not a pokemon fan, but that layout looks so fun and smooth. If someone played this video for me without telling me who made it, I would right say away "Oh, is keith elwin working on a new layout?"
I love everything about this except for the taco bell gong lol. There has to be another sound byte from the game you could use. That being said, this is incredible!
Thank you! We share the same sentiment about the gong sound and were on the search for something better (we were going for the Bally sound for extra ball (maybe) but couldn't find it).
This looks incredible! With a few tweaks and touch-ups, I could honestly picture this in my local pinball hall. A few questions about some of the rules that I don't think were brought up during the video: 1. How do you light your Gym Battle modes (besides at the start of each ball)? 2. Is there a series of rival battles to go through to progress towards the Wizard Mode, or is it just a bonus mode that you can play after catching/evolving enough Pokemon? 3. How do you light WTP, and what's the award for completing it? 4. How do you light your Mystery award? 5. What are the extra two lights on the Pikachu ramp for, since it looks like you can't evolve him?
Wow you were paying close attention! 1. When no modes are running, there are white shots lit throughout the playfield. hitting them spells G Y M (next to James on the back wall, can be seen on the lower playfield camera) 2. After you catch all pokemon you light rival battle 1, after you evolve all pokemon once you light rival battle 2 and after all 3 are fully evolved you light the last battle. 3. WTP is lit by adding to the Pokedex. you get the first one after 3 entries, then it's every 10. The award is 5 Pokedex entries and 5 million points. 4. Mystery award is lit via the spinner (the bat screen on the dmd has a countdown for remaining spins needed) 5. Pikachu will never evolve into raichu but you still get credit for getting him enough xp/qualifying to evolve (mostly for bonus and consistency across your pokemon)
Incredible work. The table has amazing flow, which is what I look for in a table. By that I mean the ball tends to shoot through ramps and return, not just constantly bump off of things and tumble awkwardly back. Love it. Can't wait to see mow.
Insane job guys ! Really 😉 Couldn't be part of the Twitch show due to time zone but the game looks awesome. Was wondering what kind of inserts you guys use ? Is that custom ? 3D printed using resin ? They are so small and working so well at the same time. GG boys 👌
Thank you! We actually aren't using any premade inserts, instead we fill the light holes with epoxy which allows us to do any size or shape that can be CNC'd.
amazing! I love magnets. It would be cool to have mew two in the center with a magnet underneath. He could capture the ball and send it off in random directions
Man, i still want to do my own pinball machine at some point. I can program, i can do electronics, i can game design, just not the mechanical stuff. This is great.
I've been onto the pinball algorithm for a fair bit and one thing that intrigues me are the one-off custom pinballs. One that was especially neat was an Archer pinball board (though I haven't found recent footage of that board), seeing a pokemon board is reallyyy cool
That home brew was turned into Iron Maiden by the designer Keith Elwin who was hired by the biggest current manufacturer Stern. He has since designed 5 more games and is considered one of if not the best designers ever to do it. Also one of the greatest tournament players of all time. Haha
This was mostly developed in MPF 0.56.2 but I'm going to use 0.80, or latest version, for the next machine. The Godot media controller in 0.80 looks a lot better.
@@PinsanityPins I set up .80 with a buddy last night. The mpf website says they are ditching mpfmc and going to godot and recommend doing so on a new build. Are you bringing this machine to expo in October? I will have mine there!
This is really impressive! Can’t believe you added the “who’s that Pokémon” you did an outstanding job sir
It’s really cool that you took inspiration from the actual Pokemon Pinball games and made this heavily ramp based.
not a pokemon fan, but that layout looks so fun and smooth. If someone played this video for me without telling me who made it, I would right say away "Oh, is keith elwin working on a new layout?"
It looks quite similar to the gba version which is pretty fun to play short sessions on the throne😅

I think replacing the Taco Bell sound with the potion heal sound would be a good candidate.
@@nightzelmods Finally found the Bally sound I was looking for.
Taco bell is no more 😂
This is the pokemon machine we all need at our local arcade/home.
So well done!

It helps that the player is very good at making the shots!
@@colinwood9717 true dat!
It looks hella polished! I love the Who's That Pokémon mode.

Amazing layout and integration with the theme! Bravo!

@@colemangreen4191 that's pretty cool. So that one of a kind homebrew got redecaled for the iron maiden design?
Fantastic work!!! OMG really want to play this! Looks so fun and well done!!!
This custom pin looks great! Hope to one day see it in person at an event. I think we're overdue for a Pokemon Pinball table and another video game.
Looks like a great game. Really well put together game design and code
The code on this is really well thought out. Amazing.
This is crazy. Loving the DMD animations
You guys built this? Amazing even though Pokemon isn't my gig, but still amazing flow and programming
ur so cool securing ur spot as the coolest friend
Will you branch out the other generations of pokemon as well?
We are considering opening up 'who's that pokemon?' to more generations, and potentially adding gen 2 gyms after victory road.
This is extremely impressive!
This is really cool! I'd love to see pro players react to it!
Are you using MPF .57 or .80? I am literally setting up MPF right now for my homebrew and undecided on what route to go
This was mostly developed in MPF 0.56.2 but I'm going to use 0.80, or latest version, for the next machine. The Godot media controller in 0.80 looks a lot better.

Hell Yeah Owen! This is looking great. Coming to expo!?
Yep we'll be there
Wow. If you could sell it this will be a big Hit. Looks so fun. But Big N will never approve.
should totally make this in virtual pin so i can play lol
I LOVE POKEMON AND I LOVE PINBALL BRO THIS IS SOOOO COOL OMG 😊❤
Could this be made for real? Or licensing and stuff gets in the way?
Awesome!!!!!
Woah.
This is amazing!!!
How do I get one ?
Stream sometime if you can!🤘
Agreed! I'd watch!
Once we get the machine officially completed with playfield art we'll try to get a stream in.
@PinsanityPins do you stream on twitch or TH-cam? If twitch what's your @?
@@NeonNijahn We steam on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/pinsanitypins We'll be streaming this Saturday, August 31@8:00 pm EST.
@@PinsanityPins followed!
Pokémon!!
this is sick
😯
You release this on the day RDJ was announced as Doom? The world is still mourning.
