I had a list of answers for that one. Turns out my knowledge ends at Mega Man 1. I really thought I played 2 and 3, looking at the names, I clearly didn't.

I only knew the Pokemon question from early in season because my boy was so into it back in the day.

Mega Man is a blackhole for me.

I do like my answer, though.

Kids never played it because it came out in 1987. 2 came out in 1988, and 3 was 1990. Looking at the Wikis, there are about 70 Mega Man games. Damn.
