Summary

Robopon 2 Ring Version builds on the quirky charm of its Game Boy Color predecessor by keeping the "GB Kiss" infrared port, which lets you wirelessly trade Robopons and even use household remote controls to power‑up or evolve your creations. The mechanic feels like a retro‑era cheat code, turning everyday gadgets into secret game tools.

In this sequel, you spark new Robopons by mixing different battery types, each combination spawning a unique creature that you can recolor to suit your style. Battles have expanded to four‑on‑four, so positioning and targeting specific foes become a tactical puzzle rather than a simple tag‑team. The added depth makes each encounter feel fresh, even after you’ve collected a few hundred species.

Critics gave the game an average Metacritic score of 70, noting that while the infrared novelty was gone, the title still shines with over 180 new Robopons, four‑player mini‑games, and roughly three times the exploration area of the original. Nintendo Power praised these upgrades, and GameSpot even named it the second‑best GBA release of August 2002.

Storyline

Robopon 2 Ring Version picks up after the first game, when Cody – now the top Legend of Porombo Island – sets sail for new lands. A storm wrecks his boat and he washes up on the continent of Majiko, only to discover he has left his Robopon behind. Determined to become the Robopon champion of this region, Cody must hunt down the unique XStones and challenge the rank‑holders that guard them.

The XStones are scattered across time, so Cody is forced to jump between the present and a world twenty years in the past to retrieve them. Many of the Majiko rank‑holders have hidden the stones, but his time‑traveling efforts eventually secure the needed items. Along the way he confronts three cyborg Robopon users engineered by the revived Dr. Zero, who now holds the mysterious Legend0 rank thanks to his brother Dr. Zeke’s temporal meddling.

Dr. Zero’s ultimate plan forces Cody to defeat the rank‑holders of Majiko in order to face the villain himself. While battling these elite trainers, Cody also runs into the hapless Nick D, a comically under‑powered youngster who collects XStones to sell and fund his orphanage. Their duels add a light‑hearted side‑quest amid the high‑stakes tournament.

By gathering every XStone, overcoming the cyborgs, and out‑witting Dr. Zero, Cody aims to claim the title of Majiko’s champion and restore balance to both timelines.
