It’s a no brainer. The license lends itself so well to pinball with the pokeballs and catching monsters. The IC could allow for rare Pokémon to be caught only on certain machines at certain times. They would absolutely KILL on route anywhere that there are kids 8-35. I understand that anyone over 30 wouldn’t be likely to buy for their own personal collection but Stern ought to just run pros on this IP. Make a game largely intended for public play.
I’d say that’s likely not a problem. Pokémon pinball was very popular on Game Boy color.

probably not a bad idea.....I have to imagine it would have happened already but the license is either too expensive or Japan/Nintendo doesn't care enough about pinball probably because of the size, cost, and/or perceived association with gambling and bars. Like they have gone through the effort of removing casinos and slot machines from their older pokemon games.
I would love nothing more for Nintendo to get into pin manufacturing. They’d likely steal all my money from Stern. Legend of Zelda?!? Mario Brothers?!?! Pokémon?!?! All blockbusting themes.
Quoted from DruTheFu:I see Nintendo making the pinball before releasing the license for someone else to do it.
