It's really weird how there's a few awkward pauses too, when it's totalling up your XP and assesses your course ranking. Really unnecessarily painful.

This is another nitpick but I really wish there was a bonus for capturing multiple Pokémon of the same species. I've taken pictures of schools of Mantine that look awesome but they're not worth a lot of points since they're taken at a distance, or because there isn't one that's perfectly centered. I had the same issue with the little mushroom things in the jungle level.
For some reason I can never get a good shot of 1 Star Arbok and Metapod (2nd stage, daytime). Even when everything seems perfect it scores lower than 4000. I guess I'll move on and see if I can get better pictures after I unlock the Illumina Orbs.
It's making me appreciate them more by seeing them walking, running, swimming, flying in their natural environment. Something that the main series never captured. It feels wonderful seeing them how they are suppose to move and express themselves. I like how the ducklett's and swimming next to momma swanna and Bidoof carrying logs for the beaver-dam.
Bounsweet is another example. In the mainline games it's "just another Grass Pokémon," but here in Snap, it gets into all sorts of mischief -- becoming entangled in Ariados' web, waking Swampert with its buddy Leafeon, getting lulled to sleep by Morelull, even tumbling out of a tree hole where a Pikipek tried to stash it, lol.
I did it with a photograph of the Frillish as well. Couldn't find the Crystabloom at all!
It's why I'm shocked it took so long for a new Snap. It's the best game for bringing the pokemon to life and showing the personality of some unappreciated pokemon. Which in turn can lead to merchandise. I never would have wanted a skorupi plush before this game, for example.
They have a variety of badass poses too. You see them run on all four legs, growl at the camera, etc. They appear to be guardians of an important place...
I don't remember, but I (finally) got access to to the pink Illumina Orbs after finding and taking a picture of that Illuminated Frillish.
But wow at all those pictures. The game looks really good!
Yeah, it really does. There's a lot of great animations and the environments look awesome. There's a few annoying quirks, for example Pokemon in the distance often update their animations at a lower rate than stuff up close, which has always been a personal pet peeve for me. And the distance really isn't all that far, I've often taken pictures of Pokemon that are awkwardly jerking around in the distance.
There's also some pretty ridiculous framerate drops during certain scenes. It's almost funny how much it drops when
Wailord
But overall the game looks great. Honestly kind of makes me question how much I need the rumored Pro model. Although if this game gets a patch I'd love to replay it in 4K.
I'm enjoying this game a lot, but not a lot of my friends are playing it! PM if you want more Snap friends!
I also just realized that I lost the SD holder thing for the MicroSD so I haven't been able to upload any pictures. :(

Chicken or the egg question:
Do different stages reuse Pokémon from other stages because of the 4* system (requiring each to be in at least 4 different contexts), or did they implement the 4* system because they reused a bunch of Pokémon across levels?

You can directly connect your Switch to a PC with a USB cable. You don't even need to close the game or turn the Switch off or anything else!
Just go to the system settings, it should be there somewhere under "data management" -> "manage screenshots" section.
Man, all of the "boss" levels have been cool so far, but the ocean one is really, really cool.
The sense of scale in this game is incredible at times. It's so cool seeing Pokemon like Waillord and Onix at their actual intended sizes.
All their behaviors are fun too. I really want a cross between this and traditional Pokemon. Imagine if you had to do stuff like stop a rolling Sandshrew or knock an Arbok out of tree before you fight and catch them in a mainline Pokemon. I can't imagine how lifeless the Wild Area feels if you go back to it after playing a ton of Snap.
There's Pokemon that are exclusive to certain levels so there doesn't seem to be any correlation at all.

Holy crap!I stitched some shots together of one of my favorite moments so far
I really don't understand how anything in this game can be considered grinding. Getting enough points to progress is pretty easy if you just want to see the credits. Increasing ranks for individual areas can be difficult but the scoring for it works by taking different types of pictures, meaning you won't get anywhere by taking the same shots each time, which isn't grinding in any real sense
Do requests have a cap? For example, something like you can only hold 50 or 100? Also can they disappear if you ignore them and let them build up for too long?
Enjoying the game. The reef level was pure magic for me. I legitimately felt like I could smell the sea! I didn't think I could still experience that kind of immersion from pokemon.

I haven't felt the grind either, because I keep going back to the same spots on my own. There's so much I miss, and I'm always trying to make up for past crappy photos that I took before, to improve on. But like you said, it depends how deep you want to get into this, and if you are just trying to rush through at bare minimum.
Me and my Wife grinded it to level three. THAT was a nightmare.
Wasn't expecting to love this as much as I do. I also wasn't expecting to play 15 hours of it over the weekend, but here we are.
I don't have much faith in it happening but I would really love some DLC, maybe something Sinnoh related for either of the upcoming releases.

Is there a a way i can re-snap, when the pictures are in my album already? Only time i see the feature is after the professor grades them. That would suck if that's the only option, i sometimes like to go back and edit effects but re-snap gives you more things to play with.
No, I think you can only do it right after the grading. And it makes sense, otherwise it would be keeping a much larger image in memory.
Oh that's horrible, hope it gets added through a update, or even some of the effects to come over to the regular editing effects.
Anihawk was extremely kind and gifted me a copy of the game! I spent the afternoon snapping pictures with my mom and we both had a blast. Thank you so much!
Interestingly enough, I never played the original because I didn't have a N64 so it feels nice to finally catch up on such an important series.

My personal theory it's that perhaps evolving Pokémon without a Trainer or a Battle messes up the Cannon(?) TPC has been stablishing in more recent years.
She's actually one of my faves, lol. I was surprise she made it in, tbh.
And they even go as far as to stablish the rumored "Fat Lady Opera" thing that fans had theorized for decades.
Absolutely adore how some of these alternate paths are entirely different levels. The game really overdelivers in this department.
5th level unlocked and the pace is improving but still feels slow
If you don't get to level 2 on each level you'll have to repeat it but unlocking two levels after the jungle level made repeating ok

Hey guys
I'm trying to find the last of the Vivillon forms. I'm looking for these patterns
Elegant
Modern
Savanna
Sun
If you've found them can you let me know? That and the Pumpkaboo forms are the only things keeping my section from being complete for species. Then I have to focus on interactions
