Stern Pinball, a leading name in the arcade and pinball industry, has officially launched its latest project: a stunning Pokémon pinball machine series that pays homage to the iconic Nintendo franchise.
Following a brief teaser, Stern has now revealed full details, offering fans and collectors an in-depth look at the design, features, and pricing for these highly anticipated machines.
The Pokémon pinball machine comes in three distinct editions: Pro priced at $6,999, Premium at $9,699, and a Limited Edition for $12,999—with only 750 Limited Edition units available worldwide.
As of this announcement, the Limited Edition variant has already sold out, underscoring the high demand and collector interest, while both Pro and Premium options remain available for purchase. Stern Pinball's new offering is packed with immersive features that honor the beloved origins of the Pokémon brand.
Every aspect of the Pokémon pinball machines has been crafted to capture the essence and nostalgia of the franchise.
Stern confirms that the cabinet integrates video sequences from the original Pokémon animated series, drawing players directly into the world of Ash, Pikachu, and their adversaries. A particular highlight of the machine is its use of custom voiceovers for fan-favorite characters such as Pikachu and the Team Rocket boss, Giovanni.
These exclusive recordings bring authentic sound to gameplay, enhancing the pinball experience with familiar voices that resonate with longtime fans.
Complementing this, the game’s soundtrack includes the iconic “Pokémon Theme” song, further amplifying the nostalgia factor for both seasoned players and newcomers to the Pokémon universe. In terms of gameplay, players are encouraged to shoot the illuminated, mechanically animated Poké Ball to catch a variety of Pokémon, build their team, and advance their collection.
The playfield is adorned with Pokémon-themed ramps, spinners, and intricate targets, while an animatronic Pikachu offers dynamic reactions, cheering players during key moments.
Competitors can challenge rival trainers and engage in custom battle sequences within a lively arena, all while fending off Team Rocket and their notorious schemes.
An interactive Meowth Balloon toy makes surprise appearances, adding another layer of excitement to the pinball experience. For those opting for the Premium or Limited Edition models, Stern Pinball has included an interactive electromagnet feature that injects unpredictability and added challenge to arena battles.
This, along with the animation, audio, and engaging mechanical features, establishes the Pokémon pinball machine as a standout release in modern arcade hardware. The Pokémon pinball machines are available now directly from Stern Pinball and select distributors.
With the Limited Edition already sold out, fans interested in owning the Pro or Premium models should act swiftly to secure their piece of Pokémon history.
Stern’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation is evident throughout the design, making this release a must-have for arcade collectors and Pokémon enthusiasts alike. For additional details or to place an order, visit Stern Pinball's official website.
