 The game Pokemon Snap is one of the many Pokemon spin-off games that came out on the Nintendo 64, and it's one of the handful based specifically on the anime. Combining the concept of a photography game with a rail shooter, you drive through several locales on Pokemon Island, find Pokemon in their natural habitat going about their pre-programmed lives, harass them with objects and noise, and take pictures of the results for points and science. It's a quick and simple game, but it garnered enough affection from players that we're still clamoring for a sequel decades later. The story is such: You are The LP: This will be a 100% LP: every Pokemon snapped, though I may not go for the best possible score because that often doesn't matter. I'll also try to show off as many special, secret Pokemon photos you can get, like all the random crap Pikachu gets up to. Updates are on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday for two weeks. JigglyJacob joins me as co-commentator while our friend Mugiwara Yoshi is in the middle of moving. The footage is recorded from a modded N64 that outputs an RGB signal through SCART, which bypasses the N64's built-in blurring and can be upscaled to HD. It may not look as good or run as smoothly as a ROM, but at least all of the graphics are still there. ----------------------------       ---------------------------- Fanart (By GreenGuy)

Man, this game was my childhood, it was so good. Everything about it is just so well done, and it's a great way to get a rail shooter to work with Pokémon.

Oh, right in my childhood. I'm pretty sure I spent hours playing this game trying to figure out how to get every special shot. And that Meowth got what it deserved!

Oh boy, Snap. I didn't play this as a child because i thought it was really dumb idea. I played it as an adult instead and it was just more proof of how dumb a kid I was, because this game is great and the franchise is worse for never making a sequel. I love just how stupidly aggresive you can get, and how much Oak seems to enjoy the violence. It truly is a Pokemon game in that way, but with all the advantages of not being turn based and actually showing results!

Good that we're establishing Snapchat as a sociopath from the start.

Oh man, I played the hell out of this game when I was growing up. My sisters and I filled out the album, and even made little captions for them. I'm still one of those clamoring for a sequel.

As a kid, my brother told me that if you beat the challenge scores on all the stages you unlock the rest of the 151 original Pokemon. I believed him for a few years and it broke my heart when I found out that he was lying and I actually had completed the game 100% just like I thought.

Yeah the nineties is when they really started to crack down on violence in schools so the only form of asserting dominance we had then was loving with each other over video game secrets.

That Charizard score was just unfair. That photo deserved more. Also I didn't know about the Charmander swarm. I've learned something new.

One day, I revisited this game and went for a grand total score of 250k or more. Staryu made me hate life but I got there eventually. You can really get some fun shots in this game. I know I'm begging for a sequel. You got some pretty good ones, too. I had no idea the Vulpix could walk out that far.

You can actually coax the first Vulpix into meeting the other two by throwing a path of food onto the track to them though you'll want to do this as early as possible not screw yourself over. I try to do this so I can keep a photo of them in the album named "The Three Caballeros".

Snap was a nice, quirky side game for Pokemon that tried something a little different. I think the rail shooter/photography combination worked decently well, and I enjoy the different mechanics they introduce overtime as you progress. I just wished they'd included Ekans here. 1 Pokemon away from 64. They already had it, just use it!

God, the Charmander Swarm is great. You feed them, and they call to their buddies like "OI LADS! THERE'S FOOD OVER 'ERE!" Then when they run out they start yelling at you to throw more. It's adorable.

Put me in the crowd of "this game should have gotten a sequel" people. It's a crime they didn't make one for the WiiU because that console was practically designed for games where you do stuff with a camera. Porygon was one heck of a weird choice to show up in this game, let alone this level. An island where pokémon live in their natural habitats,? Here's a man-made pokémon made from computer code chilling out in the jungle!

Yeah, but they missed out on the opportunity to do stuff like having you driving the car-thing around on the TV while taking photos using the gamepad as a viewfinder. It could have even been co-op with the driver using a Wiimote.

Is this the only Pokemon game where they show the Slowpoke-evolving-with-Shellder thing other than just in pokedex flavour text?

As far as I know yeah and much like with leading Vulpix to its buddies, you want to lead Slowpoke to its fishing as early as possible if you want a good shot.

Commander Keene posted:It's like the save option on computer programs being a floppy disk. It's been a while since I've seen a floppy, let alone had to actually use one. Kids born since the turn of the millennium would probably be as confused seeing a floppy disk or camera film as they would be seeing a vinyl record, cassette tape, or VHS tape. I was cleaning out my house and remembered that the box I stick old ink carts in is a case designed to hold floppies. I started feeling real old, real fast. E: ironically, an ancient pair of film cameras from when I was a kid popped up too. Can you even find film rolls any more?
