--{[Advice on Bakugan]
i know how not highly most of you think of bakugan. but for the likely very low percentage of you here who actually do like it, here's some tips i came up with, and found around the net, for playing and collecting bakugan.
-keep in mind that most bakugan apparel (deka bakugan, costumes, bedsheets, etc.) will NOT help you in battle in any way.
-be sure to get plenty of items designed for keeping bakugans in, such as BakuTins, BakuRacks, BakuClips, BakuCapsules, etc.. they are useful for protecting, storing, and organizing your bakugans.
-when looking for new bakugan, KEEP A SHARP EYE OUT FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT BAKUGAN! these kinds generally will appear different from regular bakugan, and often have special effects. such as translucent bakugan, for example. translucent bakugan appear with, obviously, a translucent version of whatever attribute it originally has. the effect of a translucent bakugan is that you can choose to either copy the opponent's attribute (which is the effect of a completely clear bakugan), or keep your standard attribute
-if you plan on buying a deka bakugan, do so ONLY for the following 2 reasons:
--1. collecting deka bakugan.
this is a pretty standard reason most people are foolish enough to do this for, as deka bakugan cannot be used in battles. though they have printed G-power, it's completely useless and there just to tease you *although some people have set up matches that use ONLY deka bakugan in leu of a real match*.
--2. collecting gate cards.
like regular bakugan, deka bakugan come with an enclosed gate card. this is generally the more sensible reason to buy a deka bakugan.
-it is best to, if possible, have multiple decks organized.
-you do not necessarily have to have all your bakugan be only 1 attribute. especially present with ability cards such as Doom Wind Start.
-please be advised that some bakugan from the show (such as 5'th paladin & dryoid) may not be available at this time.
-when trying to tell the difference between real and fake bakugan, LOOK FOR THE SCREWS. unlike real bakugan, which are made with triangle-head screws (and also completely flat ones for certain limbs of certain bakugan) so as to not make them easy to take apart, false bakugan are made with philips-head (+) screws. also, coloring is mismatched in some cases.
-bakugan with the ability to change their attribute (such as preyas, elfin, or any clear/translucent bakugan) will sometimes be helpful in certain cases.
