Mostly talking about the tv show. I wish this had taken off more than it did. The art style of the anime is so rad. No one can convince me to hate on Medabots. Anyone else into this growing up?

Why would that be the case when Pokemon did so well? I know it's not robots, but I assume the salient part is "fighting" rather than "robots" or else it'd be very obvious to point to Transformers (which can be sold on the basis that at least they transform). Then again, there's Bionicles too, which are basically robots and don't transform (mostly?)
