Gameplay
- The premise of the game involves catching Pokémon, much like the main-series games.
- Save data can be saved and re-accessed at a later date with use of a game card provided by the machine. This card's QR code is scanned by the machine to access it again.
- Doing this requires the input of ¥200, and it also lets the player customise their appearance, as well as saving data. They also now have the option of choosing a starter Pokémon, one from the Gen IX starter set. These starters can not be used in battle, although 'level up' at the end of each session depending on the number of stars earned.
- The player chooses a biome to explore. Upon the first encounter, they are given a random selection of 3 Pokémon (unless they have already have others kept in physical game cards).
- 3 Pokémon are found in the wild. One of the player's Pokémon is chosen to stay at the front, i.e. the one that will be doing damage.
- Attacks are turn-based, with the higher speed stat allowing one to move first. Damage dealt is based on type match-ups, frequency of inputs on the two large side buttons, and the result of a random spin-wheel with arbitrary numbers on each spindle.
- All 6 Pokémon involved are damaged. When one of the enemy Pokémon has fainted, the player has the option to pay ¥100 for the opportunity to catch all 3 enemies. Chances of catching each one are independent and are based on HP left, base Poke-Energy, and another spin-wheel with different types of Pokéballs. Any Pokémon that are caught are distributed from the machine as physical game cards.
- Stars are earned during battle. Each one lets the player move one step across the 'Tanken Road', shown on a separate screen. At the end of a path, you are given a selection of patches of grass, and a Pokéball can be thrown at a random one, each attempt costing ¥100. Any Pokémon caught are once again dispensed as physical cards.
- The arcade game has a two-player function as well, where two people can each use their own game cards and fight together against a stronger Pokémon.
