Levels are unlocked, not through unique and cool discoveries, but through a mundane leveling system that literally locks certain pokemon from a level until you grind through it a few times....

This game in total is 6 HOURS TO COMPLETE. 6 hours, including cutscenes, tutorials, and story segments. No, not all of the Pokémon are in the game, maybe about 15-20%, there are no secret paths, or special evolutions, this is a very basic game, that only improves from the original with graphics, in terms of gameplay there are very little in terms of significant improvements. I can't even recommend this game over the original, as it felt special, and you earned abilities that really made the game feel special, and the photographs felt unique and interesting. In 'New' Pokémon Snap, you gain star ratings for photos, that seem to be entirely random, sometimes you'll get 4 stars for an idle Pokémon, and sometimes it's 3 stars, pretty much random and never explained in game. This game much like the Pokémon franchise in general as of late is completely overhyped, and undelivers in nearly every single aspect. Do not buy this game, it is a complete waste of your money, and your time.… Expand

    New Pokémon Snap literally looks and plays like it could be a $10 game for iOS and Android and I'm not even joking. If anything, it should be a mini-game in the main series, because there's not enough substance for it to be a full-priced standalone game.    … Expand

    60€ por un juego de hacer fotos no tiene ningún tipo de sentido.
    La jugabilidad es arcaica y el progreso por los "niveles" se hace repetitivo y lento.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Many times I have criticized previous Pokémon games for the same problem, so my criteria will be consistent with this one.
    That there are only 200 pokémon and little else, considering that there are currently 1000, is a lack of respect for TPCI when it comes to spin-offs.

    I don't ask for all the existing pokémon to be there, but at least half would have been something more appropriate, as well as more open areas to explore and have some control where we want to go to take photos.
    New Pokémon Snap feels like a short game whose potential was left halfway, in pursuit of making more money with the brand.    … Expand

This game is primarily an upgrade to the original N64 game in a variety of ways. Sure, no mid stage evolutions is a huge loss, but in return, you have a variety of Pokemon from every generation, well animated and everything.

    About me: I played the original on N64 & im a big Pokemon fan and played all main line games & most spin offs.
    Pokemon Sw/Sh disappointed me a lot, it felt lacking and rushed. new Pokemon snap for me tho, is a game that makes me feel like im a child again, exploring the routes, discovering secrets, watching the pokemon in aw. This sequel is all I've ever wanted from it: it's charming, cute und strangely addictive.
    It has a great replay value because for each location there are research levels (1-4) On each level theres new things happening, for example new interactions or even new Pokemon. The Pokemon get more comfortable to you and i can't help but care for all of them (new snap made me love Pokemon i didnt care about before like Bidoof lol). You also discover secret branches in each areas that lead you to discover entirely new things! There's tons of hidden stuff and secrets.
    I particularly love that most courses have a night version too! My god, going through the jungle at night, watching all the glowing plants and lights is gorgeous!! I replayed the jungle probably 30 times and i still didn't explore everything. Each Pokemon has 4 different poses worth of stars too, so like bidoof for example, when he's just chilling its 1 star, when he's eating an apple it's 2 stars, when he's building his dam it's 3 stars and 4 stars you get when you snap him swimming happily. For me it's a ton of fun trying to get all 4 stars for every Pokemon.
    Yes, it's true, not all Pokemon are included in this game. My favorite Pokemon for example isn't included and you know what? That's absolutely fine! Imagine 700+ Pokemon in 4 different stars, i'd get so tired. I'd rather have less Pokemon but those added being charming and cute.

    The only thing I'd maybe criticize would be that Pokemon evolving is mising in the game & maybe the music. The courses are without music but then again, you hear the environment, the cries of the Pokemon and more, which makes it feel more realistic.

    To everyone who loved the original: pick this game up, I promise you'll love it.
    If you're new to the series: if you don't mind that there's no fighting and rather you'd like to observe and explore, give this game a go. I tend do be very critical with games, but this one I absolutely love!

    Conclusion:

    + gorgeous environments
    + adorbale Pokemon that feel alive and real
    + tons of stuff to explore, like secret branches in areas
    + night time of the courses is BEAUTIFUL & there's different pokemon!
    + research levels & 4 star point systems give replay value for each course
    + diverse courses: jungle, park, desert, deep sea flooring, beach, forest & more
    + sharing pictures with friends online, you can see their snaps
    + requests give extra challenge, like snapping a Pokemon in a rare pose etc.
    + noises in each area are amazing

It can often be immersive, especially with the inclusion of online features allowing players to show their individual experiences. After release there was a content update that added two more environments and some extensions and updates to already existing ones.

    Vous aurez accès progressivement au cours de vos explorations à divers accessoires. Les célèbres pommes, qui vous pourrez lancer au niveau ou sur les Pokémons afin de les faire réagir différemment. Mais également de la musique, un radar qui vous servira également à détecter des Pokémon et autres éléments particulier mais surtout aux orbes Lumina.

    Les orbes Lumina sont des éléments propres à l’archipel que le professeur arrivera à développer grâce à vos photos de fleur Lumina que vous trouvez sur votre chemin. Grâce à ces orbes vous pourrez les lancer sur les Pokémons afin de les faire briller de manière temporaire. Cette réaction fait réagir le Pokémon mais également les Pokémon voisins.
    Après votre expédition, le professeur vous demandera de sélectionner une photo de chaque Pokémon que vous avez pris. Il passera ensuite en revue vos photos et les notera en fonction des différents paramètres citez plus haut. Il vous donnera un score chiffré mais également représenté par un niveau d’étoile, de fer à diamant.

    Vous débloqué de nouvelle zone progression après avoir exploré les précédentes zones disponibles. De plus, vos possédez un niveau d’exploration pour chaque zone. A chaque niveau différent, les Pokémons qui apparaisse change ainsi que leurs interactions. Il faudra donc refaire régulièrement les zones pour augmenter son niveau.
    Et c’est ici que le plus gros problème du jeu se pose. Au début, la monté de niveau est rapide, une expédition peut suffire. Mais rapidement, il faut refaire plusieurs fois la même zone sans arriver à trouver de quoi apporté de nouveau. Et c’est ici que le jeu devient très répétitif.

    La manque d’ambition se sent, excepté les quelques poses et les différentes zones et quelques chemin alternatif, bah il n’y a rien d’autre. D’ailleurs chemin alternatif parfois difficile à trouver, car nécessitant une interaction précise avec un Pokémon à un moment précis. Même si le jeu possède une direction artistique joli, un environnement sonore sympathique. En une dizaines heures on commence à tourner en rond. Plus de pose, plus de Pokémon ou encore la présence de Pokémon Chromatique aurait été un plus pour une partie du public.

    Toutefois je n’ai pas encore parlé des boss. Ces boss sont simplement les Pokémons Luminescent de manière naturelle. Après avoir découvert l’ensemble des lieux sur une île, vous découvrirez une source lumina associé où est présent un tel Pokémon.
    Vous aurez vite l’impression d’être dans une arène à devoir faire une première interaction avec les Pokémon cible avant de pouvoir les illuminé via un orbe et le prendre en photo. Et certaine musique de ces moments sont des musiques de boss. Sans oubliez la difficulté qui augmente très fortement sur les derniers et sur le boss final.

    Vous aurez accès également à d’autres fonction dans ce nouveau titre. Notamment des fonctions en ligne. Vous pouvez récupérer vos photos et les modifié à la manière d’Instragram. Vous pourrez ensuite en mettre six en ligne en même temps. Sachant que le professeur en met deux de lui-même selon leur qualité.
    Vous obtiendrez des médailles Pomme donnez par les autres joueurs. Toutefois vous n’aurez accès qu’a une petite sélection de photos d’autre joueurs. Une de votre langue et une internationale, vous pourrez donner une médaille pour chaque photo si vous le souhaitez. Vous pourrez également visiter le profil des joueurs et consulté un classement selon le score de l’ensemble des photos et ainsi voir votre position.

    Au global, le jeu offre une expérience très bonne avec une ambiance clame et posée. Les environnements sont variés et agréables à parcourir. Chaque nouvelle expédition offre ces surprises et découverte agréable. Les explorations nécessitent une attention et une réactivité constante. Les Pokémons Luminescent offre un défi supplémentaire.

    Cependant, rapidement la nécessité de refaire à plusieurs reprise les mêmes zones sans modification donne un sentiment de monotonie. Le jeu devient bien plus pénible et ennuyant car en dehors des expéditions il n’y pas grande chose à faire.    … Expand

They haven't hesitated to milk the mainstream Pokemon games into oblivion. Anyway, does the game live up to our excessive nostalgia? Well, it basically does, yeah.

    The graphics are charming, however if you have played any Pokemon game from the last decade they will not be too surprising. Nintendo seem to be scared to hire new artists. Having said that, there is nothing bad about the graphics my qualm would be that it's not exactly living up to it potential - it doesn't really look like two decades have passed. A few scenes are quite nice when it's colourful and out in the open, however too often we're drawn into dark caves that do little for the eyes.

    The gameplay is key to Pokemon Snap and I don't think there is much here to complain about. It can be incredibly fun to watch the Pokemon in their natural habitat and try to capture their photo at just the right moment. I don't think a huge amount has changed from the first game and in this case that's not a bad thing.

    When first playing through the game I found the levels to be a little threadbare and barren of Pokemon and interesting sights. I then discovered that as you progress this increases, although sometimes not by much. I also think they did themselves a disservice by making the legendary Pokemon obscured and hard to find without looking it up online.

    What may infuriate some people is that it's not a fast game. It's designed to be more chilled however the menus and dialog I found to be painfully slow at times.

    The rating system for photos is mostly okay, but a few times it can become and arbitrary pain in the butt as it chooses how many stars to give your photo. Also, the grinding can be ridiculous to get to level 3 and beyond for most levels.

    The story makes a refreshing change from the mainline games with a familiar face or two popping up. What I like is how you could basically play through the game and pay the story minimal attention and not have your experience hindered. Some of the Pokemon choices involved did seem a bit curious, but again that can also be refreshing.

    Overall, if you came to have your Pokemon Snap itch scratched, I think you will leave quite satisfied. The game seems to pride itself on replayability and I did find myself going back after the credits rolled and that's not something I do a lot. It could probably have benefitted from a bit more imagination in the level design and more Pokemon, although it definitely has a lot more Pokemon than the original!    … Expand

    Overall I enjoyed my time with the game. I thought it was pretty, I thought it had a lot to see and photograph. But it only just barely bellies up past the bar of mediocre. So why?

    1. It misses the spirit of the first game in many ways
    2. replaying feels stressful and confusing as to what you need to photograph, instead of photographing what you want

    What I really enjoyed here was the amount of pokemon on each map is way up. To be expected with better hardware. Changing your controls and sensitivity is welcome, and so many games need control options. This isn't 1999, so bonus points for that. Like the original game the score doesn't follow what actually looks good, but hey that is expected. However it is not so clear what makes a good shot anymore. Size score isn't consistent anymore strangely. They also give you 4 behaviors per pokemon to capture and I love this idea. However, sometimes it seems impossible to know the difference between any behaviors at all, and even more odd, two different behaviors are often considered the same. WHY? So if you play this game and don't know what you did wrong, it might be nothing, try a similar shot again.

    Honestly as annoyed as I am at $60 games for the less potent games, like zelda links awakening remake, I think this game is actually priced appropriately. Maybe $50 would have been better, but now that Playstation games are $70 I'll take what I can get.

    What can I say, I agree with most people. While I actually don't mind a XP system, I don't like HOW it is used. The original game rewarded your clever thinking to unlock new areas. But now you have to grind for xp to unlock the next level in a map or new map altogether. I would have loved the XP system to unlock different cameras or camera gear like a longer range or wider field lens. An infrared attachment, a rapid fire attachment etc. Same with the on rails cart, maybe choose different cart attachments, like a stealth version, one that can get taller for a better view, or a faster or slower cart depending on your needs, a booster perhaps? Breaks?

    What I like is how the pokemon interact with the environment, but I wish there was more chance to effect the pokemon with my actions. I remember how often you could actually make pokemon evolve by coaxing them into a certain area or feeding them apples. What I do appreciate is more of the map paths with a single "boss" like encounter. Though again, I feel the level up system is not helping it out at all.

    Lumina orbs are really cool, and I find them a fine enough change over pester balls, I get it, round corners so that you don't make babies cry at the pokemon being bothered by pester balls, but I wish they did a little more with them and remove the scan feature. I hate the scan feature, it seems very lazy and unintuitive. I feel like I need to scan because I don't know when or where scans will help or do something, it is a general sweep instead of giving me the chance to target a spot like with apples and lumina orbs(or pester balls in the past). Its only use is for when a path branches, and it doesn't seems to be useful for that either, why not just let me hit a button to go to the fork without scanning in the first place? It isn't like you are unlocking new paths with clever actions anyhow.

    In the end, I enjoyed it. A bit of stress took a lot out, and the spirit of the game was forgotten with not much in the way of innovation. Still, I look forward to perhaps some DLC maps to bring more life to the game in the next year. Perhaps a visit to the original maps and meeting Professor Oak would be a cool idea. As it stands though, I can't rate the game as highly as the first game, short as it was to beat. The first game never overstayed its welcome, at times this game can drag. Skip this unless you are the type who likes to %100 games, otherwise the XP system will be frustrating and take you out of the fun of photographing wildlife in search of some silly particular photo.    … Expand

    Here you selectyour charcter, youre given a camera to go research pokemon for professor mirror… and the progression is the same as last time, you take as many picture as you can, the best you can, get graded on the pictures.. and once you’ve earned enough experience in an area youll go back to the lab, be given new info to drive the story along and youre back at it.. however this time around areas level up, each time you level up there will be new pokemon for you to find and interact with… as as you progress the story youll be given new items, like these balls to make pokemon and plants glow… andthis ime around, this on rails shooter feels more like going through aworld that’s lived in rathr han a world a bunch of pokemon are just running around in. there are veen day and nights versions of most levels, and even these illumine spots where you take pictures of legendary glowing pokemon… unfortunately though, new pokemon snap, while it is a heaftier and more substantial game, taking me about 10 hours to complete.. it isn’t as magical as the original. Simply because new pokemon snap is just overly complicated… what I loved about the original pokemon snap is its feeling of discovery… you got pictures and found pokemon simply by organically interacting with the world, throwing fruit, playing your flute, something ctaching your eye. Making a voltorb explode to unlock a new area… it felt like pure magic discovering something new.. here in new pokemon snap, everything is overly complicated and too high-tech… its constat axiety of waiting for the scan bubble to pup up, pressing the scan button, scanning whatever object the game wants you to check out, try to quickly read the text and do what you think the ame wants you to do in that moment… even taking new paths requires a scan, rather than again, making a voltorb explode, or make a pokemon explode a rock.. it has its moments of this, but not nearly enough.. which brings me to the pokemon.. im a litte confused on how leveling up areas work, as you only get credit on new pictures that score better than the last picture… so if I get a really good picture of picachu on this level, pickachu doesn’t count towards my score for this new level? So I just ignore older pokemon? To be fair there is a star system here to help combat this as you can get a 1-4 star picture, but that star system disrespect your time as a player.. you could get 3 different star level photos of the same pokemon, but youre only allowed submitting one picture for each pokemon you take a picture of.. even though you have a free space for that star level in your album… its annoying and forces grind a handful of times during the campaign, when youre just trying to unlock the next section… let me go back and get a different star picture of the same pokemon so I can move on… which brings me to the illumina spots.. these are just lame.. 2 out of the 5 are cool. But for the most part its just a stretched out boring slog of trying to hit these giant pokemon with an apple and a glowing ball for 5 minutes, and getting a picture of them glowing, while nothing cool happens around.. easily the weakest aspect of pokemon snap.. but I do like the idea and concept.. we just need a little more heart racing action…
    Overall through /I love bew pokemon snp, despite its world feeling not so magical.. id love a follow up down the line that impliments more organic discovery, and less scan all of these items…

    This is an enjoyable bout that I've been waiting to get my hands on for many years at this point. I had a good time playing this game and while I have yet to finish the game completely, I believe I've played enough to form a solid opinion on it. I will go over key points as to the great parts and the problems of this cute and interesting snap-a-thon.

    Graphics: The game looks phenomenal.    This is an enjoyable bout that I've been waiting to get my hands on for many years at this point. I had a good time playing this game and while I have yet to finish the game completely, I believe I've played enough to form a solid opinion on it. I will go over key points as to the great parts and the problems of this cute and interesting snap-a-thon.

    Graphics: The game looks phenomenal. Everything looks beautiful on the eyes and I enjoy going to new places in order to see the excellent landscapes that have been built from the ground up. Also seeing my favorite Pokemon roam around in gorgeous HD is a sight I've been waiting to see forever!

    It is "New" Pokemon Snap! (At least for the most part): If you played the original game, this game does build on it in multiple ways. As mentioned the graphics are of course upgraded, and the number of Pokemon you can encounter has tripled. There are also more settings to see these little critters live their lives. We also get the addition of "Illumina Pokemon" which are an interesting concept at first, but kind of falls flat as time goes on (We'll get back to them in a second). Unfortunately, the game also removes Pokémon evolving from the first game, which is extremely depressing as it was an exciting part of the N64 original. So I would say generally, the game has a lot more to offer than the original but some parts do fall a tiny bit flat.

    The Game can get really repetitive: With the game clocking in at just under 10 hours, and many of the core game mechanics being given to you shortly after you start, you begin to wonder what will keep you interesting for the remaining few hours. And honestly, not a lot does. Barring times you get into new areas, a lot of the natural and interesting parts of the game become boring as you see the same Pokémon doing the same actions over and over again. Taking the same photos as you've taken half a dozen times before doesn't make for a really interesting time at many points. And going back to Illumina Pokémon, they are perhaps the biggest disappointment in this game as there is little interest in them as their stages are 5 minute, 'boss-fight' esc excursions where you take a photo of the same Pokemon 40 times and this "Illumina Pokemon" is nothing more than a glowing, large version of a Pokemon we've seen multiple times in past Pokemon games.

    The Star System: In New Pokemon Snap, there is a very uninteresting star system that makes it even more of a bore to get 100%. Basically, depending on how you take a photo, some images get 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, or 4 stars. These ratings depends on a number of events happening, like if the Pokemon is eating one of the fluffberries, maybe it'll get 2 stars or if its doing something because of an ingame-event that you causes maybe It'll get 4 stars. The concept is boring and repetitive, especially because you can only choose one of these photos at a time, so you need to get all 4 stars each time you go around. It's not very good, and if a Snap 3 ever comes out I think it's something that needs a good amount of changing.

    In conclusion I would recommend this game to you if you are interested in getting it. But if a game like Pokemon Snap doesn't really interest you all too much I wouldn't purchase it, or not until that hefty 60 dollar price tag decides to drop. It's a fun game that I feel many OG Pokemon Snap players would enjoy but it has many problems, some of which the original didn't have which makes it a difficult topic to discuss which one is the better of the two. I do hope a 3rd game in the franchise does eventually come out, but I hope it makes multiple improvements that this one lacked.    … Expand

    - Interesting Pokemon interactions and animations

    Neutral:
    - The different ways you can find in the map were good but could have been better, sometimes they were to short or not that special
    - The characters were fitting but could have been brought more into the game (especially the kids)
    - Can get boring if you dont like this typ of game and dont find the pokemon/secret youre looking for

    Cons:
    - Price is a little bit too much, 40-50€ would have been more fitting, for people who love this game and want to discover everything the 60€ feel okay, but fore the standard player who just finishes the story and only plays the post game a little bit its too much
    - No Evolutions, correct me if im wrong but I think there are no evolutions in this game which I find kinda sad because they played a big part in the original game and scenes like where you feed a magikarp and it evolves into gyarados would have been amazing
    - The rating/star system is fine, but the stars could have been made better like being able to pick multiple pictures of the same pokemon with different stars ( for each star picture you can choose one) or something in that direction

    Overall its a good game but not perfect. A lot of the hate I see here is undeserved, theres either people who knew that this game was a rail photo shoter game, yet still bought it and then cry that you cant move freely or people who just rush it and then say that its too short.    … Expand

    It expands on the strengths of the original one, and makes some great additions like the star categories that really up the replayability and exploration elements of this game!

    To be honest I bought this game because I wanted to support pokemon spin-offs that weren't mobile games... And I was still unsure whether or not i would immediately regret it.

I never played the OG pokemon snap, I wanted to as a kid but as a responsible adult who has to consider finances and better understands their personal taste... What's the appeal of a few short cinematics?

    Let me tell you, I regret nothing. Pokemon snap's appeal is difficult to understand unless you've experienced it. It's more than just wholsome-but-scripted encountets and photography; but it's hard to put to words what's "more" about it. Maybe it scratcges an itch I didnt know I had for a pokemon world that feels alive.

    One thing I do know, the game plays like a seies of interactive short-films that evolve the more you watch them. And for some reason that's immensely satisfying

    What's more, do not underestimate the empowrering feeling that comes from the "re-snap" feature. Seperate from the photo-editing, this mechanic can take even your most botched photos and give you the tools you need to turn it into something that resembles the work of a professional nature photographer. The renap is very intuitive and allows you to manually perform "touch ups" after the photos are evaluated, but it goes beyond the kind of digital remaster you coukd get IRL, the feature actually lets you revisit the moment the picture was taken and snap a new photo entirely, with much more precision than you got in your first go through. Resnsp can salvage virtuslly any imsge, as long as there was a visible subject within 30 feet of the frame. but why wouldnt there be? there's almost always something going on (whether it be cute strange or outright agressive) no matrter where the camera is pointed. I have spent more time fidling with re-snap than the rest of the game combined. Sure this game is somewhat "niche" and has some limitations, but overall I strongly recomend giving it a try, if you still arent sureif you think it's worth buying, I would suggest you test it out with a borrowed copy, if you can because a milion trailors and reviews could never do this game justice.    … Expand

    One of the most relaxed pokemon games, my favorite part about this game is the interactions you have with the pokemon. For Example: Throwing an apple at a pokemon making it wake up (and sometimes make them angry). Overall 9/10, but I am going to give it a 10/10 to balance out the bots.

    Brilliant update from the N64 original. The Pokémon are bursting with life and personality, and the graphics are outstanding for the Switch (with rare instances of frame rate drops - looking at you, Wailord!) Quite frankly this is a better-looking, more vibrant and lively Pokémon game than the "flagship" Sword and Shield games. It's absolutely fantastic.

    It's amazing. There are a lot of courses with different environments and Pokémon. Like in the original game, you have to use certain tools that you get by advancing in the game, to have the Pokémon strike certain poses or interact with each other. Every level has its own leveling mechanic, which changes the Pokémon and behavior of the Pokémon in it, as you make progress. Some levels also come with a nighttime version of the course or different paths you can chosse to take. While ~200 different Pokémon may feel like a small number in comparison with ~900 Pokémom overall, it's more than enough. Because some of them only appear after you solve a puzzle or progress in the game. And even if you have a full Photodex, there's still many different interactions to photograph to get all four stars of a Pokémon in the dex. To give you an idea how long it takes to finish the dex (not 100% it, just get one picture of every Mon): It took me those 15+ hours playtime and I'm on place 100 in the ranking. That means I was one of the faster people to finish the Photodex, despite the time I took to sleep/cook/work.

    Anyone that claims the game only has 6 hours of playtime has not even come close to finishing it. Now I could mention a lot of the other mechanics like the well-thought-out "bossfights" or the picture-editor but that would blast the lenght of this review even further. The only negative aspect, which I think is worth mentioning, is that there aren't any evolutions you can trigger, like in the first game. However, that's the only thing I'd really complain about. TL;DR: Amazing game, lots of content, easily more than 15 hours of playtime. Great successor and 9/10.

The only part that I dislike about this game is how it got the ''switch treatment'' and is being sold as a fully priced game just because Nintendo could, but outside of that, this is an excellent game that is worth getting despite it's price. When they first announced it, I was afraid on how it would be a very short game with maybe 5 hours of gameplay with secrets included, but no, I am many hours in and I feel like I am barely started. So far, every stages I visited have a day and night variant and each of them have many ''levels'' in each variants that upgrades the level adding more pokemons and changing their behaviors, as an example, in the very first level you have pichu and grooky being coutious about you, but the more you progress, the more they will approach you, showing that they grew more confortable with you plus new paths gets unlocked too. Another point that makes it even more replayable is how you get extra missions given to you by the other characters and how every pokemons have a 1, 2, 3 and 4 stars poses with each of them having a bronze to diamond ranking system making you search real hard to find each perfect poses. The only thing I am missing from the original are the real time evolutions, so far i haven't seen any and I don't think there will be any, but with the amount of pokemons having more than tripled with way more replayability on top on an already expanded concept, this game is great and in my most honest opinion, this is a must get despite being ''just an on rail safari shooter''… Expand

    In a nutshell: as a researcher, you travel to various places, interact with wild Pokémon and take photos to document their behavior. This simple concept only works thanks to the Pokémon, but it doesn’t have to be a drawback, because the game shows the world of pocket monsters more realistically and vividly than any title before it.
