New Pokemon Snap is coming and Nintendo is dropping some helpful tips for newcomers. Veterans of the spinoff series know that the entire game is framed around excellent camera skills. But, newbies need to know, you won’t be debating the difference between Iron Tail and Volt Tackle. Your main concern in New Pokemon Snap will be finding the middle of the frame and catching the cute creatures in a variety of poses. (Sadly, they won’t know the joy of going to a Blockbuster video and printing out your photos for display on the fridge.) So, remember trainers, use all the weird items at your disposal like Pester Balls and apples to get the creatures into the perfect position and snap away to your heart’s content. Good luck out there trainers, and check out Nintendo’s post below.

In #NewPokemonSnap, Professor Mirror will evaluate your photos based on your subjects’ poses, how large they appear, how directly they’re facing you, and where they fall in frame. With these photography tips in mind you’ll be well on your way to building your Photodex! pic.twitter.com/eFLrQmHRc9
