We Are Pinball #53 "Pokemon and Pinball at the Beach!"

“This is like 200 pinball machines in a tent with everybody from the companies in attendance just wandering around, just interacting, having a great time. Liquid libations were flowing, as were the rumors and news confirmations and things.”

“I told people listen when this game released in 15 minutes they were gone all right a couple hours after that every show game was confirmed gone because people were thinking oh man if i only would have got here a little bit sooner maybe i could have got one of these”

“When I say pinball machine to people here, they're like, yeah, paintball, it's fun. You shoot each other. Not paintball. people doesn't know they don't know”

“if pokemon comes out and the layout is as you know pedestrian kind of easy approachable just like fall of the empire there's not a ton of cool mechs the pro is not that much different than the le um yeah i don't think i don't think it's worth the risk of jumping in thinking that it's gonna flip”

“is this a pump and dump? Are they hyping this up so we buy it and then all of a sudden the price drops to $8,500? We're stuck with it?”

“these aren't really people looking to buy like specific cars you know pokemon people aren't people that buy pinball machines so is just branding pokemon on a pinball machine going to have this massive crossover”

“They're just like, they're seriously mad about pinball, which is great. They're not just distributors that sit there and like, you know, sell games or whatever and drop ship everything. Like, they're showing up like, hey, here's a rare game that wasn't a huge seller, but not a lot of people have gotten to play it.”

“I don't want to buy a game and just leave it in the box thinking it's going to be this sought-after thing. I want to play the damn thing.”
