After hearing about Snap for so long, and especially after seeing all the praise for the sequel, I've been really looking forward to playing this game. I had a pretty good time with it. It was fun to see all the different Pokemon in the wild. I already knew about the ability to knock Charmeleon into the lava to evolve it, but pretty much everything else was new. The gameplay itself holds up okay, though I can see a lot of easy things I hope are changed in the sequel, like the one-by-one counting of your pictures and the clunkiness of the menu when selecting the ones you want to show to the professor. There were also some instances where I thought I took a good picture, but it wasn't quite big or centered enough so everything else about it was thrown out. These frustrations didn't ultimately detract too much from the experience, but they were noticeable. I'm definitely looking forward to trying New Pokemon Snap some day.
