TL;DR

Live gameplay and first impressions of Stern's Pokémon Premium pinball with mechanics, theme appeal, and licensing discussion.

Summary

Joel and Jared from Flip n Out Pinball stream live gameplay of Stern's Pokémon Premium pinball machine for the first time, discussing its accessibility, rule depth, playfield design, and licensing complexity. They attempt to reach the Charizard mini wizard mode by completing four story modes, emphasizing the game's appeal to both modern audiences and collectors, while noting potential code update delays due to Pokémon's strict licensing requirements.

Key Claims

  • Pokémon is either the largest or second-largest IP license in pinball history, with only Hello Kitty comparable

    high confidence · Joel directly states: 'Pokemon is, if not the largest, the second largest team in the world. The only thing that's even close to it is Hello Kitty.'

  • Pokémon is not owned by Nintendo but is a separate entity, which complicates licensing

    high confidence · Joel explains: 'Pokemon isn't owned by Nintendo. Nope. It's a separate entity, right?' and later adds 'The Pokemon license is brutal.'

  • The game has 192 Pokémon available in it currently

    high confidence · Joel reads from game screen: '192 available Pokemon for now.'

  • Code updates for Pokémon may be slow due to licensing approval requirements

    medium confidence · Joel speculates: 'I'm guessing this licenser is a little bit of a challenge. So, I'm guessing code updates might be a little slow because of approvals.'

  • The Spike 3 screen on Pokémon uses only one cable for streaming, simplifying setup

    high confidence · Joel states: 'from a streaming capability, it's one cable. Oh. Oh, it's so nice.'

  • The left orbit feed on the Premium model is performing well without any adjustments

    high confidence · Joel notes: 'I would say the left orbit feed on this is very nice. And I haven't done anything to it.'

  • Pokémon pinball is being placed at multiple location venues, replacing existing games

    medium confidence · Joel states: 'Every location pinball has replaced at least one or more games with Poke.'

  • Joel expects to eventually buy a Pokémon Pro model by the end of the year

    medium confidence · Joel says: 'I'll probably end up with a Pokemon Pro by the end of the year.'

And then Jared, you were at Universal. Went to Universal. There's a lot of Harry Potter at Universal. You did a lot of Harry Potter. Four and a half days of Universal. Yep. All the different parks, all the everything. Yep. So, yeah. Anyway, we're back. Good ball. And then both of our kids have um they have spring break for two weeks. So, we're like we're like surviving, you know? Week one was was fun. Get out, do all the fun things. Week two is like, "Oh, we got to work and our kids want to stay up late and have no cares in the world." It's great. But Jared, did you buy the wands? Jared bought We bought three wands. Jared has two kids. Whole story. He has two kids. Two kids. Three. Ended up with three wands. And it wasn't for him. Nope. It wasn't for Nope. There's a Gen One and a Gen Two wand, guys. Yeah, it's what we learned. Yeah. It's all good. All right. Speaking of Gen One, hey, good transition, dude. Uh, Little Meatball. Great. We'll be watching those orbit fees closely. Both might hit the slings. Stern told the final. Um, yes, please feel free to watch. I've I've played three games on this. Happy Easter. And, um, I have not had a single feed. Straight down the middle. Nowhere near it. Nope. Um, so yes, see where they're at. Um, but yeah, I think I this game plays. If you guys haven't shot Pokemon, get out there and try to find one. It Why are you shooting the Pokemon? You don't shoot Pokemon. I haven't played this pinball machine. You have the Pokemon's fight. Just Just watch us play. This game actually plays fast. This game plays fast. Um, but when you find the shots, o everything just the combo shots of this, the speed, gh, it's so this is a fun one, guys, because I officially played the Pokemon before Joel played the Pokemons. Yes, I was at Rec Bar in Louisville on the way back and I said, Joel, they got a Pokemon's and I played it and then Joel spent the next 45 minutes on a phone call with me being like, "Tell me everything. Tell me everything about the Pokemon. everything. So, I am the real pinball wizard. He is Jared is uh this is the premium by the way. So, there is a magnet here and it does some pretty cool stuff and you're going to see the ball move and uh I tried to get you an angle where it'll when you catch a Pokemon that thing pops up which is pretty neat. Um this is going to be fun. We're going to have fun playing this tonight. Yes, I already see the comments. There are no achievements yet. So, I'm getting the vibe that Pokemon it's 81. I'm guessing this licenser is a little bit of a challenge. So, I'm guessing code updates might be a little slow because of approvals. Um, but everything that's in there right now is fun and I think there is there is going to be some depth to this game. So, I'm excited for this game. My kids are excited. They haven't played it yet. Uh, that'll be a tomorrow activity. But, um, we're going to play it. We're going to stop talking. We're going to play it. So, okay, here we go. Uh, I've got to make the comment Spike 3, that screen is awesome. So nice. That screen is awesome. And I will also say from a streaming capability, it's one cable. Oh. Oh, it's so nice. All right, Jared. You're up. So, I mean, when I was at Reck Bar, couldn't really hear the music. So, the music Oh, we're we're going to be hearing it. We're going to begin our Pokemon. Yeah. Nintendo being difficult, they are. And also, this gets even more complicated. The Pokemon license is brutal. Pokemon isn't owned by Nintendo. Nope. It's a separate entity, right? Game rolling on. Adventure ahead. Yeah. Um, heck yeah, this guitar. Oh, dude. It's all right. So, I will hold in the left flipper and we'll see where this ball goes. But um if you're wondering what to do in Pokemon, it's shoot any major shoot the Bulbasaur shot three times or the Squirtle shot three times or the Pik Pikachu shot three times. Jared's comboing things. That's four combos. If he was to hit the captive ball right now, he would that would be a combo cash out. Oh, it's already timed out. And he would get four Pokeballs for that. And this balloon can be Team Rocket demands Pokemon. Got to be the best. When did Jared get so good? Jared made the comment at Recar. He goes, "I know I'm an like like he's not a terrible player." No. But playing this game makes you feel good. All right. That's the six. Creature Sync is murder. All right. Train free are the games all own Pokemon. Did you open any turtle packs? I have not opened any turtle packs cuz when I open the turtle packs you cause we will be together on stream. Yes. It's It's funny how turtle has come out. Turtles has come out with magic and we haven't touched it yet because we're like holding we're we're we're waiting on the stream target. All right. All right, the town targets they were talking about is they're way over there. Right over here. Shoot Pokédex. All right, I need to shoot Pokedex. That's the purple shot. Nope, that's Captain Ball. Give me time. Nope, missed it. So far I would say music the vibes are mystery baby theme baby game. Okay, there we go. Pikachu mode. If you had to guess what pitch do you have it set to the right one? I don't know. Uh I have it at probably I don't know 6.7. I basically have it set to where I set every stern name. I essentially eye halfway up on the on the leg levelers and then I call it a day. The bubble is at the is touching the top line. That right ramp and that that Bulbasaur ramp. I love the feel of that. Like everything everything about this the way this shoots is just a blast. All scoring is done. Uh if you ever see Pikachu's cheeks on the playfield uh flashing, that means you're in 2x scoring. Okay. I did not beat that mode. Where's Poochu? Uh, Poo Poo. Our Pikachu shirts got sent out. The Pooch got sent out to the crowd. I not sure if you can still buy one for Victor of Mr. Bigmon. Did you see that feed everybody? Dude, get that sparrow. Okay, so to catch the Pokemon, I have to hit the captive ball. There we go. Now I have to hit Pokemon to light the Poké Ball. very docile. If attacked, it will often shoot. There we go. And then now, God, the Pokéball was open. Pokéball is open. Dang, it is a Pidgey. Oh, I'm going to get some 25% off. By you mean that. What's the first? Also, if you want to buy a pinball machine, sack of flipping outpball.com. Yeah. Kirk Cobs, what up, my man? Dude, it might be time. It might already be time to break into some surprise. Here we go. Bury targets add value. Well, you have to hit enough of them and then the and then you can catch. So Jared, the way this works is he has discovered a Pokemon. So you hit enough things to discover a Pokemon. Then once you discover the Pokemon, you have to hit this is a meow. Sweet and spicy. I'm going try the sweet spicy. So after that bar fills up enough, then you have to hit the captive ball. And once you hit the captive ball, that like starts the catch a Pokemon mode. And then you have to hit enough purple shots and then you catch it on the left. All right. You guys opening any Pokemon cards tonight? Nope. Look at that feed. It went straight to the flipper. I have Pokemon cards. I don't have Pokemon cards. Pokemon discovered. Sneak in. So, here's the crazy thought that I had this morning. Okay. I have always encouraged people. Jared, PA sucks. Remember Pokemon. There we go. There's a purple. I would say Poke mediocre. There's a purple shot. Kids that grew up with Pokemon are in their 30s. There we go. Okay. And still love it. We did. Let me see if I can catch a ball. And the kids still love it. They do. Poké Ball is open. There it is. Got a Pokémon. No, guys. Pokemon is, if not the largest, the second largest team in the world. The only thing that's even close to it is Hello Kitty. Okay, now that I've caught a Pokemon, I can hit the scoop for a battle. or just drain down the middle. That will be lit for the third ball. You know, that's fine. You're buying the cards because of the pinball machine. I mean, any excuse to open up some cards is so battle targets progress progress only buried targets only. Go for the battle. So, Pokemon Numero Uno, Hello Kitty, Numero Deeps. Guess where Bladerunner is? nowhere on the list because no one gives a crap about Blade Runner except for me. Okay, so you see this bar? Yeah, that means the more stuff that you hit, that bar is going to fill up. And then he'll discover a Pokemon once it's filled up. See the bar? It's filling up cuz he hits some switches. Pokemon filled up. He discovered it. So now he wants to hit the captain ball. Captive ball. Captain balls. Not the balls. Pat the balls in the trough. Yeah, the captain ball. Yeah. Oh, that is sweet. And then it gets spicy. Sweet. That is spicy. Magnum. Look at that feed. Super skill shot. All right. I want to do a battle. Let's get over here. You can hold left flipper, short, and hit me. Charmander for skill shot. Not Charmander. He's got to keep his flame up. If his flame goes out, he gets sick. So, fun fact, my on the drive down to Gatlinburg, we watched I say we, our my kids watched the first like 30 episodes of the original Pokémon. Uhhuh. So, I could listen to it. Still great. And this is an emotional episode. This Oh, the Charmander episode. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Charmander episode's tough. The Pikachu episode's tough. But Charmander's staying staying on that rock because his owner Damian said he would be back for it. Stupid and he never came back for Charmander. How could you do that? I don't know. But Ash finds him and goes, "We're Betty's now." Yes, Jesse and James would have been nice, but we do miss him. But we got some Meowth and I do love some meow at Butterfree. Yes, Butterfree episode. That one's rough, too, dude. Early Pokemon on episodes has they were get your emotions going. Team, you know, the hard thing is Team Rocket is the bad guys, right? But Jesse and James are so cool. They're likable. All right. I do like Jesse and James. Now later Team Rocket's a little more evil and other Team Rocket kind of evil. Jesse and James are just hanging out with me. They're just trying to do shenanigans. I don't know if people are noticing, but this the left orbit feed on this is very nice. And I haven't done anything to it. I don't know who did the music for this game, but good job. We got the vibes right. It's It feels like Pokemon. Feels very Pokemon. All right. Can I hit that shot? Thank you. How do you save money on B6? I don't know. You could uh not that one. There we go. You could use pinball for 20% off at Win. Two more. Four. Running out of time. Squirtle. Two. One. Time is up. Dude, I am nailing the the places between the ramps. All right, let me battle. Nope. You know, you're right. Stern does have a lot of yellow flippers cuz I'm like X-Men yellow flippers. Godzilla yellow flippers. X-Men is special. It's red with the yellow. All right, so the goal tonight. The goal tonight is to get to Charizard. Enter your initial. Mention Jared for 20% off or Pinball for 25%. The The goal for tonight is to get to Charizard. Charizard is a mini wizard mode. To get to Charizardiz, you have to play all four modes. So, I had played three of them. So, I think we have a chance. And I think Jared has a chance. Do I? Yeah. Oh, yeah. This game's great. 70. Trainer two. My home state of Minnesota. Our football team, the Vikings, are referenced explicitly. I've heard I've heard about that. training standups on the left do these the Eevee targets. I genuinely don't know. Chat, what do they do? I just realized the instruction card is in Spanish. Disco Pokemon in blue. My Spanish excellent. Something on the playfield. Turn it over. I know, but the glass is in the way. Shoot Pokedex to scan Pokemon. Oh, there is something on the playfield. That's why I drained. Not because of my lack of skills. It's um the sticker of one of the targets. Okay, hold that. Not my fault. Not Jared's fault. Nope. Let me go ahead and get that. Thank you. And you know what? I'm leaving the Spanish instructions. Spanish instructions are the best instructions. They are muen. The trainer plunges on. Sweet and spicy. That is adventure begins. All right, here we go. Boom. Nope. Immediately got the mystery. What am I doing? Whoa. I do like a me the magnet. Hit the target. Fix it with some 46 MP millipascals. What kind of Spanish instructions in espanol Joel? It's that's what you need to be doing. That's the marker you're not hitting. What? Joel talks through how to beat me machines in Spanish. Hola, Miss Amigos Biblote. Where's the library? Um, I don't know. I I did actually take two years of Spanish. I probably should. Come on, dude. Pokemon. There it is. So, the Pokédex is the captive ball. Yeah. Okay, let me focus on that. Let me ball. Everything's so fast. Oh, no. The machine's too fast. Three, two, one. Ah, Jigglypuff got away. No. Dang it, Jigglypuff. Dang it. Dude, I love that left the left orbit orbit. I love the way that two orbit sick. Pokemon discovered. There we go. Pokemon.

See, I can't I don't know what cuz we haven't even been able to talk about Jared is obsessed with Argene de Putrine. Yeah. What do you call me? Is that one of them curse words? I don't think we can say that on the stream. It's very Canadeian. So, come on. Come on. do Squirtle stuff, which is shoot blue lives. Do the magnet. That Team Rocket, they're always trying to mess you up. Nobody ask about the Tilbo. Just don't even So, have we ever figured out what Team Rocket's trying to accomplish? They're trying to steal. They've been tasked with stealing like the best Pokemon out there. But why? So, they think Pikachu is super impressive. But why do they need the best Pokemon? Cuz they're bad people. Oh, they're bad. Okay, they need the best like no one ever was something something Giovani. Did I beat that mode? I did. I did beat the mode. We're to one total squad has saved the day. Can you backhand the Pikachu ramp for the next? Not like that. If it's if it's on a roll, you can. Oh no, it's coming down fast, dude. Wait, you got to go fast. Got to go. No, this isn't Sonic, Jared. That's Sonic. Come on. This is the Pokemon. Hey, let's catch Pokemon. Let's catch the Pokemon. Get the Sawyer is saying only the battle targets, which is what I did. Don't let me catch the back. Get the sneaky snake. There it is. Nice. There we go. Joel, when's doing arriving? Technically, it could arrive whenever I want it, but I've told him let's wait. I want to be one of the last. Can you backhand Jared? I think I've done it before. tennis. You played for years. Can I backhand in tennis? Yeah, that was actually my best shot. Backhand, forehand. All right, let's let's do a battle. That's what I Okay, bump up, Joel. Bump up. Joel, you got to slap the machine. Begins, which is snake backwards.

No, we rented the DVDs from the library, Jared. Oh, bad. From El Bibliotech. Baby doesn't mean difficulty. It means lack of complexity. Okay. Ainess. This game is very straightforward. So my thought this morning was I've always preached I think everybody needs a Valley Williams game in their collection this canyon. Like get get a game that's very obvious. Anybody can step up. They know what they need to do. Get one of those games. Pick the Pokeball. Catch the Pokeball. Left ramp. No. Jared. No. Yes. Uh I thought it was taxi. Taxi is a great example. Adventure continue. That is what I'm saying is this game I think might fit that bill. Oh, wait a second. But Joel, aren't you saying that we don't know pinball because we don't love Bally Williams games and talk about them continuously? We're just having But now you're comparing it to a Valley Williams game, but it's a baby game. Baby game. history. All right. But I think this game could be very approach very approachable to a lot of people. So the fact that you could have a modern game that I know will one day have her machine is a joker poker. I don't know what that is. That's a That's a machine. I was guessing it was a pin's machine. Go Pikachu. See, Pikachu didn't become a Raichu. This is the most powerful Pikachu.

Squirtle. Dude. That's the only places you can catch Ditto. Um, that's only in the the place you have to pay to get in there like zoo. That's what I remember from the blue and red to catch the No, I looked I looked away Pokemon. You don't beat after midnight. What's the most difficult shot in this game? Save the day. The money you have to put in Safari Zone. Whichever shot you're aiming for. Um, I want to be the Maybe the scoop. Knock yourself out. Yeah. What is Do we know what the button does? Okay. I've seen there's times when the button flashes green when you're in a multiball. That's an addabal. So if you drain down to your last ball, smash it and it'll throw the ball back in. World pool's a little disappointing. Ball doesn't have much energy by the time. Needs a Hot Wheel supercharger. Okay. If you hit it clean, it's nice, but it is interest. I mean, they they put a lot of holes in this thing and bumps in it. like they really wanted that ball to not be in there a long time. Let's see if Jared can can hit this left ram clean here. So, I mean, it does it does what it needs to do, but it's not it's not like a ball is the only action button. [] Thank you, Victor. All right, let's hit that left ram, Jared. Left ram. Yeah. What about right ram? No. See how the left one's flashing faster than the other. Okay. I'm just trying to get it under control though. Or go right up the middle for multiplay. Not the side. Oh no. It's okay. Why am I so bad at pinball? The Squirtle Squad has Why have it if you want to dump the ball? Time for the next adventure. I would be curious if somebody made a modventure of a smooth one. I would be surprised. All right, I need two more modes. Or I could battle. Looks like I'm battling. Super skill shot. All right, let's go. I'm taking you down, Caterp. I need the ball. Thank you much. I need to hit something besides to stand up. A real shocker. Lord scoring is double. Impressive. There it is. Nope. Caterpie. You can't make this stuff up. You're like a little bug. Who did you lose to Joel? Caterpie. Man, trainer one is up. Oh, the farm. It's so spicy. All right, for anybody that actually bought this, we got 25% off. I'm curious your thoughts. Feel free to say in chat if you're watching YouTube afterwards. Share your thoughts. I'll probably end up with a Pokemon Pro by the end of the year. I I mean, that's my favorite Pokemon right there. Scyther. Scyther was my favorite growing up. slashes through grass with its sharp sides, moving too fast for the human eye to track. You got to hit that left ramp, baby. The ramp don't hit that lip. Joel. Oh god, it's spicy. I get it. So, you remember this beat a mode and you hit the captain ball after three left ramps for Squirtle, six screenshots for Bulbasaur, and 100 spins for Charmander. Wait, what? That's all you have to do is you need to hit the captive ball. Three left tramps to Squirtle. Dang it. Six screenshots for ball. 100 spins. That's it. All right. Well, I keep inhaling Victor. That's the problem. All right, let me start in orbit mode. That's so That's Squirtle. That's Pikachu. That's Squirtle. That's Pikachu. That's Squirtle. I need to I need to wait a little bit. There we go. Pokemon discovered. There we go. There we bounce that suck. And then I want to go up the middle if I can. Oh, there we go. right, six green shots. I think I've hit one. All double. And that ball's gone cuz I keep hitting all the standups. What you drinking, Jared? Absolutely delicious, boys and girls. Minimade zero shirt. Aha. There's the story mode complete. Nice job, Sawyer. Wait, Sawyer was right. Sawyer was totally right. I feel like Sawyer like reads the manuals. I read the manual. Plays attention or watches people play. Guess I sent the wrong team for this. Are targets considered green shots uh in that mode? Maybe. I don't know. Squirtle. I just put a shot multiplier on the Squirtle shot. Come on. Charmander. Oh, Magikarp. I'm dist I get distracted. I want to catch Magikarp. I got to focus. I see Magikard's lit. Dude, I had three, once again, three modes done. Now, stop the presses. It's been easy to play this on location for now. Every location pinball has replaced at least one or more games with Poke. Dude, I mean, this is going to this makes total sense for location. I feel bad for the people that had issues with the left orbit. This home it it feeds perfect. Sawyer, do more math. It's a tough shot. Demod. Okay, I'm going to focus. I'm going to go Charmander first. Are you going to be the very best? It's like no one ever was. Yeah, just stay up there. Oh, now that's the plan. Spicy. Hit the town targets to light the outline save. But so sweet. Dang it. Char, let's go. Trainer two is popping. Not Charmander. Okay, that's cool. I want to be I want to keep the ball in place and not train it off. How's it going, guys? Goliath, it is great, dude. Jared, I do lots of math. In my second favorite subject behind New Testament class, I do algebra 2. Nice. Sawyer, how's um how's lady friendly, bro? Hit those purple. Trainer 2's adventure continues. Left orbit feeds right. It's so spicy. Why do I don't put it then start talking? Let's go. Come on. Jump ramp at the top. There it is. Is that considered a jump ramp? I mean, the ball does jump to light the out ball save. Char. 10 bucks. You deserve this for playing this game for two hours. Thanks, Brandon. Hey, Brandon. I don't know. I'm having fun. left again. I'm not even going to play. Can't handle the heat. You can't handle it. Charmander, you're too hot. Turn your tail down. Has anybody seen um Zack in chat? Cuz if he's not in chat, we might be giving away some beef sticks. There's that cutie. Who's that Pokemon? Who is this? Who's that Pokémon? A 10 is $13 Canadian. Nice. Stuff the flailing Pokemon fluffy fur is a delight to petelessly reaching out to touch this Pokemon. My daughter would lose her red panda. Hit it. Catch the Pokemon. Got to hit the ones up top. No, I'm trying. Ski jump. Yeah. When the ball's coming down the left ramp, ski jump it over to the right. A ball three. And I've done Why can't I be the very best? Because of Alains. Like no one ever was. No, I've been draining down the middle. It's my real chance. Betraying them is my cause. Okay, man. All right, Pokemon discovered shooting this Pokemon. Okay, we need to just be listening to Sawyer because he knows everything about the Pokemon in his element is perfect. However, it took Play better. Thank you, Professor Terry. Play better. Ditto. Mine. Got him. Uh, we do I do have the Popcopia game on the Nintendo Switch 2 and it is great. Let's battle. I'm taking Caterpie down. Yes, you can back in the scoop. Scyther. I like Scyther. I don't want to battle. Take Scyther down. Time for this trainer and Pokemon team. This is a baby game. What does that make Joel and Jared? People who enjoy baby games. We're just a little baby, dude. I mean, that comes back to we don't know anything about pinball. Yeah, we play baby games. Holy crap. So, is Deadpool a baby game? Holy crap. Oh, I can't hit a single shot. This is not baby enough. Uh, you said we play we play like every game. We play games that kick our butts. We've played games that we feel great on. We have games we have a lot of fun on. We have games we have a little fun. Withers, dude. You going to buy one of these, Joel? Dude, Crooked Young. So, what I need I need my kids to play it. They haven't played it yet. But if if my son loses his mind on this game, like I do I do like the simplicity of it. Like honestly, that's what I'm saying. Have like a a Bali Williams level game. Just something blatantly obvious. You step up, people can hit the shots, they know what they need to shoot. You got an awesome bash play right up the middle. We've been avoiding it because we're trying to get through options. Um I don't know. I'm I'm I like that. Like that's that's exciting for me is uh so maybe and then the shots feel good. This is uh something bell. This is the evolved version of something. Spirit track chang their inner board. It can be fast. They should all look like this. What? Pin monkey playfield looks very nice. So Oh, yes. Time is up. I will say this is my Oh, the Spike 3 cabinet just cuz we haven't had a Walking Dead remake. Like I like it. 2 is up. Bell's No, it's that it's the one above it. That dude, Sawyer is like Sawyer is a man with a plan. All right, get out of there. Huh? Nope. Okay, I'll take that side. There it is. Come on, Charmander. I think another set of spins. That counts. There it is. Okay. Charmander locked and loaded. Charizard. There it is. See? Finding charm. So, he's saying to beat the mode, all I need is 100. Spins. Dude, I just killed it. Act now. And this balloon can be your ride. Must bring me that Pikachu. Shoot the town scoop to collect a mystery reward. I've I've just shot everything but the Charmander shot. Spinner's worth a ton of points right now. Well, it's on the wrong side. that's one way to do it. Okay, we are going to do a Walking Dead remaster stream as soon as there's new code cuz we streamed The Walking Dead not that long ago. Dude, I need like four. Looks like I'm not beating Charmander. Nope. Sorry, Charmander. Charmeleon. The journey continues. But I'll do Pikachu. What's telling you that you did the Charmander? It's just lit. Yeah. Okay. Pokemon discover. So, I did beat Charmander. I don't think you beat it. It's just It's lit. The single horn Pokemon. I got Sorry. I got to catch this Pokemon real quick. Don't mind me. Hold up, dog. I got to catch this Pokemon. Got to put throw my cigarette down and just catch Pokemon. Got to put that Pokéball. Paracross. Got him. Did we catch them all yet? Insanity, how are you doing, dude? Guys, huge shout out to Insanity Pinball to start a rival battle. I he is my go-to for Dune Dune videos because he's good. Uh he got to the final wizard mode on Dune and he has it caught and it's on it's on YouTube if you want to watch it. It's great. He also got to the final wizard mode of Harry Potter. Like it's uh I love me some Carl D'Python Anghelo, but Carl's been busy, you know, like designing pinball games. So lame. But um Insanity Pinball has done an awesome job like streaming games to the max. Like so Insanity is good at pinball. Insanity Pinball is very good at pinball. So why are you guys watching us? Watch him. Well, he's not streaming right now. Oh, okay. Hey, these are the these are the freaking Charmander shots I needed to be doing. This is wild. It's happening fast and furious. And this next battle is a make or break for trainer Pokemon team. Oh, not you again. Got him. What's green? Oh, green means I could change my Pokemon. So, if you had a Pokemon, I was tired. I was trying to change it. You could get a There you go. Watch. I can change him. Chooses Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur. Nice. So, now I got a full health Pokemon. Now, I don't know why that shot over there is purple. Focus. United and unstoppable incoming. Oh, it's a different poison attack. I just did a blue shot up the middle. I need shot on the right. Impressive. Dude, I'm about to die. Oh, double flip. Why did I do that? Real showdown. I got a Pokemon. Is that all one? 11 of 82. How do you have 11 Pokemon? Bazar. Purple shots are poison type. Grass are green. Ooh, there's some depth here. Super effective shots. Do the type matches matter? I think in the future they're going to make it do that. Hey, just a heads up. Uh, don't eat the oxygen absorber packet in the beef jerky, but feel free to buy some for 25% off. You going to want some story begins. Char. Let's go, Jared. Save him. He's sitting on that rock. Want to save him so bad. Damian's supposed to come back. He has to come back. 100 spins. There it is. Look at that spinner. How many spins? That one's one shot. 67 spins. All right, hit it again. Ah, hit Charmander. Act now and this balloon could be your ride. Work right up the middle to get demands Pokemon. N hit. There it is. That's definitely enough. Now you just have to hit the captive ball. Captain ball. And you uh you beat the mode. All scoring is doubled. There it is. You have beat the mode. So the mode. Okay. If we look over here, you see that's flashing. That's telling me you beat it. I think you change Pokemon in the scoop to the last shot you made. If you choose Charmander orbit, then the scoop will be red and you'll get Oh, so you can plan ahead. Nice. So Jared beat Charmander. We can go the fly catcher Pokemon. Okay. Hit those shot. So, Sawyer told us these shots just build the value. So, really, it's the shots in the back are what Jared cares about. There they are. Now, I'll hit catch that. Let me just catch this Pokemon real quick. Let me just catch No, that's Oh, that's that's No. Oh, he got away. That's a That's a Trainer 2's adventure. Oh, that's a breath through the lip. Where did I put that sticker? Where Yeah, there's Bob, the weirdly old Pokemon trainer. I started late. Okay, you don't understand. I had these kids. I got to get them through college. No, I got them through college. I got a new college. Now it's time for me to me. And then I was like, Bob, what you want to be? And I said, the very best. Well, if I can't be the very best father, it's time to be. I'll catch the Pokemon and make them bite. I was like, hold up, dude. Is that a teapot? Is that Mrs. Pots? What? Dude, I got distracted. I want to catch I want to catch the teapot. Yeah, this is a definite Florida man. Mistakes were made. Well, you know what got me through? Poke mans. Yeah, maybe that's why she left me. But my Pokemon won't Pikachu. Let's use you. Pikachu. Don't give me that sass. Pokemon discovered. I get you three squares a day. No, Pikachu. You can't smoke this cigarette. Pikachu. I bet Zach loves where this joke went. Guys, hold. Oh, that's Caterpie. No, not Caterpie. Uh QA guy. It's not technically hour two. Yeah. True. But we are in hour two territory. That happens sometimes. Hour two creeps into hour one. And it's not that we're not having fun. No, it's we're having a good time. But the jokes, the jokes. When I was a kid, we couldn't have Pokemon. I had a cat. I was like, "Hey, cat, are you a meow?" And cat was like, "No, cat. I choose you." See this scar? It's from the cat. It wasn't a meow with cat. Use spur ball. Undefeated. Damn. Woo. There we go. Squirtle shot and then cap the ball to finish it. Eyesman's transformers. I did. All right. Doesn't have any pops. I feel like there's pops in the back. Save the day. There's one right here and one right there. Pikachu versus Raichu. Let's go, Raichu. All right, so super jackpot's all I need in this mode, which I'm guessing is yellow shots. So, I have a green. I My add a ball button is lit. And I don't know what I did to light it, but I have it. Joel vibes. You just get an addal. Why do you have to think you have to do things? Can I hit a yellow shot? Thank you. Can you hit a yellow shot? You got to do that quick attack. How many What is What does it say? How many to to get to the super checkpot? Oh, that's it. Uh, two more. Two more to light super cool came out of nowhere. Nice. Now, where is the super jackpot on Pikachu? One more jackpot to like super jackpot. There it is. But you also have a bar that you're filling up. I do not think I beat that mode. I did not beat that mode. Okay. So, you only have Did I beat Baby Sur? See, I wish these like they're all solid. So, that makes me feel like I don't think I beat it. No, but you did enough. So, now you just have to do Babiser. Babasur. Okay, I'm ignoring you. Freaking seahorse guy. Stupid seahorse guy. Goat. There we go. Hold your babies for your wife. Okay. Got to do your pollen awards to like the final shot, which would be at the captive ball. I think that's what Sawyer said. Sawyer's smart. Smart man. He does New Testament and algebra, too. Oh, I saw that as soon as that happened. That was That was my freaking fourth mode. The trainers bond with their Pokemon. I'm not bonding with you, Bulbasaur. What? Why did you disrespect Bulbasaur? As the journey continues, did I have multiball lit score? Should I just do multiball? I probably had multiball. Enter your initials, you idiot. Sawyer, we got time. We just got into our two. Just got into our two. Amazing store. Oh, hey. Enter your initials. Hey. All right. Oh, that looks good. Are people enjoying this stream? I'm enjoying this game. Like, I really I like the way it shoots. Now, I understand once I get to Charmander, then I'm going to have to pivot and start focusing on just collective Pokemon. I'll get the teacup. I'll get Mrs. Pots. I'll get the seahorse. I'll get um the the Mankey with the This is good game. This is good game. Uh what's what's that in Spanish? Uh game. Uh I don't know what game is. Ace. This this is I'm more tolerating this stream. Thank you Jabber. Thanks for being here. Oh is Jabber. Who cares? About to come. Okay. Now, let's do a segment that I've never um I've never done before. We have segments. It's this brand new one. It's help Joel pick which keychain. No board to tears. Sorry, Andrew. I like the way it shoots. I do too. Do I go with my original starter Pokemon? Where is All right. Which keychain am I stealing? Charmander. Squirtle. Squirt. Squirtle. Bulbasaur. To collect a mystery award or be. Why is my ball save here and not here? Cuz it switches with your flower which will never wilt. It has way less code than than Okay. Victor. Yes. Is it fun? You guys look a little over it. No, honestly, knock yourself out. I get bored of games really fast when the shot geometry is not fun. I do actually like the way this shoots. Uh-huh. It shoot real nice. I actually like the way this shoots. Um, which keychain? I think you got to do the Charmander. I was either thinking Charmander or Pikachu. Just Yeah, Pikachu is overrated. Pika pika. Pika [] But it matches my shirt. You see my Pikachu shirt? Oh, I didn't even realize you had a Pikachu shirt on. It's not Roosevelt. I had to search this out. Look at all the little Pikachu. Oh, I like that little guitar in there. All right. I play a lot betterly, so score is always on my mind. Okay. Can't wait to play. I do. I mean, here's the thing. It's going to get better. There will be more code added, like guaranteed. So, I like the way it shoots. I have no issues with the geometry of the game. So that to me it's like that's an awesome solid foundation and it's going to get better. It's going to get better. And look, there are a lot of games we've played that don't shoot nice. This one shoots nice, so that's good. I mean, I just comboed three shots in a row and then found the It's kind of like what I was saying to Joel. This thing's going to sell a lot of games. Uh they're going to be out there. You're going to be able to play their Pokemons. They're going to be people that are going to play the Pokemons that aren't pinball people. And that's pretty fun. Okay, let me get little pink leafy guy. I personally I kind of like the art package on it. It's kind of simple, but that's kind of nice. Classic. It drifts on winds. It is said that when gas to catch the Pokemon me just catch Pokemon real quick. Shoot that peck man. Backhand it baby. There we go. Boom. Tom prediction. Where do you guys think this will eventually land in top 100? Tom, it'll be in top 100. I mean, there's going to be a lot of people that are probably going to poo poo this early on because either they played on location, left orbit wasn't in a good spot, or they think it has little code, but I I do trust Where's John Wick at right now? 1.0. No, no, I'm saying in top 100. Is John Wick in top 100? Oh, yeah. Okay. All right. Squirrel, swirl. That's all I got to say. Okay. Um, I think this is going to be a big money maker for Stern. Uhhuh. So, I think it absolutely makes sense for Stern to invest as much time and resources as possible on this game. Hey, let's let's go back to the real fun game though. What game has Stern stopped working on? None of them yet. Uh, no. There's games that have finished in the last 3 years. Is that enough? Boom. They're still working on X-Men. Nailed it. Got John Wick up to speed. We got James Bonds up to speed. I love that shot. Smalle Squad has saved the day. Just in time for the next adventure. Well, hold up. Masters in the Universe is pretty cool. Looks like I'm battling to the forest. Oddish, you're going down. Glorified turnup. Why are you so rude to the Oddish? It's more of a radish than a turnup. Shoot the town scoop to collect a mystery award. I'm in the middle of a battle. Toxic twist. No, I do like the call call outs on this punish. It'll end up like 40 in a few. I mean, honestly, I just I get it. I understand why people could say it's like it's simple. It was made to be simple. This game's going to sell. It already has sold a gazillion of them. It's made to be simple. It's a fan layout. I like your theory. It's a fun game to play. Yes. Play one and it shoots great. Now, when you compare this to something like Winchester, Winchester is an insane layout with a turntable with like the the layout of the playfield is changing based on the modes. All the modes feel very different. Winchester is two turntables and a microphone. Winchester. It's like that's nuts. That's Winchester. When if you compare Winchester or even Beetlejuice to Pokemon, yes, they are drastically different games. But so is Winchester and Cactus Canyon or Winchester and Monsters, you know, like Okay, I heard somebody say strong rumors on Batman coming. Crash Game Panda. I just heard they're remaking Batman 66, not a remaster. I Hey, if it's Batman 66, I like Batman 66, but I don't love like Batman 66 is already a masterpiece. If they're making a new Batman trainer 2 is up. I like Batman. I like Batman a lot. Does this do anything at 12? I highly doubt it. It's 081 code. Strong rumors of Batman. Trash can ninja, are you hanging on them trash cans again? Listen to that rumors. I love Batman. All right. Can I call to this or Deadpool? Deadpool. Deadpool is a finished game. Deadpool's Deadpool, but there are people that don't like Deadpool and would like Pokemon more. There are people that think Deadpool is too simple. Whatever. Or too shallow. The code is too shallow. I do think this game is going to end up with some death. Yep. Have we streamed Batman 66? We have not. That is the only Spike 2 game we have not streamed and it's one of the few himmo machines that Jared enjoys greatly. Have you gotten a Mr. Sinister? I have not. I'm not saying it's Mr. Sinister on Deadpool. Uh, nope. I just love playing Deadpool. At Wreck Bar, they had a Deadpool. I'll put some cash in that one. No. God, this game can get so fast. Bond with their Pokemon mystery. I mean, Kid, it's a great game. Like, there's that's what's cool about pinball is honestly I say kid Chris Christian. Like if I want to sit here and compare Beetlejuice to Winchester to Pokemon to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, like drastically different. When is bug sending Scoo? I think Zach has one. We're going to do it at some point in time. A Scooby DoobyDoo. Where are you? Dive. You'll have 12 story modes alone plus all the mini wizard modes. I think you're right because there's four inserts right here for many wizard modes. Plus, there's Team Rocket Battles up here. Plus, different regions have different insert. I mean, I think there will be depth to this game. Now, if shooting this game is just a walk in the park for you and you think it's going to get boring, then okay, fine. I don't think so. Spin isn't as easy as the pro players want to be saying it. Yeah. Marshall. Yeah, I I want to play Scooby-Doo. I would love to stream that. Beetlejuice was got at the same time as Winchester at my local arcade. It's amazing. They're all There's some amazing pinball coming out right now. Pikachu versus Raichu. All right, one more jackpot to light Super Jackpot. So, that's just a yellow shot. See this? This shows how the progress that Jared's made. And if you notice, Jackpot the bar now. Actually, he hit a jackpot. Okay, he has a little bit. Just a little baby. We need to hit a lot more of those Pikachu jackpot. So, it's the super jackpot. Shoot the Pokedex. Jackpot. Is that literally all you have to do to beat the mode? Shoot the Pokédex. You did not beat the mode. Destiny has arranged more meetings for our wandering trainer. Captain Ball. That's like He literally has to hit one shot, then hit the super jackpot shot, and then hit the Pokédex, and that's it. Pokemon discovered monkey with a hand tail. Hey, you got light extra ball. Where is extra ball? Get the extra ball. Where is Oh, it's on the scoop. Of course, Matthew, are you punk? What? Extra ball. Pokemon is better than Beetlejuice. I suspect they're waiting for some lighter. Yeah. two one more than one to light super but yes I didn't realize it was that easy of a mode double prizes um for people that care about points I was reading on tilt forums when you complete the modes you have shot multipliers that you can assign that's what these inserts are and they are very helpful to points all should be on hit purple but it would feel different at electric power kind of shock causes it to discharge energy. All right, catch that Pokemonly. Shoot the Pokemon. Got it. Hit that Pokemon. Catch it. Let me let me check. Let me catch that Pokemon real quick. Okay, let me let me catch that Pokemon real quick. Right. No, let me just let me just catch that Pokemon. Oh, no. Pichu, I choose you. I choose you. You have been chosen. Shoot the town scoop to start a rival battle. Or don't hit Charizard. Best 1.0 under Seth is Metallica remake. Yeah. Well, Ray is awesome. Ray added a lot to that game. It's electric. How would you describe it? Okay, so you're in a battle. That just happened. So I'm curious how that grass attack after he beats Oddish here it goes to another Pokemon. So is it a two Pokemon battle? There we go. Down to one Pokemon. Yeah. Okay. It's two Pokemon. So now he has another Pokemon. Oh, Metabod. Metabod. Metapod. Use Harden. There you go. Oh, I don't believe it. I just huge completion times needs more co. So I I think that yeah the rival battle is that insert. So he was doing the rival battle of the wooded area. So if he would beat that it would move him to the next area which is water. Interesting. Oh, I think you're in water. You're in the water area now. Squirtle. square. All scoring is double. So, I'm guessing he has to catch a Pokemon here and then he could do another battle, which makes sense cuz catching a Pokemon is based on hitting number of shots. So, the more shots you hit, guess Metabot was too hard for him. Yeah, Metabot. You need to catch two Pokemon to do the water battle. All right. I got three modes. Yeah. That means on both three. Is that was right in time for the next adventure. All right, I have two modes I got to do. Needs one to catch battle, two to catch battle. Oh, okay. What is that one? The fairy. No, this Pokemon. This balloon can be your ride. All right, let me No, it's one of them new Pokemon. No escape. I don't know the new Pokemon. Yeah, push that button. Meow. Time is up. AML. All right. Boosters. That's all right. So, this this mode I can beat really easily if I can hit a shot. Literally any shot cuz I'm missing all of them. There we go. That's a shot. Then I have to hit the double prices. Is that it? Jackpot. Did I just beat the moon? I think I did. All right, Charmander. Pokemon discovered. I'm ignoring you. I want to hit Charmander. Dude, you are a fat looking manatee. That's not Charmander. Nope. Four. 3 2 1 Time is up. Can I hit Charmander, please? That is not it. Charmander, please. Nope. Not the Just don't announce it. And I got the scoop and I got the P the Pikachu shot. Undiscovered. That's sad. I've hit enough shots. It's Smeal. All right. I want to save that, dude. Hit the shot. Oh my gosh. Hit the shot. Another seahorse one. I don't want to hit. You are in the water b. Oh my the the Charmander shot. It's gone. It is. There we go. Oh, good. Discovery. All right. Just Just give it a kiss. One more. One more and then I can hit with Psyduck. I could hit Psyduck right now. Psyduck the duck Pokemon. It is constantly racked by a headache. When the headache turns intense, I got distracted, guys. Mysterious powers. Got distracted by the side. It's Pikachu. Oh, yeah. I have to hit the right the right ramp. I'm sorry. I got distracted. I got Sorry, I got distracted. I'm sorry. It was Psyduck. He's cool. Truest. Your initials. Yeah, there's going to be a lot of this on the stream. Lots of We're gonna Let's do it. Let's I'm I'm ready to hone in.

You hit the captain ball. Then you hit the purple shots up at the top. Then you catch the Pokemon on the left ramp. That allows you to do a battle. Once you do the battle, win or lose, it kicks you out of the area, moves you to the next area. When you're in the next area, which is water, you have to do two Pokemon. Trainer two is up. Get off the plate. The glass, Ladybug. All right, I'm I'm catching Pokemons. I was going to go to bed, but I got to stick around for that beef. Let's go. I hope people play this.

I think you got to slow it down. This game can get very fast, very quick. I know. But those got to be like an swings are what screw me over as I lose the ball straight down the middle entirely on my own. Brainer one is up. It might be a quick game. We might be giving away beef. We might be giving away beef sticks pretty quick. I have an Ellie upstairs. Extremely addicting and frustrating. You want to catch them all and get pissed when you drain. Yeah. Now, Zach did send me a set of Pokemon interior expression light to catch the but he wants me to film a uh look at you little cotton ball guy. He wants me to film a uh install video when I put him in. I did not have time to do that today. So, I will do that soon. But next time we stream this game, there will be expression lights and it will look real nice. Scoop to collect the extra jump. Are there instructions to us? Time is up. Did you get him? You got him. Install is very different. I'm okay with that. Install on Spike one was kind of a pain to start a rival battle. You really kind of had to get the playfield out. Going to have a small tournament tomorrow night and we'll be playing this a bit. Extra bow. Following my premium. It's really weird how the whole side armor is an assembly that sits on top of the cabinet. Really? Double prices, baby. How do you get an extra ball? Uh, the extra ball that I could tell was you beat three modes. Beat three modes or it's a mystery award. Yeah. Go up the middle. Like right up the middle. Right now it's it's a colorful light. I want to know what up the middle does. Extra balls. Complete three story modes. Collect 50 Pokeballs or lighting uh is a rare mystery reward. Can't touch this. toxic final shot lights the captain after three lit left brings. Yeah, I think if you could dial it like go right up the middle. There it is. What did that do? You can just end the battle here and he got it from mystery. Yes. So now Jared is in the water area, so he has to catch a two Pokemon. Skill shot. Never thought I'd ever in my life drop a cino on some beef sticks. Well, if you do, boom. Use pinball for 25% off. That's awesome, man. Shaker Mutter. I do not not have a shaker motor in this game, but I I like adding shaker motors to any game that I buy. Honestly, if I was to own this game, it would have expression lights in the speakers. It would have It would have all of it just like an Ellie. All right, let's go. You need to hit three super jackpots. Who is Pokemon. Shoot Pokédex to scan Pokemon. Catch that Poké Ball. It's that bird guy, dude. Poke. Let me just catch this Pokemon real quick. Nice. What up, little birdie? Get that bird. Fletching. Let's do my battle. Shoot the town scoop to start a rival battle. Yeah, I see you use the promo code pinball. Dude, I'm doing that post pass too quick. Also remember guys that we would have none of this without Zack of Flipping Out. They're the best in the game. You know, so Amy did not realize that Zach was a distributor. He just thought he was a guy that just dropped machines off and I was like, "No, babe. He owns one of the best distribution companies in America." To collect the mystery award in the world. In the world. They seem absolutely unstoppable. Oh, that was I I saw that and I I hesitated. That was ball two. Dude, you're close to your second battle here. Or not your second battle, your second Pokemon. Pokemon discovered. There you go. A little hamster. Dude, hamster. Have you played Legends? Zah, you're talking to somebody else. I thought he was just the driver. Do you think Stern and Nintendo will make another machine together?

So, to catch a water Pokemon, I just need to I need to pay to be a winner just like in real life. You're all winners if you buy your trophy. I just got here. What are the overall thoughts of this game? Night Rooster. Your overall thoughts on this game are fun. It shoots very, very well. I enjoyed the shots a lot. The code is very simple to understand, but it's also very clear that there are four regions. Jared and I have only gotten into the second region. We've played the same mode per character. Obviously, they're going to add more modes there. Um, I've only seen one of the mini wizard modes. So, I feel like this stream has shown I don't know maybe 40% of what's going to be in this game.

I want to play more Pokemons. I know y'all are like, "Oh, it's a baby game and it has no code." I'm having a great time playing it. I'm sorry, nerds. It's a good time. I'm It shoots so well. Shoots so well. So, to me, it's like you can't ever change the geometry of a game. And the fact that geometry is good means that in my opinion, the game's only going to get better. Only going to get better. And I'll tell you what, if I was on location, the the addiction to this game is legit. Like, cuz it's you think like, "Oh, these shots are easy. These shots are safe." No, you get very frustrated at yourself cuz it's not the game's fault. It's your fault. I want to be the very best. Yeah. I like this game and people are hating on it. They just suck. I think it's great. I'm really actually very impressed. I'm having fun. I'm enjoying this game. Good game. I mean, sure, somebody like this game is in a completely different category to a Winchester or a Beetlejuice. Hey, guess what, guys? I'm having a lot of fun. This game's a lot more in my category than a Winchester. Well, on that note, is it more addictive than TNA? Oo, Bobby. TNA is pretty good time. Well, this has some banger soundtracks. Yeah, that that Bulbasaur bangs the catch the Pokemon. I still like the game, dude. I think I want people to play it. Go out and play it. Put the leftover B6 in there. All right. Next week, we will be playing I don't know. I mean, if there's a code update, we will probably be playing Pokemon. Otherwise, I don't know. We might play something else. We will see what happens. But I my initial first impressions of this game are I really like the way this shoots. I really like the way this shoots. So, I appreciate everyone that was here tonight. Yep. Uh, everybody have a great rest of your, uh, week. We will see you guys all next week.
