The sequel to the hugely successful Pok�mon Pinball which was on the Gameboy Color. This new version of the game features updated graphics and tighter mechanics. However this game does not feature the Rumble Pack which it's predecessor did. Instead, it allows vibrations to go through the Gamecube controller if you are playing it on the Gamecube Gameboy Player.

Like it's predecessor you have 2 boards to choose from, A Ruby Board and a Sapphire Board. These boards have multiple Pok�mon in them to help or thwart your attempts to capture Pok�mon in the area that you are in. Each of the boards has a variety of locations for you to discover, each with their own set of Pok�mon to capture

This game features a total of 205 Pok�mon to capture, containing the entirity of the Hoenn Pok�dex, the Johto starters and the Pok�mon Aerodactyl. It features various bonus rounds featuring these Pok�mon and even includes a new mechanic to allow for the obtaining and hatching of Pok�mon through eggs

The game also featured limited e-Reader compatibility, allowing for you to get various bonuses and more protection from failure and getting the various very rare Pok�mon easier.
