POKEMON SNAP (JAPAN)
BACKGROUND & CREDITS:
=================================================================
I don't know any Japanese and searched high and low for hints and / or
translations on the net without much luck.
However through the help of Beth (Free plug : writer of some excellent
guides including the Official Guide To Zelda!)with her menu translations and
hints AND my tireless wife Liza who played together till the wee hours of
the morning in search of more Pokemons and ways of opening up new levels!
So for those of you who are NOT JAPANESE LITERATE and who have this game but
spent nights trying to suss out the REAL AIM of the game – this FAQ's
specially for you!
I know my limitations when it comes to the Japanese language so I welcome
any help from everyone to make this FAQ even better – just mail me at
[email protected] or icq me at #6118669.
1. UPDATES
=================================================================
9th April 1999
I figured that I might as well post it without actually completing it for
those who have gone far and cannot wait to finish the game. I will plug in
the details of the other environments soon. At the moment only the Beach
environment is tackled in detail. The guide to open the final environment
is at Section 7 below.
10th April 1999 0200 GMT :
I'm adding the names of the individual Pokemons as I find 'em. Also a
section is added for the Pokemons that can be found in a particular
environment eg. 6.2.2.1. The "go-faster wheels" found in the Rapids level is
actually called the "DASH ENGINE". Many thanks to Beth for that.
12th April 1999.0220 GMT :
I think it is infinitely more fun for gamers to actually find the animals
themselves -- and most of them are quite easy to locate. So from the Lava
Pit Sections onward I will only add tips on locating the harder ones that I
have found. I'm pretty sure there are more but this is all that i've found
so far. To have an idea on the size of the game -- if you start from scratch
-- it should take you about 3 hours to open up the final environment if
you're really quick. But again the charm of this game is not to speed
through it but rather relax and soak in the environment -- just like in a
real - life safari!
Thanks to
[email protected] in helping me name some of the Pokemons. It's a
nightmare trying to get all their
names right! As you can undoubtedly see -- my descriptive powers are
somewhat lacking. Eg. Red Uglies in the Lava Pit level?? What on earth is
that???
12th April 950GMT : More corrections added with correct names. The Red
Uglies are in fact known as Magmars.
13th April 0200 GMT :
More thanks to Shade for his relentless help in the Pokemon names.
[email protected] pointed out that some of my strategies can be improved
upon -- and I'd have to agree so I'm all ears for any contributions from
anyone.
13th April 1310 GMT :
Version 1.3 is here! A NEW SECTION is added right after Section 5.4 which
endeavours to list down ALL the Pokemons found in this game. I have no time
to restructure the numberings of this FAQ so at the moment I will maintain
my (lazy?) SUBSTANCE OVER FORM format -- I have a day job so time is limited
: ( In all likelihood once I'm really satisfied with the content of this FAQ
I will actually sit down and do nice Table of Contents with a more
systematic Subsections. Till then -- updating new things are more important!
[email protected] says there should be 62 Pokemons in the game. Anyone found
all? If you have drop me a line and tell me what happens when you do find
all. Dreflin has also joined in the fray in naming the Pokemons. Thanks
Dude!
Please tell me the Pokemons that I am missing in the NEW SECTION. Cheerz!
Added : a better way of getting good shots of the Lapras in the Beach
environment at 6.2.5.4
14th April 1430 GMT : Additional tip by
[email protected] at 6.2.5.5 in luring
Lapras without any items at all at the Beach environment. After passing the
first Pikachu, look towards the Island where Doduo is running about. You can
make out the first Lapras. If you manage to succesfully focus it (as opposed
to wild shots with the focus dot not on the subject) and get a couple of
shots -- it will appear again at the next cove. Again get focussed shots of
it. At the next cove by Kangaskhan it will appear really close with 2 other
friends! Tested & Verified!
[email protected] has a tip for getting Slowbros in the River environment. To
get Slowbro, throw apples to the right of the 2 Slowpokes to make them go to
the brown patch. Once there they will stick their tails in the water to fish
out Cloysters which will clamp on the them and turn them Slowbros (See
Section 6.5.2.5 ).
Minor amendments : The game seems to suggest a grand total of 63(not 62)
Pokemons in the game in which 61 has been indentified with proper names --
the gaps being graciously filled in by Dreflin and Shade. Thanks Dudes! Also
corrected : when Diglett appears with friends, they are known as Dugtrio and
not "Diglett and Family" (6.3.2.3.2). Ha! I laugh myself silly at these
mistakes I make ..: )
20th April 950GMT : My mailserver has been down for a while but now it's
back! I will add in all the comments and reviews I got from the dudes and
dudettes. There won't be many more updates and this will be officially
christened as Version 2.0.
New Section 8 : Reviews By Gamers
Paul von Dresky says that in the Rapids Level near the Whirlpool -- knock
the Magikarp flopping the land back into the water by throwing apples at it.
A Gyrados will then eat it! (6.7.2.7)
Rybread says that in Ice Cavern you can knock the Zubat that has a Pikachu
in its clutches. Afterwards a Pikachu on balloons will appear!(6.6.2.6)

2. THE GAME
=============================================================
You play as Tooru, a master cameraman on board a specialized vehicle that
traverses the wild jungles of Pokemon
Island. So armed with your camera, quick reflexes and a few items that you
will earn along the way – your goal is to take as many beautiful pictures of
Pokemons as you can! That basically sums up the game! Like in a real life
safari – these furry creatures do not exactly hold a pose for you – so part
of the challenge is to lure, attract, knock, frighten, feed and even "kill"
in order for you to get a decent close-up.
You get 60 exposures of film per location and the objective is for you to
get the best shots of any given animal and get them assessed by Dr Okido to
earn points.

3.Knock the Meowths to make them dizzy (not much points)
4. Throw apples at Kangaskhan at the end of the level to make it face you.
Throw it in advance so that by the time your vehicle reaches that point he
will be up close and facing you.
6.2.4 Camera with apples and smoke-bomb
----------------------------------------
1. Smoke bomb Snorlax to make him briefly take a peek.
2. Knock Meowth off the hill with the bomb to make it pose to you on the
ground.
3. Continuously throw the bomb at the bushes where there grass is flying /
scatttering in the wind to lure out :
a) a Scyther (green grasscutter) and
b) 2 Pikachus. For added bonus quickly lure the Pikachus with apples for
them to pose on the tree stumps. More points if you can get both Pikachus in
the same photo. Easily 6000 points here!
4. Bomb the white puff being chased by Evee to turn it into Chansey (fat
Pokemon with an egg in its pouch)
6.2.5 Camera with apples, smoke-bomb and flute
----------------------------------------------
1. Play the flute will make the all 3 Pikachus go into an electrical frenzy!
2. Bomb Snorlax to wake it up and immediately play the flute to make him
dance for you.
3. Bomb Meotch on the hill as in 6.2.4.2 but this time play the flute to
make him dance on the ground instead of its usual prancing.
4.Keep playing the flute to lure the Lapras closer. If you keep doing that
and throw the occasional bombs in the sea -- they should appear very close
at the cove near Kangaskhan. In fact both Lapras will sway to the tune of
the flute. Shockingly close!
-----------------------------------------
6.3 THE TUNNEL
-----------------------------------------
6.3.1 General

Progress Type : Activating a switch at the end of the level. Throw the bomb
at the lone Voltrob just before the end of the level to make it explode and
open up Lava Pit. You need an apple first before you can do this. Keep
playing and Dr Okido will eventually give you some. The faster you get
decent scores, the faster you get your apples.

6.3.2 Just Camera
-----------------
6.3.2.1 Outside
-------
1. Pikachu on your right. You can make Pikachu play with the Voltorb by
taking its photo early. With every shot it will move forward and eventually
climb on a Voltorb.
2. 3 Voltorbs.
3. 1 Electabuzz
4. Many Kakunas. You can't get a good shot without the apples.
5. 1 static Voltorb to your left just before the First Door. Easy 4,000
points here.

6.3.3 Camera, apples, smoke bomb and flute
--------------------------------------------
6.3.3.1 Outside
--------
1. Close up on a Kakuna -Slow down the first Electtabuzz by throwing apples
at it. This enables the Kakunas to slide down from the ceiling for a good
close-up. Otherwise it'd be too afraid of the Electabuzz.
6.3.3.2 First Door
-----------
1. Zapdos (bird) - Lure Pikachu towards the Egg with apples. When it gets
close enough, play the Flute to make it go into an electrical frenzy and
hatch the egg. This bird will trigger the projection screen at the next
room.
6.3.3.3 Second Door
------------
1. Close-up on the Electabuzzs - throw apples on their heads to make it face
you and get close
2.Second Pokemon Sign -- Flute required to enable this sign. Look for it on
your right just after the 2 Electabuzzes.
3. Throw apples at the final Voltorb to open Lava Pit environment.
4. Throw apples at the Recoils to make them pose for you.
-----------------------------------------
6.4 THE LAVA PIT
-----------------------------------------
6.4.1 General
-----------------
Progress Type : Earn points. No switches.
6.4.1.2 What can be found
-------------------------
5 Ponytas (flaming horses : 3 coming at you and 2 at the crater)
3 Vulpix
3 Magmars
2 Charmeleons
At least 8 Charmeleons
2 Charmanders
1 Charizard (hidden)
1 Moltres (majestic-looking bird)
2 Arcanine (hidden)
1 Grolith (hidden)
6.4.2 Just Camera
-----------------
By the time you get here - you would already have earned your apples.
6.4.3 Camera and apples
-----------------------
1. Prancing Ponyta -- throw an apple in front of them to make them pause and
prance.
2. Lure the 3 Vulpix together with apples to get a good picture. Dont throw
at it -- aim at a location where you want them to congregate.
3. 1 Charmander & 1 Magmar. Improvise on every visit. Throw apples to make
the the Ugly Red Thingie burn the
Charmander to turn it into Charmeleon. Or lure the Charmander to the extreme
right with food -- it jumps up in elation once fed. Good points for an
action photo.
4. Knock the Charmeleon into the lava pool at the very end of the level. It
will turn into a Charizard! Once it does – throw apples at it and it will
spit flames!
6.4.2 Camera, apples, smoke bomb and flute
---------------------------------------------
1. Pokemon Sign 3#. See Section 7.
2. Get stuck behind the egg that blocks your path. Lure the Charmeleons on
your left by throwing apples. You can lure about 10 in all. When they are in
a bunch -- lure them towards you with more apples. Knock them on their heads
with items and they will start "roaring" at you! And when u get the flute --
repeat the same process and when they are close play the flute. All of them
will do a synchronised dance. Very cute!
3. Towards the end of the level you will see three small craters on your
right. Smoke bomb each crater (have to be quick) to lure out Grolith and two
Arcanines.
-----------------------------------------
6.5 THE RIVER
-----------------------------------------
6.5.1 General
-----------------
Progress Type : Activating a switch. Throw the bomb at hill-side where a
sharp pointy nose is visible just behind the switch. A Porygon will burrow
out and activate it.
6.5.2 Quick Tips.
-------------
1. Use bombs to chase the Poliwags (blue creatures with a bullseye symbol on
their tummies) on the right bank of the river to go forward. Once they hit
the clearing -- throw apples and they will start scurrying towards you and
dive into the river. I only managed to get 3 Poliwags to do so
simultaneously but i think 4 is possible.
2. On the left bank -- look for 3 green Bulbasaurs : 2 hidden in a trunk
(you can just see their tops) and one hiding in a fallen log. Bomb the 2 in
the trunk to make them jump out and lure the one in the log with apples. Get
all 3 in one good shot and there will be plenty of points.
3. You can make the green Metapods slide down from their perch by throwing
bombs at it. Try and make the final
Metapod block your path so that you can turn 180 degrees and have time to
compose a good group shot of the previous Metapods.
4. 2 Slowpokes (pink creatures)on the left bank. They dont react well to any
forms of stimulation. I found that the best points are taken when they stand
on their hind legs and moan (yawn?). They do it automatically so dont throw
anything! Just wait ..
5. To get Slowbro, throw apples to the right of the 2 Slowpokes to make them
go to the brown patch. Once there they will stick their tails in the water
to fish out Cloysters which will clamp on the them and turn them Slowbros.
6. With the flute you can make the smoking red plant on your right dance.
7. There are 2 Porygons near the switch -- one green and one brown. The
green one is harder to see but it's found at the leafy green banks. Look for
a green pointy nose.
-----------------------------------------
6.6 THE ICE CAVE
-----------------------------------------
6.6.1 General
-----------------
Progress Type : Earn enough points. If you don't – repeat some of the
levels until you do. The next level will open
automatically. There are no hidden switches.
6.6.2 Quick Tips
---------------
1. The green Bulbasaurs turn into Dittos (pink slimer) when you bomb them.
2. You can get a good shot of the Grimers (ash coloured slimers) appearing
to your right when you start the stage by using the Dash Engine. You can get
real close to the third Grimer
3. Save the 3 Pink Jigglypuffs being chased by the Koffings. Save all three
and they will sing to you at the end of the level. Absolutely adorable with
their cute voices and all!
4. Knock the Weepinbell (yellow Pokemon that is bouncing around a pool of
water) into the pool. It will transform into Victreebel.
5. The Flute will make the two Jynx's dance and hatch Artucino. Don't be too
sidetracked by Artucino and forget to take the photos of the 2 Jynx's as
well.
6. You can knock the Zubat that has a Pikachu in its clutches. Afterwards a
Pikachu on balloons will appear!
---------------------------------------
6.7 THE RAPIDS
----------------------------------------
6.7.1 General
-----------------
Progress Type : Activating a switch at the end of the level. You will see 3
Squirtles (shelled pokemons) and a monkey at the top of a hill at the bend
just before where the switch is located. The key is to smoke bomb the last
Squirtle ie. left most. Wait till it floats by and when it is in the right
part of your screen : smoke bomb him to make him scamper up the hill and
knock the monkey over. Now bomb the said monkey on the other side and he'll
stomp on the switch. Once you clear this level a scene will transpire
telling you of the Pokemon Signs. Start on a previous environment and you
should be getting the Dash Engine and Flute.
6.7.2 Quick Tips
----------------
1. Immediately at the start of the stage bombard the water in front of you
with bombs. You will see 3 Squirtles appearing underneath the water's
surface. Try to bomb them out of the water either to the left bank or the
right bank. Once they're there -- attract them with apples and get them
together for a group shot. Try not to him the apples at them cos it'll make
them dizzy and hence gives them less time to pose for you.
2. Knock the 3 Geodudes clinging to the cliff on your right with bombs to
make 3 Sandslash come out. Experiment on single shots -- take it when the
Sandslash are in mid - air as they burrow out of the ground for good points.
Alternatively get them all to burrow out quickly and get a group shot.
2. Knock the 2 clinging Geodudes on the left bank of the river to make the
Graveler (Rock-like Pokemon) fall down. Try to take pic of the Graveler as
it is falling down for an action shot. A Sandshrew gets bumped out of the
ground by this falling Giant so try to quickly lure it with apples to get a
decent close-up.
3. You can make the three Gravelers on the left bank drop down from their
perch and stomp around in circles by playing the Flute.
4. The tip about the Stars (Starryu) is to take a focussed shot -- if u do
corectly - it will spin around in circles and follow you. Do the same for
all 3 stars and it will follow you to the whirpool. All three will emerge
from the pool Purple in colour as Starmie.
5. Continously bomb the whirlpool to make a Dragonite fly out.
6. On your next excursion to the whirlpool -- concentrate on the water to
the left of the whirpool with more bombs. 3 Dratinis (blue eels) will jump
out of the waters.
7. At the whirlpool, knock the Magikarp flopping on the land back into the
water by throwing apples at it. A Gyrados will then eat it!
-----------------------------------------
7.0 THE SPECIAL STAGE : MEW!!
-----------------------------------------
7.1 General
-----------------
Progress Type : Once you clear the Rapids level – you will be told of the
Pokemon Signs. It is now that a new sub menu will open under the POKEMON
REPORT SCREEN. Find the 6 Pokemon images in the shadows of each level to
get to this stage. There is 1 pokemon image per environment. You can only
get here once you have all the items ie. apples, smoke-bomb, flute and the
Dash Engine.
7.1.2 Where to find the 6 signs
---------------------------------
Beach
After passing the first Pikachu on your right , look to your left and you
will see a mossy rock structure which resembles like two curling palms and a
head. Focus the middle and take many many shots. Although there are no
animals in sight you will find that you can still focus and the subject will
be labelled as "New". Get the photo graded and it will automatically be
matched to the Pokemon Signs.
Tunnel
Lure the second Pikachu to move forwards towards the egg by using apples.
When he gets close enough play the flute and Pikachu's electrical frenzy
will hatch the egg. The bird will then fly to the contraption to trigger the
projector mechanism. In the next room after passing the two tigers – you
will see a projection against the rock wall. Take the photo of the image
and get it graded!!
Lava Pit
Ignore the horses and throw smoke bombs into the volcano pit on the left.
When done correctly, the wisp of smoke that comes out is the Third Pokemon
Sign!
River
Just above the dancing mushroom on your right– you will see a tree
overlooking it. Look closely and you will find that the tree resembles the
face of another Pokemon. Snap! Snap! Snap!
Ice Cave
Locate the third Jigglypuff that is being chased by a Koffing. You should
see something sparkling where they are – take the photo. Lots! It should
develop into a ghostly image of another Pokemon!
Rapids
When u start the level – just look forward. In the distance you will see
the 3 huge rock structures resembling the faces of more Pokemons.
That's it! This will open the Final Stage where you can take photos of the
elusive Mew!!!
-----------------------------------------
8.0 REVIEW BY GAMERS
-----------------------------------------
Rybread : If one has a couple of extra bucks and likes looking at dem pretty
pictures, Pokemon Snap is for you. A deep game that should be played over
weeks, not killed in a dat. The US release will be worth a rent by anyone,
for there is undeniable fun in the game, but lenght is in question. Engine
seems solid, with a few exceptions (like when too close is not good).
Definitely a rent.
Shaun Davis and Linda Chivington: Pokeman Snap brings all the fun of
collecting pokemon as in the Gameboy
version, but in a different way. Instead of having to fight for pokemon, you
can let your artistic side shine with the chance to take pictures of pokemon
with your trusty camera in many different environments. Its so fun to see
all the different pokemon react to all your different actions and then
trying to get the perfect picture of it. (Trust me, it isn't easy) Also, the
game is still very much like an adventure game with the excitement provided
whenever you find a new pokemon. If your interested in photography, or just
searching for many things and finding secrets, give this game a try. (P.S.:
If you're a pokemon fan you already know your going to get the game anyway
so who cares.)
Myself & Beth : Another shining example by Nintendo in coming up with
ingenious and novel games that no one has thought of before ie. a board game
(Mario Party), unique fighting game (Super Smash Bros) and now a photography
game. Both sexes will enjoy the game -- it is very tranquil and relaxing at
times, and exciting at others. It is so cool when you get to explore new
environments and see how the Pokemon you love and hate are depicted as
living! On the whole, I recommend this game -- and without a doubt
whatsoever : Pokemon fans will love it!!!
