okay then, let me start off by saying you have lack of gameing knowlege and/or gba experience. so, i would defidently reccomend metroid fusion. you said rpg's weren't your cup of tea, so A Link to the Past is great. some great pick up and play games are Mario Kart and Super Monkey ball jr. kirby is short but sweet, a good pick up and play. but difedently super mario world, if you don't have it for the SNES. but you should really give rpg's a try. golden sun 1+2 are great, as well as pokemon. oh well...
