Hello,

I'm a Brazilian fan of animations and games, and I'm especially a super fan of most of the things that were part of my youth in the 2000s. This includes, of course, Medabots.

Although I was already a fan of the anime, I always loved the Game Boy Advance RPG. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the franchise was originally a game series that later had an anime adaptation, similar to Pokémon (a franchise with which I have a lot of experience).

I believe that Medarot/Medabots always had potential in the West. It didn't need to be a billion-dollar franchise like Pokémon, but it could have carved out its own space, similar to Yo-Kai Watch. Unfortunately, this didn't happen due to poor management by Imagineer, who focused too much on marketing the anime in the West instead of bringing over the games immediately, as was done with Pokémon. This poor management resulted in them losing the rights to the "Medabots" brand to a certain individual in Europe.

I've always been curious to learn more about the franchise; unfortunately, I don't understand Japanese, so all I can do is hope for the success of dedicated fans who are willing to translate all the games into English. Because of this, my contribution to Medapedia depends heavily on research, as I haven't played many of the games other than Medarot 1, Medarot R, Medabots AX, and Medarot 2 Core.

As English is not my first language, I ask for your patience in correcting any grammatical errors if necessary. I'm not here to vandalize; I just want to contribute at least a little so that Medarot fans around the world have more information about this franchise that, unfortunately, abandoned the West too soon.

I don't have an exact priority list for my contributions, but I generally focus on transcribing the story based on the media I am currently following. I also contribute to the page's official arts, as I have experience working with Photoshop and ripping game resources from various consoles.

Currently, I'm removing transparent space from Medarot S arts and ripping portraits and sprites from Medarot 2 Core and Medarot R. Medarot R is the most time-consuming since it requires hard ripping—taking screenshots at native resolution and carefully removing the background with Photoshop.
