GameNowLike "Wario Ware," this is a perfect handheld game. Instantly playable. [Nov 2003, p.72]
-
Ultimately, if you're not a Pokéfan, this game won't change your mind but if you don't mind the adorable monsters, there's lots of unusually satisfying gameplay here.

It's a shame that one little button location in the Sapphire table makes that layout a little more annoying to play than the Ruby board, but both designs are still well done and some of the best pinball action you'll experience on the GBA system.
-
Fantastic graphics, realistic gameplay and objectives all around make Pokemon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire and worthwhile addition to any GBA fans library.

games(TM)A game that combines the best of both worlds - Pokemon and pinball - while putting aside a lot of the elements that usually put people off. The pinball aspects win out over the extensive wandering, random battling and other RPG bits of the Pokemon series which, if you're not a fan, can only be a good thing. [Nov 2003, p.124]
-
While the game is still charming and fun, it's practically identical to the first game, and on top of that, it's even easier than the original, making it more of a time-consumer than an actual challenge.
-
Cheat Code CentralThere is no doubt that this game will take a lot of time to complete but the repetitious nature of the gameplay will ensure that all but the most ardent of Pokemon fans will take the time to collect all 200 monsters.
