But from the animation of the game, its about a kid trying save a world through the use of robotic animals. From the ending of the game, it reveals that the robots were created by a scientist with the aim of helping humans restore the natural enviornment. Since I don't understand the Japanese I'm just speculating with the given animation. ********************************************************************** * Controls * ********************************************************************** A: 1)confirmation of a command in battle and menu mode 2)talking to people (hint) in battle mode just leave your hand on A and battles will become faster, good for upgrading robots B: 1)cancel of a commad in battle and menu mode 2)access inventory mode R/L: access map mode ********************************************************************** * Menus * ********************************************************************** 1) Battle mode: This is where you do all the battle commands and stuff -------------------------------------------------------------------- l ___ _______________________ l l l 1 l l 7 l l l l l l___l l_______l_______l_______l l l l 2 l l l l___l l l l 3 l l l l___l l l l 4 l l l l___l l l l 5 l l l l___l l l l 6 l _______________________ l l l___l l 8 l l l l l l_______l_______l_______l l -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: Attack 2: Special attacks- A menu pops up showing the robot's special attacks and also capturing (capturing will be explained further in detail) 3: Items- A list of items will appear 4: Switch- When you select this a menu pops up, illustrating the robot that can be swtiched.

There are a few basics that you need to know when capturing a robot. You must know the Capture Bar which shows the possiblity of capturing the desired robot and the "hanto"(exact translation) move located in the battle mode. When a robot is hit the Capture Bar will increase, by showing a yellow, then red , then blinking bar. The best possiblity of capturing a robot, is when the Capture Bar is blinking or when it's red Battle mode->Special attack _______________________________ l 1."Hanto" l l l l move1 move2 l l l l move3 move4 l l_______________________________1 Just remember that using this move requires EN 2)Methods There are a few methods of capturing a robot depending on what your trying to capture. When your robots gets too powerful to capture anything you must vary your strategies and techniques. The way I capture is to keep a seperate team, one for fighting and one for capturing. OK.. enough about crap heres some ways: 1. Normal This is your standard way of capturing. You injure the robot until its Capture Bar is red or blinking and then use the Hanto move. 2. Using items There are two types of items, one that directly affects the Capture Bar and the other doubles the increase of the Capture Bar based on a normal hit. When using items, beware that some robots may dislike the item given and run away. 3. Using Special attacks This is probably the best way in capturing a robot. There are moves that directly increases the Capture Bar and some that act like items. The best capturing move is probably the "Roar" move, which directly increases the Capture Bar. Well who learns it you may ask... Well the dog at the first island learns it at level 16 or 17 (i forgot). It costs 30EN to use its more powerful version costs 50 learned by the wolf on the volcano island. I have three dogs and evolved them to Hyenas and they rock!!! I do the move 10 times and the robot's capture bar will blink like crazy. This is heaps good because the robot is at full health therefore unable to regain HP(when a robot heals itself the Capture Bar decreases). 4. Combination This is just a combination of the above methods. For a 100% capture rate then use the "Roar" move plus injuring the robot. Or just do everything mentioned. ********************************************************************** * Walkthrough * ********************************************************************** 1) Island 1 (main island) Once you begin a new game, it will show you an intro, which gives you background information. A girl gets injured and your Grandpa helps her. Once her Grandpa is through talking to you, you should go right into the "Pet" building where you can choose a Robot to aid you in the fight against evil. You can choose from a Chick, Eagle or a Fox. I chose a Chick because I kept pressing A ... oh well. After choosing you will get into a fight in the Square, don't worry if you lose because your suppose to, so don't waste items. After losing go around the city and gather items from cupboards and bins... Once outside your Grandpa will teach you how to capture robots. Remember to capture it, its a butterfly that has a Capturing Robot move. NOW YOU MUST TRAIN YOUR ROBOT to level 10 or you won't be able to win victoriouly. Go to the building NORTH of the city and kick some bad ass. After winning, the woman flies away and you will obtain a shiny dot which turns out to be a glove. The next part of the island will be available now so capture all the different ones. MAkE SURE YOU CAPTURE A PARROT OR CAN'T GET TO THE UNDER WATER BASE. Go into the other city next to the lake and the fat boy will show you how to evolve robots. With a Parrot in your team, go North of the City and present it to the scientist. If he doesn't accept it, walk out then walk back in. Once he takes it, he will take you to the Tower that changes the landscape. To change the landscape, go infront of the machine and insert a fire robot. Remember once you put it in you can't withdraw it unless you want to change the landscape back. Go into the underwater building and beat the boss, hope you've been leveling up. After beating the boss, you will be back in the orginal city and the girl will follow you around. You now go East, to the other side of the island then go South to the Airport on the beach. You will then be flown to Island 2. Robots(ones you can capture) 1.Normal(when tower not in use) Green Red Blue -Cat -Mouse -Hippo -Rabbit -Dog -Tadepole -Deer -Crab -Butterfly -Monkey -Bamboo -Dragonfly -Spider -Parrot 2.Desert(when Red type is in tower) Green Red Blue -Dragonfly -Horse -Hippo -Parrot -Bird -Tadepole -Elephant -Crab -Piglet 3.Dark(when Purple type is in tower) Green Red Purple -Moth -Hydralisk(lvl65) -Rhino -Triceratops -Hornet -Dog -Firefly -Drilling Bug 2) Island 2 (One with the arena) Once arrived, go south to the city and just talk to everyone, because I can't remember, but probably nothing. Now go North and follow the path until u see a kid. He will challenge you and his robots are lvl 30 or high 20s. I think your suppose to lose, but if you can beat him then go right ahead. After losing, you will be placed in a bed. Once you get out of the bed, you'll notive that it was the town that you've been heading. Now go South of the town and you will see a cave. Go in and fight your way through. After defeating the boss, get the shiny thing and head back to town for a quick healing. Now go in the Tower and use the item infront of the door. *note* its a special item so make sure you've read the above information. This is where heaps of people get stuck. Make sure you have a green type to change the landscape. Now go into the Arena. Go right and kick all the bad guys and collect the items. Then go to the left and do the same. I forgot the order here. You beat the boss and get a special item to free the people in the electricty room or get item to defuse the bomb. Ohh...well, just remember it is a Special Item After freeing everyone you can go to the airport and you'll be flown to a little island. This island is part of Island 2. Just go inside the cave and go right until to see the ledge which looks like this: ____ l l l____l l__ l <-- ----- l l Just walk in the direction indicated and you should fall where the button is. Now press the button, which should filter the water. Now walk into the underground staircase and you'll face the robot that knocked the plane down. Don't worry, you're suppose last 3 or 4 turns I think, and then it would self destruct. After that get back to town and talk. After that get back on the flight and you'll be taken to Island 3 Robots(ones you can capture) 1.Normal(when tower not in use) Green Red Blue -Flying Lizard -Rabbit -Shellfish -Vulture -Pirana -Tadepole with yellow whiskers -Seal 2.Forest(when Green type is in tower) Green Red Blue -Flying Lizard -Rabbit -Little fish -Teddybear -Bull(arena) -Frog -Vulture -Shellfish -Deer -Pirana -Bamboo -Tadepole with yellow whiskers -Spider -Seal 3.Dark(when Purple type is in tower) Blue Purple -Swordfish -Grizzly -Cloyster -Jellyfish -Armoured fish -Stegosaurus -Sunfish 3) Island 3 (Volcano) Once you arrive go East and then towards the volcano. Once inside the town go chatting with everyone and collect items. Just remember that you should talk to everyone and scrab items. After doing so go towards the hotel, which should result you to getting locked up. Now get the blue shiny thing and open the cage. Now go to the back of the Pet Store which can be achieved by walking right infront of the Pet Store door(don't go inside) then go right, which will lead you to the back. Press A on the crack of the wall and a staircase will show. Go under and talk to the guy and collect the item in the chest, which will give you a Special item. Now go left pass the guy and go upstairs. Use the Special item infront of the rock. The rock will break and larva will be gone. Now go and break the other rock on the lower right. Go through the tunnel and you will reach the tower. Beat the guy and it should change the landscape back to normal. Now head for the hotel. In the hotel you have to collect 3 Coloured Gems. Just look around in rooms, its a coloured ball. After collecting them, go to Floor 4 and drop one of the Gems off the Ledge.*Note* Gems are Special Items... After doing that you go back to Floor 2 and use elevator, which leads to the boss. Peace is restored and the cave to the west will now be open. Theres a Lvl 30 Purple.Sabertooth, you can only have one chance to catch it, so prepare yourself. Its located deep inside the cave where there's heaps of smoke.

Now go to the healing place and a green dog should appear. Follow it.. Head west of the town and go across the water, into a house. You find out that a girl is sick, and you need to get the medicine. Now head back to town and enter the green building on the left. After talking to the old lady, now you must head West to the cave. After coming out of the cave, you will reach the Tower. Defeat the Purple.Centepede. After defeating it make sure you only carry 5 bots only to recieve the robot from the machine. Now head North-West to Cliff. Just keep moving upwards and go to all the caves. Once you reach the top, you'll fight the boss and you will obtain the medicine. Oh..yeah the dog comes and challenge you to a battle for the medicine. After that, head back to the little girl and she will be healed. Level up, because it's quick to upgrade here.

This will cause the engine to run and destroy those boxes blocking your path. Now just head upstairs and talk to everyone and collect all the items and Special items, remember to look in cupboards. On Floor 3 3 guys will block the stairs to the next Floor. They will ask you to find three special items. Hopefully you already looked everywhere so use the items infront of them. Upstairs, theres an item store and healing place so make use of it. Head upstairs and talk to everyone and collect Special items. To fire the cannon, to need to speak to the guy in the warhead room, but make sure you have the specail items. You'll recive a cannon ball so now u can fire the cannon. After that proceed upstairs and beat everyone up. Head upstairs which is Floor 8. There will be three statues blocking your way and will ask you 9 questions. The answers are Y, Y, N, N, Y, N, Y, N, Y. Now go upstairs and kick the boss's ass. His got a heaps Powerful whale so beware. If ur robots are above lvl50 then you'll have no problems. After defeating him, you'll find out that the boss with red hair goes crazy and knocks out the boss and captures the girl. Now you'll get teleported to Island 5 and the boss will be in the hospital.

Just beat everyone up. Theres a healing thing inside the building, on Floor 3 or 4, not sure. You can't come back to this island after killing boss, so capture all the robots here or upgrade your robots, very nice experience points. Before the fighting the red haired guy, you'll be fighting against very cool and powerful robots. Its the robots of each Tower. Your robots should be at level 70s because mine were. The final boss has a big Purple.Dragon, its heaps big. I suggest killing the Green one because it heals it's pals. After beating the boss you've finished the game and watch the ending. After that you'll be in the town of the first island and special caves will now appear on each Island. These caves contain a Level 65 robot. These are very hard to find and they've got cool looking special attacks. I still haven't seen the one on Island 2 so hard to find. I spent an hour looking for it.
