Mega Man ZX, known in Japan as Rockman ZX (ロックマンゼクス Rokkuman Zekusu) is the first entry in the ZX era, developed by Inti Creates and published by Capcom. The game was first released on the Nintendo DS in Japan in July 2006, then September of the same year in North America and finally June 2007 in Europe.

Set 200 years after the events of the Zero era, the game introduces the M.E.G.A. System (Meta-Encapsulated Granule Awareness), known as R.O.C.K. System (R.O.C.K.システム Rebirth of Crystallized Knowledge), a mechanic that allows the chosen protagonist Aile or Vent to fuse themselves with a Biometal through a process known as Megamerge (ロックオン "R.O.C.K. ON" in Japan) that grants them the abilities and appearance of whom it is based upon.

The game was later re-released as part of the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection on multiple systems, in February 2020.

Enemies

Minor Enemies

Name	Sprite	Description	HP	Damage	Stage(s)
Angle Cannon		This Mechaniloid's tough armor can repel any attack. Its powerful attack can also blast through any armor. However, every Achilles has a heel...			Area E, Area I, Area O
Auto Counter		When hit, this Mechaniloid rains fire down on the surrounding area. It was originally designed for incinerating garbage, but is now being used for evil purposes.			Area G, Area K, Area O
Auto Counter		This Mechaniloid was originally designed to be a vending machine, but with a little tinkering it has been transformed into a strange weapon that rains junk food down on enemies when hit.			Area H
Bambooloss		This plant Mechaniloid is found in the forests of Innerpeace. Its roots are so deep that it's rumored all of them are connected to a single source.			Area A
Beanball		The principles of leverage are employed with this rock throwing Mechaniloid. If it manages to build up enough energy, the flaming rocks it hurls are enough to punch through walls and cause an explosion on impact.			Area K
Bee Rockets		These bee Mechaniloids are very territorial. They tend to travel in groups and are willing to sacrifice themselves for other members. On occasion, they will use their combined heat to trigger an explosion.			Area G, Area I, Area K
Bora Bora		This fish Mechaniloid eats microbes, converting them to energy, and this helps clean the water making it quite environmentally friendly. However, it is not so friendly to enemies that enter its territory.			Area F, Area J, Area K

Bosses

In this game, most of bosses are Pseudoroids, that contains the power of biometals in battle, but it's not true.
