I'm pretty sure we've ended up with that situation with some of the stray cats that decided to stay here at different points, yes.

As for non copy ability Kirby games..... eh? They're okay, but definitely prefer when you do have powers.

I generally tend to favor the animal based ones, I just think they tend to have interesting designs. Some personal favorites are Sumatran, Robbit, and Tanishi.

Fair enough, and yeah, Crab Puncher is a good call. For the most part, I tend to favor fortress bosses that have a unique, fun design (like, not just "this is just a machine," like, not big on things like CWU-01P or Power Piston, for example). Like, I'll even admit Yellow Devil does have an iconic design. It's just not one I need to see quite so often, haha.

Interesting, though we'd need to get wings in there somehow for my dragon to be in that group.

MM2 - Mecha Dragon. I mean, of course. MM3 - Holograph Mega Mans. For all the wrong reasons. There's a very silly glitch that can let you one-shot them if you know what you're doing. MM4 - Metall Daddy. I mean, of course, part 2. MM7 - HannyaNED². Honestly, just think the design is interesting and cool. MM10 - Weapons Archive and Block Devil. Hey, double duty! The WA just feels interesting, would have been interested to see even more RMs in it. As for Block Devil, the rare case of a Devil boss that doesn't really annoy or bore me.

Honestly, I'm really not sure. I feel like at the very least, I'd want to add more randomization to their movement pattern, but slow them down a little so you have time to react, rather than it just being the same fast pattern over and over and over again. Still that doesn't quite feel like enough... Admittedly, I don't really have any solid ideas myself on how to improve the formula. Truthfully, were I to have the means and skills and such to make a fangame/s with the RMNs or what have you, I doubt I'd make a Devil type boss, just give them a break for a bit. (similar reason I wouldn't end with a "capsule" fight, that concept I feel also could stand to take a break for a game or two)

Hmm... A Pokemon themed health bar would probably be simple enough, but maybe kind of a compromise between the two for people who want to specifically see the "lines" of health? Like still MM type health bar rather than just a solid bar as seen in Pokemon games, but with some border elements to style it after something from Pokemon?

Between the two, probably Plant Shield. The health absorption sounds really good.

I mean, it certainly makes sense, haha.

It can work, as you said, it was used in Rock Force. You could also say it was used in 3 via Doc Robot, but I think Rock Force had a more interesting idea by making it completely unique stages for the new RMs rather than just rehashing stages you just went through.

I think the idea could work, my only real question is where it would be. Like, would this just be seen in the pause menu, or would it constantly be on screen, and at what size? The concern there is if too much screen real estate gets taken up by the HUD. Also, would this be a replacement for the usual Mega Man health bar? Because having just the portrait and no actual health bar runs the risk of making your concept of how much health you have remaining a lot less clear. The idea COULD work, I'd just have to solidly see how it would be implemented.

Not that I can immediately think of, no.

Admittedly I'm not too much of a Dragon Quest fan for the most part. I've played a few of them, but just never could really get solidly into them. I do however like the monster designs, so I do sometimes like the DQ Monsters games, though I haven't had opportunity to play any of the recent ones.

Like anything, there are a lot of determining factors. Just how badly burnt the bridge was, for example. If something was just a misunderstanding that got out of hand, that's one thing. If someone went out of their way to cause me problems, that's another. If I've already given additional chances that were abused, there comes a point where the extra chances run out. There's a lot of different factors.

However, they don't quite loop, as Electric isn't weak to Grass, and Fairy isn't weak to Psychic. Alas, I don't think you can really get a full loop with the types as they are here, so you'd have to include some other form of reasoning. Now, Grass at least RESISTS Electric, so there's that, but even that doesn't quite work for the secondary set, nor can I really figure out a way to have it as a full loop of eight...

I do tend to enjoy just firing rapidly, so yeah, that's probably part of it at least.
