The April 30 is a date marked on the calendar to fire many players possessing a Nintendo Switch . And it is that that day New Pokémon Snap lands , the game that mixes the world of pocket monsters with photography and that strikes at the center of the nostalgia of all those who had a great time with the original Pokémon Snap that saw the light on Nintendo 64 back in 2000 (in North America and Japan it did in 1999).
But, what is it that makes New Pokémon Snap so exciting, not only to those of us who played the first Pokémon Snap, but also to fans of the saga in general ? That is what we are going to unravel in the next article.
The depth into the habitat of the Pokémon that fans of the saga love
One of the main attractions of New Pokémon Snap for fans of the saga is that they will be able to experience the habitat of these creatures like never before . It is a much more relaxed scenario, where Pokémon roam freely for their livelihood and interact with each other.
In fact, in several images that we have already been able to contemplate, we can see such curious situations as a Heracross and a Pinsir fighting for the territory or a Flygon protecting a pair of Trapinch while they sleep.
We will see them feed and function like we have never done before (except on rare occasions in anime), which creates a unique and conducive scenario to take great snapshots.
And the motivations for taking these unique captures are not few, since it is not only based on completing the Fotodéx, but we will also collaborate with Professor Espejo and his assistant to unravel the Lúmini phenomenon that takes place in the Lensis region . And all this without counting on the beauty of the prints that we can boast of.
Nostalgia outright for those who enjoyed Pokémon Snap on Nintendo 64
Another of the great attractions of New Pokémon Snap is its direct effect on the nostalgia of many players . Many of us remember the first day we tested Pokémon Snap on Nintendo 64: strange sensations at the beginning, due to the format of the game, but incredible results in the form of a beautiful, fun and very attractive video game … You couldn’t stop playing!
Time has passed and the beauty of New Pokémon Snap, from what we have seen so far, is incredible and shocking. In fact, there are not a few fans who would like to see the games of the main Pokémon saga with this type of graphics : beautiful and vivid, inviting recreation and enjoyment of the fantasy world in which it unfolds.
Rivers, forests, deserts, meadows … the variety of scenarios that we will find will surpass that of the original Pokémon Snap. In fact, the number of Pokémon that we can photograph will also be greater, since we will have a not inconsiderable amount of 200 creatures compared to the 63 that the original Pokémon Snap contained.
Your ability to open up to new players
The charm of New Pokémon Snap also lies in that ability it will have to attract new players to the environment of the saga. Its simpler and more relaxed mechanics, designed to make the player enjoy their environment and their artistic abilities to take the best possible photograph, make it an ideal exponent for users who may feel somewhat overwhelmed by the titles of the series main, but they are attracted to the Pokémon environment.
But this simplicity is only an appearance, since we can play with the depth of the title and the different options it offers us based on its conditions, the time of day and the different situations, which will allow us to capture a series of different Pokémon in every moment.
There is less left to enjoy this title that promises to strike a chord with all types of players: Pokémon fans, those who loved Pokémon Snap on Nintendo 64 and those who want to approach the world of pocket monsters from a more relaxed perspective and artistic.
