Stern Pinball teased its upcoming Pokémon machine the other day without so much as an inch of the unit shown off in the brief stinger. Now, the whole shebang has been unleashed into the wild for the public to gawk at. Take a look for yourself:
Here’s a reminder of the pricing breakdown, as there are three units available to purchase:
- Pro ($6,999)
- Premium ($9,699)
- Limited Edition ($12,999 – only 750 games globally)
As of this writing, the Limited Edition is already sold out, however, the other two are in ready supply. Watching the trailer, it’s evident that Stern has put a ton of heart into this machine. Here’s what the company has to say about its Pokémon pinball:
Every element of Pokémon by Stern Pinball has been meticulously crafted with attention to detail, honoring the rich legacy of the beloved franchise. The machine integrates video clips from the original Pokémon animated series, immersing players in the world that started it all. Bringing the experience to life even further, custom voiceovers for Pikachu and the notorious Team Rocket leader, Giovanni, captures the spirit and humor that fans know and love. To complete the nostalgic journey, the game proudly includes the iconic “Pokémon Theme” song, a true celebration of the timeless Pokémon adventure.
Players will shoot the illuminated, mechanically animated Poké Ball to catch Pokémon, build their ultimate team, and complete their Pokémon Collection. The playfield also features beautifully crafted Pokémon-themed ramps, spinners, and targets. Watch as the animatronic Pikachu reacts to your gameplay, cheering you on every step of the way! Trainers can battle their way through rival trainers and compete in the arena through dynamic, custom battle sequences. Danger lurks as Team Rocket and their infamous boss, Giovanni, plot trouble. The interactive Meowth Balloon toy swoops down onto the battle arena to challenge the Trainer. Premium and Limited Edition games include an interactive electromagnet that adds chaos to the battle arena.
