New Pokemon Snap: How To Take A Four Star Photo Of Every Pokemon
One of the most initially confusing aspects of New Pokemon Snap is its star ratings system, particularly the elusive four star photos that are considered to be perfect shots by Professor Mirror.

New Pokemon Snap Hits Differently Than The Original After 20+ Years Of Pokemon Games Being The Same
I will say right off the bat that I’ve got a weird relationship with Pokemon. When the first Pokemon games and anime were released in the US when I was around six years old, I was instantly obsessed. I saw every episode of the show and played through both Red and Blue, multiple times. From […]

New Pokemon Snap: How To Get Ho-oh
Ho-oh is pretty difficult to find in New Pokemon Snap.

Fireflow Volcano is a location in New Pokemon Snap that you unlock shortly after completing various tasks across the Maricopia Islands and Sweltering Sands.
