Pokémon: Every Gen 1 Game Ranked
9. Pokémon Pinball
Pokémon Pinball has no right to be as good as it is. It manages to mesh the gameplay of Pokémon and pinball in a surprisingly genius way.
How do you catch Pokémon?
You throw a ball at them.
How do you play pinball?
You hit a ball around.
Make that ball a Pokéball and the objective hitting a Pokémon in a pinball board a certain amount of times with that ball to catch it and you've got a nice mixture of the two gameplay styles.
They even managed to stop themselves from splitting the game into Pokémon Pinball Red and Pokémon Pinball Blue which seeing that there are two boards in the game, one called the Red Board and the other the Blue Board it was definitely something that at least crossed the developer's minds.
Now it's still not too high on the list because at the end of the day Pokémon Pinball is still just pinball, it would take a lot more than what this game offers to make pinball anything special but still, the game's pretty good.
