Objectives
Like any pinball game, this one's main objective it to get points. But, as the title suggests, with a Pokémon twist. Your main objective through out the game is to capture and evolve Pokémon. As you play, you build a Pokédex with all of the Pokémon you capture and evolve in it. The Pokédex is saved between individual games, so you can build it up over time.
Trivia
This game was one of the few games to have a rumble pack in the cartridge. The music in "catch 'em mode" is the Japanese Pokémon theme song.
Sequel
Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire is the third generation sequel to Pokémon Pinball The main difference is the available Pokémon. Instead of capturing the first generation pokémon, players capture the Pokémon available in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire instead. As a bonus, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile and Aerodactyl are also available. Jirachi can be captured under special circumstances, though Deoxys is unavailable.
This game also makes improvements on the original title. Most notably, the game scrolls rather than having two static screens. It also includes new features such as captures from hatched eggs.
