When I was living in Japan a couple years ago I bought retail carts, mostly ones that teach kanji, but also a lot of games. I own about 30 original Japanese titles.
It wasn't until I moved back to California that I learned about flashcarts. Since I started using flashcarts, I have bought 8 games. In fact, playing the ROMs is what influenced me to buy those 8 titles. They're still in the shrink wrap
So in total, I own 38 original DS cartridges.

I only buy DS games to give to other people, these days.
Another Code: Two Memories
Kirby's Canvas Curse
Mario Kart DS
Meteos
Project Rub (x)
Spiderman 2 (x)
Super Mario 64
WarioWare: Touched! (x)
Zoo Keeper (x)
The ones marked with an (x) I got with no case. Bought them for a pretty damn good price, back when they were new releases too. All 4 for about the same cost as a single game. But then, after a little while, I got my Ewin2
And now, a few years later, I've retired my Ewin2(though I might still use it for a few small puzzle games.. more room on the microsd that way), and bought myself a CycloDS Evolution!
