i highly recommend anything Mario. P.S. i hated Pokemon at your age too but now its my FAV haha
