Learning How to Play Pokemon Pinball by Stern
Summary
Pokémon Pinball Pro tutorial reveals incomplete code but solid fundamentals; production bugs acknowledged.
Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 hosts a gameplay and learning session on Stern's newly released Pokémon Pinball (Pro model). The host and Isaiah provide an extended tutorial covering core mechanics: Pokédex scanning to catch Pokémon, four character-themed modes (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Pikachu, Charmander), multiball integration, and battle sequences. The discussion reveals ongoing quality issues including a known center ramp bug that George Gomez acknowledged and attempted to fix at TPF, ball physics problems with the Squirtle ramp, and incomplete code (only ~182 Pokémon implemented so far). The stream emphasizes the game's accessibility compared to modern Stern releases, with tournament strategy recommendations focused on Squirtle multiball combos.
Irod2001 shows mpt3k some of the rules and shots on the Pokemon Pinball game by Stern. We try to explain some of the game even though the code is not very far along. The game still shoots very well and should provide endless fun to capture over 100 Pokemon to add to your Pokedex! twitch.tv/mpt3k
