The originalPokemon Snapwas an oddly intriguing game for many fans of the classic franchise. Rather than catching Pokemon in Pokeballs, the player was tasked with capturing them through pictures. While the player is allowed to throw bait at Pokemon and play music to change their behaviors, somewhat similarly to the mechanics present in the safaris seen in themainlinePokemongames,Pokemon Snapcompletely avoids many of the other staples of the franchise, such as battling and training.
Pokemon Snapproved to be so popular that it received a highly anticipated sequel in 2021, and theNew Pokemon Snapcaptured much of the original game’s charm. However, fans wanting a nostalgic trip through the first Pokemon photography simulator may be in luck, as recently the initialPokemon Snapgame was given a release date for its arrival in the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, adding to the expansive roster of N64 games available via the subscription service.
