Test your Pokemon Snap knowledge with this expert quiz and nostalgia trip
Rediscovering Pokemon Snap
As New Pokemon Snap revitalizes the photography adventure on Nintendo Switch, veteran trainers have a unique opportunity to revisit their N64 roots. This isn’t just about nostalgia – it’s a legitimate test of your Pokemon photography expertise after two decades.
The original 1999 classic established gameplay mechanics that still influence modern titles. Our quiz measures how well you’ve retained knowledge of these foundational elements while introducing connections to the new Lental region adventures.
Beyond simple recall, this challenge evaluates your understanding of Pokemon behaviors, evolution triggers, and optimal photography techniques that made the N64 version revolutionary. The 22-year gap since release makes this a true test of dedicated fandom.
What the Quiz Covers
Our carefully crafted questions assess multiple dimensions of Pokemon Snap mastery:
- Pokemon Knowledge: Can you recall all 63 original Pokemon and their behaviors?
- Mechanical Expertise: Remember how to trigger special events like Magikarp’s evolution?
- Photography Skills: Do you know the scoring criteria for perfect shots?
- Hidden Secrets: Can you locate all the Mew sightings?
Advanced questions will challenge even seasoned players, requiring knowledge of obscure interactions like how to make Charmander stand on its tail or the exact method to photograph Pikachu on the surfboard.
Expert Tips for Success

- Memory Triggers: Associate Pokemon with their signature behaviors (e.g., Jigglypuff always sings)

Common mistakes to avoid:
