Opening Snide Remarks: Pokemon ruled!  Does Pokemon Pinball?

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: PP is basically pinball with Pokemon in it.  But it's 
that and so much more.  In PP, the point is to capture and collect all 150 
Pokemon while going for high scores.  There are 2 tables to play on.  Your
Pokemon are collected in a Pokedex which you can review at any time.  To 
capture a Pokemon you must go through several steps.  First, you have to 
shoot a Pokeball into a Pokemon.  Then you have to hit the other Pokemon on
the screen.  Each time that you hit a Pokemon, a piece of the picture of the 
Pokemon that you are attempting to collect will be shown.  When all of the 
pieces of the picture are shown, the Pokemon becomes visible.  You then need
to hit the Pokemon 4 more times.  This sounds complicated, but becomes second
nature after a few plays.  Your high scores are saved and can even be shared 
with friends via the Infrared port on your GBC.  This game supports the GB 
Printer and can print out your high scores.  This game is a blast and will 
keep you busy for a long time.        
Liked: This game is a blast. 
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: PP is design pefection.  The controls are great.  
The flipper controls are perfect.  The tilt controls are a little confusing,
but you'll get the hang of them after a little while.

Improve: I wish that you could capture Pokemon in PP and then transfer them 
to your regular Pokemon games to train.

RIYL: Pokemon, Kirby's Pinball Land, Sonic Spinball(This is a fantastic game
that is totally overlooked)

Final Words: Pokemon Pinball is a great game that totally impressed me.  If 
you liked the regular Pokemon games, then you must buy this game.  It is a
great game that will keep you busy for a long time.  Check it out!
