Pokémon Snap is a spin-off game of the Pokémon series released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999 and later released for the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007. 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.
Blurb
"Professor Oak needs your help!
The Professor has asked you to capture the wild Pokémon of Pokémon Island...on film! Tour the island in your ZERO-ONE vehicle and snap pictures of Pokémon in their natural habitat. Wild Pokémon are often camera-shy, so you'll have to use special items to bring them out in the open. Only the best shots will do for the Professor's Pokémon Report, so sharpen your photography skills and get ready to SNAP!"
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.
In the Virtual Console version, players are able to send the pictures they have taken in the game to the Wii Message Board and send them to friends.
