I was gonna say Star Force era but then I realized that it's not much different other than a few technological advancements....So...Battle Network, definatly.

I'm with you, Doc. That plus I just enjoy the generally-lighthearted feel of the setting. Granted, the endgame always darkens up a bit, but it's still nice.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a tremendous geek for Battle Network, for all the reasons Cossack listed and more.

Hmm. I'm not afraid of hardship. I'd live in the recovering world of Mega Man ZX and ZX: Advent, where humans and reploids take on the attributes and virtues of fallen heroes with the power of the Biometal.

The Battle Network one, definately. It'd be kinda hard to adapt to the other worlds and times, and life would be even more hard. As for the rest, my reasons are quite the same as yours Doc.

I'd prefer the ZX timeline. Battle Network has too many kids running around trying to save the world.

Battle Network

no big trouble each year, only the possible destruction of the Net...

but your own Navi sounds great

Legends Series for me. You get explore ruins of ancient civilizations and find relics and such. A trusty navigator would be provided, plus an airship. You could make a pretty good living selling some of them artifacts, provided your airship is always in top condition.

As for those pirates, with a trusty Mega Buster, and various spare arm attachment that include explosives, heavy artillery and advanced technological firearms, I wouldn't have too many worries.

My only real concern would be crazy bureaucrat models and ancients trying to destroy the world or simply trying to wipe out all humanity. But if a simply digger can defeat them, (Mega Man), how hard could it be?

Classic - Seems like a pretty nice world. Wily often causes havoc, but Megaman always takes him down before any real damage is done. Robots would help with development and with maintaining nature, so long as they aren't blowing stuff up.

X - Really bad idea. X and Zero, even as awesome as they are, can barely handle all the problems going on. Even early on in the series, before cataclysmic circumstances start occuring, they still have way too much to handle. War is not a good place to live in.

Legends - Seems like a really nice place. I personally would stay away from digging, as I'm not a fan of having body parts removed by large killer robots. I do really enjoy the idea of having an airship. Besides, Megaman seems to take care of the really nasty problems before too many people are even aware of them. Honestly, the Bonnes usually do more damage to everyday people than the actual villains.

Battle Network - A fairly nice world, I suppose. Frankly, I think I'd always get lost on the net. And it seems like world-threatening events, extreme panic, and random terrorist net-attacks seem to happen far too frequently.

Zero - Eh... Same as, and probably even worse than the X series. Especially after the shuffle in power in Neo Arcadia.

Star Force - Not sure yet. At this point, my Battle Network thoughts seem to cover it fairly well.

ZX - Seems like a rather crazy time period, but certainly a little bit calmer than the X or Zero series.

Overall, I think I'd go with Legends. Mostly for the airships.

Battle Network/ Star Force

I'd pick the star force time era, but overall that Megaman world. Reason being, if you lived out in the country nobody would bug you. Viruses only attack big cities...except Yoka...

I think I'd go with the X timeframe... I think it would be awesome to get to know a Reploid, but Zero/ZX is so... post-apocalyptic... But yeah. I've always had a thing for the idea of sentient machines.
