Hey Kid, Fancy Shooting Some Pinball?
Pokemon kids head down to the Milk Bar for some pinball action.
It's the year 2000 - the kids go potty over Pokemon. Rewind forty years and it's Pinball. So for all Pokemon fans and 50's throwbacks there's Pokemon Pinball, released later this month on Game Boy.
Shake, rattle 'n' roll - wasn't that some sort of 50's phrase? Well there must be a pun in there somewhere as Pokemon Pinball is the first Pokemon game to feature a built-in rumble pak. As first featured in the awesome Top Gear Rally on Game Boy Color, the unit literally shakes and tilts in the heart of the action. With Pokemon Pinball, players have a brand new way of capturing all 150 Pokemon - and that's by playing Pinball. Plus, there might be one more. You can guess who.
Pokemon Pinball's action takes place on either a Blue or Red field that features elements and characters from the Pokemon universe. All of the targets on the table are familiar to Pokemon players; a Poke Ball is the pinball; and Pokemon like Voltorb and Shellder are the bumpers. Players must hit the targets to catch and evolve Pokemon, but certain monsters appear only on the Blue or Red field - so you'll have to play them both to collect the lot.
More and more Pokemon appear as players increase their skills and attain higher scores. Every captured Pokemon is automatically recorded in the Pokedex until all 150 are represented. Players have the potential to rack up higher scores by upgrading the Poke Ball to a Great Ball or Master Ball. Locating hidden bonus stages allows for even better scores that can then be printed out with the Game Boy Printer (sold separately).
Slap it in your Game Boy and start hitting those buttons. Pokemon Pinball is out on Game Boy on October 6 priced £26.99
