Stern Pinball, a renowned manufacturer in the global pinball industry, has officially announced the development of a pinball machine based on the iconic Pokémon franchise.
Revealed via a recently published teaser trailer, this collaboration marks a significant new entry in the world of licensed arcade machines, combining classic pinball gameplay with one of Nintendo’s most beloved intellectual properties. The announcement was made public as Stern Pinball released a brief teaser video featuring the instantly recognizable Pokémon logo paired with the nostalgic theme song from the original anime series.
While detailed specifications and gameplay features remain under wraps as of this report, the trailer alone has sparked immediate excitement across the Pokémon and arcade gaming communities. Fans eager for the latest updates can register their interest and sign up for official notifications directly through Stern Pinball’s website.
The company, based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, is no stranger to high-profile collaborations, having produced pinball machines for major franchises like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The addition of a Pokémon title further cements Stern’s status as a leader in the arcade and pinball market. Pokémon, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, has maintained its status as one of the world’s most successful entertainment franchises since its debut in 1996.
The brand’s expansion into physical arcade machines is significant, as demand for both Pokémon merchandise and arcade experiences continues to grow globally.
While there have been digital Pokémon pinball games—such as the popular "Pokémon Pinball" titles for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance—this marks the first time an official, full-sized arcade pinball machine themed after Pokémon will be made available to the public. When reached for comment, Stern stated in their official update that further information—including final design reveals, availability details, and release dates—will be announced in the coming months.
As anticipation builds, enthusiasts and collectors are encouraged to monitor public channels, including Stern Pinball’s social media and official website, for the latest news on this highly anticipated release.
