Pokémon Pinball mini: Difference between revisions

Starting with Diglett, the {{player}} must play his or her way through 90 levels of pinball, the object usually being to put a [[Poké Ball]] (serving as the pinball) in each hole.  Along the way, the player can catch more Pokémon to use.

 

Some levels have restrictions on which bumpers can and can't be used.  The final level of the game only allows Diglett to be used; Some of the more aquatic-based levels only allow Poliwag to be used; a number of the more tricky levels prohibit Clefairy from being used due to its ability to allow the player a small amount of control over where the ball goes.

There are only four levels like this, and in all of them, the Pokémon the player is to capture walks across the screen back and forth. Every time the player hits it with the Poké Ball, it loses 1 HP (3 if the target is hit by a power shot). When the HP gets to zero, the Pokémon will faint, and will go into the Poké Ball next time it is hit with it.  If the player waits too long to capture it, however, it will wake up with 1 HP and continue walking. After catching it, the player is to shoot the Poké Ball into one of the provided holes (bear in mind that after it captures a Pokémon, the Poké Ball becomes heavier, and thus harder to hit far). As usual, there is a time limit on these levels.

* A stripped-down version of this game was included in [[Pokémon Channel]] as "Pokémon Pinball Petit" It only allowed the first ten levels to be played and could not be saved, meaning that only Diglett was usable, no matter how many times the player completed level 10 (Pikachu's capture level).
