iPod classics don't need to be added to your account. You use iTunes, or Finder in macOS Catalina or Big Sur, to add media content to them. Apple dropped support for iPod clickwheel games several years ago, first removing them from the iTunes Store, and then with iTunes 12.7 removing the features for managing them in the iTunes library and transferring to or from a device. If you've actually got an iPod touch then you can obtain apps for that through the App Store app on the device.
