Pokémon Get Round and Round (Japanese: ポケモンくるくるゲット) is a Japanese arcade medal game released by Bandai Namco Games. Players can use medals that are deposited into a funnel in attempt to land them on various areas of a rotating platform to earn more medals.
Gameplay
First released in April 2010, Pokémon Get Round and Round has two machine varieties: yellow and blue. The yellow machine is a lower grade than blue, featuring comparably larger prize areas but smaller payouts. Other than the jackpot area, the largest payout on the yellow machine is 6 medals, whereas the largest payout on the blue machine is 10 medals. The prize area sizes directly correlate with their payout, with the jackpot area not much larger than that of a medal. The jackpot accumulates as the machines are used, with a maximum for both of 99 medals. Generally, the yellow machine also features "cute" un-evolved Pokémon, whereas the blue machine features "cool" Legendary or evolved Pokémon, reflecting the grades of the two machines.
In March 2011, another set of machines were released featuring branding from Pokémon the Series: Black & Whiteof the anime and with new Pokémon from Generation V. Other than their design, the machines are identical to the originals, with the aqua machine fulfilling the role of the yellow, and the red machine fulfilling that of the blue.
