Last games were on 3ds also had waifu games with clothes destruction
Apparently this game is genuinely solid too and turns the series into Custom Robo.
It's sad we can't have any game localized because of the righst being hold by some NFT obsessed asshole
Bullshit, they had 8 years to localize something from Medabots 7 to Unlimited Nova and they got nothing. The truth is the sales for 8 and 9 were low enough in Japan that they didn't bother.
Maybe Santa Monica can make it for PS5 and Metabee has a son and it's over the shoulder with melee combat and there's 'Metabee Vision'.
Medabots Survive
Maybe visual novels truly are the answer to every game series that actually is better as an anime.
Then papu... a medabots game in the ten darkness days would be pretty kino...
Remake the old games.
Customizable fighting game or Pokemon travel format combined with weighted combat and kits like MH.
>Pokemon travel format
>weighted combat and kits
What is this Anon saying
Basic RPG with set objectives and optional battles. Action combat that isn't bullet spam or button mashing. Customization of your Medabot with different parts that adjust various stats within their type's specialty.
>Action combat that isn't bullet spam or button mashing
How do you manage that in a series like this about robots shooting each other?
Mandatory aim for gunners with rate of fire adjusted in terms of damage output. Good mobility and potential environmental components to allow for flanking, dodging, and self-preservation. Overheating, cooldowns, reload, and ammo limits forcing you to be strategic or slug it out when you have no other choice.
I've always wanted a game to utilize the idea of part swapping to be usable in the overworld for puzzles.
I guess that's essentially just Zelda with a robot and RPG battles.
I think the better route to take Medabots if it was an action game is real-time parts swapping.
I imagine having a map and being able to dive through a portion of the map.
I always talk up 9 in these threads, but what a killer battle system. Just translate 9 officially and you're gold.
It's a shame we'll miss out on all sorts of 3DS remasters and ports.
Probs would make another Medarot Dual that isn't like Girls Mission with the current Medarot roster, probs even some from the gacha if possible along with an English language option.

Best idea so far in the thread.
>and can run around on foot through levels
Where exactly would you run to as the human in a battle arena?
In official battles I would assume you could only run around the outside of the ring. But in "street fights" and other places you'd be running aorund to follow the battles as they move around to different areas. Like say your rival bully challenges you in an alley, and you follow your bully as they move through the city battling you along the way. So as the human you're always trying to get to good vantage points to see when the best time to activate big attacks are, and as the medabot your trying to keep up with the enemy medabot and possibly protect your human.
I got it.
You move the human character around to scrounge up makeshift parts and weapons to use in the battle. That rubbish bin lid is a shield and that pipe a canon.
For the story and visuals, call it something like 'Medarize' and have the watch infuse nano whatever into the makeshift object so that it turns into a Gundam looking weapon visually.
Nah, have a crafting minigame where you go through blueprints and designs and craft/create parts by using the scrap you scrounged up.
Maybe the human could use makeshift junk they find as basic weapons to defend themselves if the medabots too far away to protect them. Smack some Rubber Robo goons in the face with a big stick you find.
Do what the other anon said and have a crafting minigame where you can collect junk to make medabot parts or use the junk you find to upgrade parts you already have.
Would openworld work? Or would it be better to just have limited areas you can travel, so more SOUL can be put into the palces you travel and battle in?
They solved this problem in Digimon World
>They solved this problem in Digimon World
>character stands still for the entire battle
>hiroyuki imaishi on art team and storyboarding cutscenes
Which episode did he animate again?
He said he storyboarded the first fight in the first episode where Medabee wakes up, and then went full ham on the ninja episode.
>literal mass produced bipedal tanks walking around with live ammunition that can be sold to kids in convenience stores whom aren't protected in any way from their crossfire or from being attacked by other Medabots that require expensive maintenance when they fight
medabots was always a little TOO retarded for me. Most people can't even take care of their fuckin cars for chissake
This. Medabots is a fucking retarded idea.
I think the point is these robots are meant to be everywhere in various places in society and really only school kids and black market people use them as weapons.
I'm pretty sure this is the point. the school kids didn't ask to make them into weapons, that was forced on them.
So the in-world lore is they DO make combat grade war machines able to be purchased by anyone?
No, the actual combat stuff is off limits for the general public. There are military grade medabots used for warefare.
>No, the actual combat stuff is off limits for the general public
Then what the heck are robattles?
>kids having killer robots is stupid!
But its cool!
I can handle special shota boy having a killer robot. I can even handle two,three or four. Fuck I can handle an entire organization + the special shota squad having killer robutt. But fucking EVERYONE CAN and its treated like its NORMAL and CONTROLLED? nah. That's where I draw the line.
stop asking questions
zoomer genocide
Make it a fighting game, maybe one with a wider stage for ranged strats.
Is Medabots pro second amendment?
yes, if everyone has Medabots, no one fears Medabots
I absolutely despised S2 and how it changed the entire tone and got rid of characters and basically made a hard reset on Metabee and lore
I should rewatch the first season at some point tho
Let Pochincoff redesign the bots.
>Childhood friend tomboy wins
>romantic interest written out of existence
Well duh
>Written out of existence
W-What haha... just a joke
im tempted to import the switch legacy collection just to give myself an excuse to start learning basic japanese
Every single fan does this. The problem is 1 is mediocre and the series only really picks up at 3.
Do it, I'm doing it now. I recommend doing it in conjunction with regular learning rather than going hard on the game only. Also there are a lot of weird puns and the characters talk super casual so some stuff doesnt make sense if you just look it up
At this rate Medabots 3 in English will be out next year, so the argument to learn nip for the classic collection will be, "Do you want to play Medarot Navi?"
I'm playing them to help the learning process really, playing something you're interested in helps a lot
>Do you want to play Medarot Navi
Kinda yeah
For such a small series, making something like Navi was balsy even back then. It's the most illustrious game in the series.
I really do applaud them to doing something different even if it probably didn't work for them in the end. Probably shouldn't have released it in the same year as 5 on the fucking Game Boy
>How do you make Medabots work in 2023?
LBX but good.
Also, use the english dub cast for the anime.
LBX is too slow and mashy.
Medabutts, medabutts! MEDABUTTS!!!
>Mom why is that medabot dancing funny on the street...
Homosexual intercourse with Metabee
I'm considering torrenting this show for research
Is it and the games of it worth it?
It won’t change your life, but it’s on par with Yugioh, Digimon, Pokémon, Battle Network.
>YGO
Yugioh is too slow, Mostly shit games
>Digimon
shit games
>Pokemon
Old games were fine
>Battle Network
These were worth someone's time.
In terms of overall quality. Mederbots is a tier above B-Daman or Beyblade for example.
>Beyblade
The only one I know is the shitty PS1 game.
>Not playing the S tier GBA RPG
I was stuck in some godforsaken country once with only a GBA emulator and a dual up connection and beat that entire game. The best 6/10 game I’ve ever played.
Yeah, I don't think it would top BN3 or BN6.
Battle Network has a God-tier battle system.
I can’t think of many combat systems that match it.
Radiant Historia, FFXII, maybe Medabots 9.
I would say Tales of, But some of the 3D games are too dumb and button mashy.
Arise makes it into top tier, but the previous games are fairly lame.
Destiny II was better.
Arise is much worse than the best game in the series, Hearts R.
Beyblade is already a few tiers above B-Daman.
For the show, stick with the first season only. Don't watch Spirits. The sub has the episodes in the correct order. I haven't gotten around to the games because most of them are untranslated.
The second season is good you just don’t know. Everything Medabots it good.
I watched the entirety of Spirits. Cutting out most of the cast is not good. Butchering the personalities of the remaining cast is not good. Introducing new characters whose only personality ia being different flavors of annoying is not good. The only highlights are Nae, a few Arika moments, and the episodes that focus on Kikuhime's lackeys. I like Medarots, but come on, anon.
God I wish, but we just can't have nice things. I hate this planet.
Is Spirits based on the third game or something? Is that why everyone is cut?
No, they changed writers
Wish Imagineer would just translate the games but just do it as Medarot so we can have them already. Stupid literal who taking the MEDABOT trademark is pretty much the big reason why we didn't get the legacy collection translated
No fucking way will Imagineer translate all the games after a legal dispute.
That Spanish guy is an idiot because they still sell merchandise globally under Medabots.
I don’t want to know what sort of special retard you’d have to be to pick Medabots as the base for a Crypto business venture.
the only redeeming part of spirits is the mechanic chick
The show had such a cool atmosphere
The show is fun as fuck and where a lot of big names in the animation industry made their debut so for what it seems like on the surface (another cheap pokemon knockoff series for children), it actually holds its own against many of the best animated shows from the decade. The dub is decent and a good mix of cheesy liberties from the dub team (think 4k!ds but not nearly as hamfisted) but also some genuinely solid performances and jokes that only adults would pick up on.
Watch it subbed though. The dub does fall into trappings of kids anime, maybe not as hard as contemporaries like One Piece, but things like ArcBeetle being given a voice when his story is specifically that he was Hikaru's Metabee whose medal he had to damage beyond repair, he's just his husk of a partner now.
Makes it more emotional when the final episode's credits show that Hikaru's closed up shop to go on a trip with ArcBeetle just as Ikki figures out who he is
Armored core but Medabot instead of mecha?
What if From Software made Medabots...
Metabee... Forgive me....
I can’t figure out if Medabots is an action series or a JRPG turn based series.
how long will this thread last until someone posts pochincoff
It’s a gacha, not pachinko.
isnt the girl on the right a jackass bully character that nobody likes?
She’s the “I gotta take this photo for the school paper” character that everyone likes.
Im always surprised how favourably everyone views Medabots, especially the anime.
I guess when you only have three English games, the nostalgia is pretty localised and no real arguments break out.
Whenever something old nowadays gets a new entry, they tend to suck by missing the point of the original and threads about it are flooded with shitposters screaming "X RUINED FOREVER". In a way, Medarots getting no new western content for years is a blessing in disguise because it both keeps the old image untarnished and wards off the attention of shitposters looking for something to complain about. It helps that the anime aged like a fine wine with its simple yet distinct artstyle and I would pick rewatching that over almost any anime in the last decade.
>And threads about it are flooded with shitposters screaming "X RUINED FOREVER"
I wonder what the Japanese think of the series? I'm gonna go try find some Japanese blog that reviews or ranks the games or something.
>I wonder what the Japanese think of the series?
Well, here's some Famitsu.

>especially the anime.
That's because the anime was legit a hidden gem. It's just that not that many people actually bothered to watch it in the west because western audiences could only keep one "collectable battler for kids" series on the brain and everything else was deemed a knockoff. It also got some pretty shit timeslots from what I recall. I know that as a kid, I had to record it most of the time so I could watch them. There was genuine fucking quality in there though.
Mother's Basement has a good rundown of why.
Everyone forgets how big Pokémon was initially. Shit was like a phenomena for 2 years there, like a 9/11 or The Beatles.
I remember seeing Medabots as a kid and being immediately drawn in. But I also remember there was no core merchandise around it, just a few figurines.
It was the same thing with Zoids. There was just nothing around for kids to beg their parents for.
Hey look there's a Medabot day.
Make them real already, fuck ethics! Give me cute robots that could kill you with one miss of a gun
Medabots is armored core for kids.
Medarot is live now; watch the cute robot do karaoke
Encore time bois
This is fucking surreal.
Absolutely based
They're the regular vtubers, they're not the band; it's also karaoke not a performance
fuck me, they couldn't make good models, give them passable animations for their movement nor find good singers. What the fuck
Who are these girls? Are they fans or something or they work for Imagineer or?
They're employees I think, this is the official channel
>Medarot vtuber
Woah...ok
Idols
What EN tuber will they colab with? Fillian? Nyanners?
Wasn't there a recent Medarot game that showed Ikki as the new Phantom Renegade?
That was on the DS in 2010. I think he's still around in 7, 8 and 9, maybe.
Medabots has the strangest translation focus of any series. They translated R and the original Gameboy.
Why the focus wasn't on the 3DS games I don't know. That's like translating the Digimon Wonderswan games before Re:Digitize or something.
This is Foxuno, my favorite jobber. What's yours?
No one knows their names Anon I'm sorry. I don't know the names because they make you name the medal and then your robot looks like a cross dressing Frankenstein.
are you trying to imply I knew his name beforehand and I didn't just google white medabot until I found a image with his name on it?
A yes, shield guy. I remember having him half and half with the Null parts for the ultimate tank. The game was not good balancing their shit

I kinda like Sharkkan so far
Blackram looks cute from certain angles but totally jankfuck from others
Just release the fucking games in the west.

Or basically any game that wasn't the English remake of 2?
I've played almost every numbered title and Girls Mission.
I went through 1 and 9.
1 conceptually isn’t a bad game, but the gameboy limits the part and battle feedback you need from menus. Battles feel like they’re random even though they’re not from the hidden complexity.
9 is legitimately a good game and is the culmination of every single battle system iteration before it. I was flipping between Medabots 9 and Digimon Cyber Sleuth the other day and I was surprised that I actually wanted to continue 9 more than any other game at the time.
For some reason the concept of Medabots in normal societal positions is interesting.
Does the anime or any of the games go into that topic? Or is everything just a Pokémon battle
>For some reason the concept of Medabots in normal societal positions is interesting.
The medabots world is like that no? Medabattles is just an plus.
Decent scans never ever

Anon, Battle Network and Medabots are both the same fucking thing. Wait until you see the colabs.
Medabots have navi chips & style change?
Yes, in the form of medals and cars.
See that beetle with shotgun arms? It’s now a BMW.
Navi chips do not work the same as Medals.
Something that tries to capture the feel of early 2000s SOL anime
Medabots 8 is basically Haruhi.
Ikki's mom porn.
Erika porn.
Samantha porn.
Crossdressing Ikki porn.

How much more gay can you get anon?
I would plow crossdressing Ikki almost as hard as I would plow Sam and Erika, but nothing beats Brass and Peppercat.
So sick. So sick and let me tell you Joe, Medabots would still be around if 3 got translated believe me.
>tfw your combat system is so complex that not a single person knows what the fuck is going on
You wouldn't a meda, right?
Not only is it a robot, but it’s a robot mermaid. That’s two layers of “where does my dick go?”
I'l raise you one better if we're playing "where does my dick go?"
there is an exhaust pipe right there
Okqy, how about this?

What the spider doin'?
It's playing one of those games where water is encased in a plastic shell and you have to use bubbles to cast tiny rings over a little pole.
Tachikoma are so cute
I just noticed Tachikoma's fingers aren't the same on each hand, thats bothering me.
just replace the legs
Medas don't like mixed parts
Medabots...but it's on a giant mechanical floating island.
Also apart of robot parts you can install various modules into said body parts to either further enhance their functions or add additional ones if not completely modify how certain parts work. Additionally adding in extra weapons like pistols, rifles, heavy weapons and a gamut upon gamut of auxiliary melee weapons. All in case your bot will meet someone or something on which his build-in loadout won't work on it or only partially.
Why is it on Epstein Island
Stop thinking about medas.
you can't. it is stuck being mobile games and v-tubers now.
At least that’s something.
Medabot vtubers
Interesting. What video games do they play?
>What video games do they play?

Medabots teached me one of the two things i hate the most from a series: important characters disappearing between seasons WITHOUT FUCKING EXPLANATION! yes, i am still mad over medabots anime season 2.
What's your favorite meda Ganker?
KBT honestly. It's such a basic bitch answer but everything about Metabee is cool.
Okay, any OTHER favorites?
For me it's
My moron.
this anon posted it
I only played the GBA RPG and AX ones. Which other ones do I go for?
Tell me why an adult themed medabot reboot game wouldn't be a good thing.
Adult themed? Medabooty?
No, violence, horror things like that. maybe medabooty.
