Stern Announces Pokemon Pinball
Gotta Catch ’Em All: Pokémon Pinball Joins Stern’s SPIKE 3 Lineup
Stern Pinball is bringing one of the most beloved franchises of all time to the silverball arena with Pokémon Pinball, powered by Stern’s next-generation SPIKE 3 technology platform. Since debuting in Japan in 1996, Pokémon has inspired Trainers worldwide to chase the dream of being the best — and now that adventure comes to life with ramps, targets, and battles built for fast, satisfying pinball gameplay.
A New Adventure for Trainers (and Pinball Players)
This isn’t just a theme swap. Pokémon Pinball is designed around the core loop that made the franchise iconic: exploration, collecting, and battling. Players travel through multiple environments, build a team, and chase completion goals that feel familiar to longtime fans while still rewarding pure pinball skill.
Game Features
Catch ’Em All: Journey through four habitats, discovering, catching, and bonding with favorite Pokémon. Shoot the illuminated, mechanically animated Poké Ball to catch Pokémon, build your team, and complete your collection.
Pikachu Toy: In the PRO version, Pikachu is static but a faithful companion on your journey. In the PREMIUM and LIMITED EDITION versions, an animatronic Pikachu reacts to gameplay, cheering you on every step of the way.
Battle Sequences: Compete in the arena with dynamic, custom battle sequences as you take on rival trainers and push your team to the next level.
Team Rocket — Blast Off at the Speed of Light!: Catch Pokémon, battle rivals, and face off against Team Rocket — including Giovanni — as the interactive Meowth Balloon swoops in to challenge you. Premium and Limited Edition models add an interactive electromagnet for even more chaos.
Authenticity: Features video clips from the original animated series, custom voice overs for Pikachu and Giovanni, and the iconic “Pokémon Theme” song.
Crafted Playfield Details: Pokémon-themed ramps, spinners, targets, and devices are built to keep the action moving and the shots feeling satisfying.
