Stern Pinball has debuted a brand-new pinball machine themed around Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. This exciting release engages players with nostalgic gameplay and interactive elements. The pinball machine is available in three models: “pro,” “premium,” and a limited edition, with a total of 750 units produced worldwide. Prices range from $6,999 to $12,999, making it a collector’s item for fans and serious pinball players.
This innovative machine promises an adventurous experience, inviting players to navigate through four biomes: forest, water, mountain, and desert. Players must skillfully hit targets to catch and train Pokémon while facing opposing trainers and Team Rocket.
Your adventure begins when you enter one of the biomes at random. As you play, you’ll collect Pokémon and outsmart Team Rocket during an exhilarating multiball sequence, adding an extra layer of excitement.
Completing objectives and scoring enough points allows players to challenge rival Pokémon in Gym Battles. Master each biome, and you’ll advance to the Pokémon Arena, where facing Team Rocket’s leader, Giovanni, becomes the ultimate test of skill.
Premium and limited edition models feature an interactive electromagnet that “adds chaos” during battle gameplay, ramping up the thrill even further.
Players can enhance their experience through Stern’s Insider Connected app, allowing them to track the Pokémon they catch across different machines. By logging in with their Insider Connected account, trainers can view their Pokémon collections, adding a social dimension to the gameplay experience.
