Story
Gameplay
Robopon is similar to the Pokémon series in that players catch and train robots, Robopon, to fight against other Robopon in battles. Participating in battles allows Robopon to accumulate experience points, enabling them to level up and grow stronger, as well as collect "Energy Balls", which are required for some Robopon to evolve. Like in the Pokémon games, the player regularly encounters other Robopon "trainers" who will challenge the player to Robopon battles. Robopon can be obtained through a number of methods: either by catching wild Robopon with Magnets, by donating money to Laboratories to develop new types of Robopon which may then be purchased, or received as a gift by completing specific events.
Unlike Pokémon, however, Robopon may also be equipped with Parts and Software to improve their performance in battle. Parts may be equipped onto a Robopon to increase certain stats, as well as to increase their maximum RAM. Equipping Software allows Robopon to acquire new skills that consume EP when used, but require varying amounts of RAM to install. In addition, Robopon can also be taken to Laboratories to upgrade their CPU, which will increase their loyalty to the player and possibly improve their performance in battle.
