This is a simplified approach to cater to the young fans who the series is obviously aimed toward. The Pokémon Snap professors want Pokémon dead center in the photo and sometimes even overblown in the shot just to have a piece of obvious evidence for their research. Nor is the game really appealing to the artistry of the medium. This helps to lessen any frustration that players may have when riding along, looking for their next great photo, but it might frustrate the more seasoned photographer who is trying to live their Pokémon fantasies and take some awe-inspiring shots of a Gyarados in a creamy whirlpool. The player doesn’t need to worry about overexposing their shot because a Pikachu decided to unleash a thunderbolt in their direction, nor do they need to consider what shutter speed would be best to snap a Zubat mid-flight.Įverything will print just as the player shot it on location. Pokémon Snap doesn’t bother with many of the technical aspects of photography, which is probably a good thing considering many children wouldn’t know where to start.

Set to Automatic for a Streamlined Experience The judgmental professors don’t appreciate what many might expect to be good photos, but the Pokémon Snap franchise nails the most important part of wildlife photography. However, when it comes to the technical and more artistic ideals of photography, Pokémon Snap has always been more of a “baby’s first camera” type of game. It can be a fun little excursion to experience these creatures in ways the core games never really exhibit. It takes a dream concept – immersing the player in the wild where they can watch Pokémon behavior – and combines it with an on-rails photography safari. The Pokémon Snap series has always been an underappreciated offshoot of the Pokémon franchise.
