Pokémon Pinball

Pokémon Pinball, released for the Game Boy Color in 1999, is a Pokémon spinoff in the form of a pinball game. Players play on either a Red or Blue-themed table (modeled after Pokémon Red and Blue) to earn points and catch Pokémon. Every time a new species is caught through Catch 'em All mode, or evolved in Evolution mode, it is added to the in-game Pokédex.

Spawned a 2003 sequel on the Game Boy Advance, Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire.

Tropes used in Pokémon Pinball:

 * Anti Frustration Feature: The Ball Saver, which is activated at the beginning of a new ball and for the first 60 seconds of Catch 'em All mode and Evolution mode.
 * Battle Theme Music: The music for Catch 'em All mode, Evolution mode, and Map Change are decidedly more upbeat and hurried.
 * Everything's Better With Spinning: Spinners appear in both the Red and Blue tables, and getting enough spins allows the Pikachu to save your ball.
 * Mini Game: The bonus rounds.
 * Pinball Scoring
 * Pinball Spinoff
 * Timed Mission: Catch 'em All and Evolution modes have two-minute timers, bonus rounds have one minute, and Map Change has 30 seconds.
