![]() ![]() Another alternative is to capture egg-hatched Pokemon by activating an incubator - passing your ball through it multiple times - or bashing Cynquadil on the head until he incubates the egg. You can even evolve Pokemon in order to boost your collection (which are entered into a universal Pokedex each time you capture a critter) via other ramp/target combos. Then you have to smash a few bumpers to get the little chap to appear, and then finally bonk him on the head a couple of times with the ball to capture him. Shooting a combination of ramps and a target (Sharpedo on the Ruby table and Wailmer on Sapphire) will activate Catch 'Em Mode, which presents an icon of the Pokemon you'll be able to catch. The best thing is that it works really simply. Not even when I've been playing Pokemon, to be honest. And never before have I ever wanted to catch 'em all quite so much as I have when playing Pokemon Pinball. These not immediately apparent depths revolve around the core premise of Pokemon which is, of course, to catch 'em all. Well okay, not hidden, just not immediately apparent depths. Because while Pokemon Pinball initially presents a couple of tables and a ball and lets you get on with it, you'll begin to discover that it has hidden depths. The key to its greatness lies in the fact that racking up millions of points by bumping bumpers and shooting your ball up ramps isn't the only road to success - it won't even get you on the road to completion. More fool me, then, when Pokemon Pinball turned out to be one of the most arresting pinball games I'd played in a long time. In fact, that's exactly what I was expecting. It would've been easy for Nintendo to craft a couple of generic pinball tables, throw in the Pokemon imagery and pop the cart in a box. I mean how hard can it be? I felt right at home. ![]() I am terrible at pinball and always have been, but this is Pokemon Pinball. Every Friday night, there I was on the Addams Family machine down my local, pint under the table, cheering throng behind me and adoring lady friends hanging from every limb.
