Hi. I'm Sid and welcome to my faq for Pok�mon Pinball: Ruby and 
Sapphire!! This Guide will help you to master the game and will
also help you to catch each and every Pok�mon in the game so 
that you can really become a Pok�mon master!! PP RaS(Pok�mon
Pinball: Ruby And Sapphire) is a pinball game with a little twist.
It lets you catch Pok�mon in a whole new way!

PP RaS also had a prequel: Pok�mon Pinball which was for the
Nintendo Gameboy Color.

Pok�mon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire is a pinball game based on the 
hit anime called 'Pok�mon'. Pok�mon stands for Pocket Monsters.
They are of different types and have various abilities...
But you may not go into the details, as they are not needed in
this game. Your main goal is to capture each and every Pok�mon 
in the game so that you can complete the pokedex.

Pok�mon pinball has evolved!! PP RaS is more colorful and enjoyable
than Pok�mon Pinball. It contains some new features like
-You can now hatch PokeEggs.
-There is a pokemart.
-New Pok�mon can be caught.  
-Better Graphics
-Better Sound

Unlike its prequel, it does not support a Rumble Pack. It is also very 
easy compared to Pok�mon Pinball.

Pok�mon found in different boards.

************  
|RUBY BOARD|
************
I feel that Ruby board is somewhat tough as compared to the Sapphire board.
-You can change the Bumpers by pressing the small button to the left of 
the 'BUMPERS' arrow. When you press this button the bumpers may change or

the ball upgrade this way.                                              /|\
-Sharpedo is the Catch 'em Mode enabler.                                 |
-Cyndaquil, Totodile[Sometimes replaces the egg] and Chicorita are seen. |

****************
It is more of a STYLISH board, with a cool blue background.
-It has Shroomish Bumpers.
-Latias is your ball saver.
-Kyogre Bonus Level is only in the Sapphire board.
-Dusclops Bonus Level is only in the Sapphire board.
-Pokemart is in the middle-left. It is to one with a Minum
and a Plusle standing like guards. To enter, you need to push the
buttons under Minum and Plusle.
-A Zigzagoon can be seen where Makuhita was in the Ruby board was.
It has two positions: one where it is sittin� on its hind legs[DEFAULT]
and after you press the button under it it will change its position.
It is now on its all legs. During this position, if you enter a slot
then press the A button and zigzagoon will perform a QUICK-STOP.
it will dash towards the spinning slot and stop it immediately.
-Wailmer is the Catch 'em Mode enabler.
-You need to push the ball into the round red colored machine which has 
an egg on the top, to hatch the egg.
-Latias can be caught here.

 IV.                    -The Main Stuff-                        [asck]
=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+

a) CATCHING A Pok�mon.
The basic operation of this game is to catch a Pok�mon. Now I will tell you 
how to capture a Pocket Monster.
******
|RUBY|
******
To capture a Pok�mon, you must first start the Catch 'EM Mode. This can be 
done by shooting the ball into Sharpedo's mouth. After that a black picture 
of the Pok�mon will appear. Now shoot the ball into the bumpers(Chinchou/
Lotoad). The Picture will now start 'Breaking'. After you hit the bumpers 
three times, the picture will be completely visible and the Pok�mon will now 
appear. Now all you have do is hit the Pok�mon three times and thats it!!! 
Gotcha!!!The Pok�mon will be caught! Now if the Pok�mon is capable of evolving 
then evolve it 'cause if you run out of balls and the Game Over message appears,
you have to catch the Pok�mon again to evolve it.To evolve a Pok�mon refer to 
the 'How To Evolve A Pok�mon' Section.

**********
|SAPPHIRE|
**********
Like the Ruby Board, start the Catch 'EM mode, by shooting the ball into 
Wailmer's mouth. Then when the black picture appears, shoot the ball in such 
a way that it smashes against  the bumpers(Shroomish). And like before, after 
you hit the bumpers three times the picture will be completely visible and the
Pok�mon will emerge. Hit it three times and then its yours. Now in the SAPPHIRE
board there is an easy method. After the Pok�mon emerges hit it once.IF the 
SAVER  light is still on(It is the Small light called SAVER with a Latias, 
above the flippers), leave the controls and let the ball fall down. Now Latias
will come flying with the ball on a window called 'BALL SAVE' and it will drop
the ball onto Spoink. Now press the A button and the ball will go up into the 
red round thing with the egg. Now if you have done everything correctly, the 
ball will now travel from the Red thing to the metal passageway and will 
automatically hit the Pok�mon twice without any of your effort!!

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Note- After you finish catching the Pok�mon, you cannot again start the Catch 
'EM Mode. You have to enable it first. To enable it send the ball 2 or 3 times
around the board to the right, where there are three tiny arrows which says 
'GET'. After that the Catch Arrow will start blinking again and you can now 
start the Catch 'EM Mode.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

b) EVOLVING A Pok�mon.
To complete the pokedex, evolving a Pok�mon is also an essential operation. But
remember not all Pok�mons evolve and some evolve two times.To evolve a Pok�mon 
start the EVO Mode and if your a Pok�mon fan you must be knowing how a Pok�mon 
evolves. Some need stones while other evolve by gaining Experience. The various
ways by which a Pok�mon can evolve are:
- Experience 
- Stones
- Trading
- Happiness
- Pokeblock   
To start the Evo Mode, you need to send the ball 3 times to the left and around
the board. You will notice that there are three tiny arrows pointing towards 
that direction and says 'EVO'.
After you've sent the ball three times around the table[To the LEFT], the sign 
on the Pokemart will change to 'Evo'. Now all you have to do is send the ball 
into the pokemart and then you can evolve your Pok�mon.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Note- If the evo mode does not begin, then it means that you do not have any 
Pok�mon that is capable of evolving. Remember:
'You can only evolve a Pok�mon that you have caught, THAT SAME GAME.'
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

When you start the evo mode a window pops up, allowing you to choose which 
Pok�mon you like to evolve. Make your selection and then you will see the 
picture of that Pok�mon in the middle of the screen. Then an evolution item 
will appear somewhere in the screen. Like for example, if you want to evolve 
Nuzleaf, then a green colored stone[LEAF STONE] will appear. Grab it once and 
it will appear again . Grab it and then grab it once more. After you have done
that,a hole will appear in the middle. Now you know what to do!! Yep^_^ Send 
the ball into the hole and watch your Pok�mon evolve!!

c) HATCH THAT EGG!
You may have seen an egg in game. Want to know what to do with it??? Of course 
you have to hatch it. From that egg, a baby Pok�mon will emerge and will start 
walking around the board. Hit the Pok�mon two times and its yours!! Now, I will
explain how to hatch the egg.....
******
|RUBY|
******
The egg is placed on a mountain/cave which is guarded by a Cyndaquil. Now to 
hatch the egg, you need to hit Cyndaquil a few times until it goes inside the 
cave/mountain. Hit it one more time and then the  egg will hatch! Then the 
Pok�mon will roam around the board and to catch it, hit it twice.

**********
|SAPPHIRE| 
**********
In the Sapphire board the egg is placed in the round-red 'Stand', to the 
top-right. To hatch the egg, you need to send the ball from the metal passageway
right next to Wailmer. Once the ball goes inside the machine, you will see that
a yellow light will have been lit. Repeat this process until all lights are lit
and then the egg will hatch. Like before, hit the Pok�mon twice to capture it.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Note- You have only one minute to capture the Pok�mon after it hatches!! After 
that the Pok�mon will 'run away'. So try your best! 
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

d) ENABLE THE TRAVEL MODE.
Now before we move onto TRAVEL mode, let me explain what 'Areas' are. In the 
game there are many areas where you can capture a Pok�mon. The icon in the 
middle of the screen shows in which area you are.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Note- A particular area's icon will only be visible when you are not in any of 
the 'Game Modes'. And it will NOT appear in the bonus stages.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The different areas of the game are:
******
|RUBY|
******
    AREA                     ICON DESCRIPTION
1. Petalburg Forest [A forest with a black(ish) background]
2. Mt. Chimney [A big volcano]
3. Plains [A huge grassland]
4. Lilycove City [Sea with a lighthouse]
5. Safari Zone [Trees with a gate]
6. Granite Cave [A dark cave]
7. Ruins [A cave with the moon ontop]

**********
|SAPPHIRE|
**********
    AREA                      ICON DESCRIPTION
1. Petalburg Forest [A forest with a black(ish) background]
2. Lake [Thats right, a lake]
3. Plains [A huge grassland]
4. Beach [A beautiful beach]
5. Desert [A dry land]
6. Granite Cave [A dark cave]
7. Ruins [A cave with the moon on top]

So there you have it, all the areas of the game. And there is one more thing, 
the RUINS area is a special one. There are many rare Pok�mons there...like 
Jirachi and The Regis. To go to this area, you must TRAVEL five times!!
Now onto TRAVEL mode......

TRAVEL mode is an important aspect of the game. And also if you travel five 
times, you can capture the rarest  Pok�mon in the game[JIRACHI]. How to TRAVEL:
******
|RUBY|
******
To Travel in RUBY board, hit the button that is below Chikorita. Then Chikorita
will do a RAZOR LEAF attack which will hit a Linoone on the right and the it 
will hit another Zigzagoon on the left. After it hits the Zigzagoon on the left,
he will partially come out. During this time, hit him. If done correctly, 
a Gulpin will fall down on the left side of the board. Repeat this process two 
more times so that there are three Gulpins standing on top of each other. Then 
the TRAVEL mode will begin. Now you have a minute to Travel. Quickly send the 
ball either on path of the 'EVO Arrows' [Around the table, to the left] or on 
the route of 'GET Arrows' [Around the table, to the right]. Then you will see 
a portal opening in the middle of the screen. Enter It. Then a confirmation 
message will pop up. 'PRESS A TO TRAVEL'. Now you have traveled successfully.

**********
|SAPPHIRE|
**********                                      
Traveling in the SAPPHIRE board is very easy! (^_^) All you have to do is push 
the button three times that is near the basket[To the left of the board] and 
the travel mode will begin!!! And like before, send the ball to the EVO/GET 
Paths to make the portal appear. Enter it and press the A Button.

e) UPGRADE YOUR POKEBALL.
Upgrading your pokeball can be very useful for earning points. There are four 
types of ball....
1.POKEBALL. 
The ball with which you start the game. It is red and white in color.

2.GREATBALL.
This ball will double your points!! It is dark-blue [with red strips] and white
in color.

3.ULTRABALL.
A more cool and STYLISH ball which gives you x3 points!! It is yellow and white
in color.

4.MASTERBALL.
The strongest ball in other Pok�mon games and this baby will provide you with 
x4 points! It is purple [with pink strips] and white in color.

Upgrading the ball is very simple. There are many ways by which we can upgrade 
a pokeball.
-Buy a ball upgrade from the Pokemart for 40 coins.
-There is a ball upgrade which you can get in the RUBY Board. Here is how.....

If Makuhita is facing to the north, then skip to the 4th point.
1. First, hit the button below Chikorita. Then, Chikorita will perform a RAZOR 
LEAF attack,
hitting the two Linoones.
2. When the first Linoone[RIGHT one] comes out, hit it.
3. Then the Makuhita above it will face to the north direction.
4. Now you can make the Makuhita punch by pressing the A button.
5. Send the ball to the EVO Path[Left and around the table]. The when the ball
is near Makuhita, press the A button.
6. Makuhita will punch the ball, forcing it to go through the path above 
Chikorita.
7. The ball will hit the Nuzleaf standing here which will push it upwards. 
Keep repeating the process untill Nuzleaf falls and makes a bridge.
8. Now you can get the ball upgrade.

-Another way of upgrading your ball is by making it pass through the three 
small lanes above the bumpers. When the ball passes through a lane, the circle
in it will become red. Light all the three lanes and the ball will get upgraded 
by one level.

UPDATE : You can control the light in the lane by pressing the Left or Right
button on your D-Pad. This means that if you make the ball pass through first
lane [The right one] that lane becomes red. Press the Right button on the D-pad
and you will see that the middle lane will be lit. By this method you can upgr-
ade your pokeball by passing in through the same lane. This trick can also be
used to activate the Slots.

Thanks to Dion Starfire for this info.  

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Note- The Ball Upgrade only lasts for a few seconds...

 VII.            -Bonus Levels!-                                [poiu]
=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+

Bonus Levels make this game more fun to play. They give hell lotta points!!
You can access a bonus level by:
-Buy it from the Pokemart for 60 coins.
-From the slots.
-Catching/Hatching/Evolving 3 Pok�mons.
-Peliper will take you to the Sealeo bonus level from the SAPPHIRE board.
-Whiscash will take you to the Sealeo bonus level from the RUBY board.
And in a bonus level, you cannot lose your ball!!! (^_^)

The different bonus levels of the game are:
a) Spheal and Sealeo bonus level.[Both Boards]
When you get there, you will notice two Sealeos sitting under a basket. There 
are also two icy cold ramps for you to use. There are also some Spheals in the 
water, who will try to climb the ramp but fail. All you have to do is either 
send the ball on the ramp so that one of the Sealeo catches it and dose a 
'basket', giving you points. Or when the Spheal is trying to climb the ramp, 
quickly shoot the ball at it which will send the Spheal rolling up the ramp 
and again one of the Sealeo will catch it and do a 'basket', giving you even 
more points. Keep earning points until the time limit. 
So this level will help you increase your score.

b) Duskull/Dusclops bonus Level.[SAPPHIRE Board only]
This level is basically a graveyard, which will give you the creeps!!(or maybe 
not.) You will see Duskulls roaming around the field. You have to hit about 20 
Duskulls and then their boss appears...It...its.....a...DUSCLOPS!!!!RUN!! Ha! 
just joking'. Anyways, a Dusclops will appear and to we have to defeat him. Hit
him 5 times and he is outta here! Sounds easy? Then you are wrong. The catch 
here is that if you hit him from the front he will catch the ball and throw it!
So you can only hit him from the back. Use the Gravestones as bumpers and best 
of luck!!

c)Kecleon bonus level.[RUBY board only]
This level takes place near a huge tree. You will see a Kecleon disappearing 
and then you can only see his footprints. To see him hit the tree and the 
Devon Scopes will fall down. Grab that and you will be able to see Kecleon for 
some time. Hit him and he will fall down. Hit him again and he will get hurt.
Repeat this process for about 7 to 8 times and then Kecleon will give up.

d)Groudon bonus level.[RUBY board only]
This one is pretty tough. You have to defeat Groudon who knows ROCK THROW, 
ERUPTION, EARTHQUAKE and how to throw fire balls. Groudon will start off with 
EARTHQUAKE. Then he will do an ERUPTION attack which will create four pillars 
of fire which will protect him. Hit the pillars a few times and it will break.
When he does a ROCK THROW attack a few rocks will fall down. Hit those rocks a 
2 times and it will break. And finally the most annoying of all, he will throw 
a fireball which will immobilize your ball for a few seconds. Hit Groudon 15 
times and then you will win this level. If you beat this level twice without
a 'GAME OVER' then you will capture him.

e) Kyogre bonus level.[SAPPHIRE board only]
This level is easier than Groudon. Kyogre knows BLIZZARD, WHIRLPOOL and DIVE. 
He will start off with BLIZZARD which will freeze your ball. He will then 
create WHIRLPOOLs and if you touch on of those then you will loose valuable 
time. After that, he will DIVE into the water. Look for bubbles in the water.
When he surfaces, quickly hit him. He will again DIVE and resurface. Hit him 
again. And now he will be again in his original position and will repeat the 
whole process... Hit him 15 times to defeat this level. If you beat this level 
twice without a 'GAME OVER' then you will capture him.

f) Rayquaza bonus level.[Both Boards]
The hardest level of the game which takes place in the SKY PILLAR. First 
Rayquaza will keep bouncing which will make him harder to hit. After he's done 
that he will paralyze your ball using THUNDER! 
He can also use FLY and EXTREMESPEED and create two tornados.... Hit him 15 
times to beat this level and take a look at the points which you get!!!!! 
If you beat this level twice without a 'GAME OVER' then you will capture him.

 IX.                   -FAQ-                                    [vial]
=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+

1. What is 'PP RaS'?
-> PP RaS stands for Pok�mon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire.

2. How can I get the ball upgrade which is present in the RUBY board?
-> If Makuhita[to the right] is facing to the north, then skip to the 4th point.
1. First, hit the button below Chikorita. Then, Chikorita will perform a RAZOR 
LEAF attack, hitting the two Linoones.
2. When the first Linoone[RIGHT one] comes out, hit it.
3. Then the Makuhita above it will face to the north direction.
4. Now you can make the Makuhita punch by pressing the A button.
5. Send the ball to the EVO Path[Left and around the table]. The when the ball
is near Makuhita, press the A button.
6. Makuhita will punch the ball, forcing it to go through the path above 
Chikorita.
7. The ball will hit the Nuzleaf standing here which will push it upwards. 
Keep repeating the process until Nuzleaf falls and makes a bridge.
8. Now you can get the ball upgrade.

3. What are 'GSC Starters'? How can I get them?
-> GSC Starters are the starters for the Pok�mon games Gold/Silver/Crystal. 
They are:
*Totodile
*Cyndaquil
*Chikorita
The GSC Starters will appear very rarely[less than 1%] in any area in the RUBY 
Board.

4. How many total Pok�mon are there in the Pokedex?
-> The Pokedex has 202 Pok�mons. Later it was found out that the GSC Starters 
were also obtainable which makes a total of 205 Pok�mons.

5. Can I evolve the GSC Starters? 
-> No.

6. How can I get Jirachi?
-> TRAVEL five times and then you will be taken to RUINS area. Here, get the 
ARRIVAL panel in the Slots to summon Jirachi. Now you can capture Jirachi. You 
have only 30 sec. to capture him. Hit him 3 times and he is yours!!!

7. What is Devon Scope?
-> It is a device used in Pok�mon Ruby and Sapphire to spot invisible Pok�mons.
In PP RaS, you can obtain this item in the Kecleon bonus level.

8. Where can I get this game?
-> Sorry, don't ask me.

9. Is there a ROM of this game?
-> I don't know.

10. Where can I find GSA codes for this game?
-> Try searching it with Google.

11. Can I trade pokemons from Pokemon Pinball RaS to Pokemon Emerald/Ruby/
Sapphire/FireRed/Leafgreen ?
-> Simple. The answer is NO. You cannot trade your pokemons.

12. How can I erase my data?
-> I don't know. Still searching on it.....
UPDATE : Ok I got it. Go to the Hi-Scores screen and keep the L button on the
D-Pad pressed. Now press the L and R Shoulder buttons AT THE SAME TIME. If you
are having trouble, then keep the L D-Pad button pressed and then keep pressing
the L and R Shoulder buttons and then you will recieve a message to confirm
your decision.
