From the very first moment you switch on your Nintendo 64, a colorfull intro will let us know what's all about this time. Its graphics are awesome, and there are tons of secrets, which I will mention shortly. The game based on taking pictures of Pokémon. It looked so cool, but only true Pokémon lovers will enjoy this game. Huh, isn't that Todd from the Animé? He will be the main charecter in this game, and his objective will be to snap all the Pokémon in the Pokémon Island with his camera. In this island I've got to mention that there are only 63 out of the 151 we actually know. Professor Oak will personally rate all your photos, and give them a score.

009.jpg (10167 bytes)Your mission is to take the best Pokémon photos, to help Professor Oak, which has told you to visit this islands. Oak will let you some devices, such as the Zero-One. The Zero One is a vehicle which traves through the rails. You won't have free movement, the Zero-One always will be moving, so you've got to be quick too. The Zero-One has the ability to change form and travel through water, air and ground. This will depend on the stage climatical condtions and its situation. There are six amazing routes to cross. While travelling you will see Pidgeys flying near you, Diggletts coming out from the ground in a tunnel, a flock of Charmanders following you and fighting for food, and even Pikachus jumping near the beach, surfing or even flying with Articuno!

011.jpg (28222 bytes)When travelling through each of the seven stages, which are around seven minutes long, but you have to constantly go back to levels to capture the hidden Pokémon. You will have a maximum of 60 photo film for each level. That doesn't mean you've got to use them all! Also Oak will help you by giving apples, which you will be able to throw to the wild Pokémon and Soon after you get Pokémon food top make the creatures act funny. Pester Balls, a new type of balls which are gas filled Pokéballs that force Pokémon out of their hiding places and into your Pokémon report. Yet another item is the Poké-Flute which wakes up sleepy Pokémon or just pisses Pikachu and Jigglypuff off. Your last and most useful item is the Dash Engine, which helps speed through the levels. But to our sadness, this game has no mobility , you are on a stupid track.

Americans can save the favorite pictures in your scrapbook, and then you can print them up at Blockbuster video for $3.00.
