New Pokémon Snap
New Pokémon Snap is out now on the Nintendo Switch and it is starting to activate on various Nintendo Switch eShops as it hits midnight. As such, our coverage is due to begin. We'll be posting content over the coming days for the game with our usual level of details and it'll be upgraded as time progresses. If you see any encounters or big interactions we've missed, please let us know
We currently have a near complete Pokémon List with Locations and a Lental Region Location Database which details every stage and all the Pokémon we can see in that stage
Edit @ 07:29: Updated more interactions into the PhotoDex section
Edit @ 13:15: As per request, I have created a page on Mechanics behind Photo Ratings and Score
