You don't misremember, the two GBA titles are tough! I loved them. I bought my GBA when I had to go away for a three week law enforcement class and I was missing my PS1. Golden Sun was one of the first games I bought and I was hooked. I searched and searched and finally found a copy of the sequel. The cool thing about the sequel is that you can import the save data from the first game and continue playing with those characters, or you can play with the new characters. If I recall, if you import your data, you continue Isaac's story, and if you don't, you play Felix's story. I also liked Dark Dawn, which was much easier and shorter than the two GBA games.
