Need help with Zoids Saga, the first one

[wingy]

OK so firstly I don't speak Japanese but by following a walkthrough I'm going aight.

But my problem is that I have no idea how to assign a pilot to a Zoid. I'm only just up to the bit where Moonbay and Irvine join your party, and I've built a Saber Tiger to chuck Moonbay into but after poking around the menu for like twenty minutes I just don't know where the hell the option to assign pilots to Zoids is. Could someone please help me? Is it like Moonbay can't pilot a Zoid or something??

You can't change Zoids through the Start menu in the first game, you have to go to a Zoid Lab and pick the third option. Also, I have a feeling you might not be able to change the Zoids of guest characters (i.e. anyone besides the main four) until the end of the game, although I could be wrong.
