Finally, a game where you can take photographs while playing. Pokemon Snap will be entirely different than other Pokemon Games. In this game, instead of players catching Pokemon, they will be taking snapshots of the Pokemon as their main objective.
Pokemon Snap: Introduction
Pokemon Snap will be the very first video game in Pokemon history that doesn’t include Pokemon being captured. The first-person rail shooter game will be more interactive than other Pokemon titles as explained by the developers. The game will revolve around Todd Snap. He is a Pokemon photographer that was called upon by Professor Oak. The game is developed by HAL Laboratory and PAX Softnica.
Pokemon Snap: Storyline
As stated, the game will entirely revolve around Todd Snap. He will roam around numerous island to take a snapshot of every Pokemon characters. With the aide of his amphibious buggy( Zero-One), it will lessen his time from traveling one island to another. Todd Snap needs to have a quality and rare picture of Pokemon before Professor Oak accepts it. The game is already available on Wii U right now.
Pokemon Snap: Gameplay
There are a total of 63 Pokemon(as of the moment) that Todd Snap needs to have a picture with. Sounds easy but it will be ultra hard as developers suggest. Common Pokemon on the list like Pikachu, Bulbasur and Jigglypuff. There are no updates yet if they will reveal legendary Pokemon.
Pokemon characters can be spotted all over the island. That is why the developers created 7 stage of the game. This levels can be separated from Volcano, River, Cave or even Valley. The most intriguing level, however, is the Rainbow Cloud. Players already have a notation on who will they snap on Volcanoes and bodies of water but Rainbow Cloud still remains a mystery.
Todd Snap will have a better “camera” as the game progress. He will also be given special items for him to lure and get a snapshot of those Pokemon. As reported, players will acquire apple-shaped food to stagger Pokemon and will be awarded wth what they call Pester Balls. This set of balls is use to daze and knock out Pokemon.
