Double your Prizes - 

  • To "double your prizes" simply do this. When you get the CAVE bonus DO NOT GO INTO THE HOLE! Light up the letters C A V E again. Now when you go into the "cave" you will get double the prizes! (e.g. When you get the ball saver bonus it's 60 sec. instead of 30 sec.) I did this trick about 4 times and it easily got me 1st place on the score board! Especially when I got the BIG bonus! Woah!!

Easier Way to get the CAVE Bonus - 

  • The hard way to get the CAVE bonus is this: Light up all four letters C A V E located at the bottom of the screen to open a hole in the middle of the board. The easy way is this: 1st Charge up Pikachu's kickback by doing a loop-de-loop around the outside of the board. It should hit a spinner which will cause it to spin, charging Pikachu up. Then when the ball falls down to the bottom of the screen and bumps Pikachu. He will do a Pikachu kickback. At this time flip the flippers so that the blank spot is over Pikachu's head. You have to be quick so that the ball will go through the blank spot.

Evolving Pokemon

  • Red Field: Shoot the pokeball through the left outside loop. Each time you pass through the loop, one evolution arrow will light up. When all three arrows are lit up, shoot the ball into the Evolution cave. Then choose the pokemon you want to evolve.
    For example, if you choose shellder, make the pokeball hit all three Water Stones then shoot the ball into the hole in the middle of the field.

  • Blue Field: Shoot the pokeball through the left loop. Each time the
    pokeball passes through the loop one evolution arrow will light up.
    When all three arrows are lit up shoot your ball into SLOWPOKE'S mouth.  Then choose the pokemon you want to evolve.
    For example, if you choose pikachu make the pokeball hit all three
    Thunder Stones then shoot the ball in the hole in the middle of the
    field.

Find the Rare Zapdos

  • To get Zapdos, the legendary bird of thunder, go to Lavendar Town on the Red game board. Make sure all of the arrows to the right loop are lit up and none are blinking (to light them up, shoot the pokeball through the right loop). Now, shoot into Bellsprout's mouth and there is a good chance that you will find a Zapdos.

Getting Great, Ultra, and Master Balls

  • To get a Great, Ultra, or a Master ball you must light up the three
    lights at the top of either table. You do this by touching the little
    rectangles directly under the lights, and the lights can be moved with the A button, so you can go through the same rectangle and still go from a great ball to an ultra ball to a Master ball.

How to Catch Mew

  • After playing the MewTwo bonus stage three times, try to go to the
    Indigo Plateau. Mew will appear there, but although you can see him you still have to attack him over 50 times before he is captured.

Mewtwo Bonus Stage

  • To get the Mewtwo bonus stage, play both bonus stages per table (ie Seel and Meowth stages on the blue table, Gengar and Diglett on red.) The next bonus stage will be Mewtwo's stage.

Moving Pokémon in the Pokédex

  • To get the moving Pokémon in the Pokédex select to an unevolved Pokémon or basic Pokémon then press start. Then you can see the Pokémon move. This only works for basic Pokémon.

Pokedex Counter

  • Go to your Pokedex and press SELECT. This will show you how many pokemon you have and how many you've seen. (The ones you have seen in your pokedex are shadows.)

Red Field Evolution

  • Having trouble hitting the ball up the outer left loop 4 times? Try
    this trick: Whenever the ball is initially released into the field(when a new ball is sent or your ball is saved), the ball will bounce up near the edge of the right flipper. While the ball is in limbo, shake the field left(Down on the D-Pad) 4 times; once while the ball is rising, once at the peak, and twice on the way down. Hit the ball with the right flipper as soon as it is in range(the tip of the flipper will strike the ball), and it will always go up the outer left loop. Finally, there's a use for the Ball Saver on the
    slots!

  • Another useful method is to stop the ball and hold it with the left
    flipper up. While the ball is still, it will spin counter-clockwise.
    Now, release and immediately hit the left flipper; the ball should roll a pixel or two down the flipper before shooting straight up the
    Evolution Lane. The timing is difficult, but with practice these two
    tricks will allow you to evolve pokemon at your leisure.

Here is a list of the different effects of the slot bonus:

  • Small- get a 100-900 point bonus
    Big- get a 1,000,000-9,000,000 point bonus
    Ball Saver- turns the ball saver on under your flippers
    Ball Upgrade- you ball upgrades one level
    Bonus Multiplier-the number shown will be added to your bonus
    multiplier
    EvoModeStart- starts the evolution mode
    Twin Pikachus- gives you left and right pikachu kickback till you lose your ball
    Extra Ball(rare)- gives you one extra ball
    GoToBonus- proceed to a bonus stage

Special Evolution Bonus

  • To get the special evolution bonus:
    1.You must get into the evolution mode.
    2.You must get the menu and select a pokemon that has a star.
    3.Go through the whole evoultion process.
    4.After you "evolve" the pokemon you will get a special evoulution
    bonus worth 10,000,000.

Special Stages

  • In order to get a special stage you have to catch three pokemon in one
    place.For example: If you catch Pikachu, Pidgey, and another Pidgey in
    Viridian forest, without getting a "game over", or switching to
    somewhere then back again, a hole will appear saying "Go To BONUS". Go
    in and you will be in the stage.The Red field Bonus Stage is Diglett's Cave and the Blue field Bonus Stage is Meowth's House.

Here are some expert Pokemon Pinball tips from an experienced player:

1.There is definitely a Mewtwo stage.  To get to it you just beat the two bonus stages on either board and go to a third stage, this will be the Mewtwo stage.  This bonus stage looks like the Seel stage, except there are no Seels and Mewtwo lies at the top.  To beat the stage you have to hit Mewtwo, who lies at the top of the screen, 21 times in 2 minutes.  The catch is that he starts out with six orbs rotating around him that will block your shots.  If you hit these orbs, the ones you hit will disappear for a few seconds.  For every three hits Mewtwo takes, one of the orbs will disappear.  Once all the orbs are gone, hit him three more times to beat him.  Each hit he takes will rack up 50,000,000 points!  If you’re just playing to get a high score you should just hit him until he’s almost dead, lose, and face him again.  I racked up 20 billion points using this technique.

2.READ THE MANUAL. It’s not really an expert tip, but there’s a lot of help in it and most people don’t bother to read it and just play.

3.Don’t underestimate the power of tilting the machine.  It can save a lot of your balls (pun not intended) when you’re in trouble.  Again, if you have no idea how to do it, READ THE MANUAL! It shows how to on page 7.

4.If you are wondering how to get Zapdos, he’s right in Lavendar town.  Just keep trying until you get him.

5.The regular slot machine has a random order, so you can’t predetermine what you’re going to get, but the slots at the beginning are in order so if you time it right, you can pick the town you start in.

That’s all my tips for now. Thanks.

1) Number of Pokémon
In the Pokédex, if you hold select, you can see two numbers in the upper right hand corner. These two numbers are the Pokémon caught/ Pokémon seen. A Pokémon is considered "seen" if you attempted to catch it in "catch 'em" mode or evolve it in that mode, but failed to. It will appear as a silouette in your Pokédex.

2) Pokédex Fun
This tip doesn't do any real good, but it's kinda' neat! In the Pokédex, if you put your cursor on a Basic Pokémon and hold start, you can see it move! Yay!

3) Catch 'em Mode
To get into catch 'em mode, you may do one of two things. On the blue table, go up and around the far right ramp twice. You'll see arrows light up. Then go into Cloyster's mouth and catch 'em mode will commence! Also,

in red mode, go up and around the right ramp twice and then shoot it into Bellsprout. Also, if you go around the ramps 3 times, you stand a better chance of getting a rare Pokémon! The other way to get into Catch 'em mode is to get that window after a Cave shot.

4) Where to get Pokémon on the Red Board
Pallet Town: Charmander, Rattata, Nidoran (M), & Poliwag. Viridan Forest: Weedle, Pidgey, & Pikachu.
Pewter City: Spearow, Jigglypuff, Ekans, & Magikarp.
Cerulean City: Oddish, Mankey, Jynx, & Abra.
Vermilion City Seaside: Shellder, Krabby, Ekans, & Farfetch'D.
Rock Mountain: Voltorbe, Diglett, & Mr.Mime.
Lavender Town: Gastly, Magnemite, Cubone, & Electabuzz.
Cycling Road: Spearow, Doduo, Lickitung, & Snorlax.
Safari Zone: Paras, Rhyhorn, & Chansey.
Seafoam Islands: Horsea, Staryu, Seel, & Articuno.
Cinnabar Island: Ponyta, Growlithe, Omanyte, & Kabuto.
Indigo Plateau: Machop, Onix, & Ditto.

5) Where to get Pokémon on the blue board
Viridan City: Squirtle, Nidoran (M), & Bulbasaur.
Viridian Forest: Caterpie, Rattata, & Pikachu.
Mt.Moon: Zubat, Paras, & Clefairy.
Cerulean City: Bellsprout, Meowth, Jynx, & Abra.
Vermilion City Streets: Shellder, Krabby, Farfetch'D, & Sandshrew.
Rock Mountain: Diglet, Voltorbe, & Mr.Mime.

Indingo Plateau: Geodude, Ditto, Moltres, & Mewtwo

**Note about 4 & 5: Occasionally, different Pokémon than these will appear, these are the most common.**

6) Cave shots
To get a cave shot, you must light up each of the letters by your flippers. These letters can be moved around be using your flipper buttons! Here's what the bonuses are. . .

Small- get a 100-900 point bonus
Big- get a 1,000,000-9,000,000 point bonus
Ball Saver- turns the ball saver on under your flippers
Ball Upgrade- you ball upgrades one level
Bonus Multiplier-the number shown will be added to your bonus multiplier
EvoModeStart- starts the evolution mode
Twin Pikachus- gives you left and right pikachu kickback till you loose your ball
Extra Ball(rare)- gives you one extra ball
GoToBonus- proceed to a bonus stage

7) Bonus Stages
To get to the bonus stages you get three Pokéballs by your map picture. Catching a Pokémon counts as one Ball; evolving counts as two. The bonus stages are. . .

Red Board: Diglett Stage (hit the Digletts to get to the Dugtrio) and theGengar stage (hit all the haunters and ghastlys to get to Gengar).

Blue Board: Meowth Stage (hit meowth to make him drop his coins, then hit his coins) and Seel Stage (hit Seel every time he pops up).

There's a rumor that there is a Mewtwo bonus stage, this is what my friend says. . .To get the Mewtwo bonus stage, play both bonus stages per table (ie Seel and Meowth stages on the blue table, Gengar and Diglett on red.) The next bonus stage will be Mewtwo's stage.

8) Pokéballs
There are four types of balls that you can use in Pokémon Pinball. They are Pokéball, upgraded to a Great Ball, upgraded to a Ultra Ball, upgraded to a Master Ball. To upgrade your ball, you need to light up the three lights near the Shellders in the Blue Table or the lights near the Voltorbs on the Red. Each upgrade only lasts one minute, unless you upgrade it again, then you get another minute. The great ball doubles your points, the ultra balltriples them, and the master ball multiplies your points by 5!

I just wanted to let you know, that I found a super useful code for Pokemon pinball to see how many Pokemon you’ve caught and how many Pokemon you’ve seen go to the Pokedex and hold select at the top right corner, there will be 2 numbers the first is how many Pokemon you’ve caught and the second how many Pokemon you’ve seen I have found this code super useful - Jolteon250

Here is a cool thing to do in the Pokedex, go to a basic Pokemon and press start.  It will move. and another confusing thing to me and my friends is that The left flipper is controlled by pressing left. also when you get all 150 pokemon you will be able to capture Mew!  Yes Mew without gameshark.  How do I know this you ask.  Well when I got my game I was looking through the Pokedex and there was Mew#151

I have some more information about the game Pokemon Pinball. First of all in either the blue or red area if you beat both bonus stages you will go to Mewtwo's bonus stage. In Mewtwo's bonus stage you have two minutes to hit Mewtwo's. Every time you hit Mewtwo you get 50,000,000 points.  - Alex Bykov,

You know how to get to the bonus stages faster? First Catch a pokemon. Then try to evolve it by going into the evolution cave(slopokes’ mouth in blue field). Evolve your pokemon and it will count as catching two pokemon! Then the bonus round will open! It’ll work trust me I’ve done it many of times before! Gotta Catch ‘em all! - TJplus524
