Ever wanted to explore and learn about Pokemon in a 3D world and without capturing them? Pokemon Snap is what you should get then...take pictures of your favorite pokemon like Pikachu, Sandshrew, and Snorlax! Pokemon Snap is just one of many games scheduled for the Nintendo 64 video game system. Yes, its for the 64 Disk Drive, and it looks to be a very strange game. Then again, looks can be deceiving.

You're just your regular old self (not a life form who can change into different animals), just a person, with a group of vehicles which are used to explore the worlds of Pokemon--bringing only your camera, a short food supply, and nothing else (now why didn't you come prepared?).

 

Just....don't get eaten. Does any of this sound strange? Well, it probably all does. Although a rare goal for a game, Pokemon Snap is to snap pretty pictures of the creatures in the world of Pokémon. You control your character with the analog control stick, and you go point to any direction you desire. You can also zoom in to get a clearer view of things. Just as a real photographer, you must take good pictures of anything interesting. But don't think its that easy. The monsters aren't just there. You have to lure them by using strategy. If a monster likes a certain type of food, you have to place it there, and wait for the monster to come out. If a monster likes a certain tune, you'll have to play that tune with some kind of instrument and make the monster dance. And if you want to startle a monster to take a picture of it, you'll have to throw a stone to make it come out.

 

I know, I know! It sounds very strange, but considering the available comics, firgurines, games, cards, the tv series, shirts, stickers, posters, I can go on forever but why(?), anything that has to do with Pokémon can not be called odd. Pocket Monsters probably has 1 of any product in Japan...literally. So, you shouldn't criticize the game. Instead, you should try it out, and you'll be face to face with 151 pokémon! So, how are the graphics you ask? Well, its on the 64DD, which means the graphics should be incredibly great looking. As for the game itself, its worth a try, so check it out.

Rainbow Cloud
To get here you need a 6 signs. When you on Rainbow Cloud you will see mew in a force field. To brake the field you need to hit him with apples and pester balls. Then snap away.
