Pokémon Snap

Why does this game exist?

loved it as a kid. still do but theres not enough maps and pokemon and shit. and going after map high scores isnt enticing. they coulda made amazing sequels especially now

It's taking pics. Good for what it was and you can also print them.

Tried it and found 0 fun in it…

Great idea, but becomes repetitive quickly.

Aside from the gameboy titles, this was the most unique and enjoyable of the franchise. Calm, quiet, quirky, and beautiful to look at. The replay value may diminish after a few playthroughs, but a long enough wait will make this photo game just as enjoyable as it was nearly 20 years ago.

There needs to be more games like this, pokemon weren't meant to fight they were meant to be photographed haha. I don't know what it is about this game but I never fail to spend an afternoon chasing highscores if i is put in front of me.

This is, at best, a platform to establish a good engine and make a better sequel. That sequel never came so it shows just how bad this was.

I actually really liked this concept but I felt it was far too limited. You're on a track so you have little freedom. The pokemon you get aren't diverse enough to make it more immersive. I think it you had a game of Pokemon where this was part of the game but not all of it (maybe to make money or win some pokemon) would make it better.

It wasn't the 3D Pokemon game everyone wanted in the 90s, but it was still fun in its own right. It's a rail shooter, except you're shooting pictures. I don't think a sequel would have gone amiss, if it just expanded on the game a little more, not being so short.
