There are two tables in the game: Red and Blue. The Pokédex is saved between individual games, so it can be built up over time. Pokémon Pinball has a secondary objective hinted at by the tagline 'Gotta Catch 'em All,' which is to collect all 151 Pokémon to fill your Pokédex. Like any pinball game, the main objective is to get points, using the different modes of advances to score them at a higher rate. In it, the ball is a Poké Ball, and most of the objects on the table are Pokémon-related.
It was released in Japan on April 14, 1999, and in North America on June 29, 1999. Pokémon Pinball is a pinball-based Pokémon spin-off video game for the Game Boy.
