We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Yeah it's vague. There's in the field near the lake two sets, one which is scared by a Dodrio and one set scared by Pigeot. I guess you gotta snap one of those before they're scared?
I'm loving this so much, it's so relaxing. I just wish it had the great background tunes og Snap had
That's how it works in the pokedex for all form pokemon in every other pokemon game. Nindoran male/female is one of the only different gender/forms to have a unique number iirc
How does the online sharing work? I feel like very few get recommended to me, and when I open the internet tab, there are always the same photos, and no way to switch pages, or filter by area, or pokémon, or anything.
I got somewhat lucky with a Scorbunny picture I posted and had like 450 likes in 2 minutes (thrn stopped), but other than that, almost no pics got likes, and I have no idea how that reached people since searching only wields the same bidoof photos.

I'm not sure how to change the trending photos, but you can browse the galleries of other players by checking your Photodex rank and clicking on the names of other players. You can search by your rank, Top 100, friends, etc.
Ok so I knew I would like it, but didn't know that my wife would too. We play Pokémon go together, but she hasn't played snap on 64 or ever wanted to play any other Pokémon games. We played snap for hours handheld. Charged the switch and she couldn't wait to play more. We wake up this morning and she was like guess what I dreamed about? POKÉMON SNAP! The only game she's ever had any interest in playing.
It is in the level with the blue hole though? Vegetation makes me think you mean the third level of that area...
Are you talking about making the shrimp blast away the debris near the beginning of the third level?
Just checked it, but it's still not ideal. You can check friends there more easily, which is great, but the overall ranking is useless. It's based on photo points, not sweet medals, so someone who 100% completed the game but only posted shitty pics has a better score than someone who worked for that sweet sylveon pic in the 1st level.
I thought I was missing something, but it seems the sharing/searching system is actually barebones. Oh well, here's hoping for updates.
Oh yeah, sorry, it's in the third level, underwater.
And it's just after the part you mentioned -- no, you can't make the shrimp blast away the debris yet. As I said, it's the "kelp forest" part just after that.
The daytime courses have lv. 3 variants with even more Pokemon, behaviors, puzzles and sometimes branching paths.
I think they went with stars instead of named categories because there are oftentimes multiple unique behaviors in a star category. I have seen completely different actions that were both three stars, for example.
I wonder how many unique behaviors there are overall. There is a ton of content in this game.
Yeah, that does seem to be the case. But it's frustrating when you want to find a particular category for you Photodex. You're just guessing.
My pics get no likes :(
I wish there was a way to search by Pokémon but I guess once they are edited they lose the tag?
Oops, yeah. But it seems nothing for the first Illuminate area after 2 .
I ended up just looking it up. I'm honestly a little annoyed, I don't know how I was supposed to figure that out. They completely change the process (in every level you have to take a picture of the plant) and the location of the thing you're supposed to capture is really obscure. I had played the level like six times without registering that there would be something important there.
And while looking it up I was spoiled on a ton of stuff because the guide was covered with links like "Where to find *legendary Pokemon*."
Oh well. Still loving the game overall but that objective seems really lame to me.
generally it's
1 star - Pokémon doing it's thing
2 star - Pokémon reacts to something you did
3 star - Pokémon does something cool
4 star - Pokémon does something really cool
Is there a point to maxing out the research level?
Levelling it up to max seems to keep it stuck at level 3.

Hey all, it's your old pal dogbox with another round-up of Most Excellent Snaps! I wanted to do a few of these through the weekend but some family matters and work on next week's OT cut me short. Here we go:
I think I threw too hard 😔
I feel like I'm ten again :')
Here are some of my favorites:
McGonagall vibes:
Obligatory bidoof shot:
Ursa Minioris
I didnt sign up for this!!!
Everlasting Love
I! NEED! SLEEP!!!
I'm having a lot of fun! Figuring out how to get the Pokémon to react is a bit weird sometimes, but when you finally make it work it's really satisfying.
Here's a few more snaps!
Man, 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.
Thanks to everyone submitting their snaps!
Not sure what you mean because there is a plant to take a picture of in that level, maybe you took a picture of the Pokemon sitting on top of it? It's not that obscure if we're talking about the same thing in the kelp.
I'd be way more stoked on this right now if the game's opening stages hadn't taken forever to upgrade their research levels and let me progress. Not that a) I wasn't having fun discovering new Pokes/behaviors and b) I wasn't having a blast editing pictures, but even with the day/night cycles they were getting to be a real chore; heck, I almost fell asleep yesterday morning!
Now the game's opening up and being much more generous in its grinding/progression -- I'm practically swarmed with potential ideas and things to check out, which induces excellent pressure for a rail-based concept such as this-- but while the idea of grinding individual levels has merit, I can't say I care for how it generally left a mixed first impression. Hopefully that'll dissipate soon.

You have to play on specific research levels, I believe. I can think of some behaviors with associated requests that cease to occur on higher levels. You have to be observant of what happens, when and where. Part of the game's puzzle meta.
I definitely didn't see a plant. According to the guide I read you have to
take a picture of the illuminated Frillish that's hiding on a ledge during the part of the level where you go down into a trench.
That worked for me, is there an alternate way of progressing?
TURF WAR
Also feeding the silicobra is tops
This is one of the greatest strengths of pokemon's spinoff media and anime, the spotlight can get shone on so many random pokemon.
The constant tale of tragic skorupi when getting those stars has endeared me to the little bug
No I mean you can't have a 1 Star Photo of Lycanroc Day and a 1 Star Photo of Lycanroc Night.
I know they're not uniquely numbered but I feel in a spin off all about taking pictures too pretty different looking Pokemon shouldn't override each other's photos.
Thanks for including my pic!

The photo dex treats them the same way the poke dex does for better or worse. I imagine the same situation would have happened if pokemon like Rotom or Castform were in this game.
I've finished the game and never had to do that, there's a
Lumineon in the kelp forest before the first level hole that you just have to hit with an apple to get to move and picture the blooming plant under it. Maybe there's another near that Frillish but I really doubt the Frillish itself progressed anything?
Yeah and that's disappointing.
I get it with Minior or Vivillon which just have different colors but these two have their own attitude, poses, and personality.
Feel they should've made them seperate categories for this game. Not like the Photodex is using the official numbering right?
All pokemon games have separate numbering systems for the regional dex and the national dex. The Lental dex numbering has nothing to do with the national dex.
I'm just saying there's no reason they had to adhere to the fact the Lycanroc share a entry in the main series here.
Can you choose a specific research level later on ?
If not I might actually use a guide for the requests...
You can temporarily lower research levels by hitting "X" before selecting the level. It's fun for variety, but I do wish the requests had a "common in research level so and so" tag or something.
Yes, you can replay any research level at any time. Just hit X when choosing a course on the map, it will give you the option, it's there from the start.
Lol, it was definitely the Frillish itself. The professor comments on it. And it's hanging out on an empty ledge. Interesting that there's apparently another way of progressing there.
Edit: I just looked up video of the method you're talking about, I feel pretty silly, I actually woke that Pokémon up multiple times but I guess I just never noticed that the Crystabloom behind it was in bloom.
I still think it's kind of lame, maybe I'm remembering wrong but don't you have to take pictures of all the other ones at night? Why is this one "activated" during the day?

I wish there was an option to skip Mirror's ranking at the end of the course in the postgame. Between that and the loads its not as snappy jumping in and out of levels as it could be.
