10 Pokémon Games You've (Probably) Never Played

10. Pokémon Snap

Unlike most of the games on this list, Pokémon Snap for the N64 was actually pretty widely available in all regions. It does however live in the shadows of more popular spin-off Pokémon games, with my best guess being that when kids had to choose between whether to ask their parents to buy them the 3D battling simulation experience of Pokémon Stadium or a rail shooter with a Kodak, there was no contest in their adolescent brains.

Pokémon Snap was, as previously mentioned, a “rail-shooter” where you played as Pokémon photographer Todd Snap who toured Pokémon Island to get photographs for Professor Oak to assist his research. As you progressed through the game, you would earn more and more items to interact with the various levels that would change things in the environment like knock hiding Pokémon out of trees or opening a secret route.

The game was supplied to thousands of hotels in Japan, and even had an associated contest that would send the winner to Australia. You could even take your cartridge to Blockbuster or Lawson’s in North America to get your in-game photos made into stickers.
