Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire 2003

About

Pokemon Pinball has all the features you'd demand of a pinball game, including bonus tables, lots of bumpers and ways to score massive points. As with your standard videogame pinball game, the left button on the D-pad and the A-button control the flippers with the R/L triggers used to shake the table. The catch here is that everything is themed in Pokemon. Instead of a ball, you make use of a Pokeball. Instead of standard bumpers, you're hitting the Pokeball against other Pokemon, and the ultimate goal is of course to "catch 'em all". The game features 200 Pokemon, two main tables, and link cable support.

It combines arcade pinball mechanics with Pokémon collecting, letting players catch creatures and progress through themed tables tied to the Ruby and Sapphire region. The game has maintained a presence in the fan community, with ROM hackers continuing to develop modifications years after its original release. A recent update to a community-made enhanced version demonstrates ongoing interest in expanding the game's content and features beyond what the original release offered.
