Lots of New Pokemon Snap Details and Footage Emerge

Game Informer has released a ton of details for New Pokemon Snap today that help give us a better idea of what we will be getting when the game releases April 30, 2021. In Game Informer’s video, they show off new areas, Pokemon, and other details.

Check out the Game Informer Gameplay video:

If you are in a position that does not allow you to watch the video, well I have good news for you! Game Informer also wrote a piece about the new details, and you can read it here.

We will also make it easy for you by pointing out all the significant details from the article and video:

• A new area shown off is Blushing Beach, one of the tropical locales in the game.
• Players can choose to enter the area in either day or night, and different things happen depending on the time of day.
• Blushing Beach features at least Exeggutor, Crabrawler, Pikachu, Lapras, Vivillon, Wingull, Machamp, Pyukumuku, Corsola, Finneon, and Stunfisk during the daytime.
• An Exeggutor will sit in the way, bringing the NEO-ONE pod to a stop, and you can lure the Exeggutor away to continue forward.
• Using the Melody tool, you can lure two dancing Bellossom out of the bushes in this area.
• Certain encounters will give you a little extra time to figure out how to optimize your photo opportunities, like multiple Pokemon, rare Pokemon, or action chances.
• After completing each stage, you sort through the pictures you snapped, and you choose the ones you want to share with Professor Mirror.
• Each photo is given a star rating of up to four stars based on certain parameters.
• Your Photodex can hold one photo of each Pokemon at each rating.
• Once you present your favorite shots to the professor, he will score your photos based on pose, size, direction, placement, other Pokemon in the shot, and what the background looks like. Then you have the option to replace the current picture in the Photodex with a newer one, if you so choose.
• You can “re-snap” your photos by adjusting the zoom; tweaking the brightness, blur, focal size, and focal point; adding a filter; and even changing the caption.
• Professor Mirror will only grade your raw photos, and thus, you can only save the originals to your Photodex, but you can still save the re-snapped photos to your in-game album and share them.
• Based on the photos you provide to the professor, you gain Expedition Points, and these points boost your Research Level for the stage you just played.
• Once you gain a certain amount of experience, you unlock new stages for that area and time of day.
• The Pokemon you spot after the sun sets are often different from the ones you see running, flying, and swimming during the day.
• Pokemon at night in Blushing Beach include Drifblim, Zangoose, Seviper, Magikarp, Octillery, Bellossom, Zangoose, Mareanie, Sandygast, and Alolan Raichu.
• The nighttime path is the same as the one from the day, but the opportunities are vastly different, like Magikarp being asleep on the rock where the Pyukumuku was during the day.
• The Illumina Orb is a special item that can cause Pokemon to glow and perform unique actions.
• At sea, an icon pops up in between some of the protruding rocks that lets you go along a different path through the stage if scanned.

New Pokemon Snap is really shaping up to be the remake we have all been begging for. New Pokemon Snap releases on April 30, 2021.
