THis game was okay, but the whole concept was kinda boring. You just go thru the same worlds and the same exact thing happens, every time. its pretty boring after u play it 4 a while.

Sure, its fun 4 five minutes, but after that Id rather be taking pics of my bathroom than the Pokemon in this game. I spent $3.95 on this game, but now I wish I would have bought gum or marbles instead!
Easy and Boring

When a phenomenon as big as Pokemon was, you'll always find the companies trying to cash in as quick as they can and get the most money. So many Pokemon-related stuff coming out: cereal, plush toys, band-aids, and games of course. Here we have a different approach to the Catch-em-All tagline: you take their picture. It's fun, neat and short.
Story: You don't play Pokemon games for their story but essentially Pokemon professor and researcher Oak wants pictures taken of the Pokemon so you hop in his vehicle and travel different areas to do it. Pretty simple, no?
Graphics: This is in the N64 days so it's not incredibly detailed but it does its job well although you might find like the Simpsons, Pokemon look odd in 3D.
Sound/Music: Unlike the Gameboy games, the characters actually say their name for once which is a good plus. Music was ok but nothing hummable, like most Pokemon music.
Gameplay: The pictures you take are ranked in basic areas: how close they are to camera and not extreme close-up or faraway either; whether they're in the middle of the frame, if they're doing a special pose and if there's more of them in frame. To get the poses you have 3 basic moves: using your Poke-flute which could make them dance or maybe fall asleep, bait to get them closer to camera or a ball which basically gets them mad. Some also can net you a great photo such as one level, if you knock Pikachu off a balloon and you do something else you can get Pikachu to ride Articuno for extra bonus.
One complaint is the fact that you'll often re-try levels cause your machine is just too damn fast. Trying to take a picture of a creature when you need so much prep time isn't the best thing. You'd have to have incredibly good aim for many things too. Another complaint is that there's only around 60-65 Pokemon....out of 151?(This is pre Gold-Silver games). Some of my favorites from the games are not even in here like I don't think I saw one Eevee or its evolutions in the game.
Having an interest in photography I can appreciate a game like this but photography in a lot of cases is about patience. Waiting for that perfect moment before you click and riding that machine just quite frankly sucks but if you're into Pokemon, try it out(if you can find it still).
This game is completely addictive!

My boyfriend and I played this game and it was so much fun we were fighting over the controller. The premise seemed kind of dull but once you start snapping pictures you just can't stop. I highly recommend this game.
Very fun game

Pokemon Snap is great for younger kids and older kids. It's easy to learn and fun! It may even inspier children to be photographers when they grow up. My daughter got the game for Christmas and she loved it which means it is as good for boys as it is for girls. Now I just have to ask. . . . Who wouldn't love this game?
