New Pokemon Snap does an excellent job showcasing some long-forgotten and neglected Pokemon, reminding fans that every Pokemon can be special in the right circumstances. The main series Pokemon games have increasingly turned into a Legendary free-for-all over the years. In almost every Pokemon game since Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, players have battled evil Pokemon trainers while trying to prevent them from harnessing the powers of a Legendary Pokemon. These games have established that Legendary Pokemon are the ultimate Pokemon - they can cause environmental cataclysms, re-write reality, power doomsday weapons, and warp space-time itself. Because of the sheer power levels of Legendary Pokemon and their importance to the plotline of the main series games, it can feel like Legendary Pokemon are the only Pokemon that truly make a difference in the Pokemon world.
