As for bakugan, I think their numbers are not as big as pokemon, but the way bakugan is played is slightly different from that of pokemon. Pokemon is mainly played via its pokemon trading card game, whereas for bakugan you can play it with your own bakugan monsters which are curled up in magnetic balls that will open up when it interacts with games cards that have metal inside them. To play bakugan, it is optional but good to have a bakugan bakubowl arena for you to highlight the battling ground. This way you can not only demarcate the arena but also have a place to store your gate cards as well as unused bakugan.

To conclude, playing bakugan is really one of the latest fads in town. Most important of all, if you are on a budget, you can play bakugan with a low startup; it is seriously a cheap toy to play with if you get what I mean. Not to mention that if you are not interested in the game, you can just play with the bakugan monsters as normal toys.
