If you are kind of new to Pokemon and don't know much about pokemon you should get this game. It's just a pinball game when you have to catch pokemons. I bought this at an Ebgames for 2.99. You can probably get a cheaper price for it unless you read my review at felt that it is so good you have to recive it in the next 24 hours.After you know a lot about this game you probably already know enough about these games to start with Ruby or Blue or Gold. If you want this game new get it for GBA unless you are stuck with a Game Boy Color. I liked the game so much I bouught it for Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. The difference is that in one of them it shakes the Game Boy which is highly rare. But you have to have a AAA battery for your game. This is a great game.

3.5 stars - a good pinball game

The video games in the Pokemon franchise are very hit or miss. For every Pokemon Gold or Pokemon Silver, there's a Pokemon Snap or Hey You Pikachu to bring the series back down. In 1999, Nintendo decided to try their hand at something a little different with the Pokemon characters - a pinball game. Is this one of the hits in the series, or one of the misses? Read on for my review.

PROS:
-Perhaps the greatest thing about this game is that you don't have to be a Pokemon fan to enjoy it.
-The game contains a good deal more depth than your average pinball game.
-There is an element of Pokemon capturing, which makes this a very interesting game.
-There are two different tables, one of which has monsters not found on the other and vice versa
-There are a number of bonus events as well.

CONS:
-Let's face the facts, no pinball game can hold your attention forever.
-The rumble feature doesn't contribute anything to the game.
-There are only TWO tables - more would have been nice.
-Since this is a Pokemon game, many hardcore gamers may be reluctant to try it.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a good pinball game, and one of the hits in the Pokemon series. If you've got a Game Boy, this here is a game worth checking out. It's nothing revolutionary, but it's sure to kill some time for you.

Okay, I am not a pokemon fan at all, but I have to say that I love this game. You can choose from two different tables, red or blue. This game can become very addicting. If you are a pinball fan and not a pokemon fan, you can still enjoy this game. I highly recommened it.

It [DISAPPOINTED]!!

the game is the bomb! perfect for the kids on a long road trip. The game has a rumble feature, so this is the perfect game even for adults, to cause as a distration from stress of work related problems. You should make sure that the game is factory sealed before you buy it.

This is one game you don't have to like Pokemon to appreciate. Pinball action combined with an element of collection forms a wonderful game for Pokemon collectors and pinball wizards alike. Featuring all the Pokemon from Blue, Red, and Yellow, the two tables on this game provide for plenty of excitement. The tilt system in this game also helps you keep the ball in play without having to be concerned about the machine penalizing you. This is a wonderful game that like I said, could be enjoyed by everyone.

Fun, fun, fun.......

I love this game. I am so glad that it is still available for purchase! I wish that I had gotten it a LONG TIME AGO... I have been borrowing my son's friend's game and have always wanted to get my own so that I can earn all 150 characters by myself... Although I will consider sharing it with my son, too. I can't wait to have my own game!

I went to blockbuster to rent this game, and when I got home and started to play I couldn't stop!!! It is sooooo fun and cool because you have got to catch pokemon while you play pinball!!!
A pinball wizard who likes pokemon as well as pinball, will surley LOVE this game! A great buy. And you can save money by buying used ones all you do is just start a new game instead of hitting continue.

its cool

Quite possibly the most fun to be had on the GBC. The fact that you can save and pick up your game at a later date is a great feature.
