Mega Man Battle Network 6

Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar and Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Falzar are 2005 tactical role-playing games developed and published by Capcom for the Game Boy Advance (GBA) handheld game console. They are the sixth and final game in the Mega Man Battle Network series, and involves Lan Hikari's family and MegaMan.EXE moving to Cyber City, only to need to once again stop the returning WWW (World Three) and their plans to re-awaken the Cybeasts.

Battle Network 6 marks the end of the Battle Network series, as shown in the ending, although this wasn't initially the case; the developers stated the decision to end the series was only made part-way through development, and after several of the graphics were re-done. The international versions of the games also removed a significant amount of content, primarily due to Konami not localizing Shin Bokura no Taiyō: Sabata's Counterattack for Western territories.

Like with the previous few games, Mega Man Battle Network 6 received a generally tepid reception from critics, who near-universally highlighted lack of improvements from previous installments in terms of graphics and gameplay, although some praised its story. Despite being considered the end of the series, one last game, Rockman.EXE: Legend of Network, released in 2006 in Japan for mobile phones. It was re-released for the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2015, and as part of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection compilation in 2023. A successor to the Battle Network series, titled Mega Man Star Force, also released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS.

Lan Hikari and his family have moved to Cyber City. However, WWW has returned once again and is causing trouble that not the Official NetBattlers and even Eugene Chaud and ProtoMan.EXE can control, so Lan and MegaMan.EXE decides to investigate. Here, Lan and MegaMan discovers that the Cybeast Gregar which is created out of the combination of multiple bugs (like Gospel) and Cybeast Falzar which created as a means to counter Gregar but went out of control, have something to do with a mysterious conspiracy. When a WWW Navi, CircusMan.EXE, captures one of the Cybeasts, MegaMan captures the other Cybeast into his body. Lan and MegaMan must fight WWW and stop whatever they're up to. At first it seems that Baryl and Colonel.EXE were the culprits of the conspiracy, but later in the end he admits that he was working for Dr. Wily himself.

Dr. Wily raised Baryl when his own father was off fighting in a war, and in his kindness for Baryl, he was distracted from his plans for revenge of the Net society. He also created Colonel, the "Perfect Navi" who had the ability to feel kindness and had powers of machine manipulation. However, once Baryl's father, his only true friend was killed in battle, Wily began to feel the past thoughts of revenge and modified Colonel to become a military grade Navi. The other programs were modified into a separate Navi named Iris.EXE. She was to be a military control Navi, until she met Lan, who showed her that humans were not bloodthirsty killers.

As a precaution, Wily planted a program forbidding these Navis to merge by having them explode if they were ever to do so. To hatch his latest scheme to destroy the Net and the world, he built 2 enormous Copybots and installed the Cybeast Gregar and Falzar in them, until Baryl decided what was truly right and began to battle one of the Cybeasts. MegaMan also began to battle the other Cybeast, until in a twist, the Cybeast took over MegaMan's body once again. Colonel and Iris began the risky merging, and with their heightened powers they destroyed the Cybeast from MegaMan's body. However, instead of separating, they sacrifice themselves to destroy the Cybeast once and for all; afterwards, both of the Copybots explode, leaving Cyber City in ruins, and forcing the Hikari family to move back to ACDC Town. As a gift, Baryl, whom was survived and not found in the wreckage, sends Iris's Copybot to Lan, allowing MegaMan to stay in the real world all he wanted.

The final scene flashes forward 20 years in a epilogue as Lan narrates the future of all the characters, including how he married Mayl and had a son named Patch Hikari, as well as and a reformed Dr. Wily creating peace-keeping programs for the internet named Iris and Colonel.

The gameplay of Mega Man Battle Network 6 is largely identical to that of its predecessors. The player explores the real world through Lan Hikari and the Net through MegaMan.EXE. When Lan plugs his PET, a handheld computer, into a computer with an interface jack, he can upload MegaMan.EXE to the cyber network, allowing him to explore and fight viruses as random encounters.
