Eh, Yo! Let's dive into the homebrew Pokemon Pinball Machine with the Underwood brothers. I got to sit down with Luke and Owen to talk about their homebrew Pokemon Pinball Machine. The Pokemon Pinball Machine was the second completed pinball from Pinsanity. Luke and Owens first pinball was based on League of Legends and after they finished that the started a new game. They wanted the new game to be fastr and flowy, over time the Pokemon theme seemed to fit really well. After a few years of taking it to shows and changing the playfields to improve their Pokemon Pinball Machine this is what their finished game looks like. I got to play the Pokemon Pinball Machine a ton at Pinball Expo this year and it was my favorite game and my most played game. I spent a ton of my time in the homebrew booth.This is a great example of what can be done when you have a passion and a vision. Luke and Owne take you through the whole process of building the Pokemon Pinball Machine. They start with how they started, how they prototyped, and how they changed the game over a few versions. Luke and Owen give some great advice to aspiring homebrewers, so if you have ever wanted to make your own pinball this is a great one to tune into.
