Meowth Offers to Polish Your Pinballs for $7,000

After some teasing last week, Stern Pinball has officially revealed its high-end Pokémon-themed pinball tables with an exciting trailer. The big question is: Are you ready to shell out $7,000 to launch steel balls at Meowth?

On February 13, Stern Pinball dropped a new trailer showcasing its $7,000 Pokémon table, which boasts a large HD screen displaying clips from the anime series and a highly interactive playfield featuring a moving Pikachu and a Meowth balloon. Here’s the video:

Players will have the chance to capture Pokémon while enjoying this pinball experience. If you log into your Stern account via the app during gameplay, you can collect Pokémon and view them later. True to modern pinball design, the playfield is loaded with spinners, ramps, and targets, all of which will trigger reactions from Pikachu based on your performance.

“Today we’re excited to finally present the long-awaited Pokémon pinball machine,” said the president and CEO of Stern Pinball. “This game is a true celebration of nostalgia, craftsmanship, and the ongoing adventure of Pokémon – brought to life in a fresh way through immersive pinball gameplay, thrilling battles, and the timeless thrill of catching Pokémon.”

This all sounds fantastic, and if you spot one at your local arcade or bar, it’s sure to be a blast. However, if you’re looking to add one of these machines to your basement or gaming room, be prepared to invest at least $7,000 for the base model. There’s also a premium version that features unique artwork, enhanced audio and visuals, and a more elaborate backglass, among other perks, priced at $9,700. For those seeking exclusivity, a limited-edition version of the table will cost you $13,000!

If you can swing the purchase of this Pokémon table, congratulations on your success! Stern is currently accepting orders for its newly unveiled Pokémon pinball machine on its website.
