Animated Pokémon
To animate Pokémon, go to the Pokédex and highlight one of the standard
(or un-evolved) Pokémon. Then hold the Start button and watch it move!
Note: This only works for the Game Boy Color system.
Catch Pokémon Easily
To catch Pokémon easily, hit a Shledder or Voltorb when their shadow
appears, then hold A or B to capture it!
Diglett Bonus Stage
To access the Diglett Stage easily, simply knock out the Digletts and
let the Poké Ball roll along an already open flipper - then bat it with
the other one!
Double your Prizes
To "double your prizes" simply do this. When you get the CAVE bonus DO
NOT GO INTO THE HOLE! Light up the letters C A V E again. Now when you
go into the "cave" you will get double the prizes! (e.g. When you get
the ball saver bonus it's 60 sec. instead of 30 sec.) I did this trick
about 4 times and it easily got me 1st place on the score board!
Especially when I got the BIG bonus! Woah!!
Easier Way to get the CAVE Bonus
The hard way to get the CAVE bonus is this: Light up all four letters C
A V E located at the bottom of the screen to open a hole in the middle
of the board. The easy way is this: 1st Charge up Pikachu's kickback by
doing a loop-de-loop around the outside of the board. It should hit a
spinner which will cause it to spin, charging Pikach up. Then when the
ball falls down to the bottom of the screen and bumps Pikachu. He will
do a Pikachu kickback. At this time flip the flippers so that the blank
spot is over Pikachu's head. You have to be quick so that the ball will
go through the blank spot.
Easy Points
There are several ways of snagging millions of points in Pokémon
Pinball! One way is to upgrade the Poké Ball to a Master Ball (by
lighting up Evo lights) and then hitting the targets.
Another way is to choose a captured (and evolved) Pokémon, strip it of
all of its items and experience, then whack the ball into the hole!
Evolving Pokemon
Red Field: Shoot the pokeball through the left outside loop. Each time
you pass through the loop, one evolution arrow will light up. When all
three arrows are lit up, shoot the ball into the Evolution cave. Then
choose the pokemon you want to evolve.
For example, if you choose shellder, make the pokeball hit all three
Water Stones then shoot the ball into the hole in the middle of the
field.
Blue Field: Shoot the pokeball through the left loop. Each time the
pokeball passes through the loop one evolution arrow will light up. When
all three arrows are lit up shoot your ball into SLOWPOKE'S mouth. Then
choose the pokemon you want to evolve.
For example, if you choose pikachu make the pokeball hit all three
Thunder Stones then shoot the ball in the hole in the middle of the
field.
Extra Poké Balls
To get additional Poké Balls, you must get a CAVE bonus. Thereafter,
every 20th time the letters are lit, you will receive an additional
ball!
Find the Rare Zapdos
To get Zapdos, the legendary bird of thunder, go to Lavendar Town on the
Red game board. Make sure all of the arrows to the right loop are lit up
and none are blinking(to light them up, shoot the pokeball through the
right loop). Now, shoot into Bellsprout's mouth and there is a good
chance that you will find a Zapdos.
Getting Great, Ultra, and Master Balls
To get a Great, Ultra, or a Master ball you must light up the three
lights at the top of either table. You do this by touching the little
rectangles directly under the lights, and the lights can be moved with
the A button, so you can go through the same rectangle and still go from
a great ball to an ultra ball to a Master ball.
How to Catch Dragonair
To capture Dragonair, you'll first need to go to Saffron City and
capture Evee. (Try and make her evolve three times.) Next, go to
Cloyster and snag a pokémon. That pokémon will become Dragonar!
How to Catch Mew
After playing the MewTwo bonus stage three times, try to go to the
Indigo Plateau. Mew will appear there, but although you can see him you
still have to attack him over 50 times before he is captured.
Illuminate CAVE Lights Easily
The easiest way to illuminate CAVE lights is to rapidly tap the
Up-Tilt button as the Poké Ball travels underneath the
triangular-shaped bouncers. This will move lit CAVE lights out of the
path of the ball, while putting unlit ones in their place.
Note: On the Red Table, when the Poké Ball is being launched, it helps
to hold the right flipper up.
Mewtwo Bonus Stage
To get the Mewtwo bonus stage, play both bonus stages per table (ie Seel
and Meowth stages on the blue table, Gengar and Diglett on red.) The
next bonus stage will be Mewtwo's stage.
Moving Pokémon in the Pokédex
To get the moving Pokémon in the Pokédex select to an unevolved Pokémon
or basic Pokémon then press start. Then you can see the Pokémon move.
This only works for basic Pokémon.
Pokedex Counter
Go to your Pokedex and press SELECT. This will show you how many pokemon
you have and how many you've seen. (The ones you have seen in your
pokedex are shadows.)
Red Field Evolution
Having trouble hitting the ball up the outer left loop 4 times? Try this
trick: Whenever the ball is initially released into the field(when a new
ball is sent or your ball is saved), the ball will bounce up near the
edge of the right flipper. While the ball is in limbo, shake the field
left(Down on the D-Pad) 4 times; once while the ball is rising, once at
the peak, and twice on the way down. Hit the ball with the right flipper
as soon as it is in range(the tip of the flipper will strike the ball),
and it will always go up the outer left loop. Finally, there's a use for
the Ball Saver on the slots!
Another useful method is to stop the ball and hold it with the left
flipper up. While the ball is still, it will spin counter-clockwise.
Now, release and immediately hit the left flipper; the ball should roll
a pixel or two down the flipper before shooting straight up the
Evolution Lane. The timing is difficult, but with practice these two
tricks will allow you to evolve pokemon at your leisure.

select a pokemon that has a star. 3.Go through the whole evoultion

Special Stages
In order to get a special stage you have to catch three pokemon in one
place.
For example: If you catch Pikachu, Pidgey, and another Pidgey in
Viridian forest, without getting a "game over", or switching to
somewhere then back again, a hole will appear saying "Go To BONUS". Go
in and you will be in the stage.
The Red field Bonus Stage is Diglett's Cave and the Blue field Bonus
Stage is Meowth's House.
