New Pokémon Snap - Release Date, Price, Pokemon, And More

New Pokémon Snap is allowing players of all ages to live their dreams of snapping Pokémon in the wild. As a Pokémon photographer, this first-person game will allow you to track down creatures of all shapes, sizes, and types, and get the perfect shot of the loveable pocket monster. Players travel using an "on-rails hovercraft" and research Pokémon by photographing them and building your Photodex.

Acting as a sequel to the N64 Pokémon Snap of 1999, New Pokémon Snap is releasing for Nintendo Switch only.

Are shiny Pokémon in New Pokémon Snap?

Shiny Pokémon have not been confirmed by Nintendo, however, an event in Pokémon GO to celebrate the release does feature shiny Pokémon, said to be featured in New Pokémon Snap.

Shiny Pokémon such as Aipom and Lotad will spawn in Pokémon GO, meaning that if this celebration is anything to go by, you'll be snapping shinies in the wild in New Pokémon Snap.

Part of the storyline in New Pokémon Snap includes investigating the "Illumina phenomenon", where Pokémon and plants appear to have a special glow. Sounds familiar...
