Why did Medabots never became popular?

>>157272764
Digimon is barely alive, and Appmon is more or !ess a failure

Medarot has plenty of Japan exclusive games, just no anime attatched to them

Danball Senki pretty much eclipped it in the whole 'robot battling' genre

It was before it's time

imagine if you could watch the show then go fight a medabot after it with some friends at school

Pokemon had the game on the gameboy which blew it up.

Yugioh had the card game.

Beyblade has the toys. When I get my medabot fight league then the show will become popular

It was pretty good, I remember rewatching it a few years back and it still held up pretty good. Can't say that about most childhood shows

I always felt like the "giving away a Medabot part after losing" gimmick didn't work well since it just turned the marketable robots into hideous abominations.

The animation was pretty damn good too

Nobody ever used the parts tho. Metabee only used it for one or two episodes

That's the point, everyone just stuck to their original parts no matter how many fights they won.

I still loved the shit out of the show, it was probably my second favorite childhood anime after Digimon Adventure.

Medabots still gets games in Japan.

That game came out last year I believe. But didn't it bombed so hard it killed the game company?

The developer closed before Girls Mission came out. The publisher got absorbed by the parent company after Girls Mission. But the official Medabots twitter account is still active and there's new merch coming out this year for the 20th anniversary.

Merchandise, all they had to do was do that skylander / nintendo figure thing before anyone else.

Customize your robot with different parts, and allow their digital self collect.

It would be better if they traded parts changed to the Medabots default color scheme
