First off, it\'s true Bass was hit by a sword type battle chip, however, we\'re talking about the games, not the manga, the Games are considered \"Canon\", which means the ultimate official for a ton of types of 1 series where there\'s some that are fakes. Now it\'s true Bass was hit by a sword type battle chip, which is easily indicated by the shape of the scar, however how he survived is the mystery. Some believe he escaped. And sadly Mega X.EXE, you are wrong, there\'s more to Pharaohman then meets the eye. He\'s actually a navi made by the Professor or Dr Wiley to keep nosey navis out of the most important areas of the world 3 or the undernet. In MMBN1, he was probly on the net by the professors orders to see how powerful he was, when he was beaten by Megaman on the net in BN1, he was upgraded by the professor and then put in charge of protecting the Legendary WWW area, this is proven by the fact it was designed in a pharaoh like area, and as you could tell by the previous 3 \"Professor\" Navis, Swordman, Gravityman, and Starman, the professor loves to make areas which the Navis could feel is their \"home\". Swordman had a area where he could lure his enemies off balance by making them think it was a old harmless area. Gravityman is area was a complete maze of gravity controlling pieces like those grand pieces AND the background magnets. Starman is area resembles outter space. Pharaohman is area was made to resemble his area, but anyhow that\'s not the whole deal with Pharaohman, it\'s true in BN1 he had NO storyline relations whatsoever, but it\'s obvious he was doing something or else he wouldn\'t be on the net. My believe is proven in game 2. He plainly states he was enlisted to protect the other Areas of the WWW3 (I consider the WWW from BN1 the WWW1, the GCN game is WWW the WWW2, the BN2 WWW led by planetman) the WWW3, the Battle Network 3 is the WWW4, and the smelly excuse for a world 3 that MR match made was the WWW4.5, since it wasn\'t a real WWW). Since he was also enlisted to protect another WWW area in the GCN game, this gives the belief that he was guarding the areas. More later, I have to log off.
