Bakugan Battle Brawlers

Bakugan Battle Brawlers is a 2009 video game based on the anime series of the same name. The game was developed by NOW Production and published by Activision for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, and Wii. Plot At the beginning of the game, a cutscene showing Hal-G celebrating the completion of the Silent Orb and stating that all Bakugan will bow to him appears. After this, another scene showing the petrified bodies of various Bakugan in the Doom Dimension is shown, with colored orbs floating out of the statues, creating a dragon-like Bakugan, who then flies upwards. On Earth, the player is seen being teased by Shuji and his younger brother, Akira, due to their passion for Bakugan, yet not knowing how to battle. After Shuji tells the player that they'll learn the rules "the hard way," Dan Kuso, a Battle Brawler specializing in the Pyrus attribute, shows up, offering to teach the player. The player's available Bakugan change from the home console version and the DS, with the former versions giving the player a Serpenoid, Juggernoid, and Saurus that match with the player's chosen attribute, while the player starts with a Pyrus Serpenoid, Aquos Juggernoid, and Ventus Falconeer on the DS. When the player wins their battle against Shuji, Dan tells them that they should compete in the Neo Challengers Tournament. After the player visits the Bakugan Store, run by Alice, a Battle Brawler, they head back to the park when flashes of light spontaneously appear. After the final flash, a Bakugan matching the player's chosen attribute named Leonidas appears, who agrees to become the player's Guardian Bakugan in order to fight. After the player wins the tournament, Dan shows up to congratulate the player, while Runo and Marucho, who were participants in the tournament as well as being active Battle Brawlers, attempt to convince the player to abandon Leonidas, which they swiftly refuse, with Dan agreeing with the player. Dan then invites the player to the park to learn about Tag Team battles and to be their partner in the next tournament, which uses that battle format. A situation nearly identical to the first tournament occurs after the player and Dan win.
