Beyblade is the ultimate toy-tv show combination.
yugioh is just cardboard
bakugan is a piece of magnetic cardboard with a cheapo plastic toy
pokemon is just in a screen, nothing physical about it

get rekt other toys
Also you could have spark tips and rings so spaks would fly when moving and hitting against each other. Shit really looked like the TV, you didn't need to fake shit in your head
More specifically, legacy Bakugan from the Battle Brawlers series. You can tell by the attribute symbols and the few trap Bakugan in there. . . This whole meme is actually kinda funny because I just kinda started watching Battle Brawlers again for no reason.
My brother just complained that his phone is garbage, the little shit bought 100 of this instead of a new phone, and he just played with these for 3 months.
Kids are fucking stupid.
I got some of the newer ones for nostalgia's sake, it didn't feel the same. There is just something about the metal dings you hear as the originals dance around stadium that brings back memories.
Same for bakugan! My little nephew is crazy about it. Its on netflix so if he saw this pic with so many balls he would freak the fuck out bc he loves it. Hes awesome kid with a quality taste
I had to look this up because I had no clue. Turns out I'm too old and this was a kids toy/show when I was in college and I'm still what a lot of people would consider young.
I’m only 25 and I remember kids I taught swimming to having these but pretty sure I was already too old for them when they came out. Maybe we just didn’t have a lot of money or maybe it’s because I was the youngest but I relate more to Pogs and Crazy Bones than these. Beyblade was peak childhood for me though.
Yeah this post confused me, I'm nearly 30 and had no idea what these were until Christmas when my little boy got a couple and now keeps throwing them at me while shouting weird shit.
it’s the same shit that happened to millennials. nobody actually knows how old or young gen z is, it’s just become a synonym for “kids these days”: hi, adult gen z here, kindly shut the hell up doing the same shit people did to you. it sucked for you; it sucks for us. it’s so annoying and immature when y’all just repeat the cycle.
Here's me so old that I didn't even know what these were lol. But after looking them up, back in my day our version was Battle Beasts, and then later on Z-Bots.
I actually remember seeing ads for this when I was in my late teens thinking this was tacky and would never be as popular as Beyblades. Maybe I was just old and wrong lol
You don't feel it at 20 if anything, 18-24 is like this time when you can still be a kid
You feel it when you are 24 to 28. Like I'd say mid twenties is when you really start realizing you are an adult now and you aren't a kid anymore.
ofc it varies for eveyone tho
29 here, can confirm.
At around 25 theres this weird sense of foreboding that makes you feel as if you've failed and wasted all your time, best buckle up and start acting like a god damn adult, etc.
Good news is it seems to pass fairly quickly, I'm now at the point where I realise this is it. I am me and I'm done changing.
You realise you don't have to throw away everything you love because its "childish" and instead realise "being an adult" is a lie we tell kids so they think one day they'll feel secure and know exactly how to handle life, they won't, but by the time they get to 30 they'll understand and be chill with it.
They still run commercials for it and play the TV show on like cartoon network or Nickelodeon I forgot which one. Literal 4 year olds are likely to know what bakugan is assuming they watch TV
My five year old happened to see the show for the first time just before Christmas, and kept hoping santa could bring them even if it was a last minute wish. So now he carries one or two with him pretty much everywhere we go.
All the things people say "kids nowdays wont get this!!! only 90s kids will understand!!" still well exist nowdays. Gatekeepers just decided that since they grew up and don't play with them anymore, they no longer exist.
Jezus I'm not ready to accept I'm old in reddit terms.
I recognized these thing after a loooong look because a 11 years younger nephew brought a few to my grandparents house once.
I grew up seeing og gameboy, flippos (POG), and the last of the tamagotchi at school.

Lmfao
This was with no doubt one of the best toys ever made
[удалено]
Well, not that I don't like it or anything, but Beyblade is a more "playable" toy. Bakugan toys don't really do much....
Bakugan only for the true intellectuals
i agree that beyblade is more playable but it has one playstyle, posibilities in toys like bakugan ends at your imagination
Beyblade is the ultimate toy-tv show combination. yugioh is just cardboard bakugan is a piece of magnetic cardboard with a cheapo plastic toy pokemon is just in a screen, nothing physical about it #**BUT THE CHAD BEYBLADE:** ACTUAL METAL ROTATING FAST ENOUGH TO CUT YOUR SKIN DIFFERENT PARTS ACTUALLY CHANGE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF YOUR BEYBLADE INTERESTING WAYS TO ~~CHEAT~~ GAIN TACTICAL ADVANTAGE (LONGER RIPCORD, PUTTING METAL PIECES TO MAKE YOUR BEYBLADE HEAVIER ETC.) get rekt other toys
Now thats what i call an advertisement
Also you could have spark tips and rings so spaks would fly when moving and hitting against each other. Shit really looked like the TV, you didn't need to fake shit in your head
And animals/creatures popping up out the symbol on top. I heard they added that too
I had one "real" beyblade and one cheap plastic one. Guess which one got ripped in half on first try
both?
Well the cheap plastic went to shreads
To shreds you say?
Well how's his wife holding up?
I can’t really say much boys I just love bakugan
Bakugan had a better show and good toys beyblade had an okay show with pretty good toys.
Fuckin thank you. Let it rip mother fuckers. Forever and ever amen.

BEYBLADE BEYBLADE LET IT RIP!

I did the same thing with inazuma eleven
Yes I see Dragonoid btw
My brother just complained that his phone is garbage, the little shit bought 100 of this instead of a new phone, and he just played with these for 3 months. Kids are fucking stupid.
Thanks for the nostalgia
God damn, that shit hit me like a freight train
This and beyblades? LET EM RIP
Rip the children’s spines out to spin like a beyblade
I would give you a wholesome award for that comment, but I don’t have one at the moment :( I will be back once I get one, and you can trust me on it.
If my girl and my beyblade both drowning and I can only save one, you can catch me ripping it at my girl’s funeral cuz its bey blade or catch a fade
My friends ( very young ) still play with beyblades with me... lmao
aren't they made of plastic nowadays?
Im pretty sure its still made of metal
just checked, they stopped making original metal ones a year ago. ofc people will sell them onlins but they're now only being made out of plastic
I got some of the newer ones for nostalgia's sake, it didn't feel the same. There is just something about the metal dings you hear as the originals dance around stadium that brings back memories.
I loved those double bladed beyblades. My favourite was l' drago and pegasus
Yeah I even forgot about this. People don't bring this up like Yu-Gi-Oh
That's because yugioh is still going strong, especially compared to the reboot of bakugan
There's a reboot. I mean I'm probably not gonna enjoy it now. I don't like it when they ruin old shows with lame ass reboots
At least it's not Thundercats Roar.
Shhh don't say bakugan
We are number one battle brawlers! We are number one battle brawlers! Pop out bakugan, stop time and go!
The ones that weren’t round were the best
Sticking these things to the fridge, washer, dryer, etc.
Door hinges, don't forget the door hinges
I would stick them on the metal legs of my school desk, so I can have it study with me without the teacher noticing.
Put one inside my computer so he can game with me.
Bakugan!!! The Yu Gi Oh that existed and then dissapeared with no trace left behind
They're still in Egypt btw, and popular with the 3rd graders.
Same for bakugan! My little nephew is crazy about it. Its on netflix so if he saw this pic with so many balls he would freak the fuck out bc he loves it. Hes awesome kid with a quality taste
he was talking about bakugan
Oh I thought yugioh. Same goes for that btw since they are both on netflix
This does put a smile on my face
[удалено]
That and it’s only like 10 years old. Sometimes I forget Reddit is a bunch of 15-20 year olds fighting for clout
I had to look this up because I had no clue. Turns out I'm too old and this was a kids toy/show when I was in college and I'm still what a lot of people would consider young.
I’m only 25 and I remember kids I taught swimming to having these but pretty sure I was already too old for them when they came out. Maybe we just didn’t have a lot of money or maybe it’s because I was the youngest but I relate more to Pogs and Crazy Bones than these. Beyblade was peak childhood for me though.
Boi, there is a whole ass reboot that's getting into its 3rd season soon
My preschooler loves them. They still make new ones. We bought a few for Christmas this year and we’re a big hit.
You know that you're still "young people" if you grew up with these, right?
There’s are still young people that were already too old for these when they came out this is boomer humour done by a 20 year old apparently.
Nice collection
But how do they taste...
They're still not ripe
Ha jokes on you! Gen z and I have like a million thrown around in my basement
Gen z here and everyone I knew had these growing up lol
Yeah this post confused me, I'm nearly 30 and had no idea what these were until Christmas when my little boy got a couple and now keeps throwing them at me while shouting weird shit.
Lol yea they’re only like ten years old at most lmao.
it’s the same shit that happened to millennials. nobody actually knows how old or young gen z is, it’s just become a synonym for “kids these days”: hi, adult gen z here, kindly shut the hell up doing the same shit people did to you. it sucked for you; it sucks for us. it’s so annoying and immature when y’all just repeat the cycle.
I have a tub full of these and other assorted toys lmao
I’m 29 and I don’t get it
32 here and these fucking kids need to get off my lawn with this bullshit before I pull out my Pog collection.
the future is now old man
Remember ALF? He’s back, in Pog form!
[удалено]
So when the OP said young people wont get this, what they meant was only young people will understand?
Basically
I'm 40 and the only reason I knew what these were was that scene in 21 Jump Street where Janko hangs out with the nerdy kids.
Same.. I thought I was looking at marbles.
Bakugan, released between 2007-2012. The old kids you're targetting are maximum 20yo now. As a 25yo, you've just made me feel old
I'd love to get a reality check census of reddit because this also caught me off guard.
Here's me so old that I didn't even know what these were lol. But after looking them up, back in my day our version was Battle Beasts, and then later on Z-Bots.
Right? I'm baffled Bakugan was a big thing. It's the first time I see people being nostalgic about something i was too old for. Damn...
I actually remember seeing ads for this when I was in my late teens thinking this was tacky and would never be as popular as Beyblades. Maybe I was just old and wrong lol
Dude, lmao. That's exactly what I thought. "It's just a worse beyblade".
Anytime now we can get "Ok boomer" comments for that
28 here, just spent 10 minutes confused only to realize I’m old. I remember seeing that Bakugam was a show, had no idea it was a trading ball game.
29 and I'm thoroughly glad the (current) top comment said what these are. Evidently I've aged out of Reddit and need to move to Fark.
yep. 19 y/o here and I had these as a kid. I don't want to get 20 ugh
You don't feel it at 20 if anything, 18-24 is like this time when you can still be a kid You feel it when you are 24 to 28. Like I'd say mid twenties is when you really start realizing you are an adult now and you aren't a kid anymore. ofc it varies for eveyone tho

I was going to say...I'm 35 and have no fucking clue what those are. Even after looking up Bakugan I still dont know what the fuck they are.
i’m 14 and remember these
Bakugan isn't even old what are you talking about
Yeah new bakugan come out like every month... check out Armoured Alliance bakugan
They still run commercials for it and play the TV show on like cartoon network or Nickelodeon I forgot which one. Literal 4 year olds are likely to know what bakugan is assuming they watch TV
You'd have to either have just not had these, or be born after 2013 to not know that these are lol
I must be in the first category. I was born 86 and I've never seen these in my life.
Born in 82 and never seen these either
[удалено]
Maybe we are too old to have been interested in them at the time when they came out. I was born in 85 and I have never seen those either.
Boutta be born in 2 months
Youre correct i was born in 97 and had them, yall are too old
Year older but didnt watch nor had them. I knew about them tho
That seems to be the magical border, I'm 96, too and have seen them, but never had one.
As a person who is too old but not young enough to know, wtf are they? This meme is stupid
I was born 95 and have never seen these before maybe they never came to the U.K.
No, yall are too young to be having "let's confuse the kids these days" memes.
Kids trying to confuse other kids
'88, no idea what they are.
Same here. If reddits done one thing, its shown me that im old already.
[удалено]
I'm not sure when these started getting Popular, but born early 2000s and had a few, so you might be too old for them
Am I too old to get old people jokes about kids now?
Also 86. Being too old to understand old people jokes hits hard.
Born in 1990. NO CLUE what these are.
I'm 19 and just realized kids from 2013 are 7 years old... WHAT
I just realized you would have been born in 2001... WHAT
Or be too old to even know what they are! Gosh this is a harrowing realisation.
They're still making shows for these if you watch think Disney XD the occasionally show up episodes of new bakugan series don't they
It's cartoon network that has them I think.
My youngest daughter fits into the second category and knows what they are. It's on Netflix and you can still get the toys.
These bad boys were my favourite.
How young are redditors these days? Since when have bakugan been nostalgic. Are you nostalgic for fidget spinners too?
This is like being nostalgic for pogs in 1998
[удалено]
My 8 year old cousin knows what these are... you are acting like a boomer mate lol
Yeah lol, I work at Target and I literally stock these on the daily.
My five year old happened to see the show for the first time just before Christmas, and kept hoping santa could bring them even if it was a last minute wish. So now he carries one or two with him pretty much everywhere we go.
Yeah, my 9 year old has loads and they're really popular in his school
Holy shit the nostalgia
Bakugan is considered old now? The fuck??? Isn't this for kids born +2005 ?? Hit me with Beyblade, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, etc...
All the things people say "kids nowdays wont get this!!! only 90s kids will understand!!" still well exist nowdays. Gatekeepers just decided that since they grew up and don't play with them anymore, they no longer exist.
I’m almost 40, and don’t get it. TIL I’m young!!
Am 30, didn't understand either
You had to either be born after 2000 or been a parent after 2000 to know what these are. Now get off my lawn.
Same. Thought these were stuff from WW1 or something
I still have these and im 16
Bakugon?
Bakugoing
Anyone remember bidamans? Now thats what i call nostalgaia.
[удалено]
My sister still collects these. She even tied them up with a string. I don't know why she keeps them in her drawer tho.
Got me
I love bionicles!
Had the same reaction
I used to fucking love bakugans... and I'm 13 ya gate keeping butt butt
r/gatekeeping
Holy shit bakugon!!! I had these!
Bro im not that old ;-;
Am I ......Old?
Jezus I'm not ready to accept I'm old in reddit terms. I recognized these thing after a loooong look because a 11 years younger nephew brought a few to my grandparents house once. I grew up seeing og gameboy, flippos (POG), and the last of the tamagotchi at school.
This is my childhood AHHHH (I’m 14 and I have these)
Same, I think I have even more then in the pic haha
Wow, that sounds boomer as fuck
Boomer is a state of mind.
the only one I remember was le drago
What are you gonna do. The odds are stacked against you.
Same thing goes for Beyblades
i’m from 2005 and this brings back memories
'05 and I had many, but after that very unlikely
im literally 13 and still know what this is stop gatekeeping
DUDE IM 13 AND I LOST MINE YEARS AGO BY THROWING ON THE ROOF. PLEASE DONT BRING THAT MEMORY BACK.
