Pokemon Pinball challenges you with a whole new
way to catch all 150 Pokémon. To become the
world's greatest Pokemon Trainer, players have to
catch and evolve Pokémon by playing pinball.
Pokemon Pinball is the first Game Pak from Nintendo
with a built-in rumble feature. As your Poke Ball
bounces around the table you'll be able to feel the
impact as the cartridge sends jolts through the Game
Boy and into your hands. Want the best Pokémon
collection around? You'd better have a tight grip.
All of the pinball action takes place on either a Blue or
Red table, where Pokémon are used as obstacles and
bumpers. The targets on the tables are straight from
the Pokémon universe, and instead of a metal ball you
use a Poke Ball to rack up points.
You can capture all 150 Pokemon by hitting targets and earning high scores, but
some Pokemon will only appear on a Blue table or a Red table, just like the
original Pokémon games.
Every captured Pokemon automatically appears in the Pokédex, and rare
Pokemon will begin to appear as you earn higher scores. The Poke Ball can be
upgraded to a Great Ball or a Master Ball, which is crucial equipment for Trainers
who are serious about catching all 150 Pokemon.
You'll have to find hidden bonus stages to maximize your score, which can be
saved and transformed into stickers by using the Game Boy Printer. There's no
need to brag when you have your high score printed on stickers -- that's
undeniable proof of your pinball power.
Pinball is fun no matter how you approach it, but when you put Pokémon and
pinball together you've got one of the most addictive Paks around. Pokémon
Pinball is currently shaking things up on store shelves, and is backwards
compatible with all pre-existing Game Boy units. |
