History VideoGame / NewPokemonSnap

* CallARabbitASmeerp: Fluffruit, used to feed Pokémon, look more or less indistinguishable from an apple.

* BossOnlyLevel: After certain research milestones, the player gains access to an "Illumina" stage, in which the focus is on a single large creature (or multiples of the same species) that takes some effort to get a clear picture of. However, this only applies to the Level 1 version of the stage; after "beating" the boss once, a variant of the area with other Pokémon becomes available.

** Also returning is [[spoiler:Todd, from the original game]].

* CallBack: Mew reappears with a barrier that must be hit in order to take a proper picture of it within a short window, much like in the original game.
* FakeLongevity: Despite every Pokemon having at least four poses that must be photographed for OneHundredPercentCompletion, you can only submit one picture per species at the end of a stage, which means that a BossOnlyLevel must be played at least four times to complete a boss's Photo-dex entry.

* LegacyCharacter: More like legacy vehicle, your ride this time is the NEO-ONE instead of the ZERO-ONE from the original ''Snap''.

* PuzzleBoss: The Illumina Pokemon after Meganium can require some trial and error for proper pictures showcasing their power.

* RemixedLevel: Every area in the game has Levels, which are unlocked through taking photographs there. At higher Levels, there are more Pokémon, different variants/genders start appearing, and some Pokémon have different behavior. Additionally, most areas also have a Night variant, which have their own Levels and unique Pokémon.

* MythologyGag:
** In a trailer, a Frillish can be seen dragging Magikarp down into the depths, like its Pokédex entries mention that they do to things that they plan on eating.
** Mareanie can be spotted chasing a Corsola in the Reef in an attempt to eat it.
** [[spoiler:Mew reappears with a barrier that must be hit in order to take a proper picture of it within a short window, much like in the original game.]]

* AdaptedOut:
** The Pester Ball from the original game is replaced with the Illumina Orb.
** The Dash Engine is swapped out for a scan function that emits a scanning pulse around the NEO-ONE's surroundings.

The game also has a photo editing feature a la ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'', where players can adjust the contrast and focus as well as add stickers. Players can share photos online and rank their favorites. Other new features include a day and night system not unlike the main series games and optional paths for the player to take during courses.

** While you're still docked for points if the subject isn't facing you, is too far away, or isn't in the center, it doesn't matter as much for getting good shots now.

* AdaptedOut: The Pester Ball from the original game is replaced with the Illumina Orb.

* FinalBoss: After photographing all of the other Illumina Pokémon, the player [[spoiler:gains access to ancient ruins in which Illumina power awakens a Xerneas that had been sleeping in the form of a tree]].

%%** You can toggle how fast you want the pointer to go as one of the options, resulting in quicker turnarounds.

* LegacyCharacter: More like legacy vehicle, your ride this time is the NEO-ONE instead of the ZERO-ONE.

* PowerGlows: The reason Prof. Mirror has set up his research station is to study the "Illumina Phenomenon", following legends that the region was once saved by a group of glowing Pokémon.

* RailShooter: Much like the original game, you're going down a course while taking pictures of Pokémon. ''Unlike'' the original game, however, scanning the area can reveal alternate courses you can take, rather than just unlocking whole new areas.

* ButtMonkey: Skorupi is subjected to a great deal of punishment, from being crashed into by a falling Minior, sucked into a sandstorm, and crushed underneath a sleeping Onix.

** Also returning is [[spoiler:Todd, from the original game.]]

* PokemonSpeak: Zigzagged. While the original game had all the Pokémon use their anime voices, this game seems to only have [[SeriesMascot Pikachu]] use its anime voice, much like the core series games as of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''. The other Pokémon appear to make realistic animal sounds, as shown with Deerling and Sawsbuck.
* RailShooter: Much like the original game, you're going down a course while taking pictures of Pokémon. Unlike the original game, however, scanning the area can reveal alternate courses you can take, rather than just unlocking whole new areas.

* TheBusCameBack: A lot of Pokémon that were excluded from ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' such as Aipom, Pidgeot, and Toucannon return in this game as shown in the trailers.

* CallARabbitASmeerp: The overview trailer has fluffruit, which look more or less indistinguishable from an apple.

* GottaCatchThemAll: Once again, catch them ''on film'', as shown in the Overview Trailer.
* LegacyCharacter: More like legacy vehicle. As shown in the trailers, your ride this time is the NEO-ONE instead of the ZERO-ONE.

* AdaptationalNameChange: The apples, which are called simply "Pokémon food" in the original game, are renamed Fluffruit.
* AdaptedOut: The Pester Ball from the original game will be replaced with the Illumina Orb. Though in hindsight, throwing balls of noxious gas at living creatures in the wild isn't a good idea to begin with.
** Professor Oak seems to be absent from this game as well, with Professor Mirror in his place.

* RailShooter: Much like the original game.

* RailShooter: Of a sorts. You're on a literal rail, but the game is much more slower-paced than any proper Rail Shooter - and there's no life points or the like.
