    We all know it's coming, we all know we want one, but who do you think will be the one to win the license?

    This may be a joke thread, but if there was a pinball machine based on the classic 150 pokemon / mid-90s era of pokemon, I'd buy it.

    If it's based on the cassic Pokemon era I would be interested but not in that movie looks terrible.

    The Pokemon license is the most desirable IP out there. This to me is not what reflects that desire. I agree with Alek above. My kids would absolutely love the cartoon version, xy series art. I'd be in at any amount that's realistic for this license in a pinball.

    Quoted from sixtyfourbits:

    with that many characters, it would need to be Jersey Jack for sure

    This makes perfect sense!

    In today's pinball world where you get to choose between boy bands that broke up almost 50 years ago or 20+ year old kid's themes like Toy Story, this would certainly be a breath of fresh air.

    The art alone would draw in new players. As popular as the Japanese anime art style is worldwide, I can't think of a single commercial pinball machine that takes advantage of it.

    There is a pinball game based on the original 151, but it's for Gameboy Color.

    It's actually one of the better 8-bit pinball games.
