This gallery brings together the visuals of Pokémon Pinball on Game Boy Color: the packaging, the two tables, the main modes and the five bonus stages. The screenshots keep the console’s original resolution, 160 by 144 pixels. Each caption states what the image shows, which also makes it a small visual memory aid for recognizing the elements described in the rest of the guide.

Packaging and accessories

European box art: Pikachu, Ditto, Diglett and Meowth around a table, with the Rumble Game sticker
American box art: same illustration, with the Includes Rumble Feature label
European instruction booklet DMG-VPHP-NEU6, title repeated in six languages
Super Game Boy frame: on this accessory, the game is shown within a green checkered border and the rumble is disabled

The two tables

The whole Red Field: Voltorb, Bellsprout, Staryu and three loops
The whole Blue Field: Shellder, Slowpoke, Cloyster, Poliwag and Psyduck

Each table spans two screens. The views above show each table in one piece, which helps you spot the areas described on the Red Field and Blue Field pages.

Catch, Evolution and Slot Machine

Catch’em Mode: the silhouette is revealed as you hit the bumpers
Catch’em Mode: the Pokémon has appeared, the letters of CATCH light up with each hit
Start of Evolution Mode: Ditto has left the hole entrance

Diglett stage: 31 Diglett to send back underground
Gengar stage: the Gastly graveyard
Meowth stage: coins to collect
Seel stage: heads to hit when they emerge
Mewtwo stage: the boss shared by both tables
