Pokemon Catch
Description
A redemption game that is somewhat like Pachinko. Eggs tiny balls roll down from the top of the screen and bounce down pegs on the playfield. The player spins a large Pokeball steering wheel to move Pikachu and have him catch the eggs. If the player catches 20 eggs the machine dispenses a prize any capsule toys can be used but Sammy mainly sold Pokeball capsules with tiny Pokemon inside for this machine. The number of balls required to win a prize is not changeable but the time allotted to do so is. At the start and end of the game Ash Ketchum from the television series speaks to the player and sound clips of Pikachus voice play whenever a ball is obtained.
