The 1990s anime boom was a major moment for popular culture in general, but it helped supplement the Pokmon craze sweeping the world, leading to impressive and comparable franchises following suit, including Medabots, a real forgotten gem. The term Pokemania is recognizable for anybody spending their youth from the late 90s through the early 2000s. The Game Freak adaptation wasn’t the only anime to capitalize on a Japanese video game franchise, with Medabots being a fond memory for many 90s kids as an action-packed introduction to anime.
