Pokémon Snap

A very strange sounding game which should be hitting the stores this summer! Pokémon Snap is a Game where you run around and take pictures of pokémon! I know some of you think that the whole consept of the game sounds stupid! But think about it... you buy the game and turn it on for the first time... and your in this huge world with tons of places to go.. all of a sudden you spot Wild Pikachu running around you get up as close as you can to it and snap a picture! Sounds like fun! With 150 Pokémon you will be wanting to snap them all! "Pokémon Snap is a completely new kind of game, based on collecting pictures of different kinds of Pokémon as they behave in the wild. The game takes you on guided safaris through seven different environments on Pokémon Island, in a versatile vehicle that can travel in the water, on land, and through the air. Armed with your trusty camera and 60 exposures of film, you are free to look around the car in any direction and take pictures of Pokémon. Since these are wild Pokémon, many of them are not willing to pose for the camera. You'll have to find creative ways to get them positioned for the perfect shot, and sometimes you'll need to perform special tasks to get a particular type of Pokémon to appear. Once you take a picture of a Pokémon, even if it's a very poor shot, that Pokémon will be listed in Professor Oak's report. Your goal is to take the best possible picture of every Pokémon on the island. When you complete a safari, you can only choose one photo of each type of Pokémon to submit for Professor Oak's approval. The Professor will scrutinize each photo and assign it a score based on the following factors:

  • Size - How close is the Pokémon to the camera? The bigger, the better.
  • Pose - Is the Pokémon facing the camera? Bonus points are awarded if the Pokémon is doing something special.
  • Technique - Is the Pokémon centered in the middle of the frame?
  • Bonus - Is there more than one of the same kind of Pokémon in the shot?

    Professor Oak saves the number of Pokémon you've photographed in the Pokémon Report, and keeps the picture with the highest score on file. In addition to the pictures in the Pokémon Report, you can store up to 60 photographs in the Pokémon Album. No matter where a picture is stored, it can be enlarged and examined whenever you choose.Unlike your family excursions to visit the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota, your vacation to Pokémon Island is designed to keep you coming back for more. Each safari zone is loaded with secret things to discover, and it will take you quite a while to solve the puzzle of how to get some Pokémon to pose.

    Often you'll have to get Pokémon to interact with one another to unlock hidden passages. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, but the key to success in Pokémon Snap is experimentation and patience.

    The Pokémon experience goes 3D this July, when Pokémon Snap is scheduled pop up on store shelves. Nintendo Power Source wouldn't send you on a safari unprepared, so be sure to check back for photography advice as the release date approaches."
