Pokémon Snap is an N64 photography game starring that kid you may
remember from the TV series, you know, Snap, well it looks like Nintendo didn't like that
name so his new name is Todd. Todd the photographer has to travel round different
locations and take pictures of wild Pokémon.
Todd travels round in a vehicle called zero one, a yellow car thing. You
have no control of the path it takes until later in the game. As you travel around with
your camera you can see wild Pokémon doing everyday things, (for a Pokémon not a human-
so no ironing). You only get 64 exposures per trip. At the end of your trip you recieve
marks from Proffessor Oak in his lab. You get a higher mark if the Pokémon is in the
centre of the picture, in a special pose, or is there other Pokémon around it.
Some of the rarer Pokémon, like Kabuto and Pinsir, to capture these on
film you have to take pictures of certain things first.
To help take a picture, you can throw various objects at the Pokémon,
like a pester ball, which distracts the Pokémon.
With your favourite pictures you can save in a photo album. If you lived
in America you'd be able to take them to Snap Stations in a Blockbuster video store, and
print out 16 of you favourite pictures for $3.
