* CharacterPerceptionEvolution: Geo's characterization from the first game was initially received negatively in comparison to his predecessor Lan Hikari, being dismissed as whiny and lacking initiative. However as the years went by and people became more understanding of loneliness and depression, Geo's characterization and [[VindicatedByHistory by extension the entire game]] is considered to be a believable portrayal of depression from losing a loved one, and that his budding friendship with Omega-Xis makes for a interesting story where Geo grows into the role of a hero and learns that he isn't alone in terms of human suffering.

The game series is completely unsubtle about it's message, but considering we live in a time of growing isolation and even friendlessness, that may make it resonate more as people without close friendships or relationships is one of the bigger problems of the modern age.

** Debates over ''who'' is the female lead of the games can be pretty heated. Even outside of shipping discourse, many debate over whether or not Sonia or Luna is meant to be the female lead. Proponents for Sonia point out how her design evokes Mayl from the ''Battle Network'' games, her "Lyra Note" form more traditionally looks like Roll from the original ''Mega Man'', her bond with Geo has more overt focus in the first two games, and she's a consistent ActionGirl across the three entries. Proponents for Luna note that while she was ''initially'' designed as a joke character, it was Geo's relationship with ''her'' that allowed him to unlock "Star Force" and "Tribe On", her concept notes for ''3'' specifically noted her design now taking inspiration from Mayl, her relationship with Geo having more focus in the third game, and post-series content using ''her'' when promoting the various series via their female leads like Roll and Mayl. It doesn't help matters that the ''MM25 Mega Man & Mega Man X Official Complete Works'' book decided to depict ''both'' of them alongside Geo.

A. Luna isn't flat out hated in the west, since she does have plenty of fans still thanks to those aware of the anime and her role, even if minor, in 3. B. If it were a cultural issue only, then that's not The Scrappy, that's just Americans Hate Tingle which would be documented on it's own, as The Scrappy would denote her being hated nigh-universally, not just in one specific region.

** Due to [[AmericansHateTingle cultural differences]], Luna tends to be viewed as this by western fans due to her bitchy, highly strung behavior and {{Tsundere}} behavior making her an unpleasant character to deal with. This itself isn't inherently a problem due to Luna and her friends being people that Geo can't stand until after he frees her from Ophiuca's manipulation. What is a problem is how these traits were flanderized in ''Star Force 2'', making you question why Geo would ever want to be friends with a self-centered domineering bitch who screams and whines when things don't go her way. For what it's worth, Star Force 3 dialed back on all this, even if it meant that Luna didn't get to be as important as promotional art made her out to be.
