NetZan development

So, I've returned to Rockman.EXE hell after a while because I was feeling nostalgic and I end up watching a Blue Moon playthrough because I was curious about the Blues scenario (I haven't played any of the Battle Network 4 games) and OMG, the NetZan fuel! I realize that Blue Moon/Red Sun games tend to be hated and I understand why, but the Blues scenario really shows how Netto and Enzan's relationship has progressed from the earlier games!

To briefly summarize Blues' scenario, you have to help Enzan get Blues back after he gets infected with a Darkchip. After navigating the Undernet and finally reaching Blues, Enzan states that he wants to be the one to liberate Blues by operating Rockman. And Netto lets him. And hands him Rock's PET to do so!

Sorry, but this kinda blew my mind when I first saw it. Netto might be a social butterfly who gets along with almost everyone, but letting someone else operate Rockman? He even mentions that he usually hates someone else operating him, but Enzan's an exception!

Then Netto finishes off by saying that if the roles were reversed, he'd do the same...which brings the following game in mind, where after Rockman gets abducted, the respective leader of the games will loan you their Navi to use until you get Rockman back. In Team Blues' case, that means taking control of Blues for a while. I lowkey wonder if for Enzan, his Blue Moon scenario is another factor into his decision to lend Blues to Netto.

For many in this series, letting someone else operate your Navi is probably considered a huge sign of trust, and this is probably especially true for these two and both of them let the other do so in canon! Am I weird for going crazy over this?

I know Battle Network 2 is where their relationship starts to take a positive turn and has that famous cute tsundere moment, but 4 and 5 really show how far they've become! Plus, 4 has Netto act like the tsundere for once lol

Also in Blue Moon, they enter the stage together! It's just so cute!

MMBN discussion

so a bit of history, I was introduced to Megaman/Rockman by my dad, but it was Bass/Forte and Protoman/Blues that really got me into it, this post is just me discussing my independent exploration into battle network and my possible predictions based off of my patterns for favorite characters. (side note I might explore X later, but it will be a while since I'm still catching up on classic and BN for now.)

so starting off I've had no choice but to watch gameplay footage, due to the platform limitations I face. (I'm stuck on an old mac with limited gaming budget for now, I'll probably by the legacy compilation when I can later.)

regardless here's some predictions I have so far:

I will likely fall in love with Bass.exe/Forte.exe since according to the wiki, most of what got me attached to mainline Bass is still there. (I have a soft spot for intimidating and/or grumpy characters, if they do cute things and/or have a heartbreaking backstory it's just bonus points. TLDR: Wolverine is pretty much the building blocks of my favorite character traits most of the time.)

If Chaud becomes less annoying, I may get attached to him and Protoman.exe/Blues.exe as well. (Seriously how does Chaud make Blue from pokemon seem so much less like a jerk?)

So far with the first game I love Roll.exe, as a have a soft spot for wholesomeness and Bunny inspired designs. (Bunny girl medic that is wholesome? I love her already!)

Lan is dense as a brick, but still charming in his own way.

Additionally I already like Hub Hikari/Megaman.exe/Rockman.exe he's just so wholesome, and determined and aaaaaaahhhhhhh.....

Iceman.exe looks like a combination of his cute artic design, combined with a new adorable almost night time like theming I love it so much.

Glide.exe and Elecman.exe are bees and I am obsessed with it, I love Bee designs hell my classic oc is inspired by carpenter bees.

and while I already made his BN redesign, Toccata.exe retains the odd traits he always had, so no one's toes are being stepped on thankfully.

(He also became a bit more of a wasp, but it works out in the end.)

Fireman.exe and Skullman.exe look so cool it's not fair.

Colorman.exe is a Clown and I already love Clownman so I love his fun design as well. I just love clown designs honestly, they're so fun, and can very so much.

I hope to get attached to Gutsman.exe, and many other characters this has been an enjoyable experience so far even if I can't play the game myself.

also it's a tactical rpg battle system, so when I have the ability to play for myself, I know I'm going to enjoy it and be fairly good at it as well. (Rpg and strategy games are more my pace, so the battle network system also excites me as well.)

TLDR: I found out at some point that Battle network was a thing, and I've been enjoying it while catching up.
