Pokémon Pinball - A Pokémon Paraspective

[@MahDryBread]

My sister, mum, and I spent SO long grinding for high scores in this game back in the day

[@NecromancyForKids]

I played this game a lot as a kid, and had no idea what I was doing.

[@KibbysGhost]

I never skips the ads on Paraspectre videos, you deserve ALL the ad revenue!

[@leftysheppey]

Its still no space cadet 3000...

[@danielryan4220]

Wow I didn't think I had nostalgia for Pokémon pinball but 8:39 really hit me.

[@DigiRangerScott]

By the way, I preferred the blue field. Easier catch access, and I absolutely LOVED the magnetic force of the arrow situated between Slowbro and Cloyster. The evolution mechanic was also far more accessible on it

[@envisioner007]

agreed, I played blue way more as a kid then red, even more with how janky it was to target at times.

[@DigiRangerScott]

@@envisioner007 Admittedly, the Ruby and Sapphire fields each have quirky features that are more fun about them, like each incubation area, whether it’s poking Cyndaquil back or going around and around on the ramps

[@BrokenVHS]

Seeing my comment at the end gave me a big dumb smile, thank you. Loving this series man

[@johnzale7748]

I’m sure everyone wants to know that my favorite Pokémon in 1999 was Cloyster

[@Paraspectre]

I mean ice is a top 3 type

[@kotzpenner]

I‘m a huge fan of pinball and always found the Pokémon one super interesting.

[@chavorrukin]

this game was teaching me to hum the Japanese Anime theme without me even realizing it. had so many good memories with these older games

[@alejandrofernandez4159]

I absolutely adored this game. I still remember getting it for Christmas from my mom and trading up. Playing it for literally for the entire Christmas Break an long after that.

[@Paraspectre]

I can see the catching em all aspect being addicting on this. Especially if you’re decent at pinball

[@LuxurioMusic]

I played this quite a lot as a kid, the music was absolutely amazing!

[@MarkofWisdom]

wow, I remember the awkwardly shaped cartridge for pokemon pinball. I never really played it much as a kid, or as an adult for that matter, but it was fun enough. "No backlights for gameboy color"-oh I remember the pain of that, I still have the little 3rd party light attachments you could put into the gameboy or around it to shine some light on the screen

[@Paraspectre]

When the 3DS added Game Boy games to the virtual console… game changer

[@crait]

I challenge you to beat Pokemon Pinball with only Parasect.

[@Paraspectre]

Challenge complete 😎

[@gamingwithfoss]

This was my go to game for my camping trips when I wasn’t playing the Blue version. Also if you didn’t have the green GameBoy color, then get outta here

[@turntsnaco824]

Love that you're making these videos!

[@BrokenVHS]

Also, while this isn't a big deal in the slightest, you referred to the Gameboy Colour as the "predecessor" to the Gameboy when it should have been "successor". "Predecessor" would imply the Gameboy Colour came out *before* the original Gameboy. But that's just me nitpicking lmao

[@DiamondHackerz]

Thank you for making me realise theres an Elton John version of pinball wizard. Banger

[@luketettelbach1823]

Honestly really enjoying your videos. Been watching since the first paras/parasect card run.

[@Paraspectre]

Awesome! Thank you for supporting the channel

[@canaldecasta]

The gba one is such a good game man...

[@MadameTeqi]

Channeling our Elton John to be a pinball wizard?

[@Paraspectre]

He IS the Pinball Wizard

[@DrewRitz]

Never played the pinball game, but it's what got me into the series. Back when Pokemon first hit, even though it's right up my alley, I didn't really care, then I saw the commercial for this game and saw Arcanine for the first time, and immediately asked my friends who that was. I've always been drawn to tigers and seeing a massive tiger printed dog set off an obsession.

[@ICE-ek8zj]

Super excited for the next episode! I wasn't alive when Pokemon snap came out but I did play it all the time as a kid on the Wii.

[@jenisia3600]

Love that pinball cover

[@MangaDungeon]

Hey man, this is really cool. Im happy to see someone walking off the beaten path when it comes to a Pokemon retropective it wasn't a straight shot to get 2, we had all sorts of interesting stuff in that gap between RB and and GS getting delayed

[@awakeinsleep3769]

I still have my Game Boy Color and Pokemon Pinball. It's a great game. hehehe

[@LTDextel]

Love your content! I look forward to more of these

[@erikedelkamp473]

Welcome to part 2 of 66 of EVERY POKEMON GAME

[@RiriStar1020]

I was literally just thinking about Pokemon Pinball yesterday so the timing of this video is perfect lol

[@Paraspectre]

Very weird, considering it’s over two decades old now

[@joefarrow1599]

Pokemon pinball sold 2 million more copies than Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons _combined_. That is absurd. I thought you'd made a mistake in the video somehow and had to fact check

[@deandabbles]

I love the pokemon pinball series. Glad they are getting the light!!!

[@BansheeNT-D]

One of the best Gameboy Games. Such an fun Pinball game with tons of content.

[@GeomancerHT]

Printing scores or infrared score trading is to avoid cheating, obviously.

[@Feltzer342]

Pokemon Pinball... ah yes, I had this game back when I was a first grader. It was a really good time killer, and the music was actually really catchy, especially the "Catch 'Em mode" themes.

[@Sharkchops]

OOF!!! That menu music hit me in the mems!!!

[@patathatapon]

Oh neat, I was mentioned. That's cool.

[@arcuscotangens]

I remember really enjoying this game back in the day. I normally didn't like pinball much and still don't. But because of being a full-on Pokemon freak at the time, I liked this game enough despite my general apathy to pinball. I can't recall if got a full dex as a kid, but considering I did so in _every_ other Pokemon game I played, I suspect I did.

[@Rythen2]

I feel like I played way too much of Pinball when it came out...

[@johnzale7748]

RIP so many AA batteries. I would steal my sister’s Gameboy Color and play this between my summer reading assignments

[@bapjap]

I remember Pokemon Pinball fondly, but it was such a pain in the ass trying to fill your Pokédex up. The best secondary game before the GBA era was the TCG games, specifically the GB2. The replay ability is endless.

[@Soshiplayz]

You forgot to mention boss battles... But 6/10 its pinball...

[@electrocast]

never played or owned this one. but i'm not a pinball guy either. my cousin had it & i never even asked to try it out lmao the pixel art for the centre portraits of the pokemon look great though, love the aesthetic of this game

[@DustyGogoat]

I miss this game

[@GeomancerHT]

You missed the GBA SP, that console had backlight before the DS.

[@Paraspectre]

This is true. We had a little light that attached to the GBA as well. I guess that’s frontlit though

[@GeomancerHT]

@@Paraspectre I love your channel, thanks for taking the time to reply and all your hard work! Also, I have found we might be real life doppelgangers as you look exactly as my brother when we were kids, and he also picked Pikachu on Smash!

[@DigiRangerScott]

3:12 Successor, not predecessor

[@Paraspectre]

Wow, how did I not catch that?

[@DigiRangerScott]

@@Paraspectre I have no idea, but clearly you were having a backwards day

[@TheJinzoSpoon]

Pokemon Pinball goes brrrr

[@NinjaWaluigi]

great video, keep it up

[@Icehawk_9]

So, when they say the “red field” and “blue field” they’re talking about EWU and Boise State, right?

[@falfore5863]

This was a fun paraspective!

[@Ddoublechin]

I honestly forgot Pokémon pinball was a thing, I only ever played the one for gba

[@rememberda4736]

I played the GBA version and with the Save feature I got up to 1 billion points and still was unable to complete the Dex. After losing I never played it again

[@averytubestudios]

How the f- How do you NOT complete the Dex with 1 Billion Points?

[@rememberda4736]

@@averytubestudios as a kid I didnt know about needing both stages to fill the Pokédex so I just mastered the sapphire stage and never played the Ruby side

[@SilverZephyrFalcon]

Oh, hey, my comment made it in the video :D

[@dylanmeushaw2945]

Wasn’t pinball wizard by The Who?

[@Paraspectre]

It sure was! But Elton played the Pinball Wizard in the Tommy rock opera

[@dylanmeushaw2945]

@@Paraspectre ah I was not aware of that

[@deadsparrow13]

I've never played the pinball games, I think. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone in school knew they existed. Then again, I am a Gen 2 kid, so... ^^'

[@PBSA]

Nice video.

[@TheLinkhawkins]

I never did play this game. Thanks for the info

[@CathyDotUK]

Hey it is the game you are gonna beat without using the paddles

[@cabbitkisser2620]

i picked up pokemon pinball used. To bad that this game did not use the link cable. so you play with a friend to find out who can get a better score

[@dylanpailing4314]

Pinball wizard was The Who not Elton John

[@Paraspectre]

It’s BY The Who, yes, but Elton WAS the pinball wizard in Tommy. He also covered it.

[@dylanpailing4314]

@@Paraspectre ohhh ok

[@robertcrist6059]

Yeah never played this one. I too didn't get into pinball so that probably played a factor.

hi

[@qwopiretyu]

for the algorithm

[@zikamo]

What game is that at 8:07?

[@Paraspectre]

I “think” it’s Link’s Awakening? Hard to tell. I just googled Game Boy Pocket

[@moisesblandon9136]

@@Paraspectre confirmed... links awakening... then it was remade as links awakening dx for gbc

[@erik19borgnia]

NOOO It's not Link's Awakening! Not at all. Is something like a port of Majora's Mask to Gameboy that an indie developer wanted to do, but never got too far.

[@hyperionsama]

I always wanted this game growing up 🥲
