New Pokemon Snap: How to get the Research Camera

New Pokemon Snap is finally here, the first new entry in the series since Pokemon released on N64 way back in 1999.

The series is a fun side game that allows players to take photographs of Pokemon in their natural habitats rather than capturing and battling them.

Here is how to get the Research Camera so you can take photographs of the over 200 Pokemon in the game.

How To Get The Research Camera

In New Pokemon Snap the sole purpose of the game is to take photographs of Pokemon in their natural habitats.

And to do this, players will need a camera to do so, the Research Camera to be more specific.

The Research Camera allows you to take photographs of Pokemon, as well as using it to communicate with the rest of the team and tag each photograph with your unique ID, much like how each Pokemon caught would have your ID attached to it in the main games.

Thankfully there is no special method to receive the Research camera, you will receive it during the opening cutscene and dialogue section before you hop into your first trip to take photographs of all of the many Pokemon found in the game.
