==Development==
The Bakugan.com official site, leading up to December 1st, had a sign-up form for email newsletters regarding ''Battle Planet'' information, as well as a countdown to December 1st. After December 1st, no new information was revealed, but a new countdown timer was set to December 17th, promising that "all will be revealed." There were two other notable changes: the sign-up form changed, from simply prompting "Enter Your Birthday" then asking for an email, to "Sign up for our Baku-Blast! Enter your age to begin," as well as a new "Incoming Transmission" message at the top of screen which, upon clicking, would play a short clip of an unknown Pyrus Dragonoid blasting fire at the screen before returning to the main page.
Bakugan.com finally launched on December 17th, the website includes sections about the products, characters, and Bakugan. The anime premiered on December 23rd, 2018 but officially started airing new episodes in January. The toyline also was released starting January 1st. ==CharactersAnime==*[[Dan Kouzo]]{{Main|List of Bakugan Battle Planet Episodes}}*The ''Bakugan Battle Planet'' anime features fifty-two, eleven minute episodes, as opposed to the former twenty-two minute episodes [[Wynton Styles]]*[[Shun Kazami (Bakugan Battle Planet)Brawlers|Shun Kazamiits predecessor used]]*.

==Physical Game==
Like the original series, ''Bakugan: Battle Planet'' will have an integrated toy line featuring physical toys, marble-like balls that transform into collectible characters once rolled over a magnetic object, this time a hexagonal tile called a [[BakuCore(Reboot)|BakuCore]]. Along with the physical game, a mobile app (Bakugan Fan Hub) and online integration also have been launched.
The ''Bakugan: Battle Planet'' line of product brings with it two modes of play: the ''[[Bakugan Battle Planet: Toy Battling Game]]'' and the ''[[Bakugan Battle Planet: Trading Card Game]]''. The ''Toy Battling Game'' is a simpler game using only the Bakugan marbles and their corresponding Character Card and BakucoresBakuCores. The ''Trading Card Game'' further adds a 40-card deck of [[Ability Card (Reboot)|Ability Cards ]] and more rules to the game.
The product line is set to release released in North America and other select markets on January 1, 2019, with a full global roll-out in the second quarter. There are two type of Bakugan, Core Bakugan ($7 USD) are the basic Bakugan that are simple to close. [[Bakugan Ultra]] ($10 USD) Bakugan have more complex designs and have the ability to jump and flip the BakuCore. The BakuCore has replaced [[Gate Cards]], they are metal, hexagonal tiles that can increase/decrease B-Power (renamed G-Power), increase Damage, and other effects. Ability Cards also return but players can use up to 40 now rather than 3. Each Bakugan now comes with a [[Character Card (Reboot)|Character Card]] that lists their stats, name, and Faction. Some products with multiple Bakugan include [[Starter Pack (Reboot)|Starter Pack]]s, [[Battle Pack (Reboot)|Battle Pack]]s, and the [[Starter Set]]. Other accessories include the [[Baku-Storage]] and [[Bakugan Battle Arena (Reboot)|Bakugan Battle Arena]]. Ability Cards can be collected from [[Booster Pack]]s and [[Card Collection]]s. A Card list can be found [[Battle Brawlers (Card set)|here]]. Due to Sega Toys owning the designs to the Legacy Bakugan, SpinMaster cannot reproduce old Bakugan such as [[Neo Dragonoid]] and [[Alpha Hydranoid]]. The same factor is with the original [[Attribute]] symbols, which have been redesigned, Attributes are now called [[Faction]]s. The elemental symbols are also no longer printed on the Bakugan. ==Trivia=====Localization Changes===The following changes were made between the English and Japanese versions of the anime: *Some scenes are altered due to having violent or dangerous imagery, switched around, or not in the English broadcast.**In the Japanese version of ''[[Monkey See, Monkey Don't]]'', the flames are orange, but the English broadcast changed the flames to a purple color.*The Japanese version uses its own soundtrack as well as a Opening and Ending theme with many scenes that do not take place in the anime.*The B-Power of Bakugan (commonly 600) does not exist in the Japanese version
