Don’s Pinball Podcast is live!

Don plays Pokémon pinball live, declares it excellent and fun despite pre-release skepticism.

Don from Don's Pinball Podcast provides enthusiastic first-impression gameplay commentary on Pokémon pinball at Chicagoland Entertainment Museum. He praises the game's theme execution and mechanical feel, comparing it favorably to Bond, and notes that hands-on play feels more complete than leaked/media coverage suggested. He recommends the Premium tier with a shaker motor and emphasizes that the LE edition's exclusive features (locking flap, shaking Pokéball, Pikachu head-turn, Psyduck shootout, Squirtle toilet bowl) are more impactful in person.
