Bakugan Battle Brawlers Information

The story begins when a series of unusual cards fall to earth and are picked up by children around the globe.

These mysterious cards prompt the children to create a game that they called "Bakugan" which was intended to just be for fun, but little did they know their every action would have an effect on both the human world and the alternate dimension that the Bakugan came from called "Vestroia".

Each one of these cards represented a character, a special power or an environment.

Vestroia is a vast dimension composed of 6 attribute worlds: Fire, Earth, Light, Darkness, Water and Wind. At the very center of this universe there are two opposing energy cores- "The Infinity Core", the source of all positive energy and "The Silent Core", the source of all negative energy. Throughout history, these two opposing forces had maintained the balance of equilibrium in Vestroia.

Unfortunately, there was one Bakugan who desired to control all of the negative power within Vestroia. His name was Naga. In order to do so, he would need to penetrate "The Silent Core" to claim its power.

When "the Silent Core" claims an Earth scientist named Michael and distributes its power to him, transforming him into the evil Hal-G, Hal-G and Naga make a deal in which Hal-G would give Naga the Earth world in exchange for Naga giving him all of Vestroia.

Upon agreeing, Naga does end up beginning to absorb the negative power of "the Silent Core", but it causes "the Infinity Core" to explode resulting in pure chaos throughout Vestroia.

As Vestroia begins to collapse, the human world is also affected. The "Infinity Core" and "the Silent Core" are interfering with one another and starting to run wild. Now it is up to Dan and the other Battle Brawlers to find the Infinity Core and reunite it with the Silent Core to restore balance. What was initially thought of as "just a game" becomes a race to restore peace throughout the universe!

Dan

Dan is the leader of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. He's a twelve year old boy who is more street smart than book smart and is always looking for adventure. Dan wears his emotions on his sleeve. He is quick to react in situations and at the same time, quick to temper. Dan's life revolves around Bakugan, with his greatest ambition to become the number one ranked Bakugan player in the world. He is the master of the power play and uses fire attributes in battle.

Drago

Pyrus Drago, is Dan's guardian Bakugan. He is a gigantic dragon-like Bakugan from "Pyrus": a space attributed to fire. He is one of the most powerful species living in Vestroia, able to infinitely evolve on his own. In battle, his power is to radiate intense heat from his body, dissolving everything around him. He is the leader of the Bakugan; a true knight with strong convictions and a deep friendship with Dan.

Runo

Runo is a tomboy through and through. As a twelve year old, Runo isn't your typical pre-teen girl. She loves playing Bakugan with the boys! Runo can be a sore loser and her battling can be inconsistent. She sometimes gets in the way of her team members. Runo has a crush on Dan (although she wouldn't admit it) and is jealous of Julie. In battle she uses light attributes.

Tigrerra

Haos Tigrerra is Runo's Bakugan. She is from the "Tigrerra Species" living in "Haos": a space attributed to light. Inside her body is a gigantic blade, capable of cutting any substance in the human world. She is very human in nature and trusts Runo completely: prepared to protect her no matter what. Tigrerra can also evolve.

Shun

Shun is the strong silent type. Along with Dan, Shun co-created the rules and regulations of Bakugan and is a master of the game. Shun is a loner, a boy of very few words, yet is willing to help his friends at every turn. He approaches the game like a Ninja warrior, very calculating. Shun uses the wind attributes in battle.

Skyress

Ventus Skyress is a bird-beast life form and is Shuns' Bakugan. She is from the "Skyress Species", living in the space attributed to wind: "Ventus". Skyress has a gigantic wing span and numerous long tails. At the tip of her tails there are sharp feathers. She is clairvoyant and can see through objects; however, the ultimate ability of the Skyress species is the ability to resurrect. She can also evolve.

Julie

Julie may come off as a bit scattered, but she can compete with the best of them at Bakugan. Julie would best be described as a little princess and in conversation she can be a little vacant. She's bubbly, extroverted and adores Dan! She is his number one fan. Julie lives in the isolated Bakugan Valley. She is a master of direct attacks and uses Earth attributes in battle.

Gorem

Subterra Gorem is Julies' guardian Bakugan. He is from the "Gorem Species" living in "Subterra": a space attributed to earth. His entire body is composed of exceptionally hard cell bodies, which makes him a Bakugan with a very heavy body. He is gentle and obedient but when he is angry no one but Julie can calm him down. Like Drago, Subterra Gorem can also evolve.

Marucho

For an eleven year old, Marucho is wise beyond his years. Studious, he studies the strategy of Bakugan as well as being a bit of a walking encyclopedia. Marucho is the only son of a millionaire. In the Bakugan battles, Marucho devises strategy based on in-depth data analysis but sometimes misjudges his spur-of -the-moment decisions based only on data. As a sidekick to Dan, Marucho helps work out which Bakugan would be best to pit against one's opponent. He worries about all of the Brawlers, but especially Dan. Marucho is a master of combination play, and uses water attributes in battle.

Preyas

Aquos Preyas is a chameleon-like Bakugan and is Maruchos' guardian Bakugan. He is from the "Preyas Species" living in "Aquos": a space attributed to water. Preyas has the ability to change his molecular structure, due to his peculiar nucleus, to take on the characteristics of all of the attributes: fire, earth, light, darkness, water and wind. In contrast to his appearance he has a very quirky sense of humour. He is completely dedicated to Marucho.

Alice

Alice is a 14-year-old girl from Moscow who never battles but gives information to the other brawlers. She is the granddaughter of Michael (Hal-G) and shows concern for her grandfather and wishes to rescue him.

This girl does prove to have a dark side though...

Joe

Joe joins the Brawlers during season 2 of bakugan. He was the creator of the websites that the rest of the brawlers used to communicate with each other online.
When the brawlers first meet him, he is ill in the hospital and they think he is working for masquerade.

Wavern

Joe is the owner of "Wavern", Naga's sister and the embodiment of the Infinity Core. She helps to heal Joe. She is considered a Haos bakugan and is one of the most powerful bakugans one can own.

What you need to get started:

• A Bakugan Gate Card


• A Bakugan Ball

Beginning Gameplay:

1. Each person must lay at least one gate card face down on a flat surface.


2. When 2 brawlers stand on a gate card, battle takes place.


3. If playing by Series 1 rules, the player with the highest total G-Power is the winner
   
   TOTAL G-POWER = G-POWER RATING + G-POWER BOOST
   
   In series 2, the objective is simply to capture 3 of your opponent's gate cards.


4. The battling stops when all cards have been captured.

Some basic rules to keep in mind:

• The Bakugan Ball will only open and your character will only "stand" if you land on a Bakugan Gate Card.


• You must shoot your Bakugan Battle Brawlers from a minimum of 2 card lengths away.


• The youngest player shoots first.


• The winner of a battle goes first in the next round.


• If you stand 2 brawlers on a card you automatically capture that card.


• If after a battle the total G-Power is a tie, 'sudden fury' ensues. This is similar to sudden death in a football penalty shootout, the first player to stand their brawler on the card with the other player failing to do so wins the battle. If you both stand on the card or both miss, shoot again until a winner is established.

Game Strategy and Setup

Selection is extremely important when engaging in a Bakugan Battle Brawl. Selecting your best Bakugan Battle Brawlers and suitable gate cards will give you the advantage in any battle. Below are the rules that you must bear in mind when preparing for battle%u2026

- A battle may take place between 2-4 players

- You must select your 'deck' of brawlers and gate cards that you are going to use before you start battle commences. This means you must make your choices wisely.

• Each player must select a minimum of 3 bakugan brawlers and 3 gate cards to use.


• All players must start with the same amout of brawlers and cards.


• A 'deck' of cards may have 1 special ability card only (your special ability card cannot be the first card a player lays down).

- Take it in turns to place your cards onto a flat surface face (sector side) down, 1 card each at a time. You must lay cards down furthest from you and each card must touch another card on 1 full side, as shown below:

(they must line up "neatly")

Now that the arena is set, let's brawl!

Each player shoots a bakugan warrior. Remember to take it in turns clockwise from the first player to shoot (the youngest!)

Shoot your Bakugan

- If your Bakugan Battle Brawler does not stand on a card, collect it from the playing area. You then miss a turn to battle until next time and it is then the turn of the player on your left.

- If your Bakugan does stand on a card, it is left there until another player's warrior lands on the same card, then battle commences (shown above).

- If you land 2 brawlers on a single card, you automatically win the gate card and keep your 2 brawlers.

• If you have no Bakugan left, you must skip your turn. You may not choose to skip your turn if you have any Bakugan left.

Once a shot has been made, that player may choose to add another card from their gate card pile to the battle ground. You should do this if you want to capture a Bakugan Battle Brawler from another player by battling on it at a later time in the game.

Remember,in the series 1 game, the player with the highest total G-Power is the winner:
TOTAL G-POWER = G-POWER RATING + G-POWER BOOST

If playing the series 2 game, the first person to capture 3 of their opponent's gate cards wins.

* The winner collects the gate card and the opponents battle brawler *

* If playing the series 1 version, when you capture a gate card, you should keep it in a separate pile to your battle cards, this is so that you can easily add up your HSP (Holo Sector Points) to calculate the overall game winner *

If after a battle the total G-Power is a tie, 'sudden fury' ensues. This is similar to sudden death in a football penalty shootout, the first player to stand their brawler on the card with the other player failing to wins the battle. If you both stand on the card or both miss, shoot again!

Ending of the game

The battling stops when all cards have been captured.
Each Bakugan that you have is worth 100HSP. The captured cards HSP is the total HSP shown in the bottom right hand corner of each card you captured in battle.
TOTAL HSP = BAKUGANS HSP + CAPTURED CARDS HSP

Since this seems to be a common question by visitors here, I just wanted to say that there is not a game that allows for Bakugan competition online yet... There ARE, however, a couple online games host at the bakugan website that are extremely fun to play!
