Photography: Difference between revisions

The concept of '''photography''' has appeared in many Pokémon games as well as in the {{Trading Card Game}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{pkmn|anime}}. Starting with its introduction in the game [[Pokémon Snap]], photography has appeared in several other games since.

Players of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] may also to take pictures of certain battle scenes if the game is paused. Photographs typically take 1 block of memory from either the [[Wii]]'s memory or from the SD Card memory. Photos taken in Brawl can be transferred to a personal computer and converted to JPEGs using various programs or websites available online. The players can also take pictures of stages they created. Because the player cannot pause during online multiplayer, the player cannot take photos in that mode.

The concept of photography is also present in the [[Pokémon anime]], first appearing in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where {{an|Misty}}'s {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} took a picture of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. [[Todd Snap]] debuted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', which later inspired the release of Pokémon Snap. In the episode, {{TRT}} hired photographer Todd Snap to "capture" {{AP|Pikachu}}, not realizing that Todd meant to capture Pikachu ''on film''. Todd appears in a number of subsequent episodes, in which he tries to photograph other Pokémon, including the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{p|Articuno}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a {{p|Fearow}} soared overhead with a camera attached to its neck. This camera was used by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} in search of worthy {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to summon to the [[New Island]].

Photography also appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where a [[Block Bot]] took pictures of Ash and his friends for passport IDs.

Photography appeared again in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', where Team Rocket tried to take a group picture of Ash's, {{an|Dawn}}'s, and {{an|Brock}}'s Pokémon in exchange for a map. In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', Team Rocket disguised themselves as photographers in an attempt to capture the Pokémon of Ash and his friends.

In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Ash met a beginning Trainer named [[Trip]], who documents his {{pkmn|journey}} through the [[Unova]] [[region]] by taking pictures.  

In ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]'', Ash met a photographer named {{OBP|Robert|BW054}}, whose goal was getting a picture of {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Deerling and Sawsbuck|all four forms}} of {{p|Sawsbuck}} together. [[Robert's grandfather|His grandfather]] was also a photographer who had accomplished that and had taken pictures of Pokémon outside of [[Unova]].
