It's Pikachu!

Strengths: Solid pinball game, pokemon collecting

Weakness: Only 2 tables!

This is a good solid pinball game for some quick games now and then. The Pokemon collecting portion adds a bit of depth to the basic pinball game, however I can imagine that this bit is only appealing to Pokemon fans. Some Pokemon appear frequently and some infrequently, so you'll have to play a lot of pinball to "catch 'em all!". There are some minigames as well that add some more value to the...

Pokemon Pinball

Strengths: Great game for pinball and pokemon fans.

Weakness: Not everyone is a fan of the pokemon series so might be turned away by that fact.

Pokemon Pinball really is a fun, fast paced game. This is one of the few games that I have really been addicted to recently. A must have for all pokemon and pinball fans alike!

Pokemon Pinball

Strengths: Fun pinball action with added depth due to Pokemon collecting aspect

Weakness: N/A

Pinball games have always been a perfect match for handheld systems. They are the kind of game you can pick up and play at any time ˆ the control is intuitive and the game play is simple. Nintendo has created a fantastic pinball game in Pokemon pinball. The basic pinball game (trying to obtain a high score) itself is fun. Various Pokemon creatures make up the various elements of the pinball...

A Great game of pinball!

Strengths: Fast and fun action, nice graphics and unique gameplay.

Weakness: Some pinball players may not be huge fans of Pokemon.

While this isn't the greatest pinball game out there, the pickings are pretty slim on the GBA, so this makes Pokemon Pinball one of the best (way better then the awful and disappointing Mario Pinball). I'm not a big fan of Pokemon in general so I couldn't appreciate the fact that it was drawing inspiration from one of Nintendo's more popular franchises. However, this game was so fun I didn't mind...

Pinball in a new form

Strengths: This title provides some fun twists on the standard pinball format, extending play beyond the standard strive for a high score.

Weakness: You may not enjoy the title if you can't get beyond the Pokemon aspects.

What you will find with Pokemon Pinball is a variety of tables with the focus on catching all the Pokemon that you can. As a result, you have a double draw of playing for score as well as coming back to try and get that last Pokemon in your collection. Overall, I was surprised with how well this game played and recommend it to people who even don't enjoy Pokemon titles to begin with.

Pinball awesomeness

Strengths: great objective based pinball gameplay

Weakness: Who are all these Pokemon I don't understand

I am a huge fan of the original Pokemon Pinball for GBC and this one is pretty much just as good. The only downfall is I don't know most of these Pokemon because Ruby and Sapphire were awful. The bottom line is the pinball mechanics are great, and overall it's a great experience for the money ($15 nowadays)
