Stern Pinball released a trailer on February 13 unveiling its Pokémon-themed pinball table. The machine includes a large HD screen that plays clips from the anime and an interactive playfield featuring a moving Pikachu and a Meowth balloon. Players can capture Pokémon while playing, and if they log into a Stern account via the app they can collect and review those Pokémon later.

The playfield is packed with spinners, ramps, and targets that trigger reactions from Pikachu as you play. “Today we’re proud to finally deliver the long-awaited Pokémon by Stern Pinball machine,” said Stern Pinball president and CEO Seth Davis in a press release.

“This game is a true celebration of nostalgia, craftsmanship, and the enduring adventure of Pokémon – brought to life in a whole new way through immersive pinball gameplay, thrilling battles, and the timeless excitement of catching Pokémon.” The base model is priced at $7,000.
