New 'Pokemon Snap' Guide: How to Get High Scores Through Perfect Photography [2021]

The new "Pokemon Snap" video game has opened a lot of opportunities for Pokemon fans as well as for those who highly treasure the art of photography. The previous Pokemon games share a similar course of battling, surviving, and challenging all aspiring players and NPCs across the map.

This type of Pokemon game has a different way to attract more players to play it through capturing the best shots of the Pokemon. What's more challenging in "Pokemon Snap" is how a player can get high scores upon encountering these creatures.

Here are some important things that you should know if you want to ace your photography grades. Watch out for these elements that make photography much more fun.

A Glimpse of What's Inside "Pokemon Snap"

According to the latest report of CNET, "Pokemon Snap" will finally arrive on Friday, Apr. 30 on Nintendo Switch. Players have been requesting this kind of game for a long time, but it seems that at the time, it is not yet the priority for the Pokemon franchise.

It took more than a decade of waiting for this game to come out of it shell, and yet its fundamentals have not changed that much. The usual feature will still be maintained. Your player will ride in a capsule machine.

Like the previous Pokemon installments, this one gives off some vibes of the Safari Zone. You are free to throw fruit to a Pokemon. You can also take pictures of them while traveling so you have something to show the Professor.

This sequel is also compared to "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" when it comes to being a "light game." Over the past year, the game has become a massive, top-selling game that recorded more than 30 million copies sold worldwide.

Of course, this game would also give you a different kind of thrill. Professor Mirror will be evaluating your pictures via Photodex. He will give you a corresponding point based on some factors about your photography to the subject.

There is a four-star scale where players will use to categorize their shots.

For instance, an idle Bulbasaur is only one star, while an Ivysaur doing vine whip is considered three stars. For a perfect four-star rating, you could potentially spot a Venusaur playing with a Sceptile.

This means that every action has various star rankings, that's why you are enabled to use any tools like a scanner, music box to prompt other actions of the Pokemon from a different angle.

'Pokemon Snap': How to Get High Scores in Photography

GamePur reported that the following areas are the ones that you should take note to maximize the points that you will receive:

• Placement

• Size

• Direction

• Pose

• Background

• Other Pokemon

Among these areas, pose is the most unstable since it will entirely depend on what the Pokemon is doing. The direction meanwhile will tell you what position the Pokemon is facing. You can adjust your camera to notch a better rating for your photography.

On the other hand, size refers to the space that the photo occupies. Regardless of Pokemon's sizes ranging from Wailord to the tiniest creatures like Flabebe and Cutiefly, the mechanics will rely on your zooming techniques in the game.

The placement is self-explanatory since it tells you the exact position of the Pokemon in the picture. Always go to the center to get the highest possible score.

For the background, think of it as a backdrop that is engaging and far-reaching to the audience. Lastly, the participation of other pokemon will help you acquire a decent grade.

You can craft your own ways and define "good photography" by yourself since not all high-scoring photos are beautiful. Some appear inferior and they work as planned just for the sake of points.
