Robopon 2 Cross Version

About

Robopon 2 Cross Version is a handheld RPG where you guide Cody through a time-bending quest to stop a villainous doctor. Set on a tropical island, the game mixes exploration with turn-based battles as you recruit robotic creatures called Robopon. Your goal is to challenge powerful opponents in a tournament while figuring out a plot involving stolen relics and time travel. Gameplay alternates between navigating environments to collect resources and engaging in strategy-focused fights that require balancing attack, defense, and special moves. The game stands out for its quirky charm and time-travel mechanic which lets you backtrack to secure key items. Players often note the humorous side stories like Cody’s repeated clashes with a well-meaning but weak rival trying to fund an orphanage. While the 2001 release date makes it a niche title, fans of classic JRPGs praise its tight combat loops and underdog narrative. The portable format keeps sessions short but progression can feel slow without modern conveniences like save anywhere.

Storyline

Robopon 2 takes place after Robopon 2. Cody washes up on the shore of Baba Village. After recruiting a new Robopon, he sets out to go to the tournament of Legend1 rank holders but is delayed. Dr. Zero has survived the events of the last game thanks to the time-travel of his brother Dr. Zeke and now has the rank Legend0. To fight him, Cody needs to defeat the rank holders of Majiko. While many of them have hidden the XStones needed to battle them, Cody is able to secure them via time-travel. During this, Cody will fight against three Robopon user cyborgs created by Dr. Zero. Finally, Cody often encounters the comically underpowered Nick D who seeks to collect a XStone to sell to support his orphanage and duels with him over them.
