'''Chaotic''' is a [[Denmark|Danish]] [[trading card game]] that expanded to an [[online game]] in [[United States|America]] and is also the name of the television program on [[4Kids TV]] (Fox affiliates, nationwide), [[The CW4Kids]], and [[Toon Disney]]'s [[Jetix (US)|Jetix]], soon to be Disney XD, that is based on the game. It was brought over to the United States from Denmark by Bryan C. Gannon and Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, and produced by Chaotic USA Entertainment Group, [[4Kids Productions]] and [[Bardel Entertainment]]. The trading card game came out [[October 24]], [[2007]] in the [[United States|U.S.]] and [[Canada]].

Each card comes with a unique code which the owner can upload onto the Chaotic website<ref>http://www.chaoticgame.com www.chaoticgame.com</ref>. This allows the owner to trade and play on-line using their own card collection.

==History==
{{main|Chaotic: Now Or Never!}}
Chaotic started out as a trading card game known as "Grolls and Gorks"<ref>[http://www.danauktion.net/auctiondetails.php?id=48942 Grolls & Gorks - DanAuktion.NET<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and an idea for a cartoon series of the same name co-authored by Merlin P. Mann, co-author of the Taynikma graphic novels, in December 2000, to be produced by Solit Entertainment. The name of the manuscript was changed to Chaotic in early [[2001]]<ref>[http://www.fictionaut.dk/new-cv.htm Merlin P. Mann<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. Before any episodes were made, Dracco Company Ltd. bought the rights to Chaotic from Solit Entertainment. The original storyline featured [[Tom Majors]] and [[Kaz Kalinkas]], who were enemies, instead of friends as in the [[4Kids]] animated series. Dracco Company Ltd. with Apex Marketing<ref>[http://www.investors.com/breakingnews.asp?journalid=27541441&rb=1 Investor's Business Daily: Breaking News<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> then created the online version of the game and established the basic [[Fictional universe|universe]] of Chaotic. In September of 2003 trading card Executive Bryan C. Gannon signed a world wide Licensing and Distribution agreement with Henrik Andersen and his brother Jacob{{Fact|date=May 2008}} at Dracco to bring the Chaotic game to North America and to the world. Gannon created Chaotic USA Entertainment Group and licensed the [[patent]]ed technology{{Clarifyme|date=August 2008}} from Cornerstone Patent Technologies, LLC to bring the property up to the standards required for a global brand. He teamed with John Milito and in 2006, 4Kids Entertainment signed a Joint Marketing Agreement with Chaotic USA Entertainment (CUSA) to produce the cartoon and bring the property to market, both on TV and for licensed products. When 4Kids Entertainment teamed with CUSA, the work of CUSA was continued and included many additional improvements. The original cards were redesigned (and some renamed) along with the online game platform to give it a more mature look as well as the creation of a new animated series (with redesigned versions of Tom and Kaz) to promote the game. CUSA has been developing the online game experience for Chaotic named [http://www.chaoticgame.com/ ChaoticGame.com].

==Animated Series==
{{main|Chaotic (TV series)}}

The TV series is based on the storyline of the original Chaotic TCG. The main protagonist is a teenager named Tom, whose friend, Kaz, constantly tells him of his adventures in Chaotic. Tom, whom believes that Chaotic is only a card game, thinks that Kaz is making things up, until he entered a [[password]] he received from the game. It was then Tom knew that Kaz wasn't lying. In Chaotic, he also met some new friends, like the courageous Sarah and the comic Peyton, and new enemies, like the arrogant duo Klay and Krystella. Players in Chaotic go to Perim and scan new creatures and use them to battle. In Perim, Tom also got to meet many creatures, including his favorite, Maxxor. The battles between players take place in dromes, which are virtual battles where players become the creatures they choose and fight for the right to battle against the drome master. However in Perim, the four tribes are currently at war for the Cothica, the power that controls all of Perim. In the second season, the fifth tribe, the M'arrillians escape from the doors of the deepmines, and take over the other four tribes, by brainwashing other creatures.
