Talk:Mega Man (original series)

Overhaul
Since everyone's talking about giving these pages an overhaul, I'm eventually going to update this, and some other, articles based on my previous work on Wikipedia and, in these series pages cases, WikiKnowledge. In this case, I will probably base a good bit of this on my work on this article. --Brahman 05:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Timeline
About the ages: in the intro of Mega Man: Powered Up it says 20XX. 200X was the original idea used by Capcom, but they changed it. About the Proto Man image: its not the fact of it being official or unofficial, but its a recolor of Mega Man Volnutt using sunglasses, and doesn't look like the real Proto Man, with or without helmet. The WikiKnowledge also changed the "Proto Man Volnutt" image. And about the references: Most of the edits on the WikiKnowledge where made by Yahweh/Brahman (almost a copy), the Forums from Rockman Perfect Memories and Sprites Inc. says that its a timeline made by fans, and Wikipedia says that its logical reasoning unconfirmed by Capcom. The same to the other series timelines, except part of the Mega Man X series, that uses 2 instruction manuals as reference. --200.181.81.252 18:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I think we've been over all this in this forum topic. If you have any other comments, feel free to add them though! --Brahman 23:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've updated the timeline a bit...I changed the dates for the GameBoy games slightly, based on some suggestions filtered by Mandi Paugh of the Mega Man Homepage and Dr. Cossack of the Mega Man PC Website. Basically, the GameBoy games cannot take place in the period between MM3 and MM4 since Dr. Wily was supposed to be "dead" and that would have blown his cover, so to speak.
 * Anyway, I thought about adding MM9 to the timeline, but since we don't know much about the game and when exactly it takes place, I'll refrain until we know more about it. --Brahman 00:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

The Gameboy games...
The introduction to Mega Man 4 (NES) states that Mega Man had defeated Dr. Wily 3 times prior. Does that not mean that Mega Man (Gameboy) must take place sometime after MM4? Likewise, Mega Man V (Gameboy) states that Mega Man had defeated Wily 4 times before, referring to that sequence of attacks I imagine. Current order shown on the page is 1, 2, I, 3, 4, II, III, 5, IV, V, 6; however I believe from the introductions it's supposed to be 1, 2, 3, 4, I, II, III, IV, V, 5, 6. Mega Man 4 states it takes place in 200X, and Mega Man 5 in 20XX.

The first 4 Gameboy games do not state a year, however Mega Man V states it takes place in 20XX. That allows it to fit between 4 and 5, or even 5 and 6. We know it cannot take place after 6 because Wily was in jail and then Mega Man 7 takes place, and since it cannot have taken place after 7 because the Super Adaptor had been created, which uses the Mega Arm from MMV. So perhaps between 5 and 6 is the best bet. MK 12:59, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Little Contradiction
In the summarized timeline Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters is listed after Mega Man 8. But in the more detailed timeline Mega Man & Bass is. Just wondering if anybody noticed that.

Also is Mega Man Game Gear considered non-canon?
