I'll probably sound dumb right now, but what's "Poochy-type character" supposed to mean?
It’s from The Simpsons, a ”Poochy” is a character that comes off as sort of a writer’s pet, trying to replace an existing character or hugging the spotlight, usually to the audience’s chagrin.
Raiden from MGS was similar but people warmed up to him in the end.

Probably didn’t help that people really don’t like X7 in general, I liked Axl more in X8.
 
I see Bass a the Vegeta type of character in the classic series, angry, impulsive, has this rivalry with the main character and what not, while Axl is a different thing, he's more like a teenager trying to look edgy (and ultimately failing) and he's a bit too cheerful. So I just can't see him as Bass' "spiritual successor".
Bass is basically a teenager trying to look edgy, as well, so Axl being his X series equivalent is pretty reasonable.

He wants to be the  strongest
He just doesn't  care that he comes off as edgy.
 
Of course they are.
Mega and X = Blue color; the serious justice maker guy
Proto and Zero = Red color; cold, mysterious character
Blue good little brother
Red cool big brother

It checks out

Indeed both are edgy but in different ways. I think Axl is a lot more cheesy happy-go-lucky while Bass is like a fan of Marilyn Manson who's angry at his parents.

I know, I'm just saying they're different characters individually.
It's like saying Sephiroth is the dark part of Cloud's heart.

KH zoomers that didn't play FF7 ?

And while I think it's neat that you draw these parallels, it's really just something people could compare any characters to, in order to file them into some sort of trope.

Or a Nine Inch Nails fan who listens to Big Man with a Gun and misses the point.

Reminds me of that Nirvana song.
And I  hate Nirvana.

I know that lore-wise they're different characters but one can't deny they're basically like reincarnations of Mega and Proto both in design and personality, which is why I called them counterparts.

Bass is basically a mallgoth.

Like I said, draw your parallels if it makes you happy.

Doesn't make it accurate or the 'only' way to look at it.

No one will change my headcanon that Mega's spirit moved to X, then Model X and finally to Volnutt.

Not even the fact that Mega Man timeline makes no sense and probably isn't even canon anymore? /hj
 
Well in my headcanon X and Zero slowly fall in love with each other after saving each others lives (and the  world) together several times over; it's not like feelings don't develop, even if platonic; I just prefer to think otherwise. ?

But just because I think they make a good couple doesn't mean I go around declaring it canon or spam yaoi of them all over the place. ?

Fake. Zero ends up marrying Alia and X is too busy trying to bring justice to the world to think about these things.
Although X8 tries to sell the idea that Zero x Layer, X x Alia, , Axl x Pallete. But I ignore this entirely since my headcanon has the priority.

I never really saw any kind of chemistry between the whole lot of them in X8, aside from the fact Layer explicitly has a crush on Zero. Zero also either never notices or doesn't seem to care. I'm glad X9 cleared that up alongside the whole Lumine possessing Axl plot thread. excellent game.
