Inazuma Eleven Go: Chrono Stones is a very enjoyable game, and in my opinion a must for fans of the series. I think it's hard to get (I had to get an import from the UK), but worth it. The plot is zany but there's heaps to do. In fact, I played it for 160 hours. It has the distinctive Level 5 style of gameplay - similar to Fantasy Life, for example, you repeatedly visit parts of the map to take on "enemies" that drop objects according to a probability formula. This doesn't sound exciting on paper, but is very addictive if it's a style you enjoy.

I really enjoyed Shadows of Valentia. Yes, the combat and unit promotion systems are simpler than in recent FE games. However, I recommend just accepting that as part and parcel of the remake, enjoying the nostalgia and appreciating the other features - great story (in my opinion second only to The Sacred Stones), excellent art and sound, and the addition of explorable dungeons that I felt added an extra element to the experience. Another good addition is that there's some genuine post-completion game play, in contrast with Awakening and Fates in which your last save is prior to the Endgame. I haven't got into the DLC yet - the full package looks expensive, but there's quite a variety to pick and choose from if you're reluctant to shell out all at once.
