Oh, yes! Another found media (that wasn't lost in the first place but whatever) from my childhood thanks to TV Tropes!
Also, the page looks... old. Lots of examples either have some form of Word Cruft or lack context. There's even the Handsome Lech trope... but it doesn't even describe what character it does apply to!
Oo oo ah ah
This was back in Italy during the summer of 2009, the same time period I was watching Bakugan, Huntik: Secrets & Seekers, and even Mix Masters, the latter of which I rediscovered thanks to you people again. Well, it wasn't the only obscure Mon series that I almost forgot about, that I watched in 2009.
It was a Low Fantasy/Clock Punk-like setting; the characters had these Mons that they could summon from and store in dice-like items. These Mons could have been artificial in nature, and at least The Smart Guy's Mon looked like a robot. I remember it looked like Western animation (as in, it didn't look like an anime), not sure if American or European; it might even had 2D Visuals, 3D Effects.
I didn't see many episodes of it, but I remember one of them pretty well: it involved a city that locked its inhabitants in devices similar to the ones used to keep the Mons, and use them as Living Batteries. The result was a city that was way mote technologically advanced compared to the rest of the setting (it even had vending machines), but was completely empty. The episode ended with the Villain of the Week, that was responsible for the state of this Ghost City, being converted in one of these Living Batteries off-screen. Does that ring any bells to anybody?
