Gameplay Features and Mechanics

• Dual Pinball Tables One of the standout features of Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire is the inclusion of two distinct pinball tables: the Ruby and Sapphire tables. Each table is designed with unique themes and challenges, offering different gameplay experiences. The Ruby table is inspired by the fiery Pokémon of the Ruby version, while the Sapphire table reflects the cool, aquatic elements of the Sapphire version.

• Pokémon Catching Mechanism In Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, catching Pokémon is integrated into the pinball mechanics.

Each successful hit brings you closer to adding that Pokémon to your Pokédex.

This expansive roster allows players to catch and collect a wide variety of Pokémon, making it a must-play for any Pokémon enthusiast aiming to complete their collection.
