The Game

New Pokemon Snap is a simulation game about exploring islands inside a moving rover to take photographs of Pokemon in their natural habitat.

Your Pokemon photos are scored based on many criteria such as a Pokemon’s pose and the Pokemon’s size, encouraging you to revisit environments to take the very best pictures.

Additionally, photos can be saved, edited, and shared with other players for even more enjoyment.

New Pokemon Snap is exclusive to Nintendo Switch, and it is the next iteration of the Pokemon Snap series that first started on Nintendo 64 in 1999.

I loved the original and I’m looking forward to delving into this New Pokemon Snap.
