==Overview==
'''Todd Snap''' (Japanese: '''トオル''' ''Toru'') is a professional {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[photography|photographer]]. Making his debut in the {{pkmn|anime}}, he is most notable as the [[player character]] of {{g|Snap}}.
As a Pokémon [[photography|photographer]], Todd prefers taking photos of Pokémon instead of catching them with [[Poké Ball]]s. He does that as a hobby, but is also often hired to. Although young, Todd seems to have gained enough reputation to catch [[Professor Oak]]'s attention. He is not known to own any Pokémon, despite the number of species he has met, including [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] as rare as {{p|Mew}}.

Todd is the protagonist of {{g|Snap}}. Professor Oak hired him to go to [[Pokémon Island]] with the [[ZERO-ONE]] to take pictures of [[wild Pokémon]] behaving naturally for a [[Pokémon Report]]. He traveled all over the island getting pictures of all the species, and received [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, a [[Poké Flute]], and the [[Dash Engine]] upgrade to help him capture the best images possible. While there, he also took pictures of the [[Pokémon sign]]s, which Professor Oak used to discern the location of the rarest Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}.
===New Pokémon Snap===
Years after the events of Pokémon Snap, Todd appears in [[New Pokémon Snap]] to assist the {{player}} in conducting an ecological survey of the [[Lental]] region. He also worked with [[Professor Mirror]] to design the player's vehicle, the [[NEO-ONE]], which is based on the ZERO-ONE. Prior to the events of the game, [[Phil]] was astonished by his pictures and asked Todd to become his mentor.

===History===
====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Todd Snap.png|thumb|250px|left|Todd Snap in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Todd debuted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', where he began traveling with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} until ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. He had recently become famous after he took a picture of a supposedly extinct {{p|Aerodactyl}} — namely, the very same one that tried to eat Ash, who also appeared in the photo but was blurred out, in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. He was hailed for being able to "capture any Pokémon on film". After seeing the article in a magazine, {{MTR}} misunderstood the wording, not seeing the "on film" part. {{TRT}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised themselves]] and hired Todd to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Japanese version of his debut episode has his resume revealing that he is 10 years old, although this was omitted from the English [[dub]] due to it zooming in on the picture and not translating his resume.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', when {{an|Misty}} mentioned that it had been a while since {{Ash}} had earned a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] and mocked his skills as a Trainer, Todd suggested that Ash should take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] if he wanted to prove his skills. During the exam, Todd used his camera to capture Ash's disappointing results in the theory test, and also his reactions while battling [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|one of the instructors]] in the practice skills exam.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Todd is the only spin-off game character to appear in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga proper, and, due to his introduction in the anime long before Pokémon Snap was released, the only anime-introduced character to appear in Pokémon Adventures.
* Todd is the first male player character to meet Ash.
* He had two separate names in the English-language dub. He is known as '''Todd''' in the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}, {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}}, and [[Pokémon TV]] versions and '''Snap''' in the DVD/VHS version. When [[Pokémon.com]] announced that the episodes featuring him would air on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Toonami Jetstream}} to celebrate the release of Pokémon Snap on [[Virtual Console]] in December 2007, they remedied the conflict by making Snap his surname. <!--CN aired the Kids' WB version seen today 9/15/07 at 2PM ET. They don't have they Snap version, but the Todd version.-->
