Overview

The official Pokémon pinball machine is a collaboration between The Pokémon Company International and Stern Pinball. Priced at a starting $6,999, it lets players battle with a team that includes Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu, and catch up to 182 Pokémon—mostly from the Kanto region, with more to be added.

Features

• Pokédex tracking via Stern Pinball’s dedicated app.
• Gym Battles across four different biomes, culminating in a showdown with Team Rocket.
• Cartoon‑inspired design: a monitor that plays clips from the original Pokémon TV show, an animatronic Pikachu, and speakers that can play the iconic theme song.

Editions and Pricing

Availability

While the high‑end models are aimed at collectors, Stern Pinball plans to place the machine in arcades and bowling alleys, making it more accessible to fans who prefer not to purchase one outright.
