Custom Pokemon Pinball Machine

Hello All,

This popped up in my news feed and I think some here may find it interesting. This was not my work, but I follow the pinball hobby closely.

I love both pinball and pokemon and collect both so I’m looking forward to the day we get a pokemon pinball machine. It was actually a post on a pinball forum during the Logan Paul hype that rekindled my pokemon addiction.

What you see in the YouTube video is one of the many passionate and talented pinball community members who created their own custom Pokemon Pinball machine. From watching the video I’d say they’ve done a heck of a job and I’m sure they’re still working on some artwork for the machine. Check it out and see what you think. If you like what you see, the rumor is an official pokemon pinball machine will be for sale by an actual major manufacturer this winter.

Really cool and seems to play nicely. I was always a fan of the pokemon pinball gameboy games so its really cool to see. I have never been good at pinball so most of the modes they talk about are useless to me since I’ll never be able to activate them but definitely a great concept. Really cool that you can “catch” the pokemon and “evolve” them as well through normal pinball game mechanics. Not sure why they chose geodude and ghastly for the 5th and 6th pokemon to capture. The gym leader mode and legendary captures are cool to see as options as well.

While I don’t play much pinball, I find it fascinating as it merges gaming, skill, and senses all into one, in a way that even video games can’t do. Pinball is just freakin’ cool and some machines just go really crazy. It’s fun to see a pokemon themed one, but over all it’s just a great share! Thanks, @Ashcaughtem1988 !
