Well, it goes like this. First game is the Hikari game and it's stand-alone for the most part. Wonderswan version is the best version featuring high details sprites and portraits.

2-4 are the Ikki games, they're placed a few years after the first game but it's not like you have to play it to understand anything. It's just cooler because you know Hikari is a badass. It's not recommended to play any of these games out of order because of reoccuring characters and gameplay improvments that would make reverting harder. Medarot 2 actually got an updated remake on the GBA which is also the only Medarot RPG localized.

Medarot 5 is a sad story, devolopment cut early and they had to ship the game so despite having a lot of potential it's pretty incomplete and it feels like it. Still reccomended if you can.

Fun fact, but the localized version of G (Medarot AX) is pretty much a different game. They switched the entire cast and bots to fit the anime that was aired in the US so instead of Koishimaru and the other guys you get Ikki.

I played Medarot 1-5. Really quite an amazing series. Best played on an emulator because some of the battles or grind benefit from having a fast forward button but otherwise fantastic series.

5 is an ocean of wasted potential. I heard the team ran out of money and had to finish the game at some point and it honestly feels like that. Game ends so suddenly that I was left with an open mouth.

Also, top tier waifus.
