Pokémon Snap Celebration Event
The New Pokémon Snap Celebration commemorates the April 30 release of New Pokémon Snap for Nintendo Switch!
In New Pokémon Snap, you’ll travel to islands unknown to photograph a variety of Pokémon and create your very own Pokémon Photodex. To celebrate the game’s release, you can enjoy an event in Pokémon GO inspired by this fun method of researching Pokémon ecology through photography!
