The size of a game range from as small as 3 mb (those brain
games, mahjong) to over 100mb (san go ku shi tai sen, san go 11,
pokemon pearl, winning 11)
For me, I have about 19 games in my 1gb sd card. But I find that
its not really enough for me, as i like to swtich games to play, so
if you can spare the $20 plus, get the 2gb with r4 package.
And if you are sharing your ds with your family, getting a high cap
sd card is good, as you can create the same game folder as many
time as you like. For example, you and your bro/sis wanted to play
pokemon pearl, but pearl can only allow 1 save file. So you create
2 pearl folder and name it differently.
