This new game brings the gameplay of the 1999 Pokèmon Snap game for the Nintendo 64™ system to life on the Nintendo Switch system with unknown islands to discover and different Pokèmon to see!
Photograph lively wild Pokèmon in their natural habitats as you research and explore unknown islands. Hop in your trusty travel pod, the NEO-ONE, and journey through a variety of environments such as beaches, jungles, and deserts to capture previously-unseen Pokèmon behaviors. You can even play a melody or toss Pokèmon a delicious fluffruit to catch their attention. Photos you take can also be used to fill out your very own Pokèmon Photodex!
Your photos are scored based on the Pokèmon’s poses, how large they appear, how directly they’re facing you, and other factors. You may even snap a four-star-worthy photo if you catch rare Pokèmon behaviors. These scores can be shared via in-game rankings* so you can compare your shots with other Pokèmon photographers around the world.
In the Lental region, Pokèmon and vegetation have sometimes been seen to glow. Meet Professor Mirror and work with him to uncover the mystery of the Illumina phenomenon. Your photos and observations may be key to learning about this strange occurrence.
