The Pokemon Company surprised us all at a recent Pokemon event, sharing a revamped Pokemon Snap that's coming to Nintendo Switch. 

The Pokemon company threw a curveball and will be reimagining a Nintendo 64 classic 20 years later.

While many had expected a remake of an earlier game in the mainline series, such as Diamond and Pearl, few expected the Pokemon photography title to be the title being revived!

Here's everything we know about New Pokemon Snap.

What Is Pokemon Snap?

Pokemon Snap was a title for Nintendo 64 that had players trying to take pictures of Pokemon in their natural habitat.

The movement was on rails, with players able to lure critters in for better pictures and with a wealth of secrets hidden in the game.

This new title looks to be a brand new entry in the series, and it looks gorgeous.

In New Pokemon Snap, you'll be exploring the Lental Region, whose islands hold everything from dense jungles to vast deserts.

Throughout this archipelago, you’ll photograph untouched nature and plenty of wild Pokémon that thrive in Lental’s natural expanses.

Pokémon and vegetation in Lental have sometimes been seen to glow. This is known as the Illumina phenomenon, which is unique to the Lental region in New Pokémon Snap.

At the request of Lental’s own Professor Mirror, you’ll venture from island to island on an ecological survey, floating safely along in your trusty pod, the NEO-ONE, as you photograph Lental Pokémon and their habitats to uncover the truth behind the Illumina phenomenon.

The new game will release on the 30th of April 2021!
