What is Bakugan? Should Parents Be Concerned
There is a new Japanese Anime game called Bakugan that kids are going crazy for. The story revolves around the lives of Bakugan and the battle brawlers who brandish them. The TV show was shown in Japan and ran for 51 episodes before coming to the U.S. and showing on Cartoon Network beginning in February 2008. It has since been created into a Bakugan game by Sega consisting of metal trading cards and spring loaded miniature action figure. Kids love to play Bakugan and it is a game that parents should not be afraid of their children being interested in as it gives them a way to interact without video games.
The first step in getting started with Bakugan is the purchase of a Bakugan starter pack. This contains a pack of metal trading cards and a spring loaded action figure. Specifically you will get 6 Bakugan, 8 magnetic Gate cards and a set of instructions. The starter pack is considered a good deal since buying individual Bakugan would cost far more.
Over time your kid will decide what color they will like the best. The starter pack includes Bakugan that are represented by attribute by their various colors. The Earth is represented by Sub-Terra which is brown. Pyrus is red and represents fire. Aquos is blue and represents water, Ventus is green and represents air. The light is represented by Haos and is a white color. Darkus represents darkness and is black.
Over time your kid will choose what their favorite color is and therefore what their favorite Bakugan will be. You will notice which color that your child is more likely to play with. That will allow you be more selective in future purchases of a Bakugan battle pack.
Kids will get much enjoyment out of getting involved with playing Bakugan. They will be forced to use skills that will involve strategy and math. Parents should embrace the game as it will get the kids more involved with their friends and not stuck in front of the TV.
