For a gameboy game, it's surprisingly competent when it comes to replicating the pinball physics. I feel like this really helps translate the standard Pokémon experience from the Gen 1 era pretty well.

Honestly I still think there could have been more of these, but I can understand the hesitation as the series has become more complex and set in stone compared to the rougher era of the undefined franchise still finding itself. There's something charming about hearing a low quality sound clip of Pikachu going "PIIIKA" that would not fly with current games today.

But maybe now that Snap 2 is finally real, Bando Namcai can also take a crack at doing one last one of these.
