Get ready for a thrilling adventure as Stern Pinball unveils its highly anticipated Pokémon pinball machine! This epic release is part of Pokémon's 30th anniversary celebrations, and it's a real treat for fans and pinball enthusiasts alike.
The machine is now available in three exciting models: Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition. The Limited Edition is an exclusive gem, with only 750 units available worldwide, and it comes with a price tag ranging from $6,999 to $12,999, depending on the model. If you're keen to get your hands on one, or if you're a business owner looking to add some magic to your venue, head over to Stern Pinball's website (https://sternpinball.com/game/pokemon/) to inquire about availability and delve into the details.
This pinball machine promises an unforgettable journey, taking trainers through four distinct habitats. Prepare for an epic battle against rival trainers and the notorious Team Rocket. The machine even incorporates video clips from the beloved animated series, including the iconic theme song, adding an extra layer of nostalgia and excitement.
The gameplay is immersive and engaging. You start by entering a random biome - forest, water, mountain, or desert. By skillfully hitting the ball at the right targets, you'll discover, capture, and train new Pokémon partners. But watch out for Team Rocket! They'll try to capture Pokémon during a fast-paced multiball sequence, so you'll need to be quick and strategic.
As you progress and score enough points, you'll unlock Gym Battles against rival Pokémon parties. Complete all the biome-specific Gym Battles, and you'll enter the ultimate Pokémon Arena. And if you're truly skilled, you might even face off against Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni, in an epic showdown.
The Premium and Limited Edition models take the experience to the next level with an interactive electromagnet that adds a chaotic twist to the battle arena. It's a feature that will keep you on your toes and add an extra layer of challenge.
To enhance the overall experience, Stern Pinball has developed an app that allows trainers to document their Pokémon catches. Here's a sneak peek:
"With Stern Pinball’s award-winning Insider Connected, Pokémon by Stern Pinball takes the experience to new heights. Trainers can connect and track their adventures across machines and locations. When signed in with their Stern Insider Connected Account, the Pokémon they CATCH will be added to their Insider Connected Pokémon Collection, accessible through the Insider Connect.
