The Etrian Odyssey games are definitely up there.
Just because Kyle Hyde is so cute, Hotel Dusk comes in first place...
The Phoenix Wright series comes at a very close second.
Then Trace Memory comes in a close third.
90% of the rest of the DS games super suck...

I haven't played Chrono Trigger on DS, but it's on DS and I'm sure I'd like it.
Of the games I actually have played, I love the Professor Layton series. But having said that, I haven't played a whole lot of DS games.
I've played about halfway through The World Ends With You, that seems pretty cool.
Strange Journey is awesome. Some strange thing is engulfing Antarctica so they send a group to investigate, it turns out to be a demon infested monument to why humans suck. Like the first dungeon is war themed, the second dungeon is a Red Light district, consumerism, a dump, ect.
You go explore these worlds trying to escape from the place. You negotiate with demons to form your party and can fuse them to make stronger demons.
And by choices you're given during the game determines if you're Law (Blue), Neutral (White), or Chaos (Red).
Also if getting out of the Swartzwelt is boring you can always do some side quests.
Like helping some An-something hit on demons
Thank you so much for the incredibly detailed description of this game. It sounds like the game Nocturne for PS2 (which was one of my favorite games by Shin Megami Tensei)Strange Journey is awesome.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike is a very fun little strategy game. It can be very challenging.
The Chrono Trigger and DQ V remakes are simply wonderful on DS. In the bonus dungeon, Dimensional Vortex, it even offers a bit of insight on the events between Trigger and Cross. (SPOILER)Dalton, after getting sucked into the vortex after his attempt to summon Boss Golem, ends up in the dimensional vortex. There, he sees the many different timelines and learns of where Chrono came from. In an act of pure spite, he brings the magic of his time and technology of the future and takes over Porre, turning into a military nation armed with powers no one else possess, and conquers Guardia not for power, but because he hates you.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
One of the funniest games EVER! Great gameplay, and while easy, and simplistic, it's awesome. No SMRPG: SNES, but still, amazing.
If they ported that game to DS... goodness
That's the best idea since Chrono Trigger DS! Although it'd probably piss my friend off since I was bugging him to buy it for his WII so I could play it.
Yes Taq, Strange Journey is called Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. It's the closest SMT game to Nocturne since Nocturne, after all the spinoffs since then.
You said you like Puzzle and Action games, so I'll just focus on a few of those.
Planet Puzzle League should be right up your alley. You've probably played some version of this before (Tetris Attack, Pokemon Puzzle League, etc), but the DS version I think is the best one they've done yet. The stylus control really makes it much more active. Picross 3D also came out in the US just this week, and it is also awesome (though less action focused).
Kirby's Canvas Curse is the game that really sold me on the platform. If you got your DS after 2005 there's a chance you missed out on this, so go back and play it.
I love the Ouendan series (which includes Elite Beat Agents), I love Rhythm Heaven, I love Daigasso! Band Brothers (coming out as Jam with the Band in Europe in 2 weeks!). I imported these from Japan originally, but now (or soon) there would be some version of them all available to play in English. And that was my Rhythm Action section.
You're a budding anime nerd, so if you do want to import a game I'd strongly recommend Jump Ultimate Stars. It takes all of the Shonen Jump manga stars (from Dragonball, Death Note, D.Gray-man, etc) and puts them in a sort of Smash Bros-style fighting game against each other. If you're afraid of importing, then the 2nd Bleach DS fighting game (which is more of a Guilty Gear styled game than JUS) is recommendable. The 3rd Bleach DS game is not a fighting game.
Other action games that I can recommend: Space Invaders Extreme, fantastic remix of the old classic. Bangai-O Spirits for just pure action. You can create your own stages in Bangai-O as well as share them with others in a ghetto-fabulous way.
I mentioned in another thread a while back that I'll make my own comprehensive DS recommendation thread one day. These are some of the games that would be on there.
Hotel Dusk is lovely.
