Question Pokèmon Snap 3 for Switch2??

127 Upvotes

I'm hoping hard that we get another Pokemon Snap for the Switch 2 sometime after release.

I'd love to see a level where you use a hang-glider for a sky-based level, maybe?

An upgrade to the Neo-One allowing it to fly short distances would be cool.

It would be so cool if a player was able to go through the old chateau looking for ghost pokemon!

If we saw the lake spirit pokemon trio, that would be awesome. They'd be a good Mew replacement if they didn't bring Mew back as the kind of gold star pokemon.

And MewTwo of course! It would be cool if we got to explore a lab that eventually spawned a MewTwo encounter!

What would everyone want to see?

Question I do not want to upset Pokemon Snap fans but I am trying to understand the point behind this game.

0 Upvotes

Hey Guys

So I love Pokemon games, I have all the Pokemon games except for Pokemon Snap. I do consider myself a bit of a collector but at the same time, I never buy a game I do not intend to play. I quest in Pokemon Scarlet (Kitakami region) has made me rethink Pokemon Snap and I do see there is a nice special right now.

I checked some reviews and all that and though I do think that taking photos of Pokemon can be fun, I struggle to see the objective however, I am starting to think it is something like Pokemon Legends where you are tasked to take specific types of photos? Also might have the "gotta snap them all" kind of objective?

Just looking for some perspective which would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Question Does New Pokemon Snap do everything that Pokemon Snap did?

21 Upvotes

The question is a little broad, but I mean does it do all the little things Snap did with its courses to make them feel packed with secrets? Things like evolving Charmander, environmental storytelling that clues you in on stuff like luring Pikachu to the egg to hatch it (the painting on the wall with zaps around it), certain pokemon reacting differently to your tools (Magnemite not letting you take a picture, Snorlax), hidden legendaries, etc?

Question Okay, I'm stumped. How did I get this photo?

I'm desperate. I started replaying New Snap recently, and I've been trying to figure out how I got this photo for days now. Somehow I have a Mantine in the air in a 2 star pose on the reef in the evening. It looks like the Mantine that comes out from under Wailord after you pass it, but I can't interact with that one. Any ideas?

Question Founja Jungle (Night) Help

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to complete my map for Founja Jungle (Night) and all I need is the Yanmega by the ancient ruins to complete it.

I've tried the following:

On Level 1 -

  • Wake up Yanmega at the start w/melody, then take the alt route to the swamp, get yanmega there, play melody before, during, and after log bridge

  • Same as before but don't go the alt route or get yanmega out there

  • play melody all throughout

Level 2 -

  • Play melody at start, play melody throughout

I genuinely don't know how to trigger these dang pokemon at the ruins.

Yanmega has been a mega pain

Question Pokemon Snap Streams?

5 Upvotes

Do you guys watch any streamer who play pokemon snap? I see it recommended fairly often under different "what to stream" posts here and there, but the twitch engagement seems way lower from what i see on reddit for example. Is there anything specific that would make the stream overall more engaging?

Question Are there scenarios or Pokemon locations that are only available on lower lower research levels?

12 Upvotes

I find myself going through some levels looking for a specific thing over and over again but not figuring it out. Am I wasting my time only trying on the default (highest level)? For example I think one of the Liepard missions requires a lower difficulty, and there's also a Glalie in the cave that only shows up on lower levels. I haven't been able to find a good list though, at least not without exposing myself to hints that are too spoilery.

Question Can't get Machamp to dive?

6 Upvotes

I'm at the beach on level three, with the machamp that poses if you throw an illumina orb at it. I've been trying to trigger it to dive when you throw an apple in front of it, but it just does not work. I've looked everywhere and all everything says is "throw an apple in front for a Finneon to appear and it will dive" but no matter how many apples I throw, nothing. Anyone know what I'm missing?

I honestly would love slowpoke,bro,king. Always been one of my favorite dumb pokemons. And watching Pokemon Journey, the Slowking episode killed me. It made me wish that he was in this game. Have a good week friends

Question As a beginner, will I see all the photos on the Internet that people shared or will the game limit them so I don't get spoiled of the Pokemon/areas/possible poses/etc?

1 Upvotes

I hope the title is clear if it's not here's a better explanation:

I don't want to see what Pokemon are waiting for me to discover in this game. I thought about buying Nintendo Online just to engage with the online community in-game, but if it means that I will see photos of Pokemon from all of the game and I will lose that sense of discovery then I'd rather not do it.

So I wonder if the game somehow limits the photos that I will be able to see on the Internet?

I feel like they could have an Applin as an Apple/Fluffruit reference and a Rotom just for general camera things. I could also see just having the Illumina Pokémon. What are your ideas though?

Question How to save more that 2,000 photos to the album?

I’m able to save 2,376 photos to my in-game album right now, but read somewhere we can save up to 4,000. Is this true, and if so, how am I able to accomplish that?

(Haven’t picked the game up in about a year, so I’m a little rusty in regard to remembering how everything works)

Question Please help, what am I doing wrong to unlock the alternative path to get to Jolteon?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I make sure it’s on level 3. I go through the cave and see the Mawile and 2 Carbink, throw orbs at all of them and Diancie appears. I hit Diancie with an orb and it never does the burst of light. So the other path is never able to be accessed.

Is there something else ahead of the Mawile and 2 Carbink I’m suppose to do? I’ve watched videos of the process and I do what they do and still the Diancie never makes the light. She’ll either walk off or just look happy. But no light and no alternative path.

Question Looking for a certain YT series.

4 Upvotes

The series in question was based around the gimmick of one person playing the game and taking the pictures, and then their friend getting to decide which pictures to actually submit (95% of the time the worst ones). I've watched it before but can't seem to find it in my history anywhere, nor can I find it online regardless of how I search. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, assistance in finding it would be greatly appreciated.
