New Items
Ways New Pokémon Snap Differs From the Original
Items are an important part of Pokémon Snap because they are used to interact with Pokémon and the environment in order to make different types of things happen. A few of the items in New Pokémon Snap are nearly identical to the ones in the original, such as the Fluffruit apple and Melody (Poké Flute), but others are brand new.
The most important new item in the sequel is the Illumina Orb. This has some similarities to Pester Balls from the original game, but instead of bothering Pokémon, they make them glow. They can also be used on Crystabloom flowers to make special things happen on the courses.
There’s also a helpful scanning feature on your camera in New Pokémon Snap that serves a few purposes. It not only tells you important information about your immediate surroundings, but it can also get the attention of Pokémon. This is vital in some cases for getting a Pokémon to look directly at the camera.
