Anime/cartoon with kids battling with robots in a game
So I watched this as a kid, best guess was around the early 2000’s. It was dubbed in Cantonese so the actual show might be older.
The show follows a couple of kids and some professor type character. They play this game where they are booted into a virtual world, similar to the way Matrix works, and they pilot these robots/mech suits and fight. I remember that the kids end up getting hurt in the real world if they take a lot of damage in the virtual world. If memory serves me right, they enter the world in an observatory/ radar looking building in a canyon/ mountain environment. I think towards the end of the show, the virtual world somehow clashes with the real world so they have to fight to save reality or something.
Specific details I remember are:
The main guy, black hair kid rides a skateboard. Maybe it was a hover board? (It’s not Eureka 7) I think he accidentally stumbles into the group that plays the game. I think his robot was white and red. I think the 1st episode of the show started with him jumping through the turnstyle in a subway and escapes with his board from security. He ends up booting a hoverboard for his robot in the last battle.
Another main guy, blonde kid. He pilots a green robot and is like the pro of the game.
Then a girl, I think she has pink hair. Her robot was all red (I think) She admires the gameplay of the blonde kid but doesn’t know what he looks like. I think she was shocked when they finally meet each other.
I hope these details will help identify the show. It’s really been bugging me in the back of my mind.

Please Let me be Wrong... But I think you're describing the travesty that is Bast of Syndrome. Most of what you say could be from the first Episode. Girl Pink hair, Boy Black Hair, Boy #2 Blond, hover boards common, all are super gameres, picked by a scientist to play secret game in a observatory/ radar looking building in a mountain like environment. It's from 2001.
My only Counter is that I don't remember them getting physically hurt in the 8 or so episodes I got thru before giving up.
I try not to put opintion in a post but I mention its not that good because of stuff like, at one point in the show, which is very eary CGI-animation-replacement on the cheap;
- a Character's mouth freezes while they are talking, and a new mouth get super imposed on top. very creepily.
- In another scene they zoom in a shot from up on the mountain, to a close up of a character who's far away, but to do so the CGI simply zooms in on the entire scene, to a giant pixelated background.
While My club does have it on DVD it's so badd, that no one has ever made it thru the whole thing. In fact our purchased-new DVD#6-case shipped with a Disk#5 in it, and no one has bothered to get it fixed. So be weary if you try to get it on DVD in the US (ADV)
I also read your description to someone else and they locked on to Bast as well without any prompting. And Neither of us have seen it in 15+ years.
