'Pokemon Snap': Is Evolution Still Possible?

According to The Gamer, no, it is not possible to evolve Pokemon in 2021's "Pokemon Snap" compared to the 1999 version of the game that allows evolution without experience and only using the things around. Before the 2021 version, users can only throw or known a Charmeleon into a lava pit, and it would emerge as a Charizard.

While this may be a photo-perfect scene and could elevate the images taken from the experience, it goes against Pokemon's lore and principles of basic evolution and change in forms. In the manga, anime, and battle games, different Pokemons evolve by experience in battle and with its trainer, Pokemon stones (moon, leaf, etc.), or via their choices (anime and manga).

Different versions of the Pokemon game have different methods of evolution, but it all boils down to experience and using evolution-amping objects such as stones or candies ("Pokemon GO"). This seems to be a logical take from BANDAI Namco's New "Pokemon Snap" which takes on a modern approach for the old photo game.

Without evolution, the world of Pokemon is at a halt as the different versions or tiers of a creature cannot achieve their maximum potential and form. However, this is not a problem for "Pokemon Snap," especially as it would still bring the evolved form of Pokemon (e.g. Wartortle and Blastoise, Ivysaur and Venusaur), to be lurking around the map.

A lot has changed for "Pokemon Snap" and this route is for the better, as it respects the storyline and processes in the current Pokemon lore that is being observed across games and the media. What is commendable now is that the fans of the game and enjoy a battle-free Pokemon experience, with a graphics display that fits this era.
