I've heard of it, but I can't remember what it was, is it a new game(UNITE, relatively new), or a phone game(GO), or a 3ds game, I just don't know. I feel like it would be fun to play, could someone explain the concept, and tell me what it's on? Thanks so much!

The sources I use have spoilers in them.

Pokemon Snap is a 1999 Nintendo 64 game developed by HAL (the same guys that made Kirby). It's a game where you help Professor Oak by going around an island, taking pictures of Pokemon.

The sequel, New Pokemon Snap, was released on the Nintendo Switch on April 30. The game's purpose is fairly similar to the original; take photos of Pokemon in their natural habitat. There is a new mechanic called Illumina Pokemon, where some Pokemon glow. However, there are only 6 of them.

Dang it, I don't have a switch. And I only have a emulator with a few games on it for 64.
