I miss this game so much I forgot how fun it was

[@needsabettername5862]

The ABSOLUTELY OP combo in this game is to pick the weakest monster (the snake one) and throw it on a card that switches the attack power of the bagukan, you LITERALLY can't lose if you do this.

[@blackwingdragonmasta]

Power rarely matters in this game. If you win the minigame you just win regardless

[@fatalno3375]

​@@blackwingdragonmasta yea but like if you have the attack advantage than you don't need to be trying your absolute best on things like the sticks or button press

[@startea0412]

​@@blackwingdragonmastayes, but if opponent (or you) has too much g power you(or opponent) lost in any cases.

[@ArtsyMagic239]

This was one of my main strats and I always kept Serpenoid with Monarus, Siege, and Leonidas on my main team because of it. It's especially powerful if you throw it out first since the opponent always starts with their strongest + the character bonus card. Then you pull out the swap ability card after they finish powering up and watch their dreams be zapped away with their power!

[@esteban8471]

​@@blackwingdragonmastaThat's in the DS version. In the console versions, the G power actually mattered.

[@thetruth3068]

This game is still the best Bakugan game to this day. Leonidas is still a fan favorite bakugan even though he never officially shows up in any canon story. And every time Leonidas shows up in an announcement, it's always a hype moment.

[@blackwingdragonmasta]

If I remember correctly the ds version came with a Leo Bakugan

[@cxthednalien]

​@@blackwingdragonmasta Nope Unfortunately.... Leonidas never got a toy based off the game design Atleast we got a leonidas in the reboot

[@bearerofbadnews1375]

This leonidas is the best in the original game. To bad he is weak as hell in the reboot game champions of Vestrioa. Despite being a golden Bakugan which is suppose to be the strongest Bakugan he is weak to all types of Bakugan expect gold, but he is the only golden Bakugan in the game who designed this!?

[@Rahnonymous]

Yeah, but if you aren't playing the DS version, you're objectively playing it wrong

[@animatepokemonadventures7889]

@@blackwingdragonmasta Iirc it was actually Naga that the ds game came with. I think I had it myself but it was literally over a decade ago so I can’t remember.

[@JR384]

I desperately want a remake of this game. Definitely the best of the "Insert your own Fanfiction OC and watch them beat everyone!" era of games. Plus Leonidas is just a killer fuckin' Bakugan. Imagine this game getting a remake, and then getting sequels based on the additional seasons of the anime. I just think it'd be awesome to see all this in HD.

[@funsies8107]

For real, Leonidas has to be one of the best Partner characters out of all Pokemon-esque media i've seen (by that i mean the dynamic of a young boy/girl with an animal/monster that accompanies them) because he's just built different, get that friendship crap outta here, we gotta rock the shit out of those people and everything will be fine, bro was literally born and chose violence seconds later

Mass effect

[@WarriorofRed]

This was definitely one of the best parts of the game. Not gonna lie, I really don't like the 'silent protagonist' thing. I know why they do it, but it just leaves us with a dude/girl with no personality and ends up making them usually the most boring character in the game.

I played this game a lot on my xbox360. Didn't know it was released on so many consoles.

[@s.c.u.m3501]

What a nostalgia trip, I remember I used to play this on my 3ds and had to hide under my blanket and pretend I was sleeping so my mom wouldn't catch me playing this through the night

[@thecatastrophe132]

There’s something hilarious about doto being semi family friendly when playing DBFZ but the moment he starts playing bakugan he tells dan to fuck off every time he goes onscreen

[@pokemonmc7798]

The story in this game was actually pretty solid for Bakugan. I completely finished this game as a kid, maxed out my rankings on the leaderboard to 999999 and maxed out every Bakugan. This game on the DS as a kid was so much fun so its nice to see it being run back. If this game had a multiplayer function for 2 or 4 players it would've actually been a fun little party game.

[@DeitySkullKid]

It IS 4 players, you can each pick from any character you've unlocked, with their current deck story wise Only ONE person can pick each character, including your character, which can have an utterly broken deck For instance, get a fire serpenoid, unupgraded, and use the gate card that swaps g power, later in the game this winds up with your opponent having only 150+ g power and you from 800-1200 usually, so you always win no matter what

[@MayHugger]

It does have a multiplayer function, you can see the option in the same screen where you pick story.

[@pokemonmc7798]

@@DeitySkullKid I meant moreso a wireless local/internet based multiplayer. I played the DS version. It's not big enough to share with other ppl.

[@crazyboy916ful]

I remember playing this game on DS, and it was addictive. The minigames were fun to play and it was fun to see that your character and Leonidas had an actual relationship. Also love that each arena had different ways to power up and ways to move around.

You definitely have to keep going with this game, it’s definitely made for a younger audience with the easy mini games but they’re pretty challenging late game as far as I can remember back then. My poor ds got snapped in the middle of one because of how hard I was trying then lol

RIght? Especially if you were Haos like me and therefore got a major disadvantage at the final battle.

@@ArtsyMagic239 Ugh I remember doing a Haos run before. Now that was the extra difficulty attribute. Although honestly I’m a Darkus fan all the way. Besides being edgy when I was younger, I always thought Darkus fit the theme of the distrusted, mystery bakugan the game had. Especially since this was before the whole Masquerade thing.

[@gingerale3148]

My heart stopped when I heard the title screen music. I played this game all the time as a kid on my DS (beat it 100% on every element) and owned a shit ton of bakugan.

Maaaaan you unlocked a buried memory that I loved, I was super young playing this on the DS for god knows how long. Game was goated 🐐

[@astralguardian5930]

This is a game I remember so much, I remember I did Darkus bakugan for my run (mostly because honestly Black and Purple is probably my favorite color combo, and also because no one else uses it among the Bakugan Brawlers. So why not be the Darkus Rep? Oh and it makes their suspicions about you feel a little more logical, since most assume Darkus as "evil"). Also Leonidas is just such a simple yet cool design, too bad I don't think it's ever been made real outside of a redesign made later. So the Leonidas you see here is an "exclusive" Bakugan to this game.

[@ebonslayer3321]

It also highlights how similar he is to the main antagonist later down the line. A lot of the point is they aren't terribly different.

When the cpu hits hard difficulty the game becames really smooth, seeing you playing it was nice. good vibes

[@blazypoo1723]

The 3DS version of this game was a bit harder. CPUs weren't braindead, and everyone has a 1 shot KO ability that instantly wins you the game just by standing a Bakugan. Well, most of them did anyway. Pyrus was a rocket that flew at it's gate card at fucking light speed, and if it hit another bakugan it was an instant K.O. Subterra rockets into the sky, and instantly K.O's any bakugan on the card, doesn't even have to hit them. Aquos let you move at normal speed, but if you hit another bakugan with your power it was an instant K.O. I forgot what Haos did. I forgot what Ventus did. Darkus let you become immune to everyone else's abilities. Bakugan even phase through you.
