Pokémon Pro vs Premium vs LE: Which Version Is Right for You?

Choosing Your Perfect Pokémon Pinball Machine

The release of Stern's Pokémon Pinball was one of the biggest moments in modern pinball, and demand was immediate. The Limited Edition (LE) sold out almost instantly, while both the Pro and Premium quickly became favourites among collectors.

The great news?

No matter which version you own, you're getting one of the most exciting modern pinball machines ever designed by George Gomez and Jack Danger.

If you'd like to discover the complete range of upgrades available for every version, explore our Best Pokémon Pinball Mods guide.

Pokémon Pro

The Pro is the most accessible version and already delivers the outstanding gameplay that made Pokémon such a success.

Visually, it's easy to recognise thanks to its beautiful sunset-inspired cabinet artwork, filled with warm oranges and reds that perfectly complement Pokémon's vibrant colour palette.

Our Pokémon Full Cut WizBlades extend that artwork beautifully inside the cabinet, while the Pokémon Pro WizPanels continue the artwork across the speaker panel using the closed speaker design unique to the Pro.

Pokémon Premium

The Premium keeps the same incredible gameplay while adding extra mechanical features and exclusive artwork.

The cabinet shifts towards blue skies, water and brighter landscapes, creating a completely different atmosphere from the warmer colours of the Pro.

That artwork works beautifully with our Pokémon Premium WizDoors, while the Pokémon Premium/LE WizAprons are available in both standard and Insider Connected Cutout versions, allowing collectors to keep the QR scanner fully functional while covering the factory apron with custom artwork.

Pokémon Limited Edition (LE)

The Limited Edition is the collector's dream.

Produced in very small numbers, it sold out almost immediately after release and has already become one of Stern's most sought-after modern Limited Editions.

The artwork takes another completely different direction.

Bright yellow graphics dominate the cabinet, perfectly complemented by the stunning purple powder-coated armour, creating one of Stern's most distinctive modern collector's editions.

Our Pokémon LE WizPanels feature the exclusive LE Cutout speaker design, matching the exposed speaker layout found only on the Limited Edition and blending naturally with Stern's original artwork.

The Details That Make Every Version Unique

Whichever version you choose, the finishing touches make the machine feel even more personal.

Our oversized Pokémon Premium WizEmblems are available in two exclusive designs. One features Pikachu's paws reaching towards the action button, while another places Pikachu and Eevee facing each other in battle-ready poses, creating one of our favourite emblem collections.

Collectors can also complete the machine with Pokémon WizBats, adding themed artwork directly onto the flippers where players spend most of their time looking.

Which Version Should You Choose?

The truth is... there isn't a wrong answer.

The Pro offers incredible value.

The Premium adds extra mechanical features and a completely different artistic personality.

The Limited Edition combines exclusive artwork, purple powder coating and rarity to create one of the most collectible Stern machines in recent years.

Whichever version you own, Wizard Mod has created a complete collection of upgrades designed specifically for it.
