This throws all in-game philosophy out the window, I'm talkin about Capcom themselves here. The similarities between Zero and Protoman are obvious, red armor, the hair vs the scarf, comes along and saves Megaman/MMX when he's in danger. I think Zero was made by Capcom to take the place of Proto in the X series. Only thing is, I think Zero was orginally planned for only one game. He started out stronger than X, X gained the light armor and surpassed Zero in power and strenght, and Zero sacrificed himself to save X in the fight with Vile. Zero was dead, and in the epilogue it talks plainly about "those who have sacrificed themselves will never return." But, as typical as these games run, people love that mysterious other guy, and Zero got a HUGE fan base. Capcom couldn't let that go. So, they dream up a way to resurrect Zero, and a fairly decent way I believe. But with the ending of X2, everybody's minds were racing with that one statement. "but...I don't understand....why did Zero....he is.....last of the doctor's creations...." And with that, the entire MMX series is thrown into revolving around Zero, and trying to explain that one statement from Sigma. Think about it, how in-depth is X's plots in the MMX games? Now, compare that to Zero's. How ironic that the MegaMan X games have more to do with Zero than X? These are just my wild, radical ideas. Feel free to trash them, burn them, praise them, whatever. I can't wait to see what gets stirred up around here now....

You strike an interesting point. But I also see that the X series revolved around more than Zero. I made it simple in the below list: X1 = This is the ONLY game the plot revolves around X X2 = X-Hunters come in and steal the spotlight, this is also when Zero eventually takes the spotlight as well from the X-Hunters. X3 = Not quite sure WHAT THE HECK was going on. X4 = Repliforce...Of course. X5 = Dynamo, Sigma AND Zero play a role, X seems left out. X6 = Zero is mostly absent and he still has a revolving plot around him. X7 = I bet it is going to have to do with something about Red Alert Syndicate and Axl, this is probably when the plot will revolve around Axl a bit....But Axl will probably lose the light to Zero. Zero gets all the attention...

To add to your list, and further push my Zero point...
X1: You're right ;D X2: Aside from the basic 8-boss deal, the whole point is to recover Zero's parts X3: Um....AH! First chance to play as Zero X4: Zero's opening video, 'Nuff said. That and the whole Zero/Colonel/Iris deal was way more interesting that X fighting Double X5: You're right again, X is just kinda there so it'll still be "Megaman X" The only thing that faintly includes X is if Zero's shuttle attempt fails, and you get the hell-bent-on-killing-X Zero (I liked that so much better than saying he went Maverick. ;D) X6: Zero's suppose to be DEAD, and then entire game's caked in his name.
As far as X7, I must honestly say I haven't researched a whole lot into the game to make a fair assesment. All I know is at the end of X6, Zero had himself sealed away, and X's side of the story just kinda stopped. I'll be VERY suprised if Zero doesn't play a substantial role in X7.

Zero gets all the attention... i dont know y they would put dynamo in X5 he was weak but i think X5 was the best game also the character switching makes a debut. but i have the feeling that they will replace capcom's mascot megaman(classic) to zero(new look)

Well, its odd, the title is the name of the good guy...yet the plot goes around something else other than the good guy.
Megaman seemed to go around Wily more than it did Megaman himself. Megaman X seems to go around Zero more than X. Megaman Battle Network...Thats self explanatory, cause I'm not sure if it revolves around World Three (WWW) or Lan. Megaman Zero - This is mostly self explanatory, the plot stays on Zero & the resistance, which is good...The bad guys won't get too much attention.

Actually, X would have still been awakened . Dr. Cain didn't go on a dig just so he could save the world by discovery...and harm it later. I'm willing to say X probably fought Zero at some point, but the battle was too short for either X or Zero to remember, either that or they blasted each other clean of their memories, which could explain why Zero is said to have "Seen the light" meaning he could have been modified by Dr. Light. That right there could also explain why X doesn't remember anything about his creator or why he is fighting.

No way proto is zero. First of all look at the personalitys. Towards the end of the X series (mainly X4) zero personality became Darker. Also Protoman used to pop in help X a lil then leave him on his own. (wonder what kept him so busy) And zero fought to the end. Plus I am glad they killed of X he was really gay and the games were you couldnt be zero wer to hard the saber is way better even so zero looks cooler.
