I bought this game hearing it was too easy and doesn't keep you hooked. Well, I'll just tell you that this game is definently worth it. It has 7 bonus stages which once you get the hang of them they are easy. It is very difficult to get 1,000,000,000 points(unlike the old version). The game includes the challenge of getting 200 pokemon which is difficult. In total, the game is great but to catch a pokemon you only hit the bumpers 3 times and the pokemon 3 times. The old version made it where you hit the bumpers 6 times and the pokemon 4. There some other take-aways that bother me too but... Sound is the worst but otherwise the game is great!

NOT what I expected

I love pokemon and video games (even though I am a girl) and I was so happy when this came out. I begged 4 it 4 Christmas from my grandpa but when I got it I was dissapointed. See the graphics r sweet and the poke dex (or how ever you spell it) is awsome cause u can see all the pokemon you catch but the game is kinda boring. See all you do is play you get it in the whale or birds' mouth then you can catch pokemon by hitting these glob things on top. Yah it does'nt sound so fun huh? My brother and my dad end up playing it. I guess it's more of a boy game in my opian. But it is pretty cool that it's ruby and sapphire!

PERFECT!!!

This game is totaly AWSOME!!! Even though it's a remake of the last pokemon pinball game it's still #1. The Catch Em' mode is great and the graphics also deserve an A+!!!

Good for short term play but mindless pinball in the long term.

I bought this game today and have been playing it most of the day (about 8 hours max). The review is correct, it is a fun game but there is very little to keep you playing again and again in the long run. Still, it's a game i would take out now and then to play during car trips since it has a very good save feature that lets you save mid-game.

As far as catching pokemon, i dont understand what the point of it is. It's fun to catch them but to me it feels as if im catching different snapshots of monsters. There is no use for them, atleast none that I can think of. Catching pokemon in this pinball game isn't going to make your game any better, you will still play the same board and use the same ball. The only benefit to catching them is to complete your list of captured monsters and get points. Too bad they dont unlock mini-games where you actualy control your pokemon. Speaking of minigames, i love them in this pinball game. Each gives you a new theme and makes your pinball feel very much like a shootem-up game. For instance, you have to tag all the monsters at a graveyard with your ball before a timer runs out so that a boss appears. Each boss has their own little defence to keep from geting hit. In fact, i enjoy the minigames more then the pinball board itself since it is constantly changing.

Dont get me wrong, this game is good for a pinball game but not something you would pay full price for. Look for it as a rental or as a used one. In fact, having a used one may be better since someone else has captured some of the pokemon for you and will give you a set of high scores for you to beat.

Buy it cheep or don't buy it!

This game is worth buying if you can find it under $10. This game is a very good game for pinball and pokemon fans alike. There is realy no real point in this game so even if you find all the pokemon you can still have fun playing. If you read this review and you say what the #@%! is he talking about I would never buy that I don't blame you it is NOT that great of a game. If your like me you will play it a lot for the first week and play it less and less and finaly stop playing it. If you are looking for a pokemon RPG this is not your game. I realy do not know much about pokemon (I got the game as a gift I never would have bought it) If you don't like pokemon you can still enjoy it but pinball haters (like me) wouldn't enjoy it. I gave it 3 stars because if your not a realy big pokemon fan you will not like it that much.

Pokemon Pinball: The Complete Review

When I first received the new Pokemon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire game for Christmas, I had expected it to be like the old boring Red and Blue version pinball. When I began to play it though, the intricate graphics, creative features, and thrill of getting high scores has kept me hooked ever since. Some of the cool hidden features are the catch, evolution, and travel modes, Pokemon egg hatching, items to buy with coins at the Pokemart, six secret all-different bonus stages, and a Pokedex to collect the 201 all-animated Pokemon. Not only this, but the game stores your top eight scores from each of the incredibly designed Ruby and Sapphire platforms. Personally, I have actually gotten scores that are the highest that I have found on the Internet that took weeks of playing! For the Sapphire stage, my top score is 4,043,257,273! On the Ruby stage, my top score is even higher with 28,438,295,740 points! I can guarantee that I am not lying because there is no way of cheating in the game. Anyway, this is an awesome and challenging game for everyone and I would greatly encourage you to experience this excitement.
P.S. If anyone gets higher scores than the ones above, or other high scores, I would really like to hear about them. You can contact me at macgyversfriend-ppinball@yahoo.com. Please don't lie or send junk. I will know if you do.-JH

A waste of money!!!!!!!!!!

at first i dont realy liked the idea of the gba sp coz there's almost no difference. but when i bought my own sp, i got addicted to it. playing it is much more fun than the gba and its portable and shock proof so i recomend it to every gamers.
