Here's the break down:Not Special Treatment:Normal BakuganBakucore BakuganBakusteel BakuganSpecial Treatment:Clear Bakugan (AKA Bakucrystal)Translucent Bakugan (Aka Bakulyte, Solar, and Neon)Pearl Bakugan (Aka Frost)Special Attack Bakugan (Heavy-metal, Turbine, etc.)The only one that's in limbo for me is the Reverse-Color bakugan.
