Bad trivias... Those Shellder may be moving weirdly, but it's not necessarily "levitation": they jumped out and more or less arced down

 Rather than catching and training Pokémon, the goal is to explore Pokémon Island and photograph its inhabitant Pokémon. Travel is restricted to tracks designed for the [[ZERO-ONE]], and Todd's equipment includes his [[Photography|camera]], apples to use as [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s to knock out or stun Pokémon, and a [[Poké Flute]] to wake sleeping Pokémon. Some of these items Todd gains further into his journey, as well as earning the [[Dash Engine]] to increase the speed of the ZERO-ONE.
+This game was also {{book|Pokémon Snap|adapted into a novel}} for the [[Pathways to Adventure]] series.

 ==Trivia==
-* This game is one of two games that show Magnemite's evolution that is true to the Pokédex (the other being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]). In Pokémon Snap, in order to evolve Magnemite, three Magnemite have to be gathered. This differs from the RPG Pokémon games and the anime, where three individual Magnemite are not needed. Ironically, this game also shows a form of Magneton that is not touched on in the anime. In the anime, Magneton is always seen in a connected triangle pattern. In Pokémon Snap, Magneton is seen as three Magnemite floating by themselves, totally unconnected, but in a perfect triangle.
+* This is the only game to show {{p|Slowpoke}}'s evolution happening true to the Pokédex. Using Pokémon food, Slowpoke can be lured to the [[Pokémon Island River|River]] where it will dip its tail in the water. When {{p|Shellder}} chomps down on Slowpoke's tail, Slowpoke  will evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}.

+* Even though [[Legendary Pokémon]] cannot be bred in the [[core series]] games, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are clearly shown in Eggs in this game.
-* Even though [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be bred (at least, not in captivity), it is clearly shown that {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are in eggs, which shows they were bred in some sort of way.
+* Magikarp can be found in every course in the game except the special [[Rainbow Cloud]] course.
-* Magikarp can be found in every course in the game (with the exception of [[Rainbow Cloud]]).
+* Although the game features voice acting from the TV series, certain Pokémon that were given new voices for the dub still have their original Japanese voice acting in the game. These include Metapod, Diglett, Dugtrio, Psyduck, and Porygon who, at the time of the game's release, did not have a dub voice.
-* Despite being a Nintendo 64 title, only 63 of the then 151 Pokémon are in this game. {{p|Ekans}} can be seen in pre-release screenshots, indicating the number may have been 64 at some point in development.
+* According to former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, Pokémon Snap was originally "a normal game in which you took photos, but the motivation for playing the game wasn't clear." It wasn't until they introduced Pokémon into the game that HAL's Masanobu Yamamoto thought they had a clarified direction. "That time, adopting the Pokémon world clarified what we should do and the direction we should head, and I came to like Pokémon, so I felt like that had saved us."<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/kirbysepicyarn/0/3 Iwata Asks]</ref>
-** Also, a few Pokémon were included without their evolved forms, most notably Pikachu.

-* In the [[Pokémon Island River|River]] course, {{p|Shellder}} are shown to be capable of levitating, an ability that is not demonstrated by them in any other media.
