So I love the old snap but don't play the mainline games, can I get through this one without encyclopedic Pokémon knowledge?
Absolutely, my wife has only played some Pokemon Go on her phone and is really enjoying the game!
Oh really? I wonder why they did that?
Well, I guess it's good to know I'm not just missing how to trigger them. That's kind of a bummer though.
Cool I'm literally only played two gyms of blue or red back in the day but got everything in snap.
Loving this so far, just did my first run of the beach area. After a bunch of play time I just went to the options and changed to type 2 to put photo taking on R which makes it feel so much better and more natural!
I do miss evolutions and there seems to be a lot less fighting among Pokemon, but the sheer variety and bigger scope of the game more than makes up for it. The gen 1 picks also seem to have a fair bit of overlap with Pokemon that were in the original Snap which is an odd choice.

Fighting definitely occurs on the later levels of stages. There are some pretty solid fights in this, haha.
A lot of the gen 1 picks are used as homages to the original. That's one of them for sure.
This was worth the 20+ year wait. It's quite good. I don't find the interactive stuff that obtuse, it usually makes sense and a lot of the times nothing seemed to work, it was because I didn't have the thing I needed yet.
It is a little weird they toned down Pokemon fighting in this game. Pokemon could straight up knock out others in the original, but here I generally maybe see some Pokemon chase others.

I've seen two pretty good fights in the first level alone tonight. You gotta work to get them but they happen.
Yeah it was definitely for no reason, but it's how I function so it's why I didn't like it * shrug* I just prefer the shorter version, I think I have less patience these days and the repeating courses didn't do much for me
Tbh, there's nothing wrong at all with preferring a shorter, tighter experience. Some of the best games just work better that way, like Star Fox 64, and unfortunately the modern industry just makes it impossible to have top-of-the-line budget games like that anymore. The original Snap will forever be a classic and it's short length is part of its perfection, in a way.
Why do the pictures look so horrible when you're choosing which ones to show to the professor? They're super blurry and pixelated.
It's weird because they look fine when they're being graded, they only look bad when you're choosing them.
Minor complaint but it's a little annoying.

Uhh were the flufffruits supposed to sink through the sand the first time in the desert level because when I replayed the level that suddenly stopped happening.
I only have one friend on my ranking list and it's just a Switch friend, I assume they may have to log into the Online section to register a Snap profile?
Huh, maybe. Not sure if he did that yet, but kind of a weird system.
Man getting back to the professor and he's like "This is just a one star pose" when you're sure you shot a dope-ass shot is dispiriting
Also sometimes you get the photos back and you're like "I have no idea what's going on in this picture, but I guess it's a two star shot, so whatever"

Maybe I'm missing something but even at night it seems like most of them just light up and that's it. If there happens to be a Pokémon nearby they might glow as if I hit them directly with an orb.
The stars don't have anything to do with quality, each one is just a unique action. So for a given Pokémon it might be something like 1 star is just them standing around, 2 stars is dancing to the flute, 3 is eating, and 4 is performing an attack. And then for each of those you can get scores that range from bronze to diamond or whatever. But just because you get one or two stars doesn't mean it's a bad pic.
i mean more like they're doing a unique action. LIke I got a shot of a shrimp firing his water pressure laser and the professor is like 'calm shot, nice'
sometimes the target finder just sucks too. Had a wailord with its mouth open yawning and the camera is like 'no subject'. what the fuck, camera

I have no idea how Clawitzer's shooting animation only registers as a single star—that really caught me off guard too! And like you said in your other post, sometimes you're thumbing through what you took and you'll find completely normal photos are marked as a two-star animation. It kinda bums me out, because I might actually work to get a particular shot/anim, and I'll find out it's as good as this completely mundane and rather shoddy looking other shot.
On this note, apparently Wailord yawning is just a 1-star as well, lol.
This game is way, way, way better than I expected it to be, and I'm a tremendous fan of the N64 game. It captures the spirit of the original so well and really makes the Pokémon feel wild and alive.
Stickers are such a game changer, btw. I can add a narrative to a totally innocuous picture and it's hilarious.

Presented to the professor. I do wish that they flagged ones that fulfilled conditions for a request
I'm sad with how the photo save works, with such a small limit of 48 (before saving onto sd card). I replaced a bunch of better ranking photos in my dex, but since I didn't initially save them, I guess I lost them for good :/
That, and the fact that you can only pick one PER Pokemon, despite how many different rank types you have, are my only main gripes with this game :x

About to be a 5th time I'm playing the first level and they want random requests
what a let down so far, really disappointing

yup. should be a button press. pretty sure it's X when you are selecting the stage.
Oh nice, I'll have to check it out next time I play. Wanted to go wake up the Slaking with the music box, but that was a past iteration of the stage.
You probably just didn't take enough pictures to level up the area or something. I've been playing for awhile and haven't bothered with the requests at all, they're optional.
Had to get to level 2 for day and night to open up and get Todd the god
Now onto the next level
it gets a lot more free once you're past the hump. i was unlocking shit every run for a while there.
Where is the flower thing to unlock the last part of the water levels? I've done them all multiple times, they don't seem to have night versions, I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do next.
The only lead I have Is the "blue hole," I'm thinking it may be dark enough down there for one of the plants to be lit up? I may be completely off base there though...

It's before the blue hole in a part where there's a lot of vegetation on both sides of the path. You have to do something to be able to take a photo of it.
Haha, I adore MurkrowMan, this game is endearing me to so many Pokemon I never knew I loved. Look at these guys. They're fantastic.
They're so done with my shit and all I've done is throw a single apple at them. I haven't even started blasting my ice cream truck jingle yet.
I really need more photo filters and I want to apply multiple filters at once, only being able use one is kinda lame. I wanna perfect my photo's.
That said, I'm really loving this so far. It's so relaxing , I really hope they'll bring expansions to this game because it's just nice to spend time in it.

i also like it because while I'm kind of up to date with Pokemon it's also like sometimes I'm just all "what the fuck is that?" cos I don't have encyclopedic knowledge beyond the first two gens or so
This doesn't have an Sw/Sh exclusive pokemon in it does it? I see a bunch of Sun/Mooners but I don't recall any british pokemans

Grookey is right at the start of the first level, lol. There's some here and there, but not any overbalance of them. Maybe even underbalanced?
There's certainly less SwSh mons than the other gens, but I've noticed a few that aren't the starters! The one's I've seen are
Applin
Frosmoth
Silicobra
Eldegoss
