hi... and yes, Im a n00b here.
anyway, I was thinking, megaman legends is most likely what happens after the zero series, correct?
well, I think I know who created all the reaver bots(sp?)... in megaman X, Dr. light seems to still be alive (beat mm x5 & 6 to see what IM saying) although they are most likely androids or cyborgs (for one way to see they can still actively think, in MMX6 go to a capsule as zero to see a discussion...) so, if light is a robot now, is it not possible for him to still eb alive long after the zero series?
if so, he might have created elysium and all of the androids/reaverbots!
he DOES still haev a solid body somewhere...
(MMX spoiler)
not sure if its X6 or X5, but after the end as megaman, he is damaged... no one can fix him, however you can see the blue Light hologram speaking at the end, and he seems to fix X. beat them... Im not lying...
(end spoiler)
I think that Dr. Light created elysium becasue something worse then what happened in X5 happened to earth, leaving barely any land left, but then something happened to his perfect computer system (virus or wily or something? there is quite possibly a reference to wily living in megaman X5...)
so, what do the rest of you think? I think this might be why capcom is waiting until after the X and zero series to continue the legends series... Ive really been deeply thinking about all the series in general...
I think legends will have all the answers to what happened to the original megaman, wily, and dr. light by the end of the series, personally...
(off-topic)
this is kinda off topic, but I thought I should say that I theorized that megaman battle network is connected too, buit it is the alternate reality of megamn original, where the net navi program was chosen instead of wilys robot program... I again have found a miniscule quote from the end of the first game that may support this... and no, I have no life outside of video games and computers and programming. lol.

I try not to worry too much about the separate series' inter-connectivity. Obviously, there's some links, you can read some of them on the Station site.
If I were to guess, assuming the BN series is supposed to fit into the continuity, I'd say that it happens first, and that Lan is Dr. Light when he was a kid. That, of course, would make Dr. Wily like, immortal, or something, but even if you take it the other way (Lan is Dr. Light's grandson) it would make him very, very old.
The reason I think it works the first way is because there are no robots in the BN continuity.

If they tried really hard, and outright ignored a few blaring plot holes they could probably make it all fit, but I like them better as different stories, like the original proto man rather than that other red wearing guy with long blond hair who I thought was a girl until I rented MMX8. The core is the same, Megaman kills all bad robots, but in Legends the bad guys are more humorous, the girls are cuter, and (especially MML2) playing the game through and paying attention is like living a movie, or reading a novel, the plot is deep, directly dependent, meaning consistent, with each game (a few questions have surfaced, but nothing huge) and there could be raging debates of whether Megaman should go with Roll or Tron. In short Legends isn't good it GREAT! ! !
Returning to source, you can try making a super MM timeline, but don't go to crazy, heaven knows it just a game, no matter how much we love it, cosplay it, or make commitments to write letters to capcom about it.

As for what I say, Legends is perfect as is. Don't go screwing it up with cross overs from other series. It'd just kill my love for the game.

Hehehe, then stop reading this tread because I just remembered I've read a really good fanfiction where X series and MML are interconnected. It was with MM still stuck in space and he encounters X and he's part of the place or something. It was LONG ago when I read it but maybe someone else remembers it too.

...So are we gonna have theories here? I think it went kind of like this: Battle Network (because the Navis very well could be the first working... uh, thingies that have their own minds...) the original Megaman series (because the Navis could have been given robotic bodies?) the X series (makes sense to put it there.  ) The Zero series (because it OFFICIALLY comes after that) ...Then comes Legends. That's just my idea. Maybe leik, the reploids had a war with the humans, and the humans were all wiped out except for the Master, who used his DNA to make carbons. The Reploids became the servitors, purifiers, and stuff. ....uh, yeah! it could happen! |

I know for a fact that these series are connected, in this order:
MegaMan
MegaMan X
MegaMan Zero
MegaMan Legends
The only series that doesn't seem to fit is Battle Network. The Wily from Battle Network starts his reign of evil differently than he does in the original. The only reason I could see it fit is if it came in between Zero and Legends (or after Legends), and the entire human race was wiped out by a Carbon Reinitialization Program and rebuilt. Then you'd have to explain what happened to all the ruins, since they first appear historically in Zero.
Otherwise, I believe that Battle Network would have to be in a separate dimension. There are no other explanations I can think about.

I had a vision once where God or somebody told me that Dr. Light was secretly Santa Claus in disguise. Turned out every Christmas, he'd stick a red clown nose on Proto Man's nose and force him to lead an eight-robot sleigh on a worldwide present-giving flight.
"On Cut Man
On Guts Man
On Bomb Man and Ice Man!
On Fire Man
Elec Man
On Mega Man
and...Yard Man, too!" (He wouldn't dare try to force Roll to pull the sleigh, would he?)
Proto Man doesn't count as part of the "eight" robot sleigh. He is the ninth, and just like always, doesn't get any credit.
Apparently, Dr. Light and his talented workforce of Hardhat Robots make all of the toys in their secret underground Monstropolis factory.
Anyway, I know this to be a fact because I was told it by an angel, but not David Boreanaz, who PLAYED Angel, 'cause that kind of dream would be telling me something else entirely about myself, wouldn't it?

Uh-oh, I think reality sickness. I had the same thing but with Sailor Moon a few years ago. First you start thinking it can be real, then you start thinking it might be real, then next thing you know angles are telling you the negaverse is coming and if you don't pull together the sailor scout in time...! *Shudders* Oh brother, everybody. Lets not go crazy. I personally think, going on the very beginning phrase of the first game, that its far in the future, that Legends is earth in a thousand years or so, after the ice caps have melted, technology is beyond our wildest dreams, and war decimated the human race to a point the few remaining humans "dubbing" themselves the master race, clone humans for whatever reason, and the story picks up from there. But all the same this is in the world of Fiction. Sort of like in AI (? the show where the robot kid actually loves his mommy,) that is one possibility in the world of fiction, but it probably won't happen like that. Truth be told if they are connected then its probably just Capcom trying to make an extra buck, in some ingenious marketing way so . |

I think RMPM states that MML takes place "several thousand years after the X series." Hopefully, fab will come to back me up on that.

...You know, what with that global warming thing and all, that "world covered in endless water" could happen, in theory. Yeah, it's stupid. It's an interesting thought, though. |

Remember, global warming is just a myth perpetuated by government scientists to get you to drive less. There's never been any actual proof.
As far as continuity goes, I don't think it's too big of a deal that we try to tie in the Legends series to the others. As far as I'm concerned, it could be a gaiden and I wouldn't care (as long as they make some more freakin' GAMES).
