I’ll never forget the first time I played Pokémon Snap. A neighbor kid, Sam, had spent days telling me all about the new Pokémon game he’d gotten for his Nintendo 64, but I hadn’t really been paying much attention. I had no idea how the actual Pokémon trading card game was played, though I’d gathered that it involved battles — something nine-year-old me was wholly uninterested in — so I’d mostly been tuning him out.


It’s great to see appreciation for Pokémon Snap! It’s definitely a unique experience in the Pokémon universe, and those memories of playing with friends make it even more special. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
