[@officersoulknight6321]

I think they should make a limit on how many gimmicks you’re allowed to use in a deck. Maybe a rule of plastic; Say, you can only use 3 non-bakugan pieces of plastic. Also, In my games as a custom rule, you’re gonna have to drop your geogan with one eye closed and at a level height. For now, I’m on team ‘chill its not a big deal’, but if hasbro makes another support piece class in the next set, I’m gonna switch sides.

honestly i'm not too worried.. I'm a collector so i've just been buying every version of the bakugan and will continue though I also like to play the TCG and in that aspect I think an easy solution is simply update the rule to allow only 1 or 2 Geogan per deck. And I definetly like the simplicity of just needing the deck of cards and the 3 bakugan so maybe by implementing an actual skill check like an actual reroll or other would make the use of Geogan more significant in the TCG. I live in Quebec Canada and not many people here are actually interested in the Bakugan TCG sadly but it is very fun to play with my friends that I could introduce the game to ^^ JettKuso, Thank you for making these videos and not only being fun to watch but also informative and helping the comunity understand this game :)

I'm a brand new Bakugan player (as in I just got home from the store with my first starter pack and a few boosters earlier today). I also have to wear glasses and have a nerve disorder in my hands that causes pretty bad hand tremors that make fine motor skills very difficult. I definitely think it's good that you brought up disabilities and the possible challenges that disabled people face, and I can see how this mechanic of the game can raise the barrier to entry for some players. As I'm just joining the Bakugan scene, I'm not familiar of any disabilities accommodations that exist, but I think that with some tweaks the game could be more inclusive. I know the legacy series had those wrist things that shot out the bakugan for you, so maybe have a tool that players could use that can help them roll the bakugan (the mental picture I have in my head is at bowling alleys how they have those rails that can help small kids or disabled people roll the ball if it's too heavy for them). As for the Geogans, maybe having some kind of measuring or alignment tool to help guide their eyes and hands during the process.

[@FisforFenton]

I haven't ever played Bakugan but have played warhammer 40k so seeing more toys show up in a game isn't that big of a deal and if there were a more advanced version of Bakugan with more figures and maybe terrain that would be cool, but then it's no longer a game for kids were getting into more of minifig game for people with disposable income.

I too am worried that the reboot might head down the "Mechtanium Surge" sownfall Legacy did. As long as they don't go too bananas on the writing and give it care in the anime, it could still work. My opinion on this is that the executives are trying way harder to rely on new gimmicks each and every half a season because they are trying to keep the kids interested. Like, make the new Bakugan, make more species that are interesting! Just don't market a new gimmick that will somehow break up this brand we looked forward to resurging for years to.

I think geogans lie in the middle for me from your description. Having seen similar things happen in other games with a tcg it all depends on actual play and future support for the mechanic so it can go either way honestly.

I only have the bakugan I got as a kid. Thought about buying the modern bakugan but I'd be the only one in my area that would even be interested. Plus I don't watch the show so I have no connection to the newer toys in any way but that said I do enjoy learning the new game and watching it played. And these new bakugan from this video look neat. I really like the idea of them being optional but I like the idea of someone making them useful without it being overpowered and everyone has that same trick. I would like to see it more along the lines of an archetype booster. Like you mentioned in the video about haos being the only one that could snipe cores before these new bakugan. And it may not be useful for other decks to play with that gimmick but make the deck that dose play with that gimmick more versatile and fun with its options and against you don't have to run them if you don't want to. I hope other of these new bakugan have abilities that help boost certain archetype abilities. I maybe wishful thinking but those are my thoughts and my requested comment. Enjoyed the video and can't wait for the next one.

As for the game itself, apart from the "you need the toy" part, I think their implementation is ok. I'm actually thinking of throwing Aquos Viperagon into my deck as it fits in rather nicely. That being said, I agree that we should very slowly integrate things from here on. Wait a WHILE before we see anything else new, if at all. We just got Bakugear and Fusions, and now Geogan in quick succession, and I'm worried Spinmaster is more interested in dropping new hooks rather than seeing how far they can push the ones they've already cast.

[@MakeVarahHappen]

I think the big thing that is being missed when people bring up how bakugan already requires toys is that because of the life decking mechanic in the reboot Bakugan is one of the few games that doesn't require dice. Three marble sized spheres replacing d20s or a box of d6s is fine. It's basically as easy to store. A bunch of unwieldy toys that are often bigger or more oddly shaped requires much more unique storage. This is probably why the original traps were so boring looking. They had to be common shapes that were easy to store.

[@sophiegoose]

First of all, GREAT video: I'm glad that you discussed both sides and both the concerns and praise folks have for Geogan. I too love these as toys, and as someone who focuses more on the toyetic aspect of the line than the TCG they're an absolute treat...but as someone who also plays the TCG, hoo boy does the whole idea of too much plastic bits and Ziploc deckboxes bring me fear. I also really, REALLY appreciate you bringing up the topic of skill mechanics and how they limit this game for folks with disabilities, it's a point I see overlooked a LOT in discussion of the TCG, and one I think more Bakugan fans and Spinmaster themselves need to keep in mind: TCGs have largely been disability friendly, or, at the very least, disability neutral. They're able to be played by people with a lot of different neurological, fine motor, and muscular disabilities, but Bakugan precludes many established TCG players who are disabled from playing. The need to sit at a height that allows you to see the entire field, have fine motor control to aim and roll for specific cores, and now needing to stand and move your arm over the Matrix to drop Geogan, I think, are points overlooked by the designers and the community. Now, that's not to say Bakugan is inherently flawed due to the skill mechanic with the toys and the way the game is set up: it merely just precludes an audience that's already present in the TCG world, narrowing the reach of Bakugan compared to traditional TCGs. I also like that you discuss the fear of needing to buy additional game pieces: it's already like pulling teeth at my local game store to get people to try out the game. 30$ is a looooooot to ask for people to take a risk on a starter deck for a new game, getting cool magnetic monster marbles in the box or no. I've had plenty of folks ask what me and the other brawlers are playing at my LGS, but even after letting them borrow decks and/or sit in on a few rounds, teaching them and showing them the ropes in the game, when you lead them over to the starter decks they're always cringing at the price of entry. Obviously, I don't expect Spinmaster to give away their product/bite the bullet on toy production costs, but, if they are out there/if they happen to come across this, I got one thing to say: keep it simple, keep it fun. You've already precluded TCG players with disabilities AND those who are put off by the pricetag from entering the game and becoming long-term players and customers: the more toyetic pieces you add to the game that are necessary for decks, the more you're gonna scare off the already smaller base you have than most for the TCG. Those who get into the game are hooked, as it's amazingly fun and stands out in the market, but DON'T turn into something along the lines of Legacy, where you need 6+ toys to play...especially when what TCG players crave is fun new card mechanics, balanced metas, and a core game that's easy to learn but hard to master. Anyways, thanks for the vid, Jett, as well as the chance for all of us baku-nerds to vent and discuss in the comments. Take care.
