Pokémon Pinball is an Adventure, Pinball, and Single-player video game developed by Nintendo. Throughout the game, the player has to get control over a pinball, and the primary mission is to get high points. The game has two colored tables, such as Red-colored and Blue-colored. Each table has different playable sections, which will determine which Pokémon is available.

The game has a catch mode, which starts with a 2-minute window where the player must attempt to capture a Pokémon. The player has to hit the pop bumpers six times after the activation of the catch mode. Each hit by the player unlocks an image out of six total ones of the Pokémon currently available for capture.

The Pokémon appears on the table after the completion of the image. Evolution mode grants the opportunity to the player to evolve the Pokémon into another form by hitting the targets on the playfield. Seven targets are available on the red board, and almost six are on the blue board.
