Pokémon Snap is a spin-off game of the Pokémon series released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. It was developed by HAL Laboratory with Pax Softnica and published by Nintendo. The game was originally planned to be a Nintendo 64DD game, but was later changed to a Nintendo 64 game due to Nintendo's decision release the game at an earlier date. Although the Japan-exclusive game Pocket Monsters Stadium was the first game in the series to feature Pokémon in 3D, Pokémon Snap was the first 3D Pokémon game to be released worldwide.

As one of the most unique games in a renowned series, Pokémon Snap was the first truly 3-D Pokémon game and introduced the phenomenon to the Nintendo 64. Travel to Pokémon Island and meet Professor Oak to begin a safari to take the best possible photographs of 63 different Pokémon as they exist in the wild, undisturbed by humans. This is not as easy as it sounds—the island has many types of climates and environments to explore, along with secret activities and hidden passages to discover. Plus, some of the Pokémon can be a little shy and won’t pose for the camera unless you tease them with special items! After you’re done, submit one picture of each Pokémon to Professor Oak, and he’ll judge it based on size, pose, technique, and number of Pokémon captured. Better start practicing if you want to snap the perfect shot!

Gameplay
The player takes the role of Todd Snap, a photographer invited by Professor Oak to take pictures of the Pokémon that inhabit Pokémon Island. The goal of the game is to photograph all of the 63 different Pokémon on the island for Professor Oak's report. The player starts off with only the camera and is given other items as they progress, such as apples to throw into open areas, Pester Balls to knock out or stun Pokémon, and the Poké Flute to wake up sleeping Pokémon. There are seven areas of Pokémon Island: Beach, Tunnel, Volcano, River, Cave, Valley, and Rainbow Cloud.
At the time of the game's release, players could take their Game Pak to a Pokémon Snap Station at Blockbuster stores in North America or Lawson stores in Japan to have their in-game photographs printed onto stickers. This feature is partly kept in the Virtual Console version, in which players are able to send the pictures they have taken in the game to the Wii Message Board and send them to friends.
