The following is a list of Nintendo DS games that either never or very rarely use the touch screen, making them particularly Pocket 2 friendly. All credit for the original lists from which this was compiled goes to /u/rhinofinger and /u/deleted (gone, but not forgotten).
Some games on this list may require limited touch interaction using RP2's mouse mode for certain events, but none will regularly require the touch-screen for their main game-play.
