New Pokémon Snap: 10 Things We Want To See

10. Judging Photo Quality Accurately

In the original game, you play as Todd Snap, a photographer who helps Professor Oak with his research by taking pictures of the wildlife. To study the specimens properly, you need to take quality shots of the animals in the area. Oak takes several factors into account upon analysing your images. If the Pokémon is clearly in frame or is striking a specific pose, you will be awarded with extra points. Obtaining a certain amount of points is crucial to unlock new regions of the island to explore.

Now, that sounds like a pretty logical format for a photography game. Unfortunately, this mechanic wasn't exact. You could get the greatest picture of Pikachu possible but Oak might give you a low score, claiming the yellow mouse is barely in the frame. You could get a shot of a Pokémon whose appearance is obscured and yet, Oak will reward you with a ton of points.

This was one of the biggest let-downs for Pokémon Snap and it needs to be fixed for the sequel. This mechanic cannot be good or better than the original. It HAS to be perfect.
