*{{p|Pikachu}}: Pikachu can appear under either one of the exit lanes (from which the ball cannot normally be saved); Pikachu's location is toggled with the flipper buttons. If the ball would exit the table via the exit lane that Pikachu is under, if Pikachu is ready, then instead it will rebound the ball onto the field by using {{m|ThunderShock}}. Pikachu is readied by spinning a spinner on the right side of the large loop on each table. There is a gauge with a lightning bolt symbol in it to indicate how ready Pikachu is; it can only rebound the ball if this gauge is full. | *{{p|Pikachu}}: Pikachu can appear under either one of the exit lanes (from which the ball cannot normally be saved); Pikachu's location is toggled with the flipper buttons.

==Regional differences== | |||
The European release features a menu when starting up the game that let's the player select which language they want to play the game in. | |||
On the Copyright screen in the English and European versions, the games list '''Creatures Inc.''' and '''HAL Laboratory, Inc.''' instead of '''Creatures''' and '''HAL Laboratory'''. The European release was further edited to show it was released later than the Japanese and English releases. | |||
On the Title screen, {{p|Pikachu}} is smiling in the international releases. The European release corrects ''Poké Dex'' to POKéDEX''. | |||
The European release gives two options for how strong the Rumble feature is in the Options menu with the options of ''Mild'' and ''Strong''. The English and Japanese releases only have an ''Off'' and ''On'' setting. Additionally, the M in '''RUMBLE''' is slightly wider in the European release. | |||
The control scheme options were simplified to three predefined options in the European release. | |||
The [[Super Game Boy]] border is different between releases. The Japanese release lacks a ("TM") symbol. The European release features a large vibrant blue font of ''Pokémon Pinball''. | |||
In the [[Virtual Console]] release, due to hardware incompatibility, the [[Game Boy Printer]] option of printing High Score tables has been disabled. | |||

* {{p|Mew}} can appear as a catchable Pokémon in [[Indigo Plateau]] once the player has completed the Mewtwo bonus stage twice (it then has a 1/16 chance of being encountered when all three GET lights are lit). However, it is virtually impossible to be caught by normal means, because a special routine requires the player to hit Mew a total of 1024 times (256 times for each of the 4 steps in the "catch!" sequence).<ref>[http://psense.lib.net/Analysis/RGB/pinball/poke.html ポケモンピンボール ! - POKeMONaSeNSE] (Japanese)</ref> Mew's Pokédex entry will be unlocked when it is encountered instead of when it is obtained. | * {{p|Mew}} can appear as a catchable Pokémon in [[Indigo Plateau]] once the player has completed the Mewtwo bonus stage twice (it then has a 1/16 chance of being encountered when all three GET lights are lit).
