Lately I had a vacation with my family and the it was a 10 hour drive and this is one of the games I rediscovered and now I"m going to tell you what my feelings are for this game.    
   Summary: The point of the game is to succeed in two goals; the obvious one being that you want to get as many points as possible to get the high score, the second being the Pokémon part of Pokémon Pinball in which you..."gotta catch 'em all!".  Before the game begins you have a choice between the "Blue Version" pinball machine or the "Red Version"  both have strengths and problems so it's really a matter of opinion which one you choose.  The choice you make will NOT be a permanent choice so you can try both and decide for yourself.  Also, to the best of my findings you can get all of the original Pokémon in both styles of pinball machine unlike the traditional Pokémon games.  Once you choose which version you want to play a little screen will randomly go through settings in the original Pokémon games stopping at a place as soon as you send the ball flying.  The goal, as I said, is to get the high score and get new Pokémon, to get Pokémon you need to (depending on which version you are playing) need to get the ball into Bellsprout's mouth or into Cloyster's shell that's when it's time to start catching them.  Once you do so your next goal is to hit the shellder/ voltorbs 6 times, once you do so, certain Pokémon will appear which is predetermined by the setting you are at.  When the Pokémon appears you need to hit it four times with the pinball and then you have the Pokémon.  You will never get a chance to catch second or third evolutions in "the wild", if you want to get them you then have to evolve them by throwing the pinball into Slowpoke's mouth or into the hole Ditto is guarding.  If you caught multiple Pokémon it will give you a list of the Pokémon you caught.  If the Pokémon has a star my them that means they can't evolve anymore, though if you select them it will let you try though in the end it won't work.  Once you have selected the Pokémon then the pinball reappears and you need to collect experience or element stones.  To get them you need to hit certain targets to reveal the needed experience/stones.  Eevee's evolution is randomly selected and you have no choice in the matter between Flareon, Jolteon, or Vaporeon. Once the game is over then you will be able to see them in the Pokédex (you don't get to keep the them).  Don't ever expect to get all of the Pokémon though, it's next to impossible in my opinion because so much is based off of chance and it's hard to get second evolutions let alone thirds.  I know some fool will try to prove me wrong just because they can.  I would have given this game a very low difficulty number if it weren't so hard to "catch 'em all".  This is not a game for the hard core gamer who feels a need to complete every game.                                                                
   Graphics:  The Pokémon are recognizable and they have their own reaction to the hit of the pinball; Pikachu (you have to charge him with a spinner) will launch the ball off of his head with an electric shock that you can feel with the original game pack that comes with buzzer, voltorb buzz when hit, psycuck looks around stupidly when disturbed from his nap but will look PO-ed when hit too many times. There are some Pokémon that are less that pleasing when they get hit. Abra, for example, spazzes and flashes like a knocked lamp.  Pikachu is unproportional to the rest of the Pokémon around the machine (evidently he's shorter than Psyduck's forehead) and I think they could have done a better job with that though I know that they won't try to make Onix proportional or others.  The physics for the pinball is questionable.  Rather than spinning along the bottom/background of the pinball machine the ball just drops and loses the sensation of a pinball machine.  The most major problem I have though with the graphics is what I like to call...(pause for effect)...THE BLACK HOLE THROW OF DOOM (horrific/nightmare music playing in the background), sometimes...scratch that... alot of the time the Bonus Hole will open and instead of falling in like a pinball should they've given it the affect of a black hole.  The pinball spins around the hole as if it has gravity and it goes on for awhile getting faster and faster and if you are unfortunate enough the ball will be released straight to the end of the game.  The game has a half and half use for the game, once your pinball is at the upper-half of the pinball machine then the screen will change to that and it does the same for when you reach the bottom-half, this works reasonably well most of the time but when the ball is going back and forth between the two halves it becomes extremely difficult to play.  The graphics at it's absolute worst is when you are having... THE BLACK HOLE THROW OF DOOM... mixed with the fact that you can't see you pins to prepare for the launch because the hole is right smack in the middle of the two.
   Sound:  The first time I played the game I was surprised to find out that it has its own soundtracks, though I welcome the optimistic music I would have wished they gave you the option of playing classic tunes.  Do you want a game that has music that sounds like there isn't a problem in the world and then (even when you had a fantastic game) turns into a depressing song of sorrow for finishing the game? No, I didn't think so but someone thought it would work, which it normally would have just not the way they worked with it.  After each ball they check up on your score and while they go through your accomplishments/points the music is gone giving the impression of a mean teacher looking over your work (it feels like you always get an F too). The Pokémon use the noises from the original two Pokémon
games except Pikachu (he’s the star of the show man!).
   In the end I gave this game a 7 because it has lots of charm and is a great casual game to play for any Pokemon fan. If you are the type who insists on winning every game you don't want to start this game because it may be the last you'll ever play. 

I never heard of this game, but I like a good classic Pinball game, so I might check it out sometime. Good review btw. Good job.
