The story begins with Todd Snap arriving at Professor Oak's lab. The story's narrative explains that Professor Oak has hired Todd, a photographer, to come to [[Pokémon Island]], a sanctuary for wild Pokémon, and photograph the various Pokémon inhabiting the island for his {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}, a photographic guide to the characteristics and behaviour of the wild Pokémon inhabiting the island. Professor Oak equips Todd with the [[ZERO-ONE]], an all-terrain vehicle resistant to flame and water, allowing Todd to safely travel the island and search for Pokémon. Oak also promises to reward Todd with more tools as his photography skills improve. | The story begins with Todd Snap arriving at Professor Oak's lab.

Arriving in the Valley, Todd immediately started taking pictures of new Pokémon, such as {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Sandshrew}}. He tossed a Pester Ball at a Magikarp which jumped out of the water, which then got kicked away by a {{p|Mankey}}. He continued forward, discovering {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Geodude}} with the aid of his Pester Balls. He found the Magikarp from before flopping around on land. Hitting it with a Pester Ball to get it back in the water, it swam to a waterfall nearby, where it evolved into {{p|Gyarados}}. He took pictures of several {{p|Staryu}} that passed by, which then started following him. As Todd approached a whirlpool, the Staryu went in, and emerged after evolving into {{p|Starmie}}. He continued forward, taking pictures of {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Goldeen}}. Approaching the goal gate, Todd noticed a switch and locked gate like he saw before at the River. Unfortunately, he noticed it too late, so he wasn't able to figure out how to get the switch to activate. Returning to the Valley a second time, Todd encountered a Squirtle on top of a hill. He shot a Pester Ball at it, causing it to slide up and knock down a Mankey that was on top of the hill. The Mankey landed close by to the switch, so Todd threw another Pester Ball at it, causing it to fall down and activate the switch. Behind the gate, he found Professor Oak, who was also in the valley because he was looking for something called [[Pokémon sign]]s, a phenomenon that he had recently been informed of. Oak had been told by his source that the first of these signs was a mountain that looked like {{p|Dugtrio}}. Todd agreed to help Oak look for the Pokémon signs, returning to the Valley to look for the Dugtrio mountain. | Arriving in the Valley, Todd immediately started taking pictures of new Pokémon, such as {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Sandshrew}}.

When he arrived back at the Valley, Todd recognised the Dugtrio mountain immediately, taking several pictures of it. Hoping to find more of the six signs, Todd returned to the Beach, where he found a formation of rocks that looked like a {{p|Kingler}} after several return trips. He returned to the Tunnel, where he found a shadow that coincidentally looked like {{p|Pinsir}} after getting {{p|Zapdos}} to activate the power plant again. Todd continued to explore each area, discovering smoke that resembled {{p|Koffing}} in the Volcano and a tree that resembled {{p|Cubone}} in the River. He revisited the Cave, finally rescuing the {{p|Pikachu}} that was trapped by {{p|Zubat}} before, which floated down with a set of balloons. Todd played his new Poké Flute near the odd egg, causing it to hatch into {{p|Articuno}}. The Pikachu landed from its balloons on to Articuno's back and they flew away together. Finally, he found the last Pokémon sign, a constellation resembling {{p|Mewtwo}}. Noting that the constellation in the Cave resembled a constellation in the night sky, Professor Oak realised that the six Pokémon signs matched six constellations appearing above Pokémon Island. He concluded that there must be something at the [[Rainbow Cloud]], a secret course above the island. | |||
Todd set out for the Rainbow Cloud, eager to discover what secrets may be there. As the [[ZERO-ONE]] traveled forward, at first it seemed like there was nothing nearby, when suddenly, {{p|Mew}} appeared from behind Todd. He tried to take a photo of Mew right away, but the bubble around it prevented the photo from successfully capturing Mew's likeness. Todd tried continuously throwing food and Pester Balls at the bubble, trying to weaken it. Eventually, he managed to break the bubble, allowing him a few moments to take pictures of Mew before a new bubble appeared. Todd was able to do this a few more times before arriving at the Goal Gate. He presented his best photo to Professor Oak, which earned him a total score of 9780 points. Though Todd had found all 63 species of Pokémon on the island and his adventure was coming to an end, he agreed to stay on the island with the Professor for a while longer so that he could revisit each course and try for higher scoring photos of each Pokémon. | |||
