New Pokemon Snap: The Difference 22 Years Makes

It’s been 22 long years since we last strapped into the NEO-ONE, but aspiring photographers have finally been given a New Pokemon Snap game. The game with a simple premise of taking pictures of various Pokemon became a beloved fan favorite in the franchise and was given a well-deserved revamp, what with the 22-year difference and hundreds of new Pokemon added. New Pokemon Snap is definitely a comfortably familiar experience, but that doesn’t mean you should expect more of the same. Let’s dive right into the differences that 22 years can make.

First off, New Pokemon Snap has the advantage of being crammed full of Pokemon: When the original dropped, there were only 151 Pokemon, and not all of them appeared in the game. With so many Pokemon now, each stage is so overly packed with a wide variety of Pokemon; players need to play each stage over and over again just to see them all, let alone get 4-star pictures. This is another significant difference: New Pokemon Snap asks players to get four varying levels of quality (1-4 stars) of pictures for each Pokemon, whereas the original only asked you to have one. This adds an extra element of replayability as you try to get more interesting and exciting shots across every stage, but can get tiring at times trying to get a photo for each level of each Pokemon (1-star photos tend to be boring to capture).
