If you ever wanted to know what it would be like to be a paparazzi but with Pokémon, then boy do I ever have a game for you. On April 30, New Pokémon Snap will be released for the Nintendo Switch. Wanna-be photographers will be jetting off to the isles of the Lental region in New Pokémon Snap. It features dense jungles, vast deserts, and everything in between. It's full of Pokémon just waiting to be discovered.
Like its predecessor, New Pokémon Snap will put you in the shoes of a budding Pokémon photographer. You will be working with the Lental region expert, Professor Mirror and his assistant Rita. You will be tasked with snapping as many beautiful photos of Pokémon as you possibly can on your fairly linear adventure.
Take photos of these creatures be they in groups, alone in plain site, or tucked away in hidden alcoves. You will be evaluated on how well the subject is posed, how large they appear, if they're facing the camera, and if they're fully in the frame. As players advance and take more photos, they may notice that the Pokémon are behaving in entirely new ways during their adventure.
The untouched depths of the Lental region may sound daunting at first, but don’t worry. Explorers will hop into the NEO-ONE, an auto-driving vehicle, which will steer them across various paths on each island and will help free up time to focus on snapping the perfect shots. Throughout your missions, you may even get to see Pokémon looking and behaving differently than ever before. These special moments are memories to savor, so, luckily, you’ll always have your trusty camera on hand to capture them for Pokémon posterity.
Some Pokémon and vegetation that players may discover will appear to have a special glow. These strange occurrences are found only in the Lental region and are known as the Illumina Phenomenon. Jump into the trusty NEO-ONE and uncover the mystery behind the Illumina Phenomenon!
