In Pokémon Snap, the famous Pokémon Researcher [[Professor Oak]] is studying Pokémon on [[Pokémon Island]], and invites [[Todd Snap]], a talented young [[photography|photographer]], to assist in his research. The only current inhabitants of Pokémon Island are wild Pokémon, making it the perfect place to study Pokémon in their natural habitat. Whereas a Trainer may not be able to resist catching the wild Pokémon of the island, Todd's photography skills may equally aid in the Professor's research to complete his {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}. | In Pokémon Snap, the famous Pokémon Researcher [[Professor Oak]] is studying Pokémon on [[Pokémon Island]], and invites [[Todd Snap]], a talented young [[photography|photographer]], to assist in his research.

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. | ||

For a period of time after Snap's launch, Pokémon Snap Sticker Stations were available at {{wp|Blockbuster LLC|Blockbuster}}, which would print out stickers of pictures which were taken in the game for three dollars.

There was also a mode in ''{{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'' which would take and save pictures of Pokémon and print them out at the Stations. Special overlays were made to promote ''Pokémon Stadium'', so there exists two variations of the station. Internally, it is just a Nintendo 64 with a printer that connects to P4 port, a special version of the cartridge for the printing tasks, and a special cartridge adaptor to switch between ''Pokémon Snap Station'' and ''Pokémon Snap'' or ''Pokémon Stadium''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMbjvGvPkV4]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_UGpRN6AnM&t=3m35s]</ref> | ||

* 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> | * 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."
