Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire Coming to Europe & Japan

Pokémon Pinball fans rejoice! The sequel to the original, which added Pokémon from Hoenn, is coming to the eShop in both Europe and Japan this week. On Wednesday it will get its Japanese launch for ¥702 and the European release will come a day later and retail for €6.99 or £6.79 depending on the region.

Did you play this game on the Gameboy Advance? Unfortunately, this is a spin-off I missed due to lack of money. I may pick this up 🙂

  1. Just this morning I finally got through Victory Road and through the first two members of the Elite Four. Hopefully later tonight I can get past Glacia and Drake, maybe even Steven.

  2. So right now I’m around 1800 SRs for Mudkip on Omega Ruby. Not very long, but starting to test my patience… But I WILL keep going! Shiny Mega Swampert calls for me!

  3. Pokemon games really are getting easier. I beat the E4 on my first try, and I only had five pokemon, and didn’t use the exp share.

  4. Just think about this. What is GF released a game that they told us almost nothing about, except the region was massive and there where only a few tow, and our one and only goal was to catch them all. No champion, no evil team, just catch them all. Also what if there were no routes. What if it was an open world? It’ll never happen but a guy can dream.

  12. No battle Frontier? So. Only a miniscule number people have played that so it’s unimportant. Lag? Of course it’s going to lag. It’s one of the largest 3DS games. A lot of the games lag. That’s a reason for the N3DS. The graphics don’t show what the 3DS can do? If they had done that there would’ve been even more lag. No game corner? Oh well. It’s considered gambling which is illegal to have in a kid’s game in most countries. No character customization? I don’t recall that being in the original game. After all it was a remake. Customization needs to stay in Kalos and anything after that. Not a remake. Besides, Kalos was such a shitty region, it needs to be remembered for something. The fan base is just spoiled. That’s what it comes down to. You want all these things but complain about the lag, which is a result of so many features. The goal of ORAS wasn’t to see how many new features they could fit in, but how to make the most popular games even more memorable than they already were. You can say it wasn’t as good as you expected, but technically, XY’s story hasn’t even started yet. So. ✌️

  13. So everyone keeps saying how OP mega mence is. yet I’ve been using it on Showdown A LOT. I think I’m doing something wrong. ;~; I’ve never failed using a mega before. plz help. ;~;

  14. So, how long did it take you guys to complete ORAS’ main story?
    It took me around 32 hours, not including the Delta Episode.

    Also, what was your level range during the Elite 4?

    I think my lowest during the first battle with the Elite 4 was Level 61. Highest was 71.

          • :O That’s a new surprise from Earthen!
            What’s wrong with you bud?
            Are you mad because you continually lose and you lose a lot of your competitive spirit?

          • I was cereal
            I honestly don’t know what to tell you
            I am gonna be honest here so beware what you read lower
            We ALWAYS try to cheer you up but you get down maybe a week or two later? Sometimes you get more and more down than before, so honestly Trying to cheer you up is just getting redundant. You are a friend of mine here, but I don’t think I can cheer you up anymore, it is just one big circle, so you just have to be able to cheer yourself up, just take as much time as you need to start back again (if you do).
            and yes we know you actually have medical problems, but what good are people over the internet going to do for your medical problem and if you actually have a problem there is no way we can help permanently? We actually might make it worse because we bring up your hopes then your hopes fall right back down. It is really repetitive trying to help you out.
            I’m sorry to say this, but
            You aren’t getting help from me
            I still love you.
            and I know you didn’t ask for my help, I just wanted to tell you how I felt

  16. Ugh. I need some double battle team ideas. Any help plz? It’s got to be in the ORAS hoenn dex. I already got Mence and Sableye…

  17. I was wondering how many status conditions you could run at once? like, infatuation, paralysis, curse, and confusion would totally block almost any attack, and damage the pokemon slowly.

    Reply
  18. And just as a little heads up.(mostly for you ook) I’ll be the Gentleman of Unova all through december and early january. THen I’m heading back to Gentleman of Sinnoh to avoid any confusion.

  21. I need to change into my PJs
    Heres something you could use during this time of year if you need to poop:
    “I need to go drop my presents down the chimney, if you know what I mean”

  22. Well i’ve decided to transfer my 6IV Safari Ball Rhyhorn to OR to begin my second line of Earthen Warriors

    The Earthen Code states that a Rhyperior must be the first Member,

    Reply
  23. Well I beat Delta episode. B4 the going for Rayquaza I stocked up on a TON of ultra balls. I got to the point where I battled it and when I got it down to yellow health I thought “Y not try and catch it.” I also thought “I only have one regular Poke ball left y not use it and c what happens”………Well I caught Rayquaza in a reg Poke ball lol One shot, yellow health, and the quickest battle I’ve ever had with RayRay. Then I went on to battle in space and I honestly had a tough time figuring out whether I wanted to use the master ball on Deoxys. I had planned on it bc I didn’t want the hassle of battling both Rayquaza and it in a row……..never imagined it would b as easy as it was lol

    Reply
    • All I did was TW Rayquazza and threw a Pokeball, it worked, haha
      I just defeated Deoxys after failing to capture it after like 10 throws, just gonna SR for a good nature when I beat the E4 again

      Reply
      • After ten minutes of battle with Deoxys and a shit ton of Poke and Ultra balls, my Sharpedo KO’D Deoxys with a Crunch. Needless to say it wasn’t defensive natured. It was at +6 Cosmic Power and died.

        Reply
        • I didn’t even feel like taking the chance. Altho I had planned on using the Master Ball from the start it was made indefinite as I ended up getting to that point at like 130 am-2 am. Even if I hadn’t already decided on it I was in no mood to have a lengthy battle lol

          Reply
        • I used my Gardevoir first to TW wave it (50% it would’ve been Naughty natured cause Syncronize), then I used Sharpedo cause Hyper Beam killed ‘voir.
          Of course a Waterfall from Sharpedo would crit the damn thing while at half health

  24. I’m not sure if people are just too lazy to hunt for the mons themselves or if they spend through the game fast that they don’t really give a shit about collecting.

    • Tropius is on Route 119 and it’s really not that hard to find…
      Bagon is in the top part of meteor falls (where theres a long room w/water and a tm at the end). You can use the DexNav (I think) to help find it.
      Buizel is the only one not in ORAS, but I don’t have one :c

      Reply
  25. Going through all the routes and getting the platinum (at least I think its platinum) crown on all the routes with the DexNav ^-^ It’s so satisfying!

  26. That awkward moment when a Junior starts talking to you just because his ex girlfriend is one of your best friends….

    (I don’t even know this guy wth)

    In pokemon related news, I don’t really have any. Surprisingly.

  27. Tbh after seeing the official Hoopa Unbound models, I like it a lot more. Hyperspace Hole is such a sexy attack. It may be the first Legendary I ever use.

    Reply
  28. I dont like Legends that much in general. For me Sinnoh went way overboard. I think there should be maybe 3-5 new legends at most per gen. They are way to common they dont seem like legends anymore.

  29. That bloody motherf*cking b*iching basterd. I try to transfer my lucky egg over to my AS through GTs. And what do you know? Someone comes right in and takes my lucky egg…
