(→‎Gameplay: when used in sentence case, both terms appear to be lowercase both in-game and on the website; Photodex should certainly become an article (rather than a redirect); (still not sure about Sweet! Medals notability))

The {{player}} is asked by [[Professor Mirror]] to [[photography|photograph]] Pokémon in their natural habitats across [[Lental]], an archipelago region with a variety of different ecosystems. The professor and his assistant [[Rita]] guide the player across the islands of Lental and inform about the research team's ecological survey. [[Phil]], a boy who recently arrived in Lental and has a rivaling relation toward the player, also joins the research team.

When arriving at a research site, the [[NEO-ONE]] vehicle (Japanese: ネオワン号) will automatically steer along the route, allowing for the player to take photos in all directions. There are various tools available that interact with the environment. [[Fluffruit]] (Japanese: ふわりんご ''Fluffy Apple'') can be used to catch the attention of nearby Pokémon. Additionally, the player can use [[Illumina orb]]s (Japanese: イルミナオーブ), items developed by Professor Mirror and related to the [[Illumina]] phenomenon (Japanese: イルミナ現象) unique to the Lental region. Illumina orbs can sometimes create unusual effects, such as changing the color of fire that Pokémon emit to blue instead of red. The player also has the option to play a melody (Japanese: メロディ) and search the surroundings (Japanese: サーチ). As courses are being researched, their [[research level]] (Japanese: 調査レベル) increases, allowing for Pokémon to exhibit different expressions and behaviors.

Pictures of Lental's wild Pokémon are evaluated with one to four stars by Professor Mirror, indicating how rare the behavior displayed is. One picture from each star category can be added to the corresponding page of the [[Photodex]], an album designed to display photos and additional information of wild Pokémon. Photos taken during expeditions can also be saved to a personal album that is distinct from the Photodex. These photos can be edited in terms of brightness, blur, zoom, and other aspects, or added stickers, frames, and filters. With a [[Nintendo Switch Online]] membership, photos can also be shared online, and awarded [[Sweet! Medal]]s (Japanese: りんごメダル ''Apple Medal'') by other players.
