Tucson PP 77 – Masterball

Highlights

  • Pokemon pinball features approximately 180-182 Pokemon including the original 151
  • Game follows seasons 10-25 of the Pokemon anime, not seasons 1-8
  • All current planned production runs (Pro, Premium, LE) are sold out
  • The original Pokemon theme song is being reimagined rather than using the original Jason Page version
  • Pikachu multiball requires shooting the ramp two or three times to activate
  • The Meowth/Team Rocket multiball mechanism is wider than the three-switch bank on Attack from Mars
  • Pokemon Company handled the art direction while Stern provided layout sketches
  • The game is combo-heavy with combos potentially unlocking different bonuses

Notable quotes

Pikachu being that early, easier multiball... I think is a great idea because besides Charizard, Pikachu is the favorite character in the game. That's just statistically, you know, when they do polls... Charizard is always number one, and then Pikachu is always number two.
Host
I love this layout. Like, the layout looks really fun to shoot.
Host
I can't read that number. It's a yellow font, the numbers are, on, like, this teal background, which is a little too light. And, like, there's no key line or bordering around the numbers.
Host
That left orbit is the jetpack shot, basically, from 007. And that is my favorite shot in that game, and I love that shot.
Host
It's gotta be cool the first couple of times you play it, but it also kind of has to be fun and cool like after 10, 100 or a thousand plays... you don't want to hate the sound coming out of the game
Host
I don't know why I'm seeing this but now I'm hungry. I just thought it was kind of funny though... they did talk about Eevee combos
Host
Misty's just like this snarky little... she's definitely got a bajillion one-liners and it would be so great if some of those were included in the game
Host
I think we've got a little bit of a hit on our hands.
