Stern Pinball has partnered with The Pokémon Company International to create an official Pokémon-themed pinball machine that will make any fan's dream come true. Starting at $6,999 for the Pro model, this nostalgic arcade game lets players battle with classic starters like Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu while catching up to 182 Pokémon from the Kanto region.

Beyond the catching mechanics, the machine features Gym Battles across four different biomes and a final showdown with Team Rocket. The pinball experience draws heavily from the original anime, complete with a monitor showing cartoon clips, an animatronic Pikachu, and speakers that play the iconic theme song. Players can track their progress through Stern's dedicated app.

The premium offerings include Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models, with the top-tier version priced at $12,999. Only 750 Limited Edition machines will be produced, each featuring a Master Ball plunger, numbered plaque, and signed certificate of authenticity. For fans who can't justify the investment, these machines will be available at arcades and bowling alleys, making the Pokémon pinball experience accessible to everyone.
