Looks like this is in the vein of Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side, where a male-oriented franchise is given a redesign to appeal to female audiences.

This was not how I expected to see Medabots again.

I was going to be dissapointed, reading the game's title then op...but I scrolled down and yes! You can play as a girl!
Might very well get back into medabots if it comes to NA. Don't know what the chances are for this franchise anymore.

Is this like how Harvest Moon made a separate version for girls before they just put both genders into one game?

Confused by responses. What does it having girls mean?

Looking at the amount of girls, it basically means they're adding waifus to pander to a certain crowd so they can try and make the ip relevant.

Oh.
I thought this was a property aimed a kids like yo kai watch or something.

See, I saw the title and thought "oh, so it'll have a female protagonist and touch on themes like modern sexism and empowerment and whatnot that's kinda cool" and then I opened the thread and it was like "right, Japan."
EDIT:
Huh, guess I shoulda kept reading. Interest renewed.

It is aimed at kids, the original anime (and the games that made to the west) are sort of like a Saturday morning cartoon where almost nothing is taken seriously.

That's why I confused because I didn't think they would have that "stuff" in game for kids.
Maybe its trying to get a new audience.

I need more information before straight up condemning it a low hanging fruit
Well it has online co-op, that will be cool.
It is cute that you think this would make it better.
Came into the thread thinking female PC, myself.
But the art and description make me think.... Yeah.....
It is.

I've no problem with this, as long as it doesn't go into the touchy~feely~needlessly~yuri category of things.
Games that have such a focused theme for their characters, are a good time to explore more archetypes for the roles, than a more normal work would allow. It'd be great to see a few more race, age, and cultural representations filling out the cast here.
I know DIgimon has had it's moments of service and awkward sexuality / suggestive content, but has Medabots gone there in any form, yet?

It had a referee called Mr. Referee and he always appeared when there was a fight no matter where it took place. He was cool.

Not as cool as PHANTOM RENEGADE, the secret identity of Henry, who also had a whole other secret identity called SPACE MEDAFIGHTER X, where he battled with his pal Arcbeetle who finished opponents off after they prepared themselves for the power of the midnight sun...the pillar of fire...the... PROMINENCE
god I loved that show

If they allow to buy food that the Medabots can then eat, then they've got them in the bag. Women love to eat, after all.

My favorite was the Phamtom and no one figuring out who he was despite the store clerk basically spelling it out on every situation.
Oh wow henry how did you get that cut that in your nose that is suspiciously similar to the cut the phamtom got?
"Shaving"
Seems legit.
And this news keeps getting better

When in doubt, waifus.
Because waifus sell (at least in Japan).

Space Meda Fighter X better show up, all I'm sayin'.
I'm actually surprised Medabots is still a thing in Japan...

I liked when his golden mask cracked as if his secret identity was going to be revealed, but then he just had the regular white mask underneath.
Also, Yoh Yoshinari, a prominent animator from Gainax, worked on the first season of the anime.
