The Pokémon in Pinball won't be captured as in Red/Blue/Yellow versions. This time we will have to hit them with a Pokéball, which is the substitude to the normal pinball balls in this game. But the game doesn't end here. Pokémon caught will be able to be evolved during gameplay and also you will be able to travel through out the Pokémon world and even play bonus games. This will be spread out into two Pinball tables which look very different as their difficulty. The Blue one is much easier to start with than the Red one.For the blue table you need to hit the ball into Cloyster to go into catch 'em mode, Slowbro to evolve a caught Pokémon, and hit Shellders to flip the pieces while your catching Pokémon and also to gather points. For the red table it is a bit harder you need to hit into Ditto which is usually blocked, and hit it into Bellsprout to go into catch 'em mode and hit Voltorbs to flip over pieces.

The technical part, the graphics and music (in which appears Mezase Pokémon Master, the japanese opening animé song) help to become even more addict to a game that is pretty simple to play in which the main objective of all the Pokémon games remains, Catch'em All, Including the mysthical Mew!
When playing, if you enter catch 'em mode you will start with a shadow of a Pokémon as you hit Shellder or Voltorb the pieces will flip once you they are all flipped the Pokémon will pop out you will need to spell catch by hitting the Pokémon and hit it once more to catch it.

The new Pokédex, which includes really nice images of the original 151 Pokémon and their animations when playing will be serving new info about the Pokémon.You can go there and see what Pokémon you've caught and evolved and also if you hold start you will see them animated and if you hold select you'll see how many Pokémon you caught/how many you've seen.
