ROBOPON LP

I equip a shotgun to my unicycle. Let's Play Robopon!


Robopon. What can I say about Robopon? Obviously riding on the fame of the Pokemon series, Robopon was released to the Japanese masses on December 4th 1998. Coming in 2 different versions entitled Sun & Star Versions. I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact differences(other then the obvious different starting robot) since Atlus decided to only bring over the Sun version to American shores exactly 2 years later to the date. Robopon follows very closely to the monster catching and battling aspect of Pokemon with minor formula changes that will be apparent as we play. So enough of this intro... Let's Play Robopon: Sun Version!This game is brought to you by Atlus, who wishes they had invented Pokemon first.


Pokemon totally ripped off Robopon.



Oh boy they nearly made contact. My adrenaline is already pumping for the exciting game ahead of us.




I don't even know why Atlus bothered mentioning its the Sun Version since they didn't even bother bringing over both verisons. Oh well let us put this apocalyptic screen of falling suns behind us and mov-


What.

Okay, okay moving on!


I swear I've been here before...



I swear I have seen this room before somewhere. Well we are tossed into the game, while we are sleeping in our bed. Let's see what our room is like here. Looks like someone didn't even give a shit while coloring the tv sprite and just dragged a blue filter over it. Ominous foreshadowing of the quality of game to come...? Let us not even talk about the green stairs or pink computer.



*Loud Rumbling* Well it looks like the suns that were falling in the title screen wasn't just for show. The world is ending and we are only seconds into the game. I guess we should wake up atleast.


It's the end of the world, kid. Time to regret those pink curtains.


Well we are out of bed now, checking out the window to see whats going on. (I have yet to gain control of the character) Let's go see if the folks know whats up.



No, the loud noises and shaking did. Dad is startlingly blue for some odd reason. Not that it matters because this happens.


This is a perfect time to take a business trip. Bye family!
Well It looks like dad is leaving on his "business trip". Mom, with her normal skin color has never let us down when we need her.



Oh god mom don't leave me too, and why won't someone fucking tell me why the whole house was shaking?


MOOOOOOM



After being deserted by our parents we are contacted by our possibly dead or invisible grandpa. Grandpa, I can't help you, since you are dead. Stop haunting us and making earthquakes.


Or he could just be in the backyard? Let's go ask him why the house was shaking.



Backyard, my ass.



Speaking of which.
what the hell is that anyway. I can't tell if that's a home, a church, or a terrible RPG Maker 98 creation. I can't check it out yet because I still have yet to gain control of my character.


After trudging through the horrible architecture we find Grandpa watching what looks to be a motorcycle and dune buggy go at it.

Grandpa what are you doing?



*both machines explode into flames as they die in immense pain*
It seems grandpa is a sick twisted man who pits robots against each other for his personal amusement and gain. Sounds like Robot Wars.

Hey Grandpa~



You don't remember me?


You have been hanging around with Prof. Oak again haven't you?



I see where this is going.


and to add some ethnic culture to this LP, we will be donning the name "JOSE"
Not much choice with a 4 character limit to the name.



lo que usted dice, grandpappy


I see where dad gets his spontaneity from.
Well it seems after Grandpa's horrible failure of an experiment, he is fed up with Robopons. Leaving us the burden of a possibly failing company who is in debt. Thanks Grandpa.



Another failure I am sure.


We follow Grandpa through his brightly colored lab til we make it to his head lab, where we meet our first Robopon and Grandpa's latest creation appropriately named Sunny.



Oh like not force it to fight to its death for an experiment? Whatever Grandpa.

Now we have our first Robopon, so we can go around town bragging or some shit.


but first Grandpa gives us our allowance, in the only currency he knows. Gold dubloons.
Let's blow this place and go bully kids with our new Robopon and buy M- rated games.



Now that I have gained control of myself, lets head east to the closest Gamestop.




Excuse me, can you please move. I am trying to buy M- rated video games.

Well it seems we need to help Lisa with this bully before we can progress.



Woah woah man, I just want to get by.



Okay here is our first fight of the game. Before each fight starts, you see your team and your opponents team of Robopon. Then comes the view of you and your opponent...


Holy shit what is wrong with you.

It seems Sean is horribly disfigured, so let us show him how us company owning badass kids roll.
