Talk:Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire
"Extra Ball (99 coins) - There is only one per game."
That is not true. Everytime you catch Rayquaza in its Bonus Level, the Extra Ball will be available in the Mart again.
It's like this:
- Buy the Extra Ball.
- Beat Bonus Level 1
- Beat Bonus Level 2
- Beat Bonus Level 1 again
- Beat Bonus Level 2 again and catch Groudon/Kyogre
- Beat Bonus Level 3
- Beat Bonus Level 1 again
- Beat Bonus Level 2 again
- Beat Bonus Level 1 again
- Beat Bonus Level 2 again and catch Groudon/Kyogre
- Beat Bonus Level 3 again and catch Rayquaza
- The Extra Ball is back again!
- Buy the new Extra Ball
- Start again with Bonus Level 1 …

Just Saying...
I DO NOT have this game, but the article says that hitting the left Linoone causes Gulpin to appear, and the in the Gulpin section it says hitting the right Linoone causes it to appear, so I would like to know which one it is. That is all. AmoongussForLife (talk) 12:36, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
- It's the left one. The right Linoone activates and deactivates Makuhita. AGGRON989 12:38, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
"Lilycove" and "Mt. Chimney"
I notice that two of the areas in the game are denoted on this page as being these two specific Hoenn locales, but as far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be an official basis for this assumption. It doesn't seem unreasonable to think that these areas could be these specific ones (although I'd say the former resembles Slateport City more if anything), but both official English manuals refer to them as simply "Ocean" and "Volcano", not "Lilycove [City]" or "Mt. Chimney". This is also notably unlike the "Safari Zone" area, which is specifically named as such in the manuals.
Should this be updated to reflect their official names? There's a PDF of the EU English manual officially hosted by Nintendo Europe, so I can cite that if necessary also. Driftin Soul (talk) 00:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Move
The US manual formats the game's title as "Pokémon Pinball Ruby & Sapphire", while the EU manual formats it as "Pokémon Pinball Ruby&Sapphire. The German, French, Spanish, and Italian translations of the manual also agree that the game's title does not have a colon. Most contemporary secondary sources (including the Nintendo of America website) do use a colon though, and the Wii U release does as well. The question is really whether the game's manual would take precedence, given that it's what was in the box. --Abcboy (talk) 04:58, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Foe what it is worth, the website has it with the colon. Spriteit (talk) 13:38, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose move. In my opinion, we can keep the title "Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire". As mentioned above, that's used by most contemporary secondary sources.
- The list of Wii U games includes the name with the colon. For a downloadable game, is that good enough? Does that basically count as content "shipped" with the game, in a sense?
- For the record, Pinball RS's GBA game box calls it simply "Pokémon Pinball" in running text. ("Much more than a regular game, Pokémon Pinball combines fast flipper action [...]")
- I added a few name variations on the article. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 01:37, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. Landfish7 05:49, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
