Pokemon Pinball
Faster ball upgrade:
Press Left to move the light when the Pokeball hits the first three
lights at the top. It can also be moved by pressing A.
Moving Pokemon in Pokedex:
Select an unevolved or basic Pokemon, then press Start to watch it
move in the Pokedex. Note: This trick only works when the game is
played in a Game Boy Color system.
Pokedex record:
Enter the Pokedex and press Select to view how many Pokemon have been
obtained and seen.
Tilts:
Press Down to right tilt, B to left tilt, or Select to up tilt.
Bonus levels:
Bonus levels are unlocked by capturing three Pokemon in the same
location without getting a "Game Over" screen or changing to a
different location before returning. If this is accomplished a hole
marked "Go To Bonus" will appear. Enter the hole to reach the bonus
level. The Red pinball machine has a Diglett's Cave bonus level, and
the and blue pinball machine has a Meowth's House bonus level.
Double Cave bonus:
Light up the letters C, A, V, and E to unlock the Cave bonus, but do
not enter. Light up the same letters again, then enter the Cave to
collect double the amount of points.
Mew:
Mew is a bonus character that is worth a lot of points. In red, go to
the Digglett, Gengar, and Mewtwo Stages, then do that again. In blue,
go to Meowth, Seel, Mewtwo Stages twice. Go to Indigo Plateau in map
mode. Go into a get mode to have a 6% chance of Mew appearing. Hit
the Mew with the Pokeball for the bonus points.
Secret Mewtwo bonus stage:
Complete both bonus stages in the machine that you are playing. In red,
clear the Digglett and Gengar Stage. In blue, clear Meowth and Seel
stage. Then, when you catch three more Pokemon or get a chance for
another slot, you can reach the Secret Mewtwo bonus stage.
Once in the stage, hit Mewtwo as much as possible. If he is hit enough
times, he will stop creating the balls. When this happens, you can hit
him three more times to clear the stage. However, do not do this,
since it will start the cycle over again. By leaving the Mewtwo stage
uncleared, you may keep returning to it and get higher scores.
Getting all of Eevee's evolved forms easily:
First, capture an Eevee. Then in the evolution stage, hit one of the
arrows and reveal either a Thunder Stone, Fire Stone, or Water Stone.
If you get a stone you do not need, allow the time to expire and repeat
the process until a desired stone is obtained. This is an easier than
resetting the game or catching many Eevees because of their rarity.
Evolve Pokemon in the red field:
Shoot the Pokeball through the left outside loop. Each time it passes
through the loop, one evolution arrow will light. When all three arrows
are lit, shoot the ball into the Evolution cave. Then, choose the
Pokemon to be evolved.
Evolve Pokemon in the blue field:
Shoot the Pokeball through the left loop. Each time the Pokeball passes
through the loop, one evolution arrow will light. When all three arrows
are lit, shoot your ball into Slowpoke's mouth. Then, choose the
Pokemon to be evolved.
Easier way to evolve Pokemon:
After entering Evolution Mode, quickly hit the buttons with the flashing
arrows next to them. Do not try to raise Pikachu's lightning meter. The
"Ball Saver" will stay lit for awhile. During this time, after hitting a
button with a flashing arrow, allow the ball to move below the flippers.
After the ball is launched, if the item you are looking for is near the
top, you will have a good chance of getting it. Note: If this is
attempted, always make sure that the "Ball Saver" is not going to run
out.
Special Evolution bonus:
Get into evolution mode. Get the menu and select a Pokemon that has a
star. Go through the entire evolution process. After the Pokemon
evolves, a special evolution bonus worth 10,000,000 will be awarded.
Easy 10 million point bonus:
Upgrade your Pokeball all the way to a Masterball by turning on all
the lights on the top half of a board. Then, try to upgrade it one
more time. This is much easier than having to evolve a Pokemon with a
star next to its name.
Easy Pokemon capture:
Hit a Voltorb or Shellder, then hold A or B when their shadows appear.
Finding rare Pokemon:
On the third ball, light up all the "GET" lights and enter the hole.
This will increase the chance that rare Pokemon will appear.
Finding Pokemon:
Each Pokemon has a particular location where they like to hide.
