Description

The New Pokémon Snap puts you in the role of a Pokémon photographer who is tasked with taking pictures of various Pokémon in their natural habitats. The player travels on a predefined route through various environments, such as jungles, beaches, and deserts, while taking pictures of the Pokémon they encounter.  The primary story mode sees the player help a Pokémon researcher investigate a mysterious phenomenon known as the Illumina phenomenon, which causes Pokémon to emit a glowing aura.

New Pokémon Snap features over 200 different Pokémon species from various generations of the Pokémon franchise. Players can use different tools, such as fruit to lure Pokémon and a scanner to identify them, to interact with the Pokémon and capture their best shots. The game uses a scoring system, where pictures are evaluated based on criteria such as pose, size, and placement. Players can share their photos online and compete with other players for the highest scores.
