Never played the original and don't like Pokémon but I'm in for some kind of chill wildlife game where I roam around taking pictures.
How did this game work in the past, are you on rails (like in the little bubble kart thing in the trailer) or are you free to explore around at your own pace? Do you have to set traps and lure the Pokémon in to take pictures? Do they ever attack you?

This could be super fun in handheld mode if it supports gyro controls.

It's really kind of crazy to see this finally announced. Like, we actually have the Pokemon Snap sequel people have been asking for since... the Wii? Almost a Half Life 3 amount of time.
For my part, I never played the original, and it just looks like a fun game to me. I always wanted to, reading the magazines back in the day, and I'm glad the visuals haven't been phoned in for this type of game, something I was a bit afraid of with Pokemon.
On rails, yes. The catch being that there's a ton going on, and lot of ways players can influence the action to create their own good shots. The traps and lures thing is basically it, but I remember there being even more ways to interact with the level and creatures and create awesome opportunities.

What unexpected yet delightful news. It's baffling that it's taken this long to get a second game.
The only thing I'm unhappy about is rhe lack of a release date.

I wouldn't make a big deal out of this. Thats not to say its a bad thing...Snap was something else for N64. The idea behind it was surelly something fans would hope they come back from(the idea was terribly implemented in Sun and Moon though). And its from Bandai Nanco, thats good news.
Can't say much about the visuals though.
Pokemon never pushed almost anything tbh.

It was a pretty huge departure from what 'playing' Pokemon was all about.
I think you had to be more of a Pokemon fan than a video game fan to truly enjoy it.

I absolutely LOVED the first game on N64... hopefully this one is beefy with tons of content.
I've seen some people bitching about the graphics but i thought they looked good for a switch game?? Esp the water scenes...

I loved the original as a kid, but I'm not sure how much this kind of game will hold my attention these days. I'll probably check it out and then hate myself for doing so lol

It pushed its way to becoming the single largest biggest entertainment product amongst all media, leaving second place Star Wars in the dust.

Well I mean I'd love to play it but Switches are sold out pretty much everywhere in my neck of the woods.

Finally! Looks like there's also gonna be a vast majority older better designed Pokemon in the game, too!
I played it for the first time 2 years ago (or was it 3?) and I enjoyed it a lot. Never felt bored.

Why wouldn't it be?
What does this even mean?
Looks fine to me.

I think it hit just right rolling on the hype of the GB/GBA games and the newness of the N64. The fact you could find kiosks running Snap in any retailer at the time was also probably a big factor.

Pokemon Snap is great, shame it took 20 years for a sequel, but I'm pumped!

You know it's strange that it is GOOD news to hear that a game in a major franchise is being created by an outside developer.
Nothing against Pokemon itself, but I don't think GameFreak is a very talented developer.or if they are talented, they aren't given enough time and budget to make something that justifies its popularity.

because they arent as restricted by the hardware as they used to be.
because pokemon games have proportionately larger budgets than the early days.
because rail games restrict the player immersion.
lots of reasons actually why I would expect it to not be on rails in the present day
I expect innovation after 21 years
it means that the time to put out the game was on the wii.
it also means that from what they showed off it looks like a wii game.

The core design of the game is on rails. Do you expect this to be an open world game or something? The mechanics were built around the game being on rails.
I would fully go in expecting the game to still be on rails.
Looks like a Wii game? Get your eyes checked.
This game actually woulda made more sense on the Wii U than the Wii or Switch but okay.
It works just fine on the Switch.

An archievement for someone who didn't pushed any limits in their visual appresentation, story, graphical capabilities, perfomance, inovation, etc.
In no point I denied that Pokemon don't sell. The dumb take is still believing that pokemon pushes anything. Just face it, the name and cute monsters sell themselves. The game is far behind in terms of anything.
Let any dev or company do the same thing they do. If the game has no "Pokemon" in their name, they would not only crucified but ruined in terms of selling.

I was always surprised a Snap game never released for Wii U, the game pad was basically perfect for it. That being said, I'm hype as hell. Loved the original, even if it is arguably a somewhat lacking title.
Excited to see more!

Technically wrong, as they've all been on handheld tech and seemed to push them to their limits up until Sword/Shield. Hopefully they show improvements next time.
