             Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire is the sequel to the million plus selling Pokémon Pinball for GameBoy Color. Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire combines fast "flipper action" while you catch your favourite Pokemon. Launching a Pokéball to begin a game, players use flippers to keep the ball in-play and knock the ball into targets on one of two boards, Ruby or Sapphire. Depending on the board, you will be able to catch different Pokémon, just like it happened with the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire games. When you catch the wild Pokémon from the pinball board, the information will be added to the Pokémon Pinball RS Dex (As you can see below). Graphics have improved greatly compared with the first version of the game and so did the Pokémon animations and music remixes. Also a new feature has been added, the PokeShops. You can buy things on there such as Ball Savers. Check for more details on the Walkthrough section.

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire is one of the first games to support Game Boy Player with special feedback. You will still get full rumble support if you play the game through your GameCube adapter! Great, isn't it? But the GBA Cable link feature is even better.You can't trade Pokémon with friends, but you can swap high scores and sightings; once a creature is listed in one person's Pokédex, you can link up with that person and have an easier time of catching that creature yourself.

There are also 4 more hidden ones from the old games! The Bonus stages are accessible by meeting various requirements on the Ruby and Sapphire boards, depending on the Pokémon caught or evolved and the amount of points on the pinball board.

Players will get carried away with the simple objective of Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, leaving them wanting more and more new Pokémon. Using the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player, players can experience the rumble feature on the Nintendo GameCube controller for even more authentic pinball fun.

It's also known that this game has some kind of compatibility with the E-Reader and the E-Cards, which will make things occur more often.
