Photos can be saved, touched up and edited on the Nintendo Switch – and printed off, if you have a compatible smartphone printer such as the Instax Mini. Photograph: Nintendo The first tip is to use Wi-Fi whenever possible. Most public places like cafes, parks and malls offer free Wi-Fi access these days so make sure to take advantage of it. This way, you can save your mobile data for more important things like sending messages or making calls. Wild, player-owned, and NPC-Trainer-owned Pokémon, but not statues, can be photographed. If a Pokémon is Shiny, taking a photo of it will create a Shiny Pokémon photo.

Its release was promoted heavily by Nintendo, including being featured in more than 86,000 hotels, and a contest to send the winner to Australia. By the end of 1999, Pokémon Snap sold 1.5 million copies, and was a strong rental title in 1999 after its release. It was met with a mostly positive reception by critics, described as "addictive" by IGN and Boys' Life, and "innovative" by Electric Playground. It has also been compared to other video games with photography, such as Afrika, Dead Rising, and Beyond Good & Evil. It has also been used as a notable example of video games with photography.

In this view, the map stays centered on the player's immediate area. The player's location is marked by a smiley face icon, with an arrow indicating the direction the player is facing. If the player is inside a building or certain locations (such as Ten Carat Hill), however, the map will remain stationary no matter where the player moves and will not display a directional arrow. During the main story, a red flag may also appear, indicating a place the player is supposed to go.

After going through the Trainers' School, the player, along with Hau and Lillie, travel to Hau'oli City. There, Rotom Dex is brought to the Alola Tourist Bureau by the player and Hau, to get the Pokédex upgraded. This upgrade provides Rotom Dex with a new camera, the Poké Finder, in which the player can use it to take pictures of wild Pokémon, and later, be used within Acerola's trial in the Thrifty Megamart. Rotom then comes out of the player's bag and takes a picture of the player, Hau and Lillie as a group with the new function. After Dexio and Sina introduce the player to the Zygarde Cube in Heahea City, Rotom will be called by either Dexio S or Sina M when a certain amount of Zygarde Cells or Cores are collected. In Malie City, the player meets up with Samson Oak, whom Rotom recognizes. Samson encourages the player to work on their Pokédex, for both the player's sake and Rotom's. According to Samson, the Rotom Pokédex was helped invented by a young fellow from the Kalos region. Snow, Jean (2008-07-01). "Review: Sea Life Safari is Short, Wet | GameLife". Wired.

The game is divided into courses (seven in all), but you do not simply reach the end of one course and proceed to the next. Professor Oak will require a certain number of Pokémon to be photographed, or for you to have achieved a minimum score, before you can get past certain points. Scoring of your photography is done by Professor Oak himself following completion of a course when you hand over any snaps you want him to take a look at. Compton, Shanna (2004).
