Hey everyone,

I recently picked up a Pokemon Premium Pinball as my very first pinball machine and I’m waiting for it to arrive. Since I’m still pretty new to the hobby, I had a question for owners who have added (or decided against adding) a shaker motor to this specific machine.

Do you feel a shaker motor is worth it on Pokemon Pro/Premium? Does the game make good use of it, and during which moments does it usually activate (multiball, big catches, special modes, etc.)?

I’ve also read that some people adjust the shaker intensity by changing/regulating the motor weights because factory settings can sometimes feel too strong or distracting depending on the game. Did anyone here feel the need to tune it down or customize it for Pokemon Premium specifically?

Would love to hear your experiences and recommendations before I order one.

Thanks!

I bought my first ever Pinball machine, the Pokémon Premium. I have been enjoying Pinball everytime I went to arcades and this being my first owned Pinball makes me extremely excited to own one. The machine will arrive soon.

Since this is my first Pinball machine, I would love to ask the community if there are any specific settings you would change in the menu? I’m sure settings are subjective to everyone’s liking, but are there any specific things you would change and why? Whatever settings they are, whether game play specific or coil settings, etc. Especially for someone‘s first pinball machine.

Also, would you install the Tilt Bob? Personally I‘m not a fan of it, if I install it, then pretty loose.
