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. The ones you have seen in your
Pokedex are shadows.
Hint:
Reset high scores: The instruction manual that comes with the game contains an
error. The correct way to reset the high scores data is as follows. Press B
at the title screen to enter the high scores table. Press Up + Select.
The "Delete Data?" message will appear. Press A to reset
the high scores to the presets, or press B to cancel and return to
the high scores table.
Hint:
Tilts: Press Down to right tilt, B to left tilt, or Select
to up tilt.
Hint
: Extra ball: To get a extra ball, get Pikachu to shock the ball twenty to
thirty times. To make it easier, try to get "Double Pikachu".
Hint:
Unlimited balls: To keep your ball from dropping, repeatedly tilt the table as
the ball starts to fall down the hole. If done correctly, the ball should
pop back out.
Hint:
Great, Ultra, and Master Balls: To get a Great, Ultra, or a Master ball, light up the three
lights at the top of either table. You do this by touching the small
rectangles directly under the lights. The lights can be moved by pressing A.
You can go through the same rectangle and still go from a Great Ball to an
Ultra Ball to a Master Ball.
Hint:
Recommended controls: Set the game controls to the following effective and practical
configuration.
A: Right flipper B: Left flipper Up: Tilt/bump table up Left: Tilt/bump table left Right: Tile/bump table left
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Fast bonus round: To get to a bonus round quickly, on either field catch one
Pokemon. This may take some patience. On the red field, wait for Ditto to
move and on the blue field wait for the arrow to point to Slowbro. When
this happens, shoot the ball into the hole on the red filed. On the blue
field, shoot the ball into Slowbro's mouth. Choose to evolve the Pokemon
you have caught. When you are done evolving it, shoot the ball into the
hole that appeared when you evolved your Pokemon. Note: You must evolve
your Pokemon to do this trick. You also have to get the ball in the hole
if you want to go to the bonus round.
Hint:
Double Cave prizes: 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 prizes. For example, when you get the ball
saver bonus will be for 60 seconds instead of 30 seconds.
Hint:
Easy Cave bonus: Charge up Pikachu's kickback by doing a loop-de-loop around the
outside of the board. It should start a spinner, which will charge
Pikachu. Then, when the ball falls down to the bottom of the screen and
bumps Pikachu, he will do a Pikachu kickback. At this time, flip the
flippers so that the blank spot is over Pikachu's head. You have to be
quick so that the ball will go through the blank spot.
When the ball launches on the
Blue table, do absolutely nothing. The ball will go in the third cave
slot. If you have a ball saver, just do this four times to get an easy
cave bonus.
Hint:
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.
After playing the Mewtwo
bonus stage three times, try to go to the Indigo Plateau. Mew will appear
there. Although you can see him. you still have to attack him over 50
times before he will be captured.
Hint:
Zapdos: To get Zapdos, the legendary bird of thunder, go to Lavendar
Town on the Red game board. Make sure all of the arrows to the right loop
are lit up and none are blinking. To light them up, shoot the Pokeball
through the right loop. Then, shoot the Pokeball into Bellsprout's mouth
to have a good chance to find Zapdos.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Special stages: In order to get a special stage you have to catch three Pokemon
in one place. For example, if you catch Pikachu, Pidgey, and another
Pidgey in Viridian forest, without getting a "game over", or
switching to somewhere then back again, a hole marked "Go To
BONUS" will appear. Enter and you will be in the stage. The Red field
Bonus Stage is Diglett's Cave and the Blue field Bonus Stage is Meowth's
House.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Getting past the Cloysters or Voltorbs: If you caught in the Cloysters or Voltorbs, hold B + Down
to fall through.
Hint:
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. For example, if you choose Shellder, make the
Pokeball hit all three Water Stones, then shoot the ball into the hole in
the middle of the field.
Try the following trick if
you are having trouble hitting the ball up the outer left loop four times.
Whenever the ball is initially released into the field (when a new ball is
sent or your ball is saved), the ball will bounce up near the edge of the
right flipper. While the ball is in limbo, press Down to shake the
field left four times: once while the ball is rising, at its peak, and
twice on the way down. Hit the ball with the right flipper as soon as it
is in range. The tip of the flipper will strike the ball and it will
always go up the outer left loop. Another way is to stop the ball and hold
it with the left flipper up. The ball will spin counter-clockwise while it
is still. Now, release and immediately hit the left flipper. The ball
should roll a pixel or two down the flipper before shooting straight up
the Evolution Lane.
Hint:
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. For example, if you choose Pikachu, make the
Pokeball hit all three Thunder Stones, then shoot the ball in the hole in
the middle of the field.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Easy points: Go to options, then enter the Key Config. section. Set all of
the controls (Left Flipper, Ball Start, Right Tilt) except
"Menu" to A (or any other preferred button), then start
playing.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Easy Pokemon capture: Hit a Voltorb or Shellder, then hold A or B when
their shadows appear.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Finding Pokemon: Each Pokemon has a particular location where they like to hide.
Note: There are more Pokemon in each area but those are the ones that you
will find most often.
