User blog comment:Kagimizu/Pokémon, so... why not Medabots?/@comment-5136106-20120225151232/@comment-1272757-20120225195056

Actually, the anime itself is based on a video game series, a la Pokémon. Would be better if you could look up info on the games. Though, I don't think a Medabots game has been released in the U.S. since 2003.
