Manufacturer's Description
Much more than a regular pinball game, Pokémon Pinball combines fast flipper action with a unique way to catch your favourite Pokémon. Control the flippers to launch the Monster Ball at targets on one of two boards. Play on either a Ruby or Sapphire board to rack up as many points as possible. Catch over 200 Pokémon, including new characters from Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire. Clear all the boards, beat all bosses, and find all hidden levels to claim the title of Pokémon master.

Customer Reviews

A highly addictive and enjoyable GBC rendition!
I came across the original Pokemon Pinball game (which was released on the Gameboy Color a few years back) in a bargain bin and snapped it up! It was a good enough game but was slightly hampered by the fact that you were unable to see the whole pinball table all in one complete screenshot, so it became a real headache trying to follow the pinball.

Pokemon Pinball Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire on the Gameboy Advance was then released and I think Nintendo have done sterling work with this rendition of the original. Gone is the old problematic screenshots, and in with the new. Now you are able to see the whole pinball table which glides smoothly up and down as the ball spins off various obstacles. No more headaches!

Like the GBC version, the purpose of the game is to catch various Pokemon (there are over 200 to catch and collect) from two pinball tables - the Ruby table and the Sapphire table. There isn't a vast difference between the two, but like in the Pokemon adventure games, you can only catch certain pokemon from the Ruby pinball table and vice-versa. All in all this is a highly polished game and is incredibly addictive. It's not just the collecting of the pokemon (which is a reasonable challenge in itself), but also the smooth handling and control of the pinball tables that make this game such a joy to play. If you're after a decent pinball game - go for Pokemon Pinball Ruby & Sapphire, regardless of whether you're a Pokemon fan because you won't be disappointed.

The best pinball game on any handheld EVER
This is one of the best if not the best pinball game I have ever played and in my humble opinion the best pokemon spin off so far. Its like a very well designed pinball game with a twist, there's 200 crazy critters to catch. This game is a must for any pokemon fans, and in fact a must for any fans of anything i think that anyone would have a hard time topping this little beauty. this isnt like the first pokemon pinball, this on fells right it feels like god wants you to play. It has some really good bonus boards and an amazing save feature.
If you are going on holiday or just have some spare cash this is the game for you. You can just pick up and play. This is the best GBA game for under a tenner so buy you crazy cats buy like there is no tomorrow.

POKEMON PINBALL - AS GOOD AS EVERYONE SAYS?
Im not a big fan of POKEMON games and i only got this game as it was cheap.However,it really does draw you in.i have spent many hours glued to my gba SP or DS with this game,sometimes even amazing myself with my persistence.

You can pick up this game pretty much straight away and will find it difficult to leave alone,as you try to net all of the 200 pokemon available.

I got JIRACHI and RAYQUAZA for the first time a few days ago and got my best score yet (just over 11 billion!) and now im back on it again

If you love pinball,buy it - if you love pokemon,buy it.
If you love them both - this is an awesome slice of heaven

ideal for short burst gaming and long trips,you can save at any point just to keep that progress safe.

I havent played a pinball game this good since PINBALL DREAMS/PINBALL FANTASIES
