<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< STORY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Professor Oak is a famous Pokémon researcher, and he's currently doing
research on Pokémon Island. There are no people on Pokémon Island, only
wild Pokémon live there, making it the perfect place to study Pokémon
in their natural habitat! Professor Oak thought of asking Pokémon
trainers to help him, but they might be too interested in catching
Pokémon.
So Professor Oak invited Todd, a talented young photographer, to come
to Pokémon island and take pictures of Pokémon in their natural
setting. The pictures would be used to complete the PKMN report.
So Todd left for Pokémon Island to take pictures of Pokémon and
complete Professor Oak's PKMN Report. He is equipped with nothing but
a camera and his vehicle, known as the "Zero-One". There are 6 courses
that contain a total of 63 Pokémon. Each time you go through a course
you are equipped with film good for 60 shots. Now you're ready for some
exciting picture taking action!
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< CONTROLS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
MOVEMENT - Pokémon Snap is an "On-rails" game. This means that you are
always moving forward (just like Star Fox 64). You cannot stop to take
pictures unless you run into a Pokémon (your vehicle, the Zero-One,
stops so you don't hurt any Pokémon). Use the control stick to look
around and point your camera at stuff. To look around quickly, press the
C-up, C-left, and C-right buttons. C-left and C-right turn you 90
degrees left or right. C-up makes you face forward. [NOTE: In water
stages, the Zero-One move a bit towards to direction you are facing. And
in all stages, you slow down if you are facing backwards.]
TAKE PICTURES - First, find the Pokémon that you want to take a picture
of. Then press the Z button to focus your camera. When you're in a good
position, press the A button to click the shutter and get the picture!
Professor Oak likes it when the Pokémon is in the center of the frame.
When it's in the center, the pokéball will light up and you'll hear a
beep.
USE ITEMS - At the start, you don't have any items at all. You'll get
them as you progress through the game. The items are...
a) Pokémon Food - Press the A button to throw Pokémon Food. This has
different effects with different Pokémon. Usually, Pokémon go to the
food. It's very useful for getting Pokémon to come close to you. You
get it after you have a score of at least 14000 in the PKMN report.
b) Pester Ball - Press the B button to throw a Pester Ball. It releases
some kind of gas that bothers some Pokémon. Usually, it makes them...
faint. It's also used to get Pokémon out of hidden places. You get it
after you have a certain amount of points.
c) Pokémon Flute - Press C-down to play the Pokémon Flute. It has
different effects for different Pokémon. Usually, it makes them look
at you and dance. It also wakes up Snorlax and make Pikachu do a
thundershock. You get it after you take a picture of a Pokémon Sign.
d) Accelerator - Press the R button to speed up the Zero-One. This is
useful for getting close to Pokémon and speeding through levels to
get to a place. You get it after finishing the 6 basic courses.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< SCORING >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
At the end of each course, you will pick one picture of each Pokémon
that you will show to Oak. He's very picky when he grades you pictures.
He judges them by 5 categories:
Special - Some pictures are special pictures that Oak gives a name to.
Examples: "Surfing Pikachu", "Pikachu on a Stump", "Graveler's Group
Dance", "Rare Pokémon Mew", ect...
Size - The bigger the Pokémon, the higher your score will be. But don't
make it TOO big so that it goes out of the screen, that would reduce
your score. 1000 is the best score you can get for size.
Pose - Professor Oak won't like it if you take a picture of a Pokémon
doing nothing at all. Try to make it do something special. Items work
well to get you a higher score for pose. Never take a picture of a
Pokémon from behind. Oak really hates that.
Technique - You get a score for technique if the Pokémon is in the
center of the frame. If he's in the center, your score is doubled! You
don't get a score for technique if it's not in the center.
Same PKMN - If you get more than one of the same Pokémon in the picture,
Oak gives you a small bonus depending on how big or how many extra
Pokémon there are. This is usually a very small bonus and it's not
included in the "2x" for technique.

| 2) THE POKEMON |
'----------------------------------------------------------------------'
Before we begin, here's some terms to remember:
SNAP - Take a picture of a Pokémon; Click the shutter
SHOT - A picture of a Pokémon
FRAME - The size of the picture; The screen
CLOSE-UP - A shot where the Pokémon takes up most of the frame
ITEM - Either an apple or a Pester Ball
Instead of doing a traditional walkthrough, I made this section...it
just works better with Pokémon Snap. This section covers everything
about the individual Pokémon...like their location, description, and how
to get the best shot. DO NOT e-mail me saying you got a better score
than me. But please DO e-mail me if you found a better strategy for
getting a picture.
[NOTE: The "pefect" scores are according to Nintendo of America. See the
high scores section of this FAQ for more information.]
#001 - BULBASAUR
Where: River, Cave
My record: 4900
Perfect score: 5380
Description: Some sort of reptile-dinosaur Pokémon with a bulb on it's
back. I didn't realize how cute he was until I saw him in this game.
Best Shot: Near the beginning of the River, there's a tree stump and a
hollow log at the left. Look above that tree stump, there's something
green there! Throw a Pester Ball at it to knock the Bulbasaur down to
the right. Then throw a few apples to the area beside the entrance to
the hollow log. Another Bulbasaur will come out. Take a great close-up
picture of the Bulbasaur eating the apples and try to get the other
Bulbasaur in the background for some extra points. Make sure the
Bulbasaur is eating the apples, Oak loves that. "He looks happy!".
#004 - CHARMANDER
Where: Volcano
My record: 4970
Perfect score: 5730
Description: An orange dinosaur with a flame at the top of its tail. It
looks very cute when they gather in a group and dance.
Best shot: When you get to the big Moltres egg in the Volcano course,
don't hit it with an object. Just let it stop the Zero-One. Now look to
the left and you'll see a few Charmanders. Throw apples at them...and
they'll call their other Charmander friends to come join in. There's a
total of six Charmanders! You can have up to SIX Charmanders right in
front of you! When they're all in place and fit on the screen, play the
Pokéflute to make them dance. Cute! This is one of my favorite shots :)
#005 - CHARMELEON
Where: Volcano
My record: 4120
Perfect score: 4400
Description: The evolved form of Charmander. He's has a dark red color,
bigger eyes, and looks meaner than Charmander.
Best shot: At the very end of the stage, you'll see a Charmeleon going
around a pool of lava. There's no cool tricks here. Just wait until it
gets close enough to you, and take your best shot. Make sure he
completely fits in the frame! If you throw an apple in front of him, he
might stop and roar into the air. A picture of him roaring gets you 1200
points for pose.
